Episode 95: Metal Essentials Vol. 3 – Sepultura: Arise (Album Commentary)
UNDER PALE GREY SKIES! Another "Genre Essentials Commentary" is on deck!
We're heading back to 1991 for a global breakthrough from Belo Horizonte, Brazil—one of the absolute greatest Heavy Metal records of all time: Sepultura's Arise. Is it Death Metal? Is it Thrash Metal? Is it both? Doesn't matter because it fucking rules, and we love it!
In this commentary episode, we cover track-by-track: • "Arise" & "Dead Embryonic Cells": The crushing 1-2 opening punch that put Sepultura on the world stage. • "Desperate Cry": Analyzing the acoustic intro, epic arrangement, and legendary riff transitions. • "Murder", "Subtraction" & "Altered State": Exploring the relentless Speed, Thrash precision, and early tribal/percussive elements. • "Under Siege (Regnum Irae)", "Meaningless Movements" & "Infected Voice": Closing out the album's dark atmosphere and technical dominance.
Queue up your copy of Arise, hit sync with our countdown, and ride the riff wave with us in 3…2…1…
