Vh4 mixed mith 5150III .New AB

While I agree with most if not all of your points, the bit in bold is a subjective musical opinion. Divine Intervention is one of my favourite Slayer albums. Redeeming qualities include kickass vocals, extremely technical drums and guitar hooks for weeks.

Kerry King only said that he didn't like the guitar tones, iirc. I love how they sound when paired with the drums, as though the kit was made up of skulls.

I can't think of a better answer to any critics than this song. There's more in that album, it's so technical compared to anything Slayer ever did:


Also seems to me that Kerry didn't like the album because it was difficult to play live. Hardly any videos on YT of them playing the songs, including the one I posted.

Also that terrible divine intervention song has no motion in the riffs - it doesn't go anywhere. It's just riff salad - which is something the good Slayer albums (like the ones they released before DI) avoid like the plague.

I guarantee you they could play them live, they aren't any more or less technical than anything else they've recorded. It just sucks, which is why they don't play it live.

Like I said, opinions are like a**holes. Everyone's got one. Stating it is fine, I was just pointing out that you're as guilty as what you accused previous posters of.

By that, I mean assuming that it's an absolute truth, though it may indeed be a relative truth based on your musical tastes.

For all we know, I may be a bigger Slayer fan and that's why I rave about what you perceive as a suboptimal effort by the band.

Again, nothing wrong with it, but people living in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

As far as playing the songs, would have, could have, didn't. I can think of far "worse" Slayer albums, like Repentless, but they used to play those songs on tour.

That's actually incorrect, you're just not discerning/or purposely ignoring which part of my statements are my opinion and which are objective or evidentiary

The slayer song being shitty riff salad? Yeah that's my opinion.

Divine Intervention sucking ass? There's actual evidence of that; the biggest being that slayer themselves hate the album, think it sucks, and don't play it live.

You tricked me.

I thought this was going to be you @Techdeth playing a VH4 and 5153 with an ABY pedal.

Divine Intervention: Sold over 93,000 copies in its first week of sales, later certified gold in the United States and Canada. By 2009, it sold over 496,000 copies in the US.

Surely you agree that's not bad for a band that sings about Satan, Dan?

Also, just to note: Kerry King expressed his disapproval over the album's final mix, saying it should have had more attention. Araya said that it "is the one (if any) that he would not mind re-mastering". They didn't say it sucked, there was a lot of tension with management, which was trying to make Slayer a more radio-friendly band.

Personally, I don't mind the production at all. Sounds brutal, but that's just my opinion.

If I heard bleed right now, I would definitely shit my pants

Yeah, well I would bleed my pants!

I’m back . Maybe I will

My 100 steslth does . But Wizard Hell Razot blends perfectly with vh4 . @Omnipotent1 was blown away by the blend

5150 iii is a solid modern amp no doubt. Gets the job done. However the Wizard hell razor is a next level liquid rich utopia of distortion that I haven’t really experienced in another amp. If you’re ever blessed enough to own or play through one you’ll understand. Iykyk…
