Divine Intervention is the sixth studio album by American thrash metal band, Slayer. Divine Intervention was released on September 27, 1994 through American Recordings. Many of the song were inspired by television shows. The songs were also inspired by other things, like Rush Limbaugh, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and vocalist Tom Araya's wife. Araya said that the album "came out of the past four years of hating life."

The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA.

It is the first album to feature drummer Paul Bostaph, who replaced Slayer's original drummer Dave Lombardo.
