Symbolic stands as a monumental release in the discography of Death, a band that has significantly shaped the trajectory of death metal. Released in 1995, this album not only encapsulates the evolution of the genre but also showcases Death's transition toward a more progressive and technically sophisticated sound. The craftsmanship of Chuck Schuldiner, the band's frontman and principal songwriter, shines throughout the album with intricate guitar work and thoughtful lyrics that explore themes of existence and human emotion far beyond the typical confines of metal. The album's complexity and depth have earned it critical acclaim and a devoted following, making it a sought-after gem for collectors and audiophiles alike. Notably, "Symbolic" stands out in the vinyl community due to it's rarity, being the only album from Death's catalog that hasn't been reissued on vinyl in recent years, even though it's often cited as the cornerstone album in one of the most impressive death metal discographies of all time.
