{"product_id":"slayer-divine-intervention-lp","title":"Slayer - Divine Intervention (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat can you say about a band that can find, to quote one song title, \"Serenity In Murder?\" And that can write a poetic, detailed observation on the subject?\u003cbr\u003eNothing that scores of critics haven't said about this shocking heavy-metal band for years, except that they're quite good at it. While their ultraviolent songs are figments of their overactive imaginations, the rage they give voice to isn't; things just may be going down the tubes. The first-person descriptions of rape (\"Sex, Murder, Art\") and necrophilia (\"213\") on DIVINE INTERVENTION are merely a leap of the imagination from the album's third-person attacks on war criminals (\"SS-3\"). Think of it as a character study of a man watching society crumble and crumbling along with it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer's superfast, supertight metal, propelled by Paul Bostaph's machine-gun drumming, bottles that crumbling psyche into music that's almost as dangerous as the words are alleged to be. The speed-of-light vocal on \"Dittohead,\" an indictment of the justice system, is sprayed out like lead from an automatic weapon. \"Serenity In Murder\" slows the singing down over a still-fast beat, creating a psychedelic thrash feel for a song that wallows in the deluded spirituality of a psychotic's act. In the title song, he meets his maker, who may just be the devil. \"Who am I to judge thy grace?\" he asks. And who are you to judge theirs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlayer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tom Araya (vocals, bass); Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman (guitar); Paul Bostaph (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Oceanway, Los Angeles, California and Sound City, Van Nuys, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Killing Fields\u003cbr\u003eA2 Sex.Murder.Art.\u003cbr\u003eA3 Fictional Reality\u003cbr\u003eA4 Dittohead\u003cbr\u003eA5 Divine Intervention\u003cbr\u003eB1 Circle Of Beliefs\u003cbr\u003eB2 SS-3\u003cbr\u003eB3 Serenity In Murder\u003cbr\u003eB4 213\u003cbr\u003eB5 Mind Control\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097607483651,"sku":"C0ZOO8-MXIP-00","price":26.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/slayer-divine-intervention-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
