The title track explores the juxtaposition between good and evil. "There's so much music out there about hell and the devil and the occult that I just thought it's about time somebody wrote one about the battle just between good and evil!" Biff Byford explained. "You can't sing about the devil without singing about the good guy either, and the song basically says 'make your choice'. We all have to make the choice, are we evil or are we good? The song's about that fight."
"Hell, Fire And Damnation" investigates and explores different areas of history and mystery. The title itself comes from something Byford's father used to exclaim when he was upset. "He used to say, 'Hell, fire, and damnation, what's tha' been doing now?!' when I was 'messing up his cabbage patch' or carving things into the kitchen table," he reminisced. "It was a very 'Yorkshire' saying back in the day."
