"All Hell Breaks Loose" is a quintessential early Misfits track, appearing on their debut full-length album, Walk Among Us (1982). Musically, it embodies the classic horror-punk style: short, fast, and driven by a simple but incredibly catchy, surf-rock-inspired guitar riff. Lyrically, the song features Glenn Danzig's signature horror imagery, painting a vivid picture of gruesome chaos and violence—"Eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat / Veins a-shaking"—before culminating in the titular proclamation of total pandemonium. It's a key example of the band’s marriage of early punk energy with dark, cartoonish B-movie aesthetics.
