Hell Awaits. This album is epic, from the opening self titled track to At Dawn They Sleep, Praise of Death, Necrophiliac, and Crypts of Eternity this album is a masterpiece. Some of my favorite live Slayer moments would be Crypts of Eternity and At Dawn They Sleep filmed at Eindhoven in 85 and then Praise of Death and Necrophiliac at the Ritz show in 86. It is really hard for me to list a favorite Slayer album out of the first four albums as they each have different aspects which make me love them all but Hell Awaits and its songs are just epic, got to love at the end of Necrophiliac when Tom sings "Lucifer takes my dark soul, down, to the fiery pits of Hell, down, to the fiery pits of HELL!!!"
