Spring, 1991. Thrash had hit its apex as a genre and was beginning the transition into what would become “the next wave” of thrash with a sound and identify located somewhere between the thrash, groove, and death metal genres. With SEPULTURA’s 4th album, ARISE, emerging a mere 2 years after their 1989 thrash masterpiece, Beneath The Remains, the Brazilian metal shamans continued to refine and intensify the evolution of their sound, creating a veritable cocktail of extreme metal with new dimensions of heaviness, including tons of crushing riffs, creepy soft intros, and eerily dark harmonies. 

It’s time to discover how “normal writing” identifies and hear what it sounds like when you take ayahuasca in the jungles of Brazil. Always remember to never “be an A word or a C word” and instead “be a blessing” because we are all struggling to cope in this new era of “middle evil”. Raise your standards and elevate yourself to something greater than leaping over a “one-inch hurdle” (like riding a bike to the mall 10 miles just to play “hide the finger” in a movie theater perhaps). Find out which song title we thought identified as “a slang term for the downstairs” and JOIN US on this journey of metal discourse as we dive into the next wave of thrash brutality that could only be identified as SEPULTURA’s ARISE.
