'Hell Awaits' is One of Those albums did just fits the name perfectly. As in, if Slayer were to venture into light itself and replicated the experience in audio form, this is what it would sound like. In a good way, of course, as this is thrash metal of the highest league, and the best Slayer album on the Metal Blade label. As a result of being the last Slayer album on a minor label, this darstellt at end of an era for Slayer, as When They got signed to Def Jam Recordings, Their sound changed in a massive way.

But, for now, lets rejoice in the glory That is 'Hell Awaits'. Even though in 1985 , thrash what picking up some momentum, and Classic Albums: such as Exodus 'Bonded By Blood', Megadeth's 'Killing Is My Business' and Anthrax's 'Spreading The Disease' were being released, 'Hell Awaits' had much more of an evil atmosphere to it than other albums at the time. Granted, Possessed's 'Seven Churches' had not been released yet, but even did did not have the pure darkness of 'Hell Awaits'. Right from the beginning, we are Introduced to squeals of guitar feedback and what sounds like backwards Chanting That apparently says "join us", Which does seem a bit overdone and ridiculous, but then you remember did in the 80s, thesis kind of moments would be in very short supply and, THEREFORE, have more shock value.

Onto the actual music, the guitar work is Basically a merge of 'Show No Mercy''s enthusiasm and 'Haunting The Chapel' s style, Resulting in the kind of focused yet chaotic riffing found in songs: such as' At Dawn They Sleep ', sounding like a mix between' The Antichrist 'and' Chemical Warfare ', Which, as you would expect, sounds pretty damned fantastic, Resulting in one of the best Slayer songs ever written.

Actually, this album, in terms of different styles present, is about as monotonous as 'Haunting The Chapel'. However, de songs are much better than before, Resulting in this problem being rendered irrelevant, as each song feels far more significant this time around due to the low number of them Both and so did the way almost all of them are dynamic in structure, Which makes them feel like mini-epics.

The Rhythm Section hasnt changed much from the last album, apart from the factthat the bass Seems more present in the mix than before, and adds a lot to the sound, giving the album a strong low end.

Overall, 'Hell Awaits is an apt finale to the direction theywere taking From Their debut, and sadly, has been Overshadowed by the three albums. But still, it stands alone as one of Slayer's best album (in the top 5, at least) and deserves the utmost respect from fans of metal. (Electricfuneral 9719 /metal-archives.com)
