ALBUM NOTES
Progressing as musicians and songwriters, and plunging deeper into themes of evil, the band’s sophomore album took a significant jump toward finding the sound that Slayer would soon perfect. Raw, haunting, and hugely influential, Hell Awaits was the band’s final independent release through Metal Blade, providing a snapshot of young thrashers, poised to take over the world.
