Album of the Day

Founded in Brazil in 1984, Sepultura recorded two full-length albums before signing with Roadrunner Records for their major-label debut, BENEATH THE REMAINS. Widely regarded today as a thrash-metal classic, the 1989 album perfectly distilled the band’s potent mix of piercing melodies and pummeling rhythms. Cut in Rio de Janeiro with producer Scott Burns, the collection was hailed by fans and critics alike for such standout songs as “Inner Self,” “Primitive Future” and the title track. A double-disc Deluxe Edition of BENEATH THE REMAINS includes nine unreleased “mixdown” recordings taken from the album sessions along with an unreleased live set performed at the Zeppelinhalle, West Germany, on September 22, 1989 – and it's now available on colored vinyl exclusively at Rhino.com.
