In December 1988, brothers Max (guitar/vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums), Paulo Jr. (bass) and Andreas Kisser (guitar) recorded Beneath the Remains in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) with the hottest producer of that time, Scott Burns. Soon after its release in April 1989, the album was hailed by fans and critics alike for standout songs like Inner Self, Primitive Future and the title track. The album has been remastered especially for this collection.
