"Hell Bent for Letters" is the second full-length album by the Seattle, Washington-based literary-metal band Blöödhag. It is their first release for Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. It was produced and recorded by the band's guitarist, Dr. J.M. McNulty, under his less formal name of Jeff McNulty.

The album title is a pun on the Judas Priest album "Hell Bent for Leather". One reviewer described the album by suggesting, " [i] magine history class taught by GWAR, and it's still not quite enough to capture the essence of what Blöödhag bring to the table."Rob Theakston, [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:ha8gtq0zcu48 AllMusic.com review] of "Hell Bent for Letters", June 2006.]

As with their past back catalog, all of the songs on "Hell Bent for Letters" honor various science fiction and similar genre writers, including Douglas Adams, Edgar Allan Poe, and Franz Kafka.
