047: Album Dive: Sepultura Beneath The Remains

1989. Brazil. Thrash Metal. Magic.

Sepultura’s “Beneath the Remains” is STILL a force to be reckoned with in the thrash metal community and really, the metal community at large. It is fast, heavy, thrashy and also, GROOVY! (That’s right. GROOVY!). Sepultura “raised the bar” with this album, bringing BOLTH groove and melody together with those amazing riffs, the breakneck speed and the incredibly complex, technical thrash choreography that PROVES this is the band’s “Master of Puppets” album moment.

So, go fix your favorite relaxer, turn off the outside world for an hour or so and JOIN US as we go through the BTR track list and talk about yet another GLORIOUS moment of “magical genius” in thrash metal.
