Useful detail

Performance tip

Hell Is For Children benefits from a specific rehearsal focus: keep the first entrance behind the roughly 165.4 BPM beat rather than chasing it. That preparation will keep Hell Is For Children from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Hell Is For Children, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the romantic angle. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
