Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer (November 1993, Future Disc).

With their second album, co-produced by Metal Blade's headbanging head honcho Brian Slagel, Satanic thrashers Slayer upped the ante from their debut in every way. More graphic album art, breakneck tempos, gruesome lyrics, and proper production gave the band a punchier sound while retaining their native aggression. Whereas their debut sounded like a band flirting with the dark side, HELL AWAITS is where the band begins to sound truly sinister and evil. Dave Lombardo's famous double bass drumming strongly came into play here, further propelling the lightspeed riffing and twisted solos of Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, who would help propagate a style of carpal tunnel-inducing axework for forthcoming generations of extreme metal bands. To accompany this metal maelstrom, bassist Tom Araya appropriately growled and barked out all manner of dark lyrics, exploring the mind of a serial killer ("Kill Again"), vampires (the slower, moodier "At Dawn They Sleep") and the demented lust of a "Necrophiliac." Wisely, the band knew when to mix up their tempos and keep things from sounding homogenized. HELL AWAITS is definitely one of the '80s high water marks for both black and thrash metal.

Recorded at Track Record, Los Angeles, California and Eldorado, Hollywood, California.

5 stars Prog Slayer?
Hell Awaits has some lengthy songs that really show off their metal talent. At Dawn They Sleep in one of my favorite Slayer tunes, along with the title track, Hell Awaits. This is a very solid album that shows a deal of progression from Show No Mercy.

I love this album. It is as twisted and fun as any other Slayer album. Reign in Blood, Show No Mercy and Seasons in the Abyss are probably better than this album but I recommend this to any fan of thrash metal. One of their best songs is on this album... At Dawn They Sleep.

5 stars HELL REALLY DOES AWAIT!
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SLAYER ALBUM. IT IS LONGER THAN OTHERS(NOT OVERALL, BUT IN SONG LENGTH) AND IS HEAVY ALL THE WAY THROUGH! IF YOU'RE A TRUE SLAYER FAN, YOU HAVE THIS ALBUM. IF YOU'RE A NEW SLAYER FAN, THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM TO START WITH. (IT PUTS ANYTHING CALLED "NEW-METAL," WHICH SHOULD ACTUALLY BE CALLED RAP-ROCK BECAUSE IT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO BE CALLED METAL TO SHAME AND SHOWS WHAT TRUE METAL IS ALL ABOUT.)
