About this album

© Roadrunner (1998) Released: 27 Jan 1998 10 tracks (46:41)
Arise is the fourth studio album by Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura, released in 1991 through Roadrunner Records. Upon its release, the album received top reviews from heavy metal magazines such as Rock Hard, Kerrang! and Metal Forces. Arise is considered Sepultura’s finest hour among longtime fans.

While the music on Arise was mostly in the same death/thrash style as their previous album, Beneath the Remains, it was clear that the Sepultura sound was acquiring an experimental edge. The album presented their first incursions with industrial music, hardcore punk and latin percussion.

The tour (1990-1992) that supports the album has been the group’s longest yet, totalling 220 shows in 39 different countries. During this trek, the album went gold in Indonesia, making it their very first music industry certification. By the tour’s end, Arise had achieved platinum sales worldwide.

Arise garnered praise from a wide variety of sources. By the time of its release, major Brazilian newspapers were already aware of the band’s existence, and advanced copies sent to them were generally met with positive reviews. Artur G. Couto Duarte, writing for O Estado de Minas, described Sepultura’s soundscapes as “stories describing barren worlds where disease, hunger, torture and death reign supreme”. Folha de São Paulo’s Sérgio Sá Leitão pointed out Sepultura’s increasing compositional skills, drawing attention to how the band’s occasional use of restraint benefited their songs as a whole.
