Hell Awaits is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on April 8, 1985, by Metal Blade Records. The band's 1983 debut Show No Mercy became Metal Blade Records' highest-selling release, and as a result, producer Brian Slagel desired to release a second Slayer album. To that end, Slagel financed a recording budget (Show No Mercy was paid for by band members) and recruited several experienced producers to help in the studio.

The lyrical themes on Hell Awaits include hell and Satan, as with their debut; the intro of the title track played backwards reveals the repeated phrase "join us".[3] Musically, the album features the band's most progressive and diverse work compared to their previous releases, and according to Kerry King, he and Jeff Hanneman were very into Mercyful Fate at the time, which then led to the longer and more progressive songs.[4] 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.[5]

Recording
Slayer's previous album, Show No Mercy, became Metal Blade Records' highest selling release, selling 40,000 copies worldwide; the success led producer Brian Slagel to want to record another album with them.[6] Slagel hired producer Ron Fair, who worked for Chrysalis Records, and had seen the band perform live and enjoyed their performance. On seeing Slayer in the studio, Fair stated, "Wow, these guys are really angry," as he was inexperienced working with heavy metal musicians.[7] Slagel financed the album, in stark contrast to Show No Mercy, which was financed by singer Tom Araya, who used his earnings as a respiratory therapist, and a loan from guitarist Kerry King's father.[7]

The budget organized by Slagel allowed for professional assistance. Bernie Grundman provided audio mastering, Eddy Schreyer worked on remastering, and Bill Metoyer, who worked on the band's earlier release Haunting the Chapel, acted as sound engineer.[8]

Welcome back

[Instrumental Break 1:04 - 3:20]

[Verse 1]
Existing on damnation's edge, the priest had never known
To witness such a violent show of power overthrown
Angels fighting aimlessly still dying by the sword
Our legions killing all in sight to get the one called Lord

[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved

[Post-Chorus]
Crucify your so-called Lord, he soon shall fall to me
Your souls are damned
Your God has fell to slave for me eternally
Hell awaits

[Verse 2]
The reaper guards the darkened gates that Satan calls his home
The demons feed the furnace where the dead are free to roam
Lonely children of the night, there's seven ways to go
Each leading to the burning hole that Lucifer controls

[Chorus]
Priests of Hades seek the sacred star
Satan sees the answer lies not far
Zombies, screaming souls, cry out to you
Satanic law prevails, your life is through

[Bridge]
Pray to the moon when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
For what you seek for can't be found
In sea or sky or underground
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]
Now I have you deep inside my everlasting grasp
The seven bloody gates of Hell is where you'll live your last
Warriors from Hell's domain will bring you to your death
The flames of Hades burning strong, your soul shall never rest

[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved

[Post-Chorus]
Sacrifice the lives of all, I know they soon shall die
Their souls are damned to rot in Hell
And keep the fires growing deep inside
Hell awaits

[Instrumental Outro]
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
