Shadow of Intent - The Heretic Prevails (REACTION!!) | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!

[@PotatoFaaaaace]

Man it's refreshing to see Ricky Gervais, Anthony Hopkins, and Ed Sheeran come together to enjoy some brilliant deathcore. So heartwarming ❤

[@drewgamezzz8482]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 now ill never unsee it lol. Tho I've always said Daz looks like Ricky lol.

[@teodorurucu9227]

Search Ben Duerr studio its a 23 sec clip of him doing that breakdoun without any editing. Its even more impressive since he records lows and highs together

[@itsTWIZY]

was waiting to see if someone commented this before me. Ben is such a monster!

[@kaiserdominion2678]

he is a fucking beast

Seeing the vocalist performing that breakdown in the studio was one of the most insane things I've ever seen. No cut/paste magic there.

Yes I've been waiting for this one

[@clitoralrosary9474]

The biggest difference from deathcore to death metal is the vocals. Deathcore vocalists are more versatile and use many more tones/techniques than death metal vocalists who tend to have one dominant monotone vocal. For example you very rarely hear high tones in death metal whereas in deathcore it is a component of almost every song. Another big difference is the emphasis on breakdowns & slams which are used much more frequently and often characterize entire songs.

[@ac-130fan]

Good response!

[@MarcosIx]

And deathcore has more chugging while death metal is more riffs

[@MarcosIx]

Josh derp seems ppl are agreeing with him soooo

[@ac-130fan]

@Josh derp a very bad comment? Man, it’s not the end of the world if your opinion isn’t the consensus. There is NO label to any music, it’s just art, but you can play semantics all day long if you please.

[@brentanton7466]

@Josh derp lmao I don't think you even know what Death Core and Death Metal are based off your comment 😂

[@lbwarrock1834]

distant - heirs of torment Left to Suffer - Loathe Motionless in White - immaculate Misconception Chelsea Grin - Eternal Nightmare Chelsea Grin - Confession For Today - Pariah For Today - For The Fallen Invent, Animate - Dark Invent, Animate - Nova these are definitely worth reacting to.

[@pvr7312]

smh everyone wants loathe and not forgiveness when id say forgiveness is like a genre breaking song and kind of insane

[@GustavoSilvaBM666]

Shadow of intent - The Gathering of All, feat Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) is another great song

[@g33kgaming22]

one of my fav bands as of recently, fist time i heard this song i was like whoa and that breakdown he hit all the different techniques in one breath. band is 100% insane!

[@themicrowavedave192]

If you want something that'll blow your heads off: Bound In Fear - The Rot Within (ft Alex Teyen of Black Tongue). It's by far one of the heaviest songs in existence, they're an English band too. Been loving the content guys!

[@MrSixxty13]

+ Alex Teyen from BT :D

@@MrSixxty13 That's exactly my opinion too. Unmatched in every area. For deathcore, my favourites are IA and Distant. Just perfection

[@Benobot99]

Agreed!! And "DISTANT - HEIRS OF TORMENT". One of the heaviest songs there is.

[@tacticoolvoda324]

Shadow of intent, The Catacombs (ft. Jason Evans & Dickie Allen) is definitely worth a listen.

[@sevenwebdeveloper]

First time watching a video of yours. I had no idea what your musical tastes were. Glad yous appreciate and you had some interesting thoughts on it. One of my most favourite bands, everything in their music is so good as one of you mentioned 😊

[@deanlovesy203]

Really happy you guys checked this song out. Ben is a beast and there is a video on KZbin of him tracking this song. It's very short but it shows just how good he is in studio. You should check it out for sure.

[@mitchellyoung7513]

Fun fact, the entire Reclaimer album is about Halo :) Same with their Primordial album.

[@nathanp1501]

Shadow of Intent "the Catacombs" ft Jason Evans and Dickie Allen

[@Duskwalker68]

Their best song!

[@akarbit3r111]

@@Duskwalker68 idk, The Gathering Of All ft. Aleksandr Shikolai is pretty solid as well. Two of the best low deathcore vocalists (imo) in one song

[@DUDEmuffins1]

Great choice! You guys should really consider starting a patreon! Also don’t forget METHWITCH!!! Shadow of Intent always a show stopper though. Cheers!

[@Death_metal_Dibby]

So happy you guys checked them out! Next song? Any fucking song! They don't have a bad one!

[@ShinmenGames]

Glad you guys got around to doing this one! Been requesting it for a while. If you're doing any repeats then some more Shadow of Intent or Fit For An Autopsy would be awesome. Keep up the good work! 🤘

[@anthonycantillo6569]

Gotta see the video of this dude doing theses vocals in the studio, insane. Best in the game.

[@zerozeeros]

Easiest way to seperate deathcore is the groove, death metal is all about relentless sounds Also i agree with the microwave dave Bound in fear is unreal especially given they are poms as well

[@simonlachance4083]

if had the chance to see them live and they sound like this live one day you should see them they are amazing

[@drewgamezzz8482]

I totally wish you guys would go back to reacting to metalcore/deathcore videos honestly. This is my fav type of music and was so nice having my favorite reaction channel listening to the music I love so much honestly. You guys should check out some bands like Motionless in White, Slaughter to Prevail, Asking Alexandria, Chelsea Grin, Attila (one of my favorite bands tho they've kinda become a meme lol), Brand of Sacrifice, Volumes, Whitechapel, etc.

[@Earl1403]

I still get chills during that breakdown

[@TheSadistNat1on]

Watch the clip of Ben doing these vocals live in the studio during recording, no bs!

[@Benobot99]

On their first 2 albums, their theme was Halo, yes, the video game series. In fact, their band name is named after a Covenant ship from the games.

[@brentanton7466]

One of my fav bands.

[@ktay7382]

Great reaction guys

[@macse7en]

YESSSSS MORE OF THIS BAND PLEASE

[@Zorbitron123]

You should check out Angelmaker, they're a six-piece Canadian deathcore band with two lead vocalists. Very poetic lyrically with heavy instrumentals My recommendations from them would be Day/Day or Radiance in the Light of a Dying Sun

[@Badgerman494]

Awesome reaction guys! If you liked this, my two favourites from this band are the Last Bastion, and Battle of the Maginot Sphere.

[@votten9238]

Banging my head with you guys, love it. Try STRANGLED - DEFECT in the near furture please.

[@Duskwalker68]

Awesome reaction guys! If you check out more of them, "Gravesinger", "Malediction" and "The Horror Within" have awesome videos! Also The "Catacombs" features Dickie Allen from Infant Annihilator!

[@littlefire1205]

deathcore is mainly known as deathcore because of the breakdowns in pretty much every deathcore song i guess lmao. also the fact that there's a range of vocals that most other metal genre's use but deathcore uses multiple different ones like in this one where he's used like 4 different kinds. you could also argue it's because of the speed as well, most all deathcore bands go REALLY fast.

[@jonathanzytkoskee9740]

Malediction is their best song in my opinion! Great video too!

[@clitoralrosary9474]

Signs of the swarm - Mouth Sewn Prophets Heaviest deathcore song ever.

[@Benobot99]

Not exactly... Still good though.

[@brent6132]

Now its time for Ben's other group Hollow Prophet. Scumprophet would be a good one because it features Dickie Allen from Infant Annihilator, or Infernal Cleansing, that song is just brutal.

[@MarcosIx]

Breakdowns and the chugging riffs makes it deathcore. Death metal is more guitar solos, maybe a breakdown, and more riffs with no chugging.

[@Jmvfc8117]

You’ve gotta check out their song Barren and Breathless Macrocosm!

[@Badgerman494]

My two favourite by them are "The Last Bastion" and "The Battle of the Maginot Sphere"

There’s no double tracking for the breakdown. (I will not rooooot. Bleh. And after) it’s tunnel throat which he’s mastered. There’s a video of him doing it in studio

Dude reclaimer, and primordial were amazing albums. Its honestly hard to compare the other 2 to melancholy. Melancholy has a more blackened death core sound with less relentless guitar playing, but has more chugs, and a different sound altogether, but primordial has some of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard. Check out the aftermath of jat-krula. Its insane. Their writing on mausoleum of liars is incredible, and both of those first albums are just great.

[@thawolf5921]

@@DJ-pp4mt All of it is awesome. I would say it's more polished in terms of mastering and recording. Composition is as well, but their earlier stuff is amazing. It's like "Hey which 10/10 album or song do I want to recommend." haha. Good points my dude.
