Previously only available on VHS and out of print for years, Live Intrusion captures Slayer at their heaviest on their Divine Intervention tour in 1995. Now, for the 1st time on DVD, fans can once again enjoy performances of classic Slayer cuts such as Raining Blood and Angel of Death as well as the super-rare cover of the Venom song Witching Hour performed by Slayer with assistance from Chris Kontos and Robb Flynn of Machine Head. Live Intrusion features the band doing what they do best thrashing out heavy metal at an absurdly fast pace while their adamant and passionate fans bang their heads. The glory of a live Slayer performance is all here; audience mayhem, head-banging, drums pounding and guitars wailing at extreme volumes.

There are a few live Slayer releases out there. Live Intrusion is special among these, however. Some of the images (some from insane fans) have passed into metal legend. This particular performance captures Slayer in a transitional period. The viewer gets a sense of the stripped-down punk-infused thrash goodness that made Slayer stand out in the first place. Coupled with that is the fact that in this point in their career this band had albums which were already classics in the world of heavy music. From the opening of Raining Blood and transition into Killing Fields, to the eerie dissonance of South of Heaven and mayhem of Hell Awaits, this live set is a defining moment in the history of American metal. Finally available on DVD, the release is everything the VHS was. The 4:3 aspect ratio has been preserved as it was filmed. The sound is great. The performance is full of energy and passion. This is Slayer. Five stars.

at the time this was the first look at slayer live in concert longform not a video.covering most of their career minus showw no mercy matterial,and dusting off a couple old favorites but using the main stays and show casing new stuff.best of all they show why they choose Paul bostoph to replace Dave Lombardo on drums Paul rule and conquers the kit like and old pro even thou he is in his 20′s verses Dave in his late 30′s early 40′s(an old pro) Paul play Dave parts masterfully and with great energy that dave had not shown in years at the time. the show is a fury of thrash and powerfuly delievered songs, a great show and shot very well with fairly little production special effects shots and camera tricks are minimal.

This dvd is excellent. The concert is from 1995 in Mesa, Arizona. “Divine Intervention” was released a year before this show, so you’ll hear some rare stuff from that album. You can feel the energy of the show just like you’re there. This is my favorite Slayer dvd.

This awesome dvd was filmed in 95. Divine Intervention was just released prior to Live Intrusion. So you get some rare gems like “213″, “Dittohead”, “Killing Fields” and “Sex, Murder, Art”. Other excellent choice cuts are “At Dawn They Sleep” and “Hell Awaits”. Dvd running time is about 70 minutes. You’ll see a Slayer fan get a tattoo. My only complaint is that this isn’t in Widescreen. This dvd chits all over “War at the Warfield”.
