'''''Apocalyptic Raids''''' is an EP by the Swiss extreme metal band [[Hellhammer]]. It was recorded and released in March 1984, and was the band's only commercial release.
The release was a major influence on the then-emerging between death metal and black metal genres. It has served as a huge influence to such varied and respected bands such as [[Napalm Death]] and [[Sepultura]], both which recorded cover versions of "Messiah".<ref>{{cite web |author=Rivadavia, Eduardo |url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=leaders-not-followers-pt-2-mw0000302182|pure_url=yes}} |title= Leaders Not Followers, Pt. 2 > Overview |work=[http://www.allmusic.com allmusic.com]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Loftus, Johnny |url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=revolusongs-mw0000457874|pure_url=yes}} |title= Revolusongs > Overview |work=[http://www.allmusic.com allmusic.com]}}</ref>
Hellhammer would split up only three months after recording this EP, and later regrouped as [[Celtic Frost]].<ref>Fischer (2000), p. 80.</ref>
The title of the cover art is "The Sitting Death" by [[Tom G. Warrior]].
