SHADOW OF INTENT - Flying The Black Flag - Reaction / Review

[@ryansadauskis]

if The Migrant and this song are any indication of their upcoming album, it is going to be a banger

[@Furykidxxx]

The Migrant was absolute dross.. This feels miles ahead of it!

[@boko1410]

Ben himself actually commented on a r/Deathcore post for this song and said that it's one of the lighter tracks on the album. Make of that what you will. xD His username is BD_SOI94 if you want to look it up.

[@dominicwalker2429]

Ben has said this is one of the least heavy songs from the new album... . IDK if we are ready.

[@seanstreck2669]

That opening gave me some vibes of Orbit Culture and I mean that in the best way.

[@mathewlombardo3876]

all the more reason those two should tour together

[@kevintrout]

Shadow of Intent is the band that first got me into deathcore. These guys absolutely bang.

[@huntermengel2683]

I am feeling so far 2024 is another year we are getting spoiled in the metal scene again. Lots of really solid tracks and album drops this year

[@galacticriminalx]

@@huntermengel2683 TRUTH! 🤘😝

[@LasTortugasAzules]

SOI has become such a hard band to categorize. Are they still deathcore? Straight up death metal? Tech death? There's even some melodeath influence in there. They manage to make changes to their sound without ever losing the heart and soul of who they are. Just an amazing band

[@Karma-Code]

Symphonic death Tech metal core???? 😂

[@oscarcastillo1559]

Dude, I think that since Melancholy or Elegy, they are more a death metal band than a deathcore

[@ElM3gax]

I Will Call It "Blackened Death Core"

[@dt1595]

​@@ElM3gax def has a black metal sound to it. Nice

[@Tyius420]

Blake from Disembodied Tyrant was one of the producers on this

[@tommyjcarpenter]

Friggin HECTIC. Also the riff definitely has some children of Bodom vibes!

[@williammotionless]

Ben is the GOAT

[@RoadRunner217]

Best song from them yet. Perfect combination of literally all their albums. They keep refining and perfecting their own sound!

[@axdwy]

Blake Mullens cooked with the production too. His sound matches SOI so well. Hope they continue to work togehther.

[@kingrico7909]

I've seen Chris Wiseman 3X with Currents. We were talking after the show and he had a SOI jacket on. Next time SOI comes around my way, I gotta check them out!

[@RavenousBr]

The best deathcore band! Never desapoint

Lol Kardavox gonna have a field day with this one vocally 🤣

[@DarKSpiritAU]

Absolutely loved this, need more now! Give us a new album surely 😆

[@easybeat333]

Cant reiterate your thoughts enough. Never ever let you down!!

[@evanblake5252]

Already one of my top 5 favorite SOI songs ever.

[@weirdodingogaming]

Saw them perform it before it came out in Germany and this song is BRUTAL live!! I'm sure theyre not going to be taking it off the setlist anytime soon.

[@BERSERKERKINGREVIEWS]

SOOO FN HYPED! One of my top favorite bands. Leeeettttsss goooooooo!!

[@AngusJo]

Personally, the sound reminds me of the album Melancholy. As if they had mixed the styles of the last two albums.

[@rafaelan5126]

Best Deathcore EVER!

[@Chris_D123]

damn, going to have to check out more of their music.

[@parkourandfreerunning4214]

Check out Malediction, Barren and Breathless Macrocosm and From Ruin We Rise, they are 3 of their best ones

You quite literally will not find a bad song by them. It's quite insane actually

[@dschlopes2734]

They are just absurdly good.

[@darrengee936]

the drumming is so fun. was grooving hard!

[@cameronmorales9968]

Man I found this song about three days ago as well and was like dang! This is going hard asf. It’s on repeat for the next two weeks

[@evanblake5252]

They're back with a vengeance with this one.

[@haemmertime]

Certain aspects of it remind me of the Synestia/Disembodied Tyrant EP, where they were part of as well. Their level of skill in writing and composition is outstanding, I don't any song they have been a part of, which feels like something is missing. Everything just comes together perfectly.

[@JonathanBaumann-zf9gw]

That was awesome shadow of intent, never disappoints

[@RPNocando]

Crushing production! It's like Lorna Shore level of greatness.

[@coast.cutter7552]

Old Lorna shore yes, new Lorna sucks ballz.

[@nicknelson6583]

shadow of intent cant put out a bad song... ben sounds literally like the album at his live shows... i didnt really care for lorna shores album so i have to put shadow as the undisputed kings of harsh vocals!!

[@Josh_E]

It's so fuckin heavy I'm smiling and laughing, I love it!

[@Mr.Babadook]

So underrated!! Badass song and reaction.

[@JGAvila90]

This new Shadow of Intent is awesome. Didn't really care for Elegy and Melancholy was okay but this shit feels like something from Primordial / Reclaimer.
