From its profound lyrics, Gene Hoglan's amazing drumming or the excellent riffage. Symbolic is one of Death's finest tracks. Lets find out Why it is great.

Death is what got me into Death Metal, especially this Album.
SAME! I was quite late because I’m rather young compared to these OGs, but Christmas 2011 I got Symbolic by Death, and Skyrim for the PS3. Safe to say that was an epic winter.
The song that got me into death metal 🤘
Just researching a Solar A2.6C to play Death on and I need a D standard guitar (I love Chuck’s Stealth but I don’t like how X types feel to me and just love strat shapes) and I came back to TH-cam looking for Death content and a new Varvis video dropped. Not only that, more Death/Schuldiner deep dives- Symbolic no less! Love it.
Ayyyy love to hear it man. Bless up 🙏🏻 Solar guitars are sick. I almost bought one when they had that deal back a few months ago.
@@VARVIS_ Awe man now I know I missed a deal! Oh well this guitar seems to be worth more than the asking price. Watching the video now good shit 🤘
this song introduced me to a style of metal music i had never heard before, chuck's music is kinda the sound of that entire era for me, very nostalgia inducing and emotive (reeks of the 90s). Plus this song talks about the death of good things we admired as kids, makes it one of the most unique lyrics in death metal music i had heard. It was more about philosophy rather than painting a violent/scary picture like most other death metal bands did.
Just recently I have been listening to symbolic the most out of anything. Probably at least 3-4 times a day these past couple days.
Same man. Just gets caught in my head. Once I hear that opening riff I cannot skip the rest of the song lol
New death video💪 Love these types of videos. Keep em coming! These videos have helped my writing tremendously. Thanks so much!🤘
Setup is looking CRISP man
true bro, digging the new upgraded varvs
I appreciate the subject matter. I have had these types of reflections a lot in the last few years. Its easy to fall into the trap of nostalgia and getting fixated on reliving your childhood, but its also easy to fall into the trap of belittling what you grew up with and holding a false sense of maturity that you are "above all that stuff". The former is being stuck in childhood and the latter is being an eternal teenager. The best of both worlds is appreciating the value that pivotal moments had while maintaining some distance from them. Not trying to recreate that high of innocence, nor devaluing these moments as stupid or meaningless. Good video. Also I didn't really think of Symbolic as Melodic Death, but it really is. Amazing record regardless.
Great comment man. I also have had similar reflections. Symbolic and TSOP are both over looked as Melodeath albums
3:40 "Crystal Mountain Clear" you should say.
Hell ŸÀAAAAAAAAA !!!!! What a great band man !!!!!!!!
Bud i saw a valvestate in calgary on kijiji just a few days ago🤟🤟🤟🤟
Without Judgement, Symbolic, and Crystal Mountain are some of the greatest metal songs. Period.
NEW VID HYPE
AYYYY 😩😩🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not only one of the greatest metal albums of all time but one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. Everything every song has the perfect mix of heaviness, melody, groove and nothing feels out of place it all melds together so well
Thank you for this video! A great analysis of what is probably my favorite song of all time.
Hell yeah dude. This is well timed for me since I’m on an OSDM kick after a long break from it
Dude
Were has your channel been hiding? So cool!
We have been slumming it in the trenches. Welcome to the party
Great vid. Keep it up
Great video man, love the breakdown of everything and how you tie it all together. My friend in my masters econ program in 2015 lent me his Symbolic CD. He was a guitar player that also didn't really like harsh vocals, but loved tech death style instrumentals like Blotted Science. Bands like Trivium, Periphery, Tesseract, etc. had gotten me to appreciate the mix of harsh and cleans, but death/black/extreme metal vocals were always a bit too much. I remember trying to listen to bands like Fallujah or NeO and just feeling overwhelmed even with the instrumentals too lmao. Listening to Symbolic though, Chuck's vocals were obviously pretty grating, but their delivery and the music behind them (the groove of it as you pointed out) is when things started to click. Eventually bands like Fallujah, NeO, RoN, Beyond Creation, Slugdge, Vektor, Revocation, and many more became some of my favorites haha. Death was really big in my musical journey and reinforced the idea to keep an open mind to stuff you don't like at first listen.
Awesome insight, man!
I absolutely love your break down of this song. Death is one of my favorite bands. I subbed!
This is a timeless classic. Good analysis.
Thank you for this series on Death, especially the songs from Symbolic. These are excellent analyses/explanations of Chucks reasoning. It's rare to have the talent and ability to analyze and infer meaning in music from the theoretical level ( as in rudiments like notes, timing, etc) to the lyrical level.
Thank you fam 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@VARVIS_
Anytime, Homie.
Now I am waiting for the Onset of Putrefaction deep dive
Necrophagist soon enough bro
just saw Death to All in Berkley play this. fantastic show
Love the song. Love the album. It's a big underrated in the Death discography.
I saw death 95 Symbolic tour London. One the best gigs ever. Fav band🤘
Damn so jealous! I was one year old in 1995 LOL
Best metal album fr
What a profound and professional analysis, dude! I studied philology and profiled in west European poetry of early XX century. What an excellent reading of Schuldiner. Metal started for me with DEATH “HUMAN” and Chuck @Co istayed most influential and symbolic group of musicians till now in spite of immense diversity of tech death metal today. Bravo, I am your fan.
Thank you sir. It means a lot. Not a lot of people take a look at metal lyrics as poetry, but Chuck's output especially the last 4 or so albums are all fantastic poetry 👍👍👍
"Do you remember when, things seemed so eternal? Heroes were so real... Their magic frozen in time!" Dude this is awesome. Keep making some of the best metal comment on TH-cam!
Thanks for heartwork mention
Of course man
Album is a banger
@@VARVIS_ I'd love an analysis on the song Heartwork, absolute banger
🤘🏻❤
i dont know if you talked about it in the video but it would be cool if you made a video about deaths album covers. i saw the sketch that chuck made for symbolic but dont understand what the eye and the paths represent
also was wondering what crystal mountain is. i understand all the other lines and that it’s about religion
That is a great idea for a video man 👍👍 thanks!
16:39 There is no such thing as a flattened 4th interval.Its called a major third it is the defining note of a major chord.
Good point
This album wouldn't be it without Hoglan. The chorus double bass does it
1000% His drumming gives all the songs their intensity, If a mere mortal drummed on these songs it wouldnt be even close
I love Death, but the lyrics on some of his albums are pure, pseudo-philosophical wankery.
Hmm generally haters refer to things they lack knowledge on as wankery.. don’t think that’s what you are doing, but would be great to see some introspection as to why you feel that’s the case and examples of it.
@@hectorescobar9450 That's a fair enough comment, I am not sure if I have the time to break down the lyrics.
I'm in my late 40's. Death is my absolute favorite band. Chuck was a revolutionary writer. His lyrics are extremely deep on every song he wrote. 🤘
Edit: Do the song (See Through Dreams) by Death. It's fantastic how he put it together.
Someone made a synth wave cover album of Symbolic and it’s the greatest Halloween album ever
Damn have not heard of this
It bangs!
@@VARVIS_ the artist is called nitelight
