The Misfits track "Green Hell" is a quintessential example of the band's shift towards faster, heavier music in their final period with Glenn Danzig, specifically appearing on the 1983 release Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood. Musically, "Green Hell" is a blistering, high-tempo hardcore punk song that showcases the band's increasing speed and aggression, foreshadowing the thrash and speed metal movements that were taking hold. It is short, clocking in at under two minutes, and is characterized by a relentless, driving pace with heavy guitar distortion and intense drumming by Robo. The track strips away some of the '50s rock and roll melodies of earlier Misfits songs, favoring a more brutal and immediate sonic assault. Danzig's vocals are a raw, shouted torrent, fitting the frantic energy of the music. Lyrically, the song is classic horror punk, with its title often linked to the 1940 film Green Hell or its 1957 sequel The Monster From Green Hell, continuing the band's tradition of drawing inspiration from B-horror and sci-fi cinema. The lyrics depict a vision of a nightmare place, a terrifying new kind of hell, with lines like "We're gonna burn in hell, green hell" and "You've come to this like no one could, I bet you never knew you would." The atmosphere is one of panic, entrapment, and a chaotic, inescapable doom, perfectly matching the track's frantic musical pace and reflecting the darker, more intense tone of the Earth A.D. album as a whole. This song, along with "Last Caress," later achieved broader fame when they were famously covered by the band Metallica.
