Slayer - Hell Awaits (1985) [Reissue] (1989)

 

 Hell Awaits is the second studio album by California Thrash Metal band Slayer. It started as a band in itself that created a religious conflict thanks to its anti-Christian, morbid and bloody looks and lyrics. It should be noted this theme of the band that would support it in this album even in the name and cover of it. Slayer always suffered this type of controversy against him and different attempts at censorship
