Desperate Cry


Desperate Cry is a track from Sepultura's 1991 album Arise, a landmark release that blends death/thrash metal with progressive technicality and industrial influences. The song exemplifies the band's evolving sound post-Beneath the Remains, featuring complex riffing and rhythmic intensity ideal for guitarists seeking to master Brazilian heavy metal's technical demands.

  • Arise marked Sepultura's first major venture into industrial music and hardcore punk elements alongside traditional thrash metal.
  • The album was released by Roadrunner Records on March 25, 1991, following the band's successful breakthrough two years prior.
  • Desperate Cry showcases the progressive and technical guitar work that defined Sepultura's 1990s era and influenced modern metal.
