"Arise" (1991) "Dead Embryonic Cells" (1991) "Under Siege (Regnum Irae)" (1991)

At this stage in their career, the band had recorded little material to be used as B-sides, which is why the Arise singles are so similar. This single and the next, "Under Siege (Regnum Irae)" have exactly the same artwork (a detail of the Arise album cover artwork by Michael Whelan) and B-sides.

The song appears on the Liberty City Hardcore station in both Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned[4] and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.[5] The station notably features Max Cavalera as the radio DJ.
