Sepultura Arise

A landmark in extreme metal, Arise stands as one of Sepultura’s most defining and influential releases. Originally unleashed in 1991, the Brazilian quartet’s fourth studio album captured a band at the height of their ferocity — sharpening their death/thrash assault while beginning to push beyond genre boundaries.

Building on the brutality of Beneath The Remains, Arise showcased tighter songwriting, crushing riffs and relentless precision, while hinting at new textures that would later define their evolution. Subtle incorporations of industrial elements, hardcore punk energy and Latin rhythmic influences expanded their sonic palette without sacrificing intensity. For many longtime fans, Arise remains Sepultura’s finest hour — a perfect balance of technical aggression and raw power.

This remastered 2LP edition presents the original album alongside 10 bonus tracks, including rare and previously unreleased material such as “Meaningless Movements” from an early writing session and a blistering cover of Motörhead’s “Orgasmatron.” Pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, this expanded reissue offers the ultimate version of a thrash metal cornerstone.

Ferocious, forward-thinking and uncompromising, Arise endures as a pivotal chapter in heavy music history.
