      Very rare. No longer available at a reasonable price. The vinyl is fine and recommended for lovers of old school Death Metal.

        This album hit hard when I first heard it in 1995. No one could match Gene's speed, technique, and creativity on the drum set. I think Symbolic has held up well in the almost 29 years since. Still a Top 10 (maybe Top 5?) metal record for me.

        Jim Morris captured great performances which really shine on this pressing. A surprisingly wide sound stage for a metal album. Bass guitar is audible even in the more phrenetic sections! The white vinyl makes it difficult to find the start of each track, but really.. Who needs to skip tracks on Symbolic?

        I am surprised how pricey this has become. This was a $20 record all day on Amazon when I picked it up.

          Wow, i'm really lucky to have snagged this for AU$75 in mid-2022 from Underground Records
          It felt a bit expensive at the time, but I justified it cause most discogs listings were around the AU$100 range.
          Look at these prices now!! At least i'm listening to mine..

            the most warped record i own. which is unfortunate since the quality itself sounds phenomenal. a classic metal album and their best release, imo.

              Way too classic of an album for a reissue to fetch this price. C’mon Roadrunner, give the fans a repress.

                This a great sounding record, but there are some loud pops during the acoustic outro to Perennial Quest. Anyone else have the same problem?

                  Anyone know if either this pressing or the black vinyl will be getting repressed in the future?

                    Sounds phenomenal. Love this pressing. Packaging is great. Heavy 180 g vinyl too

                      My version sounds and looks great. The LP is completely white, no color contamination, and it sounds great, no pops or clicks.
