Slayeris an American thrash metalband, founded in Huntington Park, California in 1981 by Tom Araya(bass guitar, vocals), Kerry King(guitars), Jeff Hanneman(guitars) and Dave Lombardo(drums). Lombardo had left the band to explore varied drumming styles, notably his work in Mike Patton's Fantmas. He was replaced by Paul Bostaph, but has now returned to the drum stool. Hanneman and King are the group's main songwriters. Slayer (along with Metallica, Anthrax, Megadethand others) are often credited with creating American thrash metal by speeding up the sound of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priestand Venom.

Divine Intervention Lyrics
Slayer
(music: hanneman/king, lyrics: araya/bostaph/hanneman/king)
Awaken
In a web like hell
How did I reach this place
Why are they haunting me
I cannot look at gods face
Paralyzing
Brilliant light
Trying to run
Want to scream but cannot speak
I cannot look at gods face
(lead: king)
Blind my eyes I cant see
What is being done to me
In my mind only pain
All the memories are drained
Victimized
Specimen
Deathless torture
Void with no mercy
Black shroud binds those who see
Violated
Naked before you I stand
Shattered shrine of flesh and bone
Gods piercing through my soul
(lead: king)
(lead: hanneman)
Segments of my life
Morbid pieces of reality
Twisted personality
Many faces yet faceless
Familiar things give way to strange
No mercy no reason but pain
Fatal
Subconscious control
Threshold of pain unfolds
Transfixed martyr saving race
Who am I to judge thy grace
Awaken
In a web like hell
How did I reach this place
Why are they haunting me
I cannot look at gods face
