Shadow of Intent is my all-time favorite band! Their first 2 albums are Halo based! Theyre symphonic deathcore btw

[@mr.gilmore8804]

Same here been trying to get him to listen to them for a couple months 😂

[@againstalltyrants9001]

I was gonna ask if they were named after the ship "Shadow of Intent" from Halo lol

[@abyss5469]

Same! I love them to death

[@galacticriminalx]

My first intro to Symphonic Death. Ur gonna have a day listening to these mothertruckers 🔥🤘😈🤘🔥

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

I’m so excited to jump more into them bro, I had a great first impression 🤘

[@matesas965]

Symphonic deathcore.

[@Varxiva]

It's perfect that this was the first song of theirs that you heard lol. Great reaction and analysis. Shadow of Intent is one of my favorites.

[@Duskwalker68]

Great reaction! SoI is one of the best bands in all of Deathcore, Ben is an S Tier vocalist like Dickie Allen or Alex Terrible! He did the entire breakdown in one take! If you check out more of them these are all dope: The Catacombs (Ft. Dickie Allen, Jason Evans), The Forsaken Effigy, Malediction, Cthonic Odyssey.

Nice mr.pickles profile pic god i loved that show 😂 and i love shadow of intent saw em live in cleveland🔥

[@100nisti5]

@@z240m3 haha thx, i remember like its yesterday when i saw the lair episode the first time and was laughing my ass off :'D yeah shadow of intent was my gateway to kinda more "core" ish music. Got familiar also with signs of the swarm and mental cruelty and damn they are good 👌🏻

[@jujudelavallee8181]

Brand of sacrifice - Demon King Brutal deathcore, with some good innovation in their last album.

[@Snorlaxative91]

My favorite deathcore band next to Lorna Shore. Would recommend the song „Malediction“ next. Lots of symphonic vibes

[@mitchellyoung7513]

All time favorite band. Got me into this blackened era of deathcore. Plus Halo kicks ass so it's a plus.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

I was impressed! Looking forward to more shadow 🤘

[@mitchellyoung7513]

@@SeanStaxxMusic For me Reclaimer is my favorite album from them. It's kind of a middle of the album song, but The Gathering of All is my favorite off the album. Keep it up man, I'll be here :)

[@Badgerman494]

@@SeanStaxxMusic I would recommend "The Tartarus Impalement" I'd also recommend having the lyrics open so you get the full power of the song. It is beyond belief.

@@Badgerman494 it's a outstanding song

[@99defense]

Another great song by another great band. Good choice my dude.

[@reneschneider4740]

This band is unique for me. I have found that regardless of my opinion of any of their songs at first listen I eventually enjoy listening to all of them for different reasons. If you want something new from them check out 'From Ruin We Rise' its very good.

[@Justin-nq6kf]

When you hear a low and high together its just 2 separate layered vocals

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

That’s what I thought initially but apparently there’s a vocal technique that makes it sound like 2 voices. Idk if that’s what’s going on here or not

[@cashmoney8060]

@@SeanStaxxMusic tunnel throat is what ur thinking of it can be used with lows,highs and mids, basically two tones the normal scream and the hollow tunnel tone which is created by putting ur tongue against ur bottom row of teeth and curling it

[@ThcBanaman]

Still a legendary song!

[@davidiobrando]

I saw a comment that perfectly describes this song and album. This is what it sounds when Halo meets death core.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Yes!

[@danielteigland9490]

yes please to more of this :D "The Tartarus Impalement"

[@hector_lima]

Woow! Finally my favorite song! Nice video bro pd: im waiting for a react with your mate again!! 💥

[@jmarth523]

By going back to this song and band what you are seeing is the evoloution and prominence of symphonic and blackened touches in the genre taking hold

[@kirsh2036]

I'm not a big fan of all time growling but this has a great musicality, and I'm in. Surprised myself having chills. 😮 🎶🎧 Great piece of music. ❤️

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Right?! Such a great piece of music

[@KindOldRaven]

Most of us actually start out that way. The extreme vocals are usually an acquired taste, which sometimes turns into fascination when you realize how incredibly difficult it can be to actually be versatile in using such vocals (or to do so without instantly destroying your vocal structures). I only listened to the heavier stuff in metal and rock because of the guitars. Later came to appreciate the extreme vocals as well, but not all of them. I understand a growl or grunt here and there for ''effect or texture'' but other than that I want some enunciation as well ;p

[@Fez135]

Yes bro!

[@starcrAT1]

5:08 stankface activated

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Haha that’s when you know the song really slapping

[@SlamFM36]

That breakdown at the end always makes my skin crawl too haha. Sounds absolutely nasty

[@Voldrani]

"I'm expecting a drop". LoL Got you covered.

[@gilbertj93]

this, this is what ive been waiting for. so much yes

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Way more intense than I thought it was gonna be! Very impressed 🤘

[@KABOOMFIN]

Great reaction and analysis. I would say The Heretic Prevails is Shadow of Intent's version of To The Hellfire. They got the crazy showcase-ish breakdowns and vocals that punch you in the face. Then there's their newer stuff like "Underneath A Sullen Moon", which dialed down the brutality a little. I would compare it to Lorna Shore's "And I Return to Nothingness".

[@mr.gilmore8804]

I know I’ve said this too many times but you Should do The Tartarus impalement next, it’s a little long but it’s a masterpiece lol. You won’t be disappointed. Oh and he did that break down in one take there’s a video of it.

Oooo I do love melody

[@tzeenneth403]

Shadow of Intent - "Melancholy" album has lots of symphonics. Great reaction tho!

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Have to check it😈 appreciate you

[@spitz5183]

Check out God the Animal by In Gloom for the heaviest breakdown possibly ever.

[@Oubaama]

BTW the Drummer is the legendary Anthony Barone who has also played for Babymetal in the last few years.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

👀🤯

[@ethangarrison4265]

Not anymore, their current drummer is Bryce Butler, ex drummer of The Faceless i believe

[@하킴-메탈]

Yep, anthony left to drum for Beneath The Massacre fulltime

Brand of sacrifice - demon king! More heavier breakdown ;-)

[@cashmoney8060]

I recommend Checking out bens other band/project hollow prophet and the song infernal cleansing, also melancholy is a must (also they released a cover and a new song)

[@GabbaGruba]

Please relact to Dir En Grey - Vinushka 🤘 but it has to be the live Version. There is one with english subs. You wont regret it!!

[@idique1]

You should check out Demon King by Brand of Sacrifice. You wanna talk about breakdowns giving you chills. Good God.
