SYMBOLIC

Ok. I don't like this band at all. However, like the saying goes, to each with their own. While Death was always a band that never satisfied me too much, Symbolic was one of the most important albums of its genre. It's an essential album for technical metal. Heavy, brutal, and quintessential. Songs like 1,000 Eyes and Crystal Mountain are very iconic death metal songs, although I would say Perennial Quest is the best from the album. A great closer. The album isn't very long so it's easy to do full listens, although prog rock fans might struggle due to the harsh vocals.
