Arise (Sepultura album)

Arise
The artwork shows a hellish-looking beast that is a scrambled collage of forms difficult to describe. The overall appearance is largely crab-like, with pincer claws raised above its center. The claws are holding a strand of outstretched sinew and strung in the middle of the strand is a human brain emitting a wispy smoke. Within the smoke there are various shapes like spines and even tortured people. The impression is made that the creature is eating the brain via two round thorny appendages on its top. In the creature's center there is a large eyeball staring straight at the viewer and a second smaller eyeball beneath but slightly offset. On the left-hand side (viewer's perspective) there is a distorted mouth as if screaming in pain. A couple of crab-like but bony legs stretch out on the other side (one of which appears to have a man embedded inside as his face is seen through a hole). At the base of the legs are a few roundish shapes, perhaps mushroom tops or some sort of eggs but each dotted with black ovals resembling eyes. There's another decaying skull to the left of the mouth and a handful of stone totems as well. There are numerous other smaller details such as faces or creatures throughout the nooks and crannies. The entire monstrosity is straddling a wave-shaped stone wall, suggesting it is the size of a small castle or keep. Behind the creature is open water and in the foreground is some sort of grass. The nighttime sky has a wispy smoke-like appearance. The band name "SEPULTURA" is in an orange outline font centered at the top. The album name "ARISE" is in small caps orange solid font in the middle of the right-hand side.

Arise is the fourth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released in 1991 by Roadrunner Records. Upon its release, the album received top reviews from heavy metal magazines such as Rock Hard, Kerrang! and Metal Forces.[2] Arise is considered Sepultura's finest hour among longtime fans.[3]

While the music on Arise was mostly in the same death/thrash style as their previous album, Beneath the Remains, it was clear that the Sepultura sound was acquiring an experimental edge.[4] The album presented their first incursions with industrial music, hardcore punk and Latin percussion.[5][6] The tour (1991–1992) that supported the album was the group's longest at that time, totalling 220 shows in 39 countries.[6] During this trek, the album went gold in Indonesia—the band's first music industry certification.[7] By the tour's end, Arise had achieved platinum sales worldwide.[8]
