"utterly classic, it retains the 3rd world metal vibe of their earlier discs but starts to show glimpses of their later more "progressive" sound. A lot of true metal purists will frown on their later discs, but have a hard time finding any problem with this one.
Gone also are the horrendous recording of the guitars heard on earlier discs.
Anyone else wonder if they got the title from Amebix? They definetly show the influence in their later days!"
Sepultura Flying high!

"Arise is one of the greatest thrash metal records ever made. Max screams insane lyrics while Andreas destroys your neighbours brains with heavy guitars riffs. Igor is one of the greatest drummers of all time. In my opinion, Arise was the best album from Sepultura. If you like thrash metal you will love Arise. Try Chaos A.D, too.
