Death's penultimate album can be seen to perfect Chuck Schuldiner's vision of progressive death metal, before things took a slightly wayward turn with its jazzier successor. These nine songs are all superbly crafted, long enough to incorporate various ideas and changes while somehow remaining coherent, while remaining heavy and furious enough for death metal fans who wouldn't normally approach such intricate compositions. This should be a compulsory education tool for progressive music lovers who dismiss death metal's ability to produce competitive experimental music, and who believe the genre to be merely a load of angry kids yelling about guts.

Products similar to Symbolic - Death
Ten - Blitzkrieg
The band comfortably integrates into the nineties.
Later songs sound similar.
Seventeen Seconds - The Cure
A couple of the songs don't stink... um...
Robert Smith was trying to be clever in his sparse instrumental arrangements and it back-fired!
Sex Reflex - Bile
May have made Krztoff some more money.
Alienates more serious fans.
Sacrifice - Black Widow
Early occult prog, with a fun gimmick if nothing else.
Some experiments are less successful than others, particularly the chanting to Satan.
Faith - The Cure
The Cure's strongest set of songs when released, great arrangements for the most part
Primary and Doubt, while not bad songs, stick out artistically
Demonic Electronic - Bile
The return of the darkness and evil.
Not as varied as previous works.
Copy Machine - Bile
You may know the original songs...
...but these covers are nothing special.
Bleed The Grey Sky Black - Bella Morte
Modern gothic rock that everyone can enjoy, even pretentious bigots like me.
Lighter and poppier songs are disappointing compared to the more experimental offerings.
Bestial - Black Cobra
Highly talented sludge doom from a two-man-band.
Later songs make strange use of silence, which only gets in the way, but can presumably be skipped.
H418ov21.c - Beherit
Each song attempts something different.
Each song is an abominable waste of time.
