Which band released the 1995 album 'Symbolic'?

Death released the 1995 album Symbolic. It was the American death-metal band’s sixth studio album and is widely regarded as a landmark in progressive and technical death metal.

The album was led by Chuck Schuldiner, whose songwriting combined death metal’s aggressive vocals and distorted guitars with intricate structures, melodic passages, and philosophical themes. Tracks such as “Symbolic,” “Crystal Mountain,” and “Empty Words” show this broader musical approach.

Symbolic was recorded at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida, and produced by Chuck Schuldiner and Jim Morris. The lineup included guitarist Bobby Koelble, bassist Kelly Conlon, and drummer Gene Hoglan.

The album is sometimes confused with Human, Individual Thought Patterns, or The Sound of Perseverance, other major Death records. Symbolic is specifically the 1995 release and is often praised for balancing technical precision with memorable songwriting.
