Hell Symphony is the second full-length album by Czechblack metal bandRoot. It was originally released in 1991.
The album contains the first Root songs in the English language. On the band’s homepage, the style was described as heavy compared to the "monumentality ofThe Temple in the Underworld, mystery ofKärgeräs and the dark charm ofThe Book".[1]Rock Hard magazine featuredHell Symphony on its list250 Black-Metal-Alben, die man kennen sollte.[2]
"The Oath" and "Satan’s March" were included as bonus tracks in the 2001 re-release of the album along with live versions of "The Old Ones", "Message", "Leviathan" and "Píseň pro Satana".
