"Divine Hammer" is a song by American alternative rock band the Breeders, released as the second single from their second album, Last Splash (1993), in October 1993.
Lead vocalist Kim Deal said: "It's about existential angst, really.
Christian songs, they use all of these things... if you go around the mountain, and if you work hard with the hammer, and you meet a carpenter called Jesus Christ, and you travel miles and miles... all these stupid symbolisms that Christian folk groups will use.
is an alternate version of the LP version featuring J Mascis on backing vocals.
The music video for Divine Hammer was directed by Spike Jonze, Kim Gordon, and Richard Kern.
