Sepultura - Arise

Sepultura revisit this raucous classic with a remastered version of the original album that’s been expanded with rare and unreleased studio and live recordings. Arise is considered to be Sepultura's finest hour by long-time devotees. The first of the group's unholy trinity of Arise, Chaos AD and Roots, it was the first release to bridge the gap between totally brutal, primitive death thrash as practiced by the group up to that point and the new, crystal '90's' death metal sound that the would go on to define them. What sets this record apart from Beneath the Remains for example is the stellar songwriting and gut-wrenching riffs. For a few years in the early 90s sepultura were on a par with Slayer and Arise is their testament to that. This reissue features a newly remastered version of the original album along with 28 bonus tracks. Many of those have never been released, including an industrial remix of Dead Embryonic Cells, Meaningless Movements from an August 1989 writing session, and a cover of Motorhead’s Orgasmatron. Previously unreleased highlights from the second disc include a version of Infected Voice from writing sessions that took place in March 1990, as well as basic tracks for Murder, Altered State and more. The disc also features the CD debut of eight concert recordings originally released on the band’s first home video, Under Seige (Live In Barcelona), including Arise, Dead Embryonic Cells and Beneath The Remains.
