1. An influential underground metal unit from Derbyshire, England, occult rockers Hell formed in the early '80s, but it would be nearly 30 years before they would release their debut album. Founded in 1982 by members of the recently disbanded British metal groups Race Against Time and Paralex, Hell's horror-themed stage show and steely NWOBHM sound drew comparisons to contemporaries like Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Saxon, and Judas Priest -- they were one of the first bands to utilize the devilish corpse paint that would come to define the black metal scene in later years. The group went largely ignored by labels and journalists, but they achieved cult status via word of mouth and underground tape trading. The band eventually inked a deal with the aptly named Belgian label Mausoleum Records, but two weeks prior to heading into the studio to record their debut, the label went bankrupt, which led to the band splitting up, and ultimately to the tragic 1987 suicide of vocalist/guitarist and co-founder Dave Halliday. One of the group's biggest supporters at the time was then-aspiring guitarist Andy Sneap, who would go on to co-found thrash metal legends Sabbat and eventually become a Grammy-winning producer. In 2008, the original members of Hell (Tony Speakman [bass], Kev Bower [guitar/keys], and Tim Bowler [drums]) contacted Sneap about re-recording the group's old material in conjunction with the upcoming release of the original demos. Sneap agreed and soon served as both the producer and guitar player for the band, with David Bower (a notable television and stage actor, as well as the brother of guitarist Kev Bower) taking over vocal duties. The resulting Human Remains arrived via Nuclear Blast in 2011, followed by a run of high-profile festival shows. Hell released their sophomore studio album, Curse and Chapter, in 2013. The band returned in 2018 with an eponymous third long player, which was released via Sentient Ruin Laboratories. ~ James Christopher Monger
2. An American sludge/drone doom solo project, formed in 2008 by M.S.W., a multi-instrumentalist from Salem, Oregon. Hell began as a creative outlet for M.S.W., but it eventually gained momentum and grew to include a touring band. According to M.S.W., the project disregards typical religious themes and instead focuses on the concept of a "personal Hell".
3. DJ Hell (or simply Hell) has balanced Detroit minimalism and Chicago acid-house as well as more spacious German trance and hardcore. Beginning his mixing career while still a teenager, Hell moved through punk and new wave to electro, house and hip-hop by the mid-'80s. His DJing gradually led to the start of his production career, and one of his first singles "My Definition of House Music" became a large club hit when reissued by Belgium's R&S Records in 1992. He moved to Berlin to work with Hardwax Records during 1993-94, and also spent time in New York before moving back to his native Munich. Besides releasing his album debut Geteert und Gefedert on Disko B in 1994, DJ Hell recorded a volume in the Studio !K7 mix series X-Mix. His second full-length, Munich Machine, also appeared on Disko B -- though credited simply to Hell. Besides continuing to DJ around the world, he also ran the International Deejay Gigolos label, which released tracks by Jeff Mills, Christopher Just and David Carretta, among others.
In 2003 Hell (real name: Helmut Geier) released another album titled "NY Muscle" recorded almost completely in New York. On this release he worked together with artists like Erlend Oye, Alan Vega, James Murphy, Billie Ray Martin and several others.
4. A heavy metal band from Adelaide,Australia who had a song 'Hand Is Quicker' on the Dominator Records compilation album in the late 1980's.
5. A black metal band from Luxembourg.
6. A hungarian black metal band also used the name Hell. They released a demo and a Split with Vorkuta, later changed their name to Wound.
7. Niklas Hellberg, known as Hell, was a member of Peace, Love & Pitbulls, All That Jazz and are currently in the band Sällskapet
8. A German thrash metal band who did the "Satanic Death" demo in 1985. It is rumoured that some Destruction members were involved in this band

Aight
Yo Priest what's up with that track man?
Let me represent that shit for dolo man, fuck that
Yo fuck that man, word is bond
I'm reckin on this mike man, fuck that kid
What up
I'mma transport inside the mind that ya got
And I'mma transport to a braisol and drop to begin
To spread ya Aloe head gel
Every tape has an inmate and blow up ya brain cells
All ya reactions is trapped in my time warp
And smoke 'em, ya get leg broken
Home, choken by roast a deli slogans
To once, quick to get guns I blow ya open
I'm from the L's of the Murderville
Where we possess to kill, and strangle the demons, 'cause schemin on skills
My styles is disguised, nigga ply ya naked eye
I twist minds, insert through ya disc drives
To reprogram ya dead computer, they ain't no future
When ya beein in a killin zone cross shooter
Hype is not for winners it's for sinners that are losers
Guess I spell profanity, on all mics that'll handle me
Then I brain damage, leave ya deaf, dumb and stranded
Abandon all ya missed, understand it understands
See it's hectic, for niggas that quenchin
So they get wetted, with techs in their hands, hoes in they head
Ran on my land, ya kind digest raw stress
When all ya thoughts up gots to pay tape, I'm x rated
And love to kick that I made it
Religion is racism, and I ate this rhythm
Oh shit, time to execute that new maneuver
'Cause I feel this shit will be very unexpected
My mind a worse, weapon, murderin all cyphers and sessions
I love my moms, 'cause havin her gone was a blessin
And they know until I stop, not be ready to I fuck it
Chop ya head, style, I'm the ripper
The mentally ill individual, growin up,
thinkin like, hangin with criminals
I'm on a Ram-Page and plus I'm lyrical, miracles
We make niggas dig up they graves, like the Aztecs with AIDS
All hell pays when ya livin in my Horror Days, in my Horror Days
Verbally surprising, mind magnetizin
Niggas is hypnotized from the rhymes I'm vocalizin
Paragraphs, thoughts, thoughts from distorture
I dare, from L's, to when they dwell to my ears fell out
I get buddha black when I reless the stress
Thoughts that I address, niggas can't contest
Ya get rained on, this random in the flap with the brainstorm
Create that new shit while ya still singin the same songs
Get it straight, I paralize ya mind state with hate
Intense pain, ya brain get maintained to wait superparalysis
Allowing these brain cells with cow asarbavation
Of a situation that makes an analysis
Conclusion, bust might cause confusion cause of the words
How you like substitution, conclusion, have ya brain get brutalized
Sabotage ya mental, my rhymes ya can't manage
Those that battle, I got that aight no with brain damage
Niggas step I guess suicidal intentions
Get throwed out the rain like a dame women extensions
I leave ya with ya mind in potention
That rhymes that I mention,
Will blast you through a whole nother dimension
Your pores, tossed in the land of the lost
I keep it real, when it feels no remorse, those that cross
My path, will get blasted to the beginning
The bottom of the barrel, no tears to admit 'cause ya
thoughts is crazy narrow
Nah, amplifly the death blow front
If you wan't the chance to die, rap fanatic
A slave to the rhythm like an adict
Man slaughter, my solid flow is sorta automatic
When I lift up the spliff and I rip up a rhyme
For the fool who want to flip, I gotta rip on the night
When whenever, I'm clever with the style that I shoot with
Full of funk, electryifing like ya execution
To give to the top, a rock, a droppet
I'm wicked outta here like I'm Mustafa forgot dat
The lyrics to "Hell's song Mental" are a raw and intense representation of the violent and aggressive nature of the rap genre. Priest and Yo are communicating their desire to dominate the rap game by exerting their control over the mic and their ability to manipulate their listeners' minds. They use language that is meant to shock and intimidate, referencing weapons, murder, and mayhem. They aim to transport their listeners into their minds and warp their perceptions with their rhymes and explosive energy.
Priest and Yo's lyrics are saturated with slang and references to street life, painting a vivid picture of their upbringing in the "L's of the Murderville." They express their disdain for authority and religion, dismissing them as forms of racism and oppression. Their words are forceful and blunt, meant to cut through societal conventions and break down barriers.
