Hellhound Records was a German record label during the late 80s and 90s, self-described as "The Heaviest Label On Earth". They became known for putting out doom metal, with artists such as Saint Vitus and The Obsessed. In the early 90s Hellhound signed a number of Maryland doom bands such as Internal Void, Iron Man, Revelation, Wretched and Unorthodox.

Some of the Hellhound releases were distributed in the US by Noise Records and Noise began pressing some of the later releases after Hellhound's demise. Noise released a compilation entitled "Pure Noise" which featured a number of Hellhound bands along with many Noise bands as well. Many Hellhound releases are being repressed by current labels, such as Southern Lord Records and Japan's Leaf Hound Records.
