Review:
From the first notes of Black to the end of Born To Die, this album rips all the way through. A fun high-intensity romp, and this marked part of the beginning of the nu-metal movement before it even had a name.

Review:
Sepultura went headlong into the tribal direction that they started on Chaos AD on this one, and the result is something that only vaguely resembles the original thrash the band played, but is still heavy as hell.

B-sides and demos from Chaos AD and Roots, then the second half is a bunch of live tracks from a Chaos-era show.

Review:
Whereas Arise is probably Sep at their most thrash, this album retained the thrash roots while adding some of the tribal stuff that Max would become famous for. This was the album that propelled Sepultura into the metal mainstream, and gained them a lot of popularity and credibility.

Review:
Max�s growl got a little deeper on this one, and it nudges this album just a bit higher than Beneath the Remains. Dead Embryonic Cells is a classic.

Review:
I only got into Sepultura as a result of my interest in Soufly, and again, better late than never. This coupled with their next album, Arise, are two of the best thrash albums of all time. The title track and Inner Self are the highlights.

Review:
This is Sepultura�s second LP, but the first with the now-classic lineup including Andreas Kisser on guitar. A huge step up in production from the Bestial Devastation / Morbid Visions efforts, this album really begins to show off the thrash sound that would be developed on later albums. Since the copy I got is a re-release, it�s got a couple demo versions and a re-recorded �Troops Of Doom� as bonus tracks.

Review:
With the advent of the compact disc, this 1986 album was released with the very first Sepultura EP from 1985, Bestial Devastation, tacked onto the end. Having said that, the production on these albums certainly left a bit to be desired, but the beginnings of a great metal band can be heard in there. Both of these were recorded with the original guitarist, Jairo, and as such the releases have a bit of a different feel than the rest of the Sep catalog. I mainly bought this �just to have�, for the sake of completeness, as opposed to something I�m going to spin all day every day.

Review:
The long awaited follow-up to Disclaimer has the band growing a little bit. The songs are better, the instrumentation is a little more complex, and the vocals are clearer. It helps that theres a cohesive band around Shaun Morgan this time, and while the songs largely have the same structure as the last one, there is a nice variation on this. I still like this one the least of the three, however.

Review:
In addition to adding 6 new songs and a remake of Broken, the entire album was remixed. This was a turn for the better, as there are little parts that got buried or simply weren�t there in the inital release, making for a much more interesting listen. Not that the original was anything to sneeze at, but I never listen to that one anymore, preferring to spin this instead.
