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]
