I think Hell Awaits is a terrible album personally. The title track is brilliant but the rest of the album sucks. Seasons In The Abyss was very strong I thought- they seemed to capture the intensity well on here without having to always be fast.

I think outside of Reign In Blood this is one of their best tracks:

Yeah! Fantastic fucking riffage in that song. Although I have to say I love that entire album from start to finish. I literally can't think of a single song from it that isn't great, though as far as maintaining the intensity without always having to be fast goes "Dead Skin Mask" is pretty hard to beat. This song has such a great dynamic to it:

Also, it's so bizarre what you come across on youtube, but here's "Dead Skin Mask" 50% faster and for some reason I find it both awesome and hysterically funny:

Really? For me Hell Awaits definitely has something. I also like Seasons a lot and I even like South of Heaven - that's more nostalgia as South of Heaven and ...And Justice for All were my two of my first thrash tapes. It was a fun summer ('88).
