Arise (album)

Arise is the fowert album bi the Brazilian hivy metal baund, Sepultura. Upon its release, the album receivit top reviews frae hivy metal magazines such as Rock Hard, Kerrang! an Metal Forces.Barcinski & Gomes 1999, pages 99 & 103. Arise is considered Sepultura's finest oor amang langtime fans.

While the muisic on Arise wis maistly in the same daith/thrash style as their previous album, Beneath the Remains, it wis clear that the Sepultura soond wis acquirin an experimental edge. The album presentit their first incursions wi industrial muisic, hardcore punk an laitin percussion.Barcinski & Gomes 1999, page 89.Barcinski & Gomes 1999, page 90.

The tour (1990–1992) that supportit the album wis the group's langest at that time, totallin 220 shows in 39 different kintras. Durin this trek, the album went gowd in Indonesie—the baund's first muisic industry certification.Barcinski & Gomes 1999, page 109. Bi the tour's end, Arise hae achievit platinum sales warldwide.

Production
In August 1990, the band travelled to Florida, to work on the album. Scott Burns reprised his role as producer and engineer, and now with a major advantage: Sepultura were at his home base, Morrisound, a studio properly equipped to record their music style. Their label Roadrunner granted a $40,000 budget, which helped explain the album's improved production values. That allowed Igor and Burns, for example, to spend a whole week just testing the drum kit's tunings and experimenting with microphone practice.Barcinski & Gomes 1999, page 86.

Muisical style
Although lead guitarist Andreas Kisser statit that Arise "teuk a lot o the same direction" as their previous LP, Beneath the Remains, it wis clear that their muisic haed somehou chyngit. Sepultura's uisual breakneck pace became toned doun a bit; drummer Igor Cavalera stairtit uisin groove-laden rhythms; an the Max Cavalera/Kisser guitar duo experimentit wi altered tunins. Accordin tae metal specialist Don Kaye, the album "representit the baund takin their initial daith/thrash soond tae its logical conclusion."

Arise an aw foond the baund openin up tae non-metal influences. Baunds such as Einstürzende Neubauten, The Young Gods an Ministry wur awready pairt o Sepultura's listenin habits, an slicht touches o industrial muisic can be tracit through the uise o samples an soond effects. A trademark o a later phase—Laitin percussion an "tribal" drummin—made its first appearance on the sang "Altered State". The baund's auld love for hardcore punk is evident on "Subtraction" an "Desperate Cry".Barcinski & Gomes 1999, pages 47 & 89.
