Untitled

Symbolic is the sixth album by American death metal band Death. The album was released on March 21, 1995 through Roadrunner Records. The album was remastered and reissued on April 1, 2008 with five bonus tracks.[1]

Like its predecessors, the album is progressive and technically advanced. It is notable that the average song length on this album is around five minutes, while it was around four minutes on Human and Individual Thought Patterns, perhaps due to slowed down song tempos closer to that of traditional death metal.

No video was released for the album, but "Empty Words" was released as a single.

The song "Symbolic" was covered by Scariot on their Momentum Shift album. The song "Crystal Mountain" was covered by Symphonic Metal band Epica

Metal-Rules.com ranks the album as the seventh greatest extreme metal album[2] and the 58th greatest heavy metal album[3] of all time.
