the devil is in the details or in this
case the music welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down the top 10
health aunts these songs are filled with
hell fire brimstone demons and darkness
for this list we’re looking at the songs
that examine hell as a physical location
leaving out Tunes that use hell as a
metaphor such as sum 41’s the hell song
we will also be excluding instrumental
tracks like Megadeth’s into the lungs of
hell as much as we think they represent
what hell sounds like
number ten hell Rider Judas Priest
this is one group that knows how to use
chilling instrumentals powerful vocals
and lyrical imagery to their best
advantage this 2005 song of the Bands
fifteenth studio album angel of
retribution paints a picture of a hell
rider burning up the road as he prepares
for battle
a heavy-metal gem from a band that has
been tearing it up since 1969 hella
rider has everything you would want from
a song about Hell blistering guitar
solos heavy drums and some vocals that
sound like they could have come from the
devil himself
number nine bats out of hell
meatloaf defiles ahead and we’re down in
the valley tonight while not the single
this artist is best known for bat out of
hell had to lock in a spot on our list
the building piano chords leading into
lyrics about the misery surrounding the
singer as he fights against a damnation
to hold on to love perfectly setting the
tone for this hard
he flees to escape the hell around him
only to become victim of a motorcycle
crash that ends his life
walking in at nearly ten minutes in
length bat out of hell is considered one
of the greatest driving songs ever
and one hellish good time
number eight sympathy for the devil The
Rolling Stones
a history lesson a confession and a
taunt all rolled into one
the stones caused some controversy with
this hit in which the lyrics take the
perspective of the devil describing his
influence and presence throughout
historic tragedy
Lucifer goes on to request politeness
and courtesy from the listener showing
that there is a little evil in every
good thing and that it is all just part
of his game
heavily associated with the Vietnam War
and hippie culture in the late 60s
sympathy for the devil is a timeless
classic that will go down as one of the
essential songs in the Rolling Stones as
massive catalog
number seven Hellraiser
Ozzy Osbourne
it probably comes as no surprise that
the Prince of Darkness would make this
list
Ozzy sings out about the dark path of
rock’n’roll and the toll it has taken on
him even as it propels him forward
describing that despite his body and
mine telling him to stop he just cannot
walk away and wants to draw each
audience under his spell because it
lights his fire and fuels him onward
with writing credits from Lemmy
Kilmister his band Motorhead also
released a cover of the song a year
later which is badass in its own right
number six the number of the beast Iron
Maiden and eating times
coincidence that the number of the beast
is at number six on our countdown we
think not
spawned from the fires of hell the Beast
draws the singer closer so that Satan
can work his evil magic
the song ends with a chilling line while
sparking controversy from various
religious groups accusing the man of
being a satanic group
what else do you expect from a heavy
metal group with a mascot named Eddie
the head
number five welcome to hell venom
the doors are open will you enter Benham
makes it clear that once you have been
welcomed there is no escape no mercy and
the only thing that is certain is death
you
welcome to hell was featured on the
group’s first studio album and even
though it was not released as a single
the song is still undeniably awesome and
is considered one of the earliest
examples of black metal
with dark imagery and guitars I will
undoubtedly have your head banging
welcome to hell is a crucial part of
heavy metal history and one hell of a
hell saw
number four hell awaits slayer
this rash metal tune quickly sets up
powerful imagery of the inevitability of
escaping the clutches of Satan and the
pull of Health
Slayer constructs a hopeless and
visceral concept complete with
references to angels being defeated and
unsavable soul the burning underworld
and the grim reaper
the dark lyrics also paint a picture of
a faith sealed in hell with no hope of
rest or redemption for a soul burning in
the fires of hell
number three heaven and hell
Black Sabbath a song that is a lesson in
lyrical contrast this Beach portrays the
dangers of refusing to seek out answers
and just accepting what one is told lack
sabbath points out the flaws of giving
in to the illusions the world constructs
as the title song of their heaven and
hell’ album the single failed to find
any success commercially
despite being frontman Ronnie James Dio
s favorite song of his career
however the album reached platinum in
the United States and the song proved to
be a heavy-metal favorite
Oh
number two Cowboys from Hell Pantera
these are one set of Cowboys out to rope
more than cattle they plan to lasso some
Souls as well
with lyrics that bring to mind a
showdown of evil proportions and no way
out this song brings hell to the wild
wild west
the title track from Pantera’s
critically acclaimed 1990 album warned
that darkness was coming and when it
arrived the only option that would
remain is to give in to the doom and let
them drag you back to hell before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
Oh
I see Barry now
they are
number one highway to hell
ac/dc grab your ticket for a one-way
ride this hell song is probably one of
the most widely known rock songs of all
time with an almost instantly
recognizable guitar rim
ACDC jams out and makes the song an
anthem of heading down the road on a
path to hell with no stop signs or speed
limit if fans hadn’t gotten enough of
the hellish names with this classic
ac/dc would release the masterpiece that
is hells bells only a year later
move over Satan there’s a new ruler of
hell and their name is ac/dc
