25. December 2007 - After so much time spent in silence Symbolic is proud to announce the following great news.
Being unable to carry on with the expected duties within the band, bass player Ado has parted ways with Symbolic. Band proudly welcomes Dario Turcan, a bass player from Osijek death/thrash band War-Head, to the line-up. Symbolic and Dario were close friends for a long time and this decision was natural as Dario proved to have outstanding skills and will to fulfill this position. Dario is already recording bass lines for the Symbolic’s long awaited album.
Symbolic will be featured on Melodic Metal Worldwide compilation CD which is to be released in February 2008 by Shaded Moon Entertainment label. Don’t turn away will be included on the compilation featuring bass tracks recorded by new bass player Dario. For more information please visit: www.myspace.com/shadedmoonentertainment
Symbolic is also in talks about release of their long awaited album Dreamend through Shaded Moon Entertainment. More news to follow soon once recording of the bass lines is completed.
Stay Symbolic!!!
3. September 2007 The following is the Press
Release regarding Symbolic's "Dreamend" album release Since the Symbolic's new
album entitled "Dreamend" was scheduled to be released in February
2007 through Walk Records and it has not been released to date, we would like
to explain reasons beyond this frivolous evolution of events. During the end of year
2006 members of Symbolic agreed with Walk Records representative to release
album in early 2007. It was responsibility of the band to deliver fully
designed cover by the end of November 2006 and mastered recording by the end
of January 2007 so the CD can be finalized and multiplied by the end of
February 2007 as it was promised by Walk records representative and
advertised on Walk records web page. The band did not count on the exact date
since sometimes things may go out of control but band had hoped to have CD
finalized within month or so from the scheduled date. Band was also told at
the end of 2006 that the covers for entire range of copies were produced and
ready. Band and record label had a provisional contract where they agreed on
all aspects of good partnership but it was never signed. Since February 2007 band
members haven't heard from Walk records representatives. Last time they spoke
together was on the submission of mastered CD where everything seemed to be
going as scheduled. Walk records representative mentioned some financial
problems within the company but still promised to carry out the deal. As the time went by,
album release slowly lagged more and more behind the tolerant time span. Band
members tried to contact Walk records several times during the last couple of
months with no luck at all. Finally at the end of last month one of the band members
managed to speak to representative of the label and was shocked to find out
the truth. Head of the Walk records label decided to quit the business and he
handed over the label to third person. He did not contact band members at all
nor did he inform new owner about the agreement with Symbolic. Band members
contacted new owner and realized that it would be a completely new deal with
new owners and that album would not see the light of day until next year at
earliest due to financial matters. At this time Symbolic
will try to reach an agreement with current Walk records management but will
also be forced to look for a deal elsewhere. In the meantime band decided to
improve quality of the actual recording by remixing, remastering and by even
re-recording of some parts in hope that they could have a better end product
and find a better deal for the album. One entire song will be posed online as
soon as the bend does reproduction of material. The band would also like
use this opportunity to apologize to all the fans and friends for this delay
of the album release. Stay tuned for some more news as the bend does its best
to release the record. |

24. February 2007 Symbolic decided to make some last minute changes
regarding mastering of their brand new recording entitled Dreamend. Band wanted to make
sure that the final sound of release is as best as possible especially since
this is a debut release. Release date was scheduled for February 2007 but
since those mastering changes took some time, actual release date may be
postponed for a while. Exact release date will be made public very soon. You
can check out two re-mastered songs from the new album in our media section. Those sound improvements would not be possible without
our very good friend Igormeister, singer from death/thrash band War-Head! So
thanks Igor and we promise to do our next full length album with you behind
the mixing console!!! |

12. December 2005 Symbolic regrets to announce split up with singer
Amna. She did not take part on a concert held in Club Palma on 6th of October
2005 and will not take part in recording session. Reasons for parting ways
lay mainly in two facts, first one is that she did not show enough interest
for what the band is doing and second that she did not accept any kind of
responsibility for her obligations as a band member.
Recording session of second full length studio material
is in its finishing stages. There are only a couple of vocal tracks left to
lay and the band will take on to a mixing of material. Some pictures from the gig held in Palma Club are
available online in Gallery
section. |

material is still underway. All bass lines have been finished recently, and
bend has moved the equipment to a private house for recording of rhythm
guitars which is currently taking place. Some images from drums and bass
recording sessions are available in Gallery
section. |

03. August 2005 Halfway through the recording
session Symbolic took a break to play live on Soda Open Air Festival on 29th

17. June 2005 Symbolic has finally made
decision on where to record new studio material. After considering all
