Songs about Hell: Hell in popular music.

Hi halfoldman, here is an ecclectic mix...

Here To Stay is about Hell?

New one on me.....or is it just the imagery in the video cause even then, I still wonder where Hell comes into that.

Anyway.....the mighty James Hetfield as part of the South Park movie soundtrack:

Forgot about this, from the third album of The Devin Townsend Project (a metal album while the other three of the project had other styles).

The whole Deconstruction album is a concept album about a vegan who goes to Hell and is promised by the Devil that he'll tell him the secrets of life and the universe if he eats a cheeseburger. Here's one song from it:

Heavy Metal goes big band!

Pat Boone - Holy Diver.

How strange ...
This ain't the rocky road to hell, this is the smooth highway:

The Bastard Fairies from the US.

We're all going to hell.

And yes, it's true, there's somebody out there from a different position or interpretation who thinks: "You are going to hell".

Perhaps it's your religion that damns you, or because you ate the forbidden cheese, or your parents didn't mutilate your body enough: but oh, oh oh - we're all going to hell!

song starts at 1:04, and I really only like up to 2:43, the instrumental, but this song is about hell.

the chants at the beginning say join us backwards.

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

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 can not be saved

Crucify the so called Lord
He soon shall fall to me
Your souls are damned your God has fell
To slave for me eternally

Hell awaits...

The Reaper guards the darkened Gates
That Satan calls his home
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 whole
That Lucifer controls

Priests of Hades seek the sacred star
Satan sees the answer lies not far
Zombies screaming souls cry out to you
Satanic laws prevail your life is through

Pray to the moon when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
What you seek for can't be found
In sea or sky or underground

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

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 can not be saved

Sacrifice the lives of all I know they soon shall die
Their souls are damned to rot in Hell and keep the fire growing deep inside

Something sounds peculiar about your version of Slayer here.

With a vocalist like that I doubt Slayer would have made it big.
