Arise

not for me

Not my cup of tea. I like guitars but also melodies.

My ears vomited 0.0

Who knows - this may be a good thrash metal / death metal album. But it sounds pretty generic and formulaic to me with the caveat that I’m not a metal-head. I made the commitment when I started this project that I would listen to each album in its entirety. This album tested my resolve.

1,.... aturde mucho

Album: Arise Artist: Sepultara Year: 1991 Genre: Heavy Metal Rating: ⭐️ Didn’t like it one bit. Couldn’t understand what they were saying and the drums were too overbearing. Fave song: Subtraction I guess. Didn’t like any of them? Would I listen again? No.

I do no like heavy metal :(

Si la idea del baterista era causar la sensación de que estaban golpeando a alguien lo logró. Hice un esfuerzo para terminar de escucharlo.

Heavy metal with screaming vocals. Not for me.

I love the Sisters font. And the Front Line Assembly sounding production and effects, and the initial bits of some tracks. Otherwise I feel about this like someone else did about Motörhead - most of the actual “songs” sound nearly indistinguishable from each other. Crash crash riff riff solo riff riff riff the end “Desperate Cry” had a nice Ministry/NWO thing going for a bit, and the acoustic guitar is a welcome relief.

Thank you, but no thanks

Every song the same. No interest. Vocals extremely off putting. Some of the music isn't bad... so a 1 rather than a 0 star.

Ok, within 2 tracks you get the idea. It chugs along somewhere between Metallica and Iron Maiden but without any vocal melody or charm. I’m sure it goes down great in a mosh pit but a 54 year old probably needs a bit more subtlety. I’ll stick with early Opeth instead.

Made it to track 3

Fucking awful

Trying to listen to this in the Hospital Emergency Dept is not a good idea.

Þetta er ekki allt eins, það eru þarna kaflar í einstaka lögum (t.d. Desperate Cry) sem eru áhugaverðir. En hjálp hvað þetta er heilt yfir litið leiðinlegt. Trommur sem líkamsrækt, söngur sem misþyrmir raddböndum, og leiðnlegt metal distortion á gítarnum. Ekki fyrir mig.

I could tell by the album cover I wasn’t going to like it . I’m a minute it . It’s way too yelly for me . I’m sorry I can’t

No, I don't think so

TBH I hated it. Not a fan of this heavy screamo rock. I wish I could give it 0 stars...

no!!

Please don't

Listened to first track. Did not like.

Nah

Hate this shit

Didn't even listen to this..

The vocals made this a chore.

No, thank you. While I rated another album of Sepultura a bit more favourably (because there they used latin percussion and stuff), this one here is garbage. It's annoying loud stuff that doesn't care for much structure than angry repeats. Every song sounds the same.

Nope. Too hard, don't like this kind of metal.

Jakbym to juz slyszal wczesniej, nadal tak samo niesluchalne, traszowanie dead metalowe przechodzi jedynie w gierkach i to jeszcze nie kazdych, sluchac tego poza granicami cyfrowego swiata, niemozliwe

Nope. It is screaming death metal.

If there is one genre I really loathe it's trash/death metal. It's aggressive, musically repetitive and boring and emotionally it brings out the worse from me, too. I get irritated and angry just as I am now after I finished listening to it. Sorry, but it gets a 1 from me.

This is like an SNL skit of a heavy metal band. The editors are joking with this inclusion, no? Not sure why the band bothered with separate titles for tracks 3-5, as they are all the same. Ditto tracks 6-8. Zero stars. Utter waste of time.

Lo escuche asi no mas. No soy fan

Qué cagaso escuchar esto.... No lo haré.

Jag lyckas inte ta mig igenom dagens skiva. Men det misstänkte jag direkt när jag såg vad jag skulle lyssna på idag.

Nope.

Really?

Just can't do metal like this. 1/5

Yeah. Once again: nope.

1 star. would not tarnish ears with again.

Really tried but did not work for me.

No thank yeeeewwww

Noise

comically cringe 2/10

Nope

3rd January 2023 Listened while working from home. Gym and last his dark materials in the evening. I get it’s a genre people enjoy, but god no.

i don’t like metal sorry

Kut productie en kut muziek!

Blegh!

Ik spreek geen Portugees, maar weet wel dat 'Sepultura' Portugees is voor 'kut met peren'.

Wat ruk

Not for me!

It was a bit too tweaky for me

couldn't listen

Not really my thing

Cannot believe I listened to every minute of this. How am I meant to comment. It all sounds the same as every other heavy metal album. Hated it

They might be Brazilian but on this evidence bog-standard death metal. Blast beats, chugging riffs and the throaty screamy vocals all the way through. Sorry.

I think I have figured out my least favourite type of music, he said in a throaty growl.

No es mi estilo

Metal 🤷

Nope. Absolute racket

Awful

Just awful

1 metal

Upsetting.

Brazillian Thrash Metal, Not my Genre I am afraid. don't see the musicality or the creativity here, just seems bland to me. I find the voice repetitive and hard to listen to too. Standard Thrash Metal 101 that I might hear from any Teenage band from the 90's. Can't pick a favourite as this would be disingenuous and I feel betray the whole point of this exercise. The only thing of any credit for me is "Orgasmatron" a cover of Lemmy and Motorhead so that shows how bad this album is! Sorry Metal fans but this is on the far end of the tolerable spectrum for me.

I like rock music, even some heavy metal, but death and thrash have always passed me by. Not my thing at all, so much so that I had to stop after the third track. I'm sure they are fine exponents of their art. but it's not my kind of art.

Too hardcore for me, couldn't make it to the end.

Sorry kids I hate metal

Nope

Face melting, heart pounding, 5 word phrases. Not for me, thanks.

noget øv musik

Ja, nej, brasiliansk heavy metal er ikke lige mig

1 1/2

Don't get it. Don't like it. How are there two albums by Sepultura that I'm supposed to hear before I die? That' seems excessive. Did Sepultura create this list?

Not ever going to work for me. Just can’t get into this style.

Nah.

Sadly there is no option for 0 stars

I'm so sorry, it's impossible to get any enjoyment out of this. Don't take this personally Brazilian Death Metal Heads.

Nah

The perfect album for a fancy dinner party with your boss or coworkers. Highly recommended if you want to make a lasting impression.

Today I learned that Sepultura is Brazilian, and that it means "grave" in Portuguese. Unfortunately, this did not make me like their music any more. I wonder if there is a thrash metal band out there somewhere that I would like. Metallica is kind of on the edge of that genre, and as I think I discussed previously, when going back to Metallica now I don't like it as much as I did 20 years ago. There is a lot of potential in the soaring guitars and rapid-fire drumming, but it rarely comes together in an appealing way for more than a minute at a time. Then there is the growling singing style that seems a hallmark of the genre. Are there thrash metal bands with higher, more melodious vocals? I'd be interested to try that. Oooh, or a thrash metal band with a female vocalist? Gonna go search for that, because Sepultura isn't doing it for me.

This guys voice really grinds my gears. I dislike his whole schtick. It’s unfortunate because there are some real musical nuggets here, mostly in the guitar playing. When there is singing on this album, it is unbearable. I’m not impressed by the extremely fast double bass drumming either, which appears far too often. I must say there are several riffs that got my head bobbing: Dead Embryonic Cells from about 1:05 remaining to 0:40 remaining, the first minute of Desperate Cry, parts of Altered State, and the beginning of Meaningless Movements.

Too heavy/thrash for me

Helle zwik

Not my tempo

Not for me...

une honte metallistique, ça va manger un bon gros 1/5

Um, no.

Shite. Literally just noise. Couldn't even begin to find a thread that I could follow. As I said at the start, shite.

Make it stop

1/5 just nope.

Make it stop!

Not for me

Nunca me gusto de morro... menos ahora de viejo
