In their previous seven-year existence Sepultura had steadily established themselves as Brazil's premier metal outfit, but it wasn't until 1991's breakthrough album Arise that they truly captured hearts and minds. Subsequently rereleased with the addition of four bonus tracks--including the band's monumental annihilation of Motorhead's "Orgasmatron"--Arise highlights Sepultura's irrefutable kinship with Metallica. The harmonic guitar interplay between Max Cavalera's rock-solid rhythm work and Andreas Kisser's lead lines--on occasions the six-stringed equivalent of a dentist drill--is devastating. Max's tortured vocals and brother Igor's rhythmic battery are marked by sheer, unfettered aggression. Moments of restraint, as on the quite astonishing "Altered State," merely accentuate the band's trademark brutality, and "Dead Embryonic Cells" is coal-black Sepultura. Even with historical perspective, Arise retains its ignominious appeal. --Ian Fortnam

Thrash Metal Heaven - A Perfect Album Start to Finish.......2006-11-11

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. This stuff destroys and lays to ruins all heavy metal acts on the planet. 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.

Way better than the overrated ROOTS........2006-09-29

In fact, the 2 arent even in the same genre (Arise = Thrash Metal > Roots = Nu Metal). Arise is Sepultura at their fiercest, most talented and creative form. Outstanding riffs populate this release as well and a true headbanger's delight.

Don't listen to those kids out there saying Roots is better/their best album..their knowledge of music history obviously only goes back as far as 1996...>>

Classic by the jungle boys of metal!.......2006-08-04

In 1991, Sepultura released their fourth full-length album "Arise". This album was their third best just behind "Chaos A.D." and "Beneath the Remains". This album marked a change in Max's voice. From the Tom Araya style vocals in their first three albums to the death metal growling that's present on this album and on "Chaos A.D." and "Roots". The drums on this album by Igor Cavalera are awesome. Igor has to be one of the most underrated drummers in metal! Andreas Kisser although he has done better on other Sepultura albums still does a good job on here handling the solos. My favorite song on this album is "Desperate Cry". Other highlights are the title track, "Dead Embryonic Cells", and "Altered State". Don't forget to get all of Sepultura's studio albums from "Morbid Visions" to "Chaos AD". And once again avoid all of that Derrick Green, "Roots" and Soulfly cr a p!

Forget the Black Album!!.......2006-07-18

This Sep' album rules, its quickly catching up to "Morbid Visions/Bestial Devastation" and "Schizofrenia" as one of my favorites. Like what HellHammer said, these guys are becoming more complex with age, Selloutallica was doing the opposite. Max's frustration with the world and politics are very well written in this album, and his voice is very rough. Andreas Kisser's guitar work is very good, his harmonies, riffs, and solos; he's way better than Kirk Hammett. Paulo Jr.'s basslines aren't that audible in this album, but they still kick (listen to "Chaos AD" for audible bass). Igor Cavalera's drumming is fast yet complex, he's the Brazilian Dave Lombardo.

That being said, its no surprise this is one of the best albums of 1991, along with Suffocation's "Effigy of the Forgotten." I love all the songs on here, but my favorites have to be "Arise," "Dead Embryonic Cells," "Altered States," and "Meaningless Movements."

Get this along with Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss," Megadeth's "Rust in Peace," and Suffocation's "Effigy of the Forgotten."

Avoid the grunge albums being released at this time such as *cough* Nirvana *cough* and *cough* Soundgarden *cough*, and avoid Selloutallica's "The Black Album," metal reigns supreme!!

You'll forget all about the Black album.......2006-07-14

The only band that can give thrash greats Megadeth and Slayer a run for their money, its unfortunate that they are never mentioned alot, even though they were just as important to the thrash genre as Kreator, Pantera, and the Big Four of thrash. My complaint aside, this album is by far one of the greatest metal albums of 1991 and by far Sepultura's greatest ever. While Metallica was slowing down their speed and simplifying their riffs, Sepultura was doing the exact opposite. This CD is so blazingly fast, it nearly topples Slayer's Reign in Blood in overall headbanging madness and crazy solos.

Songs Arise, Dead Embryonic Cells, Desperate Cry, and Infected Voice are my favorites, but there are no weak spots in this classic. Also worth checking out are Kreators Pleasure to Kill, Sepulturas Beneath the Remains, Slayers Seasons in the Abyss, and Megadeths Countdown to Extinction for some thrashy goodness.
