Show Notes:
Episode Fifteen: Sepultura's Beneath The Remains (1989). This Is the third studio release from the Brazilian thrashers, who gained global awareness and critical praise outside of their home country. The album is considered a top death/thrash release among fans and music journalists, and it was their first release on Roadrunner Records.
Beneath showed improved production and songwriting, and according to Max, the band found their style on this release. It was released on April 7th, 1989 and was produced by Scott Burns; who agreed to a low fee because he was so intrigued by the band and was curious about going to Brazil. The album drew critical acclaim and it was noted by many journalists the band went from third-world obscurity to major contenders on the international extreme metal scene.
The cover art drew a bit of controversy at the time, due to the band seeking to use Michael Whelan's Bloodcurdling Tales Of Horror and the Macabre, but was overruled by Roadrunner because they felt the cover didn't suit the music for this release. Instead, they opted on utilizing Whelan's Nightmare In Red. Ultimately, a year later Obituary used the cover art to Bloodcurdling for Cause Of Death, which angered drummer Igor.
