Under Siege (Regnum Irae)

Arise is the fourth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released on March 25, 1991, by Roadrunner Records. Released after their breakthrough album, Beneath the Remains (1989), Arise represents the band's experiments with that album's death/thrash style as well as its progressive and technical abilities, and presents the band's first incursions with industrial music, hardcore punk and Latin percussion. Upon its release, it received widespread acclaim in the heavy metal press, and yielded multiple singles. The tour that supported the album was the group's longest at that time, totaling 220 shows in 39 countries from 1991–1992. During the touring, the album went gold in Indonesia, becoming the band's first music industry certification. By the tour's end, Arise had achieved platinum sales worldwide. According to Whiplash's Hagen Kennedy, Arise is widely considered Sepultura's greatest album, and a landmark not only in thrash metal but extreme metal as a whole. The album was inducted into Decibel magazine's "Hall of Fame", becoming the third Sepultura album to receive such award, the previous two being Roots and Beneath the Remains. This induction made Sepultura the first band to have at least three of their albums featured in the Decibel Hall of Fame. It is considered to be an essential release in the thrash genre by Revolver.
