Album cover artwork for Sepultura's Arise depicts a surreal and apocalyptic biomechanical monster emerging from a dark, lifeless ocean. The twisted central figure is an amalgamation of decaying organic matter and mechanical elements. A distorted humanoid skull with three eerie circular eyes—two resembling metallic gears—sits atop a mangled mass of flesh, bone, and rusted components. From its head rise thorned, demonic claws in a symmetrical display, each arm composed of blood-red plant-like tendrils ending in crab-like pincers. On the left, a massive screaming dragon or dinosaur skull juts out aggressively, mouth agape, its jaw supported by muscular sinew that anchors into a fortress-like ruin. Beneath and behind it, ancient stone totems bearing weathered carvings suggest a fallen civilization. A goat-like horned beast lurks submerged beside it, reinforcing the nightmarish setting. The monster's lower body morphs into a crumbling necropolis, with spiked and twisted ribs forming bridges and arches, leading toward a skeletal hand that stretches outward on the right. Beneath it, fungal growths with grotesque organic textures grow out of the watery ground. A decaying humanoid form, impaled and oozing, stands crucified in the middle-right foreground, arms splayed against the monster’s bony extension. All of this grotesque fusion is crowned by a spiraling, glowing spiritual vortex that ascends into the heavens, filled with ghostly shapes, suggesting a release of tortured souls or energy. The scene is painted in dark browns, yellows, and ochres, casting a hellish, scorched tone throughout. The band’s name SEPULTURA is written in bold, stylized orange font at the top, while the album title ARISE appears to the right in slightly smaller type. |
