Hell Awaits, originally released in April 1985 through Metal Blade, is Slayer's second studio album. The songs grew longer and more complex than on debut Show No Mercy, with reversed voices in the intro of the title track and lyrics digging deeper into hell and the occult. 'At Dawn They Sleep' and 'Necrophiliac' became fixtures in the live sets, and the album laid the groundwork for Reign in Blood a year later.

This edition is an LP on transparent orange and red splatter vinyl.
