Sepultura Flying high!
Max screams insane lyrics while Andreas destroys your neighbours brains with heavy guitars riffs. Arise is one of the greatest thrash metal records ever made. Igor is one of the greatest drummers of all time. In my opinion, Arise was the best album from Sepultura. If you like thrash metal you will love Arise. Try Chaos A. D, too.

brutal
A lot of true metal purists will frown on their later discs, but have a hard time finding any problem with this one. utterly classic, it retains the 3rd world metal vibe of their earlier discs but starts to show glimpses of their later more "progressive" sound.
Gone also are the horrendous recording of the guitars heard on earlier discs.
Anyone else wonder if they got the title from Amebix? They definetly show the influence in their later days!.


Forget Nirvana, THIS is the best of 1991
VERY good. Right at the dropping hour of grunge, this tasty sonic assault emerged, and it was good. Sepultura was about as heavy as it got back in 1991, other than the then laboring in (mostly) obscurity, fledgling death, black and grind scenes. . .

Heavy, brutal, raw, primal, aggressive, antisocial, tribal, throbbing and pounding. . . nothing else in 1991 sounded anything like this. And it's still extremely good today. Most death metal has easily surpassed this disc in terms of sheer brutality, but Sepultura ain't far behind. The throat on Max FAR eclipses most death grunters and croakers in brutal, as you could UNDERSTAND and FEAR him. That's how it's done RIGHT. Max had something intelligent and socially relevant to say (that didn't fully emerge until a bit later, on "Chaos A. D. ") and he ROARED it!

The drumming and rhythm work has always been what made Sepultura for me. . . very tribal, and they GROOVE like mad, even when thrashing like lunatics. Much more rhythmic and catchy than most death metal, and just as heavy.

HIGHLY recommended.


Excellent album from Sepultura.
Not only is this album more innovative and technically faster but it manages to even sound more devastating than BTR, you have songs that have more of an apocalyptic vision so it sounds abit like death metal this also proves itself as a worthy progression and yeah I'm not talking about the stuff they did with Dereck Green blah!. Arise is the fourth album by Sepultura and its their best its probably in my top ten favorite thrash albums of all time along with Rust In Peace and Seasons In The Abyss, after the release of the brilliant album Beneath The Remains Sepultura decided to release an album that would top the previous one and I think that they've succeeded. The album starts of with Arise and what a great start this is one of my favorites and then theres Dead Embryonic Cell the first single release which was brilliant and it has some nice chugging riffs courtesy of Andreas Kisser who is the lead guitarist and Max Cavalera's singing or growling and great guitar playing, then we have another excellent track Desperate Cry which is a thrash metal classic and is one of Selpertura's best songs ever. Another highlight is Altered State which has an intro which sounds like ancient Brazilian tribal music then the song starts thrashing along and becomes relentless and has a grinding detuned main riff and also combines some acoustic guitars. You also have other great straight forward thrash songs like Infected Voice and Under Siege and the amazing cover song Orgasmatron which was originally done by Motorhead and yet it sounds even better than the original, they definitely made it sound like their own which is great. Anyway these guys have quite possibly made one of the best thrash metal albums I've ever heard and there was not one single filler track in the entire album it thrashes from start to finish, I highly recommend this excellent album. .


Thrash Metal Heaven - A Perfect Album Start to Finish
This stuff destroys and lays to ruins all heavy metal acts on the planet. I think its fair to compare Arise to maybe Beneath the Remains or the awesome Chaos AD, but unfair to compare it too other thrash albums. That said, when I reach in my CD case for a sick thrash CD - I usually grab this one before Chaos or BTR. This one is just retarded from beginning to end. If you are reading this review. . run out jump in the car the drive 100 mph to the nearest record shop and PRAY they have it in stock. Absolutely mind boggling stuff.
