DEATH • Symbolic • LP

Roadrunner Records

Neither Pantera, Biohazard, nor Obituary can hold a candle to this sonically flawless document. Suggested tracks? Unnecessary — Symbolic offers a bit of everything and maintains top-tier quality throughout. If Bolt Thrower’s most recent output — with its raw attitude and uncompromising brutality — served as a warning shot across the bow of the death metal ship stuck in a swamp of creative stagnation, then it’s Symbolic we have to thank for getting that battered vessel back to full speed and steering it toward new horizons.

A powerful, timeless, and groundbreaking work that will set the standard for everything to come. Subjectively speaking, perhaps even the best DEATH album ever
