Drummer Dave Lombardo asserts the album was professionally done compared to their previous release, Show No Mercy: "I didn’t have to overdub the cymbals, and we had a really good engineer." Lombardo's favorite song is "At Dawn They Sleep": "because it was kind of slow and grungy, but then it had that double-bass part the middle." While recording the track, neither guitarists King or Jeff Hanneman who wrote the lyrics were in the studio — only Araya and Slagel. On reading the lyrics there was a word, which was written incorrectly; Araya sang it how it was spelled, although it's not a real word.
Bernie Grundman provided audio mastering, Eddy Schreyer worked on remastering and Bill Metoyer, who worked on the band's previous release, Haunting the Chapel, acted as sound engineer. Lyrical themes on Hell Awaits included darker themes than Show No Mercy, such as Hell and Satan - the intro to "Hell Awaits" is a backwards recording of a demonic-sounding voice repeating "Join us," ending with "Welcome back".Araya asserts the album had poor production quality "Nowadays, production-wise, it's so under par. But for what it was at the time, those are amazing records to me. I guess we could go in and redo it. But why ruin it?"
