Hell Comes to Your House is an American deathrock and punk compilation of Southern California bands. It is notable for releasing the first ever Christian Death song "Dogs", as well as including the first studio recordings of Social Distortion and one of the earliest performances of Redd Kross.
The album was originally released in 1981 but reissued in 1998.
Engineer Randy Burns went on to produce other punk, thrash and death metal bands including Suicidal Tendencies, Death, Possessed, the Fontanelles, and Megadeth.
The album credits the producer of "Dogs" as Mike Patton. This is not the Ipecac Recordings label head/Faith No More singer, Mike Patton. This Mike Patton was in the band Middle Class and he also produced The Blue Album by the influential Orange County band, Adolescents as well as the Danger Zone EP by China White. He was also the bass player with T.S.O.L.'s Jack Grisham's post TSOL Goth/Dance band, Cathedral of Tears and Trotsky Icepick.
A UK version of Hell Comes to Your House was released by the label Riot State Records in 1982. This version omits Redd Kross's contribution. "Puss 'n' Boots" was replaced by Outer Circle's "Blind Venetians."
