Beneath the Remains

Beneath the Remains is the third studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released on April 7, 1989. It was their first release by Roadrunner Records. Continuing in the death/thrash metal vein of its predecessor Schizophrenia (1987), the album had improved production and songwriting compared to the band's previous black metal-influenced works. It also marked the beginning of Sepultura's transition to a more technical, progressive sound heard on the next album Arise (1991). The album was the band's breakthrough in extreme metal circles, bringing them international attention in the scene. Though no singles were released from the album, the band's first music video was made for the track "Inner Self".
