Neighbourhell is the sixth album by Italian metal band Eldritch. It was released in 2006 and in the limited version contained the video clip for "Save me".
Vampster branded Neighbourhell as "melodic power thrash metal", with Eldritch having added a "thrash edge" since Portrait of the Abyss Within. At the same time, the vocals were versatile, and the bad showed "their more melancholic, sensitive side".[1] Powermetal.de found the album very varied, with Eldritch carving out a distinct niche and managing "to surpass the brilliant previous work". The songs were both complex and "highly accessible"; the lead guitarist in particular was "in top form" and played "some truly ingenious licks".[2] Rock Hard rated the album highly as well, 9 out of 10.[3]
Norwegian magazine Exact rated the album as mediocre, recommending the song "Bless Me Now" but finding the album lacking in songwriting, though the production was good.[4]
