THE REVIEW
Let me start by saying that I didn't really follow Sepultura much before, and if I wanted to listen to a song, I preferred to hear: "Territory", "Roots Bloody Roots", "Ratamahatta" (if that's how you write it), and "Arise" (in other words, the most famous ones). So I wanted to deepen my exploration of this band, and I listened to this thrash metal masterpiece from the late '80s with some death metal influences.
This is the first album by this band that I've listened to in its entirety, and I was very satisfied. First of all, the album benefits from excellent production because, as far as I understand, the previous albums didn’t have the best. The rhythm section of this album is supported by the formidable drumming of Igor Cavalera, whose skillful drumming can be heard in every song (also, considering his young age, he was truly a phenomenon). And about the Cavalera/Kisser guitarist duo, what should I say? They are also formidable, with the riffs and solos they churn out, making the songs more aggressive than ever. As for bassist Paulo Jr., I wouldn't know what to say, because I have never played the bass and don't know how to play it, so I can't say it sucks, as everyone "claims".
Summing it all up, "Beneath the Remains" is a masterpiece thanks to gems like "Inner Self", the title track, "Mass Hypnosis", and "Stronger than Hate", which are personally the most beautiful songs of the album. It's a pity that I never wanted to follow them before, and I must say I made a big mistake.

"Beneath The Remains is a very tight album, a great mix of death and thrash, and full of those tremendous onslaughts that characterized the first cycle of Sepultura."
"Max Cavalera builds around himself his reputation as a metal sacred monster, excellent both at the microphone and the guitar; and what about his brother Igor? What I liked most in the full length is undoubtedly him."
