Sepultura – Arise

Released in 1991, Arise is Sepultura’s fourth studio album and a cornerstone of early 90s extreme metal.

Recorded in Florida with producer Scott Burns, the album marks the Brazilian band’s evolution from traditional thrash metal into a more aggressive sound that blends death metal, industrial elements, and experimentation. Tracks like "Arise," "Dead Embryonic Cells," and "Desperate Cry" became genre-defining anthems, driven by razor-sharp riffs, complex structures, and powerful production. Widely acclaimed, the album significantly expanded Sepultura’s international reach and established them as one of the most important metal acts of their generation.
