About this album
Lyrical themes on Hell Awaits are darker than on Show No Mercy, and included hell and Satan. Musically, the album features the band’s most progressive and diverse work compared to their previous releases. Defined as “influential to future extreme metal acts,” the most popular songs from Hell Awaits were re-recorded by various underground metal bands and have appeared on several tribute albums. Musicians such as singer Phil Anselmo and drummer Gene Hoglan cite Hell Awaits as an influence.

PS, nopuppet, you're wrong: it's produced by Brian Slagel and Slayer. Bill Metoyer was the engineer, alongside Ron Fair... wait, seriously, Ron fucking Fair? Alright, everyone who doesn't like the production (and that includes the Slayer guys), you have the perfect explanation: Ron Fair's fault! A guy whose entire CV is otherwise made up of the Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera, etc. has no business being hired to engineer a thrash metal album!

"What do you want? A well and perfect polished album?" Yes, I do. Shut the fuck up. I'll complain about the production as much as I want to.

WTF is wrong with you people? Stop whining about the production. What do you want? A well and perfect polished album? Exactly this awesome production (raw and primitive) is one of the factors which are making this album incredible and untouchable. Alongside Reign In Blood and Show no Mercy.

perfect album, perfect production (1985!!!). you can hear each note from all musicians. i guess your ears all full of yoghurt from all the inanimate compressed sounds being released these days. It was produced by Bill Metoyer, a legend, you nuts!
