[@captainchaos8701]

that album was so brutal when it cam out. One of the most underrated metal albums. Killing field is a bad ass opener.

....me listening to the into to killing fields 10 times in a row while drinking.

[@Undaglibenglaubengloben]

[@motleydude73]

First outing for Paul Bostaph so a great way to introduce him.

[@Zebedeez_Nuts]

I know. The drums kick

[@olvbenson]

yes yes and damn yes

[@hydroguy6927]

I will never forget my 13th Birthday. It was a chilly Sept as I was rolling through the killer HMV Heavy Metal section with my Grandfather in downtown Toronto at the time and I saw this record on display. This album was released that week also, so I asked the employee to throw on Divine Intervention so I could hear just what this BAD ASS album cover sounded like, Slayer? Who? What? By the time Killing Fields was over I pulled off the headphones and I looked at my Gramps who instantly purchased this album for me as I became a Slayer fan right then and there... forever... Still sits as my fav Metal album of all time to this day honestly. Thanks to my Grandpa for purchasing it for me, that record projected and opened the entire world of Heavy Metal for me. Metallica couldnt even do that, not the way Slayer could lol. I miss my Grandfather everyday and Slayer as well. GREAT video! 🤘💪

[@randynelson9961]

One of Slayers coolest album cover artwork! Jeff’s solos on that album are on point! 🤘

[@JGC1]

Jeff solos on this album are all the same. That's is the only thing not perfect on the set.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

I like this feature of your channel best! It brings back great memories and it's pretty inspirational to go back and relearn the stuff too. As you were playing I was thinking that you might be thinking, (like I would be thinking,) about incorporating the style into my own compositions. Which is really why I started learning other's songs anyway. ❤ Great one Ola, the channel is still as fresh and fun as ever.

[@BalashToth]

What a cool song choice. Divine Intervention is my favorite Slayer album too🤘

[@rikosimmo]

Divine Intervention is their darkest most aggressive and progressive record. Easily.

[@Howard_the_Duck]

You just described hell awaits

[@AdamFisher]

Those are my two favourite slayer records. Closely followed by Haunting the Chapel and South of Heaven.

[@embracerodusk2537]

@@Howard_the_Duck The only thing that held Hell Awaits back was the crap production. If it had the sound of RIB or any album after that it would have been crushing.

[@adriansmith76]

i get what you're saying but where does that leave God Hates Us All..!😅 My favourite.🤟

[@Howard_the_Duck]

@@embracerodusk2537 I think the production suits the atmosphere of the album well. I dont think it would sound as good with a rick rubin production

[@thombrannan2589]

DIVINE INTERVENTION and PRIDE & GLORY were the first music purchases I made with my own money when I was fresh out of boot camp. Great times, great albums, and man, you absolutely DEMOLISHED it!

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

I remember learning this with Killing Fields & especially 213, when it was released; I was 30 😊 I think this was the best record of 94. The drums on Fictional Reality are great too! #ScavengersClosingIn

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I would have leaned it in '64 because I just got a Maestro Fuzz tone and could finally get a Metal sound thru my National amp, 😇

[@Earth-Worm-Tim]

As I mentioned in my comment above I was a bit younger but Killing Fields, 213, and Fictional Reality are the albums top 3 for sure. I had to edit this comment to add Divine Intervention as well. So I suppose this album cannot be reduced to only 3 best songs for me lol.

[@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623]

Killing Fields is awesome because of the 5/5 beat. I remember slapping some music professor with it who claimed that all rock was in 4/4.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

@@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623 Ha! That's awesome.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

When the Dahmer craze started last year with the TV shows, I kept thinking Slayer's management should have been more plugged in, because as I'm sure you know, 213 was his apartment number.

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

One of my favorite Slayer albums. Dittohead is pure awesomeness.

[@ar156]

I love this album, always have! Great performance by Bostaph too

[@nigeltufneljunior]

Yes defiitely an underrated Slayer album! Very consistent, and the guitar solos are even better then usually, they sound less like a random set of notes :-)

[@Decimation13]

Bostaph > Lombardo

[@AJoylessEon]

Bostaph slays on this album.. i like lombardo but this was another level.

[@willrichtor]

This and Testament's Formation of Damnation are my 2 favourite Bostaph recordings.

[@mymanjoker]

"213" alone is haunting

[@TheHeadown]

Love this album too, and I agree, it´s very underrated!

[@HADESxBEATS]

that guitar is wicked.

[@nicolasbeaudry6158]

And wicked it is , imagine flat black or crazy urban camo flat for Jeff tribute 👍🏻🤘🏻💯

[@mattjns]

Gary Holt’s personal pickups. He literally sold em to Ola! 🤘🏼

[@JoseGarcia-eadgbe]

I love that guitar too 🤩

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

Fun too, when you have to somehow tune it in the middle of a 3 minute 37 second song.

[@sirtogii5216]

Great one! Just imagine having the skill and talent to just break down a tune like that in an hour or so. Amazing

[@BobcatMcBobbins]

Agreed. Ola breaks it down so well and so easily-and makes it fun. It would take me years to learn all these techniques. Amazing work. Another spectacular Ola production! 🤘🏾😈🎸🎶🎵❤️‍🔥

[@AncientNecropsy]

Hi, ola. Divine Intervention is my favorite album too! :) My favorite riffs are Serenity in Murder.

[@shaunsterrett7455]

Favorite Slayer song, favorite Slayer album. Great choice!

[@lidiaspazzard]

I love Sex, Murder, Art. That's a nasty piece of work.

[@mextrem7933]

Yes!!!! These really are my favorite videos on the channel! I remember you saying you would probably do more of these some time ago on discord vc, and you did!! Keep up the great work Ola, I love the title track from this album.

[@Luciusvictor]

I love this BC Rich Warlock guitar!!! Ola you should make more videos with that awesome guitar!

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

Yeah, Divine Intervention was the first Slayer album that got me out of flannel and into Thrash. For some reason folks love to hate on it and the Undisputed Attitude. They're both killer albums.

[@silverjaw138]

💯 And undisputed attitude is pure brutality

[@mattlebel]

Where I’m from, flannels belonged to the thrashers before they became a Nirvana thing. Another reason that whole era pissed me off.

[@Artec619]

@@mattlebel how are people still holding a grudge against grunge 30 years later?

​@@mattlebelthey didn't in LA or the Bay area. Sorry poser

[@mattlebel]

@@jackbootshamangaming4541 poser? Seriously dude. How can it be poser-ish if we were doing it a full decade before grunge existed? Also I’m from Boston. It’s cold there. You needed to wear something between your tshirt and your leather jacket, thus, flannel. Cliff Burton wore flannels. Guess he was a poser too? Countless photos of thrash bands wearing flannels in the 80s.

[@metal-ant]

Love Divine Intervention, so many classic songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@doc25000]

Fictional Reality is a killer tune! First time seeing Slayer was this tour in early 95' at Hara Arena in Dayton, OH, Biohazard, Machinehead were on the bill as well.....Good shit Ola!

[@shankdenchman7970]

I love biohazard!!!!

[@UncleRJ]

Next, please do "Ola Learns Cannibal Corpse" and do Condemnation Contagion. It's a good song to practice your power chording hand.

[@vetsapuu]

How about Frantic disembowelment, we'd get to see Ola losing his mind.

[@LilSmokey.00]

Frantic disembowlment is an insane track.

[@Emann-yc7cv]

Ola, you are the man! I love that you picked such a deep cut!

[@brandonjackson5865]

Cool to see in the comments I’m not the only one that this is their favorite Slayer album. When I heard Serenity in Murder and 213 I was hooked. I think their more groove mid tempo stuff is incredible. Devine, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss !

[@rikosimmo]

My 3 favourites 🎯

[@alcole1k178]

Excellent choice! I love this album, underrated for sure.

[@roachzero2952]

Good shit , Mr. Ola the Swede !!! Reign in Blood album was my intro to Slayer but i'm actually glad you chose to go outside the box . Great song selection too !

[@Howard_the_Duck]

I love the channel guidelines for posting. Nothing says metal like being civil and respectful.

[@robertoricci3393]

Bostaph drumming on this record is killer. Killing fields blew me away when I started to play drums. Also Diabolus and God hates us all have amazing drum parts.

[@KamKam8383]

Awesome Album. 213 is my absolute favourite.

[@randinho8872]

When you're learning the spider riff it reminds me so much of myself, even the look away as you try and force your brain to push through and remember the exact way it's meant to be played

[@silverjaw138]

This album came out in the height of grunge and alternative. This album carried the faithful

[@abowla7187]

This is why I love Slayer and will die on the hill of them being the best of the "big 4". You just gave me flashbacks of the stages of grief of learning their songs hahahahahahahahahha

[@onemanaftermath771]

Great segment OLA! A nice change and its very interactive for us all...more!!!

[@AJoylessEon]

Divine got me into slayer too.. i bought it on cassette when i was 13 or 14 and was instantly hooked.. my favourite slayer album still to this day.

[@primaballerina84]

Divine Intervention! First time I heard Slayer as well! THE CHOICE IS MADE OF FREE WILL JUST LIKE THE CHOICE TO KILL!!! Amazing Almunge when hitting the gym 💪🏻

Not waste of time for sure. Us mortals are wery happy to see you pro players also strugle 😀. Tack så mycket Ola! You rock.

[@cliffmcmeken2815]

Thank You! I have loved Slayer since Hell Awaits, therefore I know very few songs 😢. It was so difficult picking up the needle, counting the groves to go back and learn songs, I learned very few. Thank you for the trick to learning these crazy spider riffs. Keep doing what your doing you’re very inspiring even to us old guys lol🤘

God I love this guitar!!! Glad you're making more videos with it! 🤘

[@carvinieri5217]

Divine Intervention - killer album

[@captain_green278]

I like this videos, where Ola learns something, so we can see, that he can struggle too and it’s not polished and perfect like many other KZbinrs, gives more natural and human feeling of Ola. Plus it’s always a way to see and trying something new for myself

[@shyllahplays5072]

Brought this with money I got for Xmas when I was 12. The 1st slayer album i brought I'm 41 now and l still thrash it from start to finish. Heavy thrash metal at its best. 213 really gets my head banging. Nice work ola

[@kent6619]

Dude. This was such a fun video! I laughed several times. A very relatable video. A true archive of the human metalhead guitarist to be put in a time capsule. I've written more as I've gotten older, but how did I ever lose my way and stop cranking the stereo and amp and just stand there and play along with a killer song? Thanks man!

[@jasonverg8005]

DDDUUUUDDEEE I am so pumped you chose this, love that riff

[@sm-oh8ef]

Love when you do this stuff!! Happy vibes to you and your family Ola

[@StealthMockingbird]

Man I wish I could've slowed down riffs in the 80s/90s. Had to learn Slayer off the records. FYI: Kerry downpicks pretty much everything so he's likely downpicking that opening/main riff.

[@mattlebel]

Yeah my 13 year old self is so jealous of this tech that makes learning songs so much easier. It was a nightmare having to rewind fucking cassettes over and over. I was really happy when I finally got a CD player and it had an option to loop a section and also delay starting a song after hitting play. Those were game changers at the time.

[@thiagocruz8]

[@Giancarlo81]

Thanks again for another awesome and fun video! Yes! I’m sure I can speak for many of us in saying, we definitely enjoy watching these videos. Where you openly and honestly attempt to learn songs in a very human fashion. It is not only motivating, but it is also very cool to see you step into other player’s shoes. In my personal opinion, the more challenging and different the song is, from what you’re used to, the more entertaining and motivational your video will be. My recommendation for you is Periphery’s Scarlet. Being born in the 80s, all the music since has become part of my natural movement and bag. But, as I attempted Mark Holcomb’s style of riffing (prevalently displayed in Scarlet) I saw that there was a new approach to the guitar that I have not explored prior. I hope you take the time to try that track. Regardless, I’ll be here supporting you for as long as you are making content. Health and happiness to you and you family mate!

[@MLDurant]

Love ittttt! The best is when I smile, you smile. 🤘 keep em’ coming!

Much respect to you Ola, Divine intervention was an important album that got me into slayer too along with seasons in the abyss those two in my opinion was slayer at their peak!

[@BLOOBADGA69]

Great video, I've often wondered how people learn tracks so perfectly when they need to learn a bands setlist..ie Gary Holt for Slayer, Per Nillson for Meshuggah, all the different Megadeth guitarists etc...Great track as well :)

Yeah, I got the album when it came out. The way Killing Fields starts, you just want to play it over and over. Great album! Great song choice and great video! Cradle of Filth "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids". There's a lot of great parts, and yes it's a long song, but that main riff is just killer! Due to biologics (chemo-type) meds I'm on... the side effects are worse than the benefits. I don't even have the strength to push down on a string, let alone hold my guitar. One day I'll be starting over from scratch, but at least I'll be able to start over. 🤞 Never got to learn this song, but I've always wanted to. I CAN however, live vicariously through you.

[@SAPlaysMetal]

Man this album needs more attention. Some killer songs in it. Fictional reality is probably the best track \,,/
