SHADOW OF INTENT - Blood in the Sands of Time feat. Chuck Billy (Official Music Video)

[@66Samus]

Another yummy track. Thank you gentlemen

[@driftaway]

sex!

[@alemutasa6189]

Sam, you have to cover them. It's time

[@krinkedsurface]

Underneath a sullen moon drum cover? Pleeeeeesss 🙏🏼🥶

[@adamedwards6032]

Ohhhh yurr

[@samholdsworth420]

O yurr?

[@leestuart38]

This band is operating at a whole different level than everyone right now. Fucking unreal

[@TylerGGTV]

They recognize the spiritual weakness of the planet, while still breeding violent energy that refuses to be withheld. We are beings. Let us be.

[@eggpod4567]

Eh, Vildhjarta definitely holds the thrown.

[@adamzebrowski1459]

check out recent archspire and inferi releases.....might make u want to eat ur words....but seriously this is a cool vid but I've just never been impressed with this band. Def better than their earlier stuff that I've heard.

[@TheLatterBand]

Chuck Billy is a sleeper vocalist. People forget albums like "Low" and "Demonic". This is great shit right here.

[@Tonjit41]

I don't understand how a band can put out so many beautiful bangers.

[@baldvale5418]

I can't get over just how good this is, Chuck Billy just sit's perfectly into it all.

[@gr8godeb]

he does

[@willcavendish5481]

4:00 on is just... insane. This whole album is incredible, but that part just hits so goddamn hard

[@OMGITSMEDUSTIN]

I remember Ben talking about this song being his fav one on the album. It’s def my 2nd fav song on their album! Amazing music video!

[@yg-dp7mo]

same following up behind the Elegy trilogy

[@emjaylongjohn5088]

What’s ur fav song of the album?

[@OMGITSMEDUSTIN]

@@emjaylongjohn5088 saurian king. Life of exile is a close 2nd. I love the lyrics of that song. How about yours?

[@OMGITSMEDUSTIN]

@@yg-dp7mo yeah man! Elegy II is just wow and how it connects to Elegy III is just phenomenal.

[@yg-dp7mo]

@@emjaylongjohn5088 definitely the Elegy trilogy it’s such a similar epic closer like Malediction which is my all time fav shadow song

[@stupidaccountmadeinchina406]

This ending combined with the animation is so intense and terryfying at the same time, they manage to depict how horryfying war is in just 1 minute. I can't even explain how much I appreciate this band on every single level.

[@stupidaccountmadeinchina406]

ALSO HOW THE FUCK THIS WHOLE SONG BUT ESPECIALLY IN 2:56 SOUNDS LIKE AN ACTUAL BOMB ATTACK

[@derrick7384]

Yeah hope for Ukraine 🇺🇦 They are suffering right now

[@moriyokiri3229]

@@derrick7384 Palestine has been suffering far worse for more than 70 years and no one gives a shit.

[@Stand1ngBear]

That is what I really love about them. The lyrics are so poetic and true to what is happening on the planet. This song feels like a musical embodiment of the terrors of war. If wars were fought with music instead of lethal armament, I think SOI would be the tsar bomb.

[@davidingraham1918]

4:00 one of the best blast sections I've ever heard

[@arthsarth4009]

Tragic music for our tragic days

[@PremonitionsOfTheAbyss]

Hell yeah, these boys have come so far. Evolving with each album and releasing constant bangers. Now they're touring with Cannibal Corpse! Wishing you lads all the best, thank you for everything.

[@robertp.6545]

Saw them perform earlier this week in Brooklyn with cannibal corpse, was a fantastic concert, absolutely insane

[@haxborn]

You mean devolving? Cannibal Corpse is a band from 1988, to sound more and more like them is the opposite of evolution.

[@PremonitionsOfTheAbyss]

@@haxborn im sorry but when did i or this band say/show that they sound like Cannibal Corpse? Sounds like you’re projecting my dude. I mentioned CC because they are still huge in the death metal scene and to be able to tour with them means a band has grown significantly. Think before commenting.

[@TimStAmour2]

Went to a show on this tour These guys opened the show strong

[@charlisalorello9078]

I saw them in May with Cannibal Corpse Lorna Shore Signs of the Swarm and a few other good ones I can’t express how awesome it was. Totally fed my soul

[@c71phzciienff]

lyrical art + musical art + visual art an all-around masterpiece. you guys never disappoint

[@Gardinoman41]

Perfect time to release

[@victorchepur9254]

Я услышал альбом еще до того, как он вышел, послушав слив со средним качеством, но уже тогда меня зацепил этот трек. Все тащатся от момента 4 минуте, а меня пробирает до мурашек на 1:11, особенно, когда Бен говорит, что звуки войны слышат и слепые, и больные, и старые, и молодые, и ДАЖЕ ДЕМОНЫ их слышат. Трек просто шедевр!

[@TheJordan75]

I want to see a drum playthrough of this song. Right at 4:02 is INSANE!

[@brentonstallan1386]

Absofuckinglutely

[@tannerwest6823]

It’s up now buddy. Just uploaded it 16 hours ago

[@gregdudley4579]

Unreal song. Phenomenal lyrics. 10/10 video. Hauntingly relevant today..

[@AlexNourse52]

4:00 best part, not only of the whole song. But the entire album. Possibly their whole discography dunno yet. But insanely brutal

[@garrettkrause4214]

This claymation is not fun claymation like I expected... this is brutal and so relevant.

[@SulphurBorne]

Not to mention very well done

[@___meph___4547]

So original... Blood, war, oil. Wow such insight.

[@Joejoes1276]

Everyone toalking bout 4:00 on up but 1:37 to 3:15 is God tier

[@ThePessimisticOptimist-gm4dj]

100% correct 🤘

[@trendmassacre8423]

Chuck Billy's death vocals fit right in with this song, which is why he is my favorite metal vocalist and Testament has been my favorite metal band since 1991!

[@ZemantiX]

I want to compliment Bryce's work on this album, he is such an incredible drummer, creative and spot on, with so much feel and passion, I love his playing and he fits the band perfectly. Hail to you Bryce

[@brycebutlerdrums]

Thank you so much 😭😭🖤

[@Conundrums._]

@@brycebutlerdrums What hand technique do you do for a blast that fast at 4:00? I’ve watched some playthroughs but haven’t seen THAT fast of a blast yet.

[@brycebutlerdrums]

@@Conundrums._ no special technique, just a combination of wrist and fingers!! 🖤

[@Conundrums._]

@@brycebutlerdrums classic. Great drum tracks, can’t wait to see y’all in Houston!

[@randybutler3779]

Amen! SO says his DAD

[@Theastrocody]

i cant believe yall got the LEGEND Chuck Billy on this! HELL YEAH!

[@treygreypaws3689]

Chuck Billy one of my favorites, he tends to always be down to do guest vocals. I remember he did it with Light This City too

[@arlesfrog6780]

Wow so original i love this kind of videoclips not just a performance of the band. This is art

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

This song is a banger, one of my favorites from the album, but this hits different today. A masterpiece as always.

[@ВасяВасин-э5ь1ж]

Давно уже ничего подобного не видел . А здесь видно , что была продана очень мощная творческая работа . В наше время , это редкость .

[@sixdeities7555]

Dope Art Direction for such an impactful song during hard times like now

[@ryanlathotep]

Was thinking the same...

[@TheJeskun]

This band don't need a label. A label need this band.

[@achillesamusic]

There Will Be Blood film intesifies, WHAT A BAND

[@Retheo]

What an insane piece! Kudos to Shayne for the incredible claymation, and kudos to Shadow of Intent for the killer track! Keep it up everyone!

[@drphdmd7064]

Thanks for reminding me what I loved about this type of music.

[@karenpritchard4886]

And that'd be an extremely awesome tour : TESTAMENT and SHADOW OF INTENT

[@Dontreadme]

Just in time

[@nerdyandstuff]

Perfect mix of prog metal and deathcore

[@thedefiant4196]

yes!

[@Metal4ever69]

Shadow of intent is revitalizing a sub genre of metal that I was beginning to think was growing to become stale and uninspired. I have been listening to these guys since 2017 and the level of growth I have seen has been amazing.

[@timmykephart]

All of this bands lyrics are like a movie I have to watch a couple times to fully understand. I like it

[@chrisgrubbs4911]

This is one of the best songs this band has done so far and one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@jonathanlemieux7698]

The HEAVY INSANITY at the 4:00 Mark is BEAUTIFUL! 💯🤘🏻

[@slim7520]

Favorite band and favorite animation style. Sick.

[@renzlucero6241]

So relevant on what's happening now..

[@narakhin3936]

Awesome work, reminds me of Tool's music videos back then. I love that style. :)

[@aaronchapman3]

I was just thinking this...

[@reddodoragon1279]

I love how this video is made by the same director, who did the music video for Ingesteds "Another Breath". And it kinda feels like a sequel xD. Very fitting! :D

[@Kill3r12341]

Very relevant song/album. Amazing work SOI

[@IAB-lj8mb]

The combination of the gutturals, frantic riffing and blast beat hit you like a train. Not that I expect less from this band though.

[@scorpion0498]

THIS NEEDS MORE VEIWS!!! I'm perplexed how this has not popped off. Insanely good stuff

[@xeno3703]

The clay animation is one of the best and most disturbing ones I have ever seen. This song and its visuals are an absolute masterpiece!

[@MattJFilms]

Another amazing song that came out recently with a similar music video is Cognizance "Syntheticus II - Refuge." Super badass with David Diepold on the drums :D

[@stevieboiser2304]

Soooo sick! The scenes where they are being pulled through the pipeline is so eerie. Well done fellas!

[@Duskwalker68]

Thanks for all the amazing music guys!

[@dennispetrat5152]

Dieses oooohhh bei 1.40 schickt mich immer wieder weg. Hammer Band

[@weswatsonsrecedinghairline5304]

Great album, great song, great band, great lyrics, and great video.

[@daveed_5719]

Can't wait to see you guys next month

[@danieldraper4005]

Yall never dissapoint

[@shadowdroid776]

4:01 I have been on the hunt trying to find this song again for this specific part. I love it so much.

[@ytbr3383]

Brutal, unique and amazing! I could comment this on like all of their songs tbh cause SOI have been putting out amazing tunes since their start. Even though the albums have slightly different sound, they never dissapoint and are amazing in their own way.

[@roccolund6760]

this song has now made my day

[@haithom3752]

oh my ... after a hard week something is worth finally .. thank you guys .. the best thing happened in my is knowing you .. keep it up .. your creativity never ends ..that's what keeps people like me happy .

[@therichardnogginproject9012]

Chuck Billy always delivers!

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

Not only Chuck Billy(Testament) killed his guest spot, 4:01 is just mental. A symphonic chaotic way to end the song.

[@tripzymc]

10 months later this is still my fav track

[@brianconley9095]

Always a slammer. Cant wait for the tour.

[@adrianrmz7389]

I need to see you all Shadow Of Intent Power live, in Mexico!!! Come please!!!

[@CameronLosch]

dear god this is sick

[@HiThereFaceHere]

What a day to drop this video

[@zmike9831]

anyone want to talk about how fking amazing this animation is?

[@pokemonmandude222]

Shadow of Intent never fails, and neither does stop motion animation!

[@dirtybird4976]

The drummer is absolutely amazing. Everything is but damnnnnn the drummer really fits perfectly

[@philoujs]

The blast beats part at 4:00 makes so much sense. *the year is 2341. Music history teacher : Kids, let me introduce you to the concept of blast beats. Here is the perfect track which illustrates the necessity to use it. See, blast beats are like spices : some like it damn hot, some like it balanced - this song is an excellent example of how well balanced can blast beats be in the Metal genre*

[@jacobfinley7321]

These guys are too damned good. Songwriting, musicianship, timing, composition... it's all there.

[@grimjack8729]

The whole album is a masterpiece! These bros never disappoint! 👏

[@x94e21]

Amazing video and song

[@x94e21]

I'm calling this early, album of the year

[@nozeboreview8896]

this video with the song remindme a lot austrian death machine vibes

[@joshuacem2827]

Hearing them perform this live in Berlin this January was just incredible. They performed tracks from all albums since Primordial, and that one, the coming fire and malediction were my favourites. God it was great. My first concert of this kind and started right off with bang!

[@vxdra]

easily one of my favourites from the album and shayne minott's videos are pure art, incredible

[@wahhnopfp]

Gave me Ingested - Another Breath vibes with both the claymation and the clean-ish(?) sections with Chuck. Well played, great video great song SoI

[@GustavoSOAP13]

Esse clipe é sensacional! Parabéns a todos os envolvidos.

[@RobBoss757]

Holy shit

[@jtowey14]

Jesus christ talk about breakdowns of the year. This track is a strate banger, fucking love Shadow of Intent.

[@tahmedshawon4247]

This is incredible 💥💥 Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@jeffcassell1236]

1:25 wow.

[@ExodusProto33]

Really reminds me of cattle decap but if it was a bit more melodic, this is really good. Love this band alot.

[@TheNigotube]

What a time to drop this banger.. Ben knew what was up

[@ErikJason_]

Brutal and relentless without a doubt! Epic banger from start to finish. I'm impressed on how good this song is and the music video is simply astonishing. 🎧

[@Timichaud]

My god 4:02 wasn't expected! Thank you for the song. So much a nice band

[@OxMoch]

Pure art, totally beauty !!!

[@keenosleek5425]

"Always mobilized ,eager to pulverize"!❤❤

[@Prof.Pwnalot]

Nice video to accompany a great song, album is super solid

[@AJD00M]

This is so relevant with what's going on in the world right now. Fucking crazy.

[@MrGirthzilla]

I've been following this band for a while. a) Because of Halo but also because b) I love this style of metal. Having the luxury of the Clone Hero community charting all their songs and being able to play this song daily on Expert on Clone Hero is pure bliss. Thank you SOI for making this masterpiece. Easily the best song of all time followed by The Dreaded Mystic Abyss.

[@LaFlemmecommeJamais]

the animation work is amazing the rhythm is magnificent and the riffs

[@karenpritchard4886]

Extremely awesome song feat my 2nd favorite metal band of all time Testament!!!! I just love how METAL bands collaborate w/other forms of metal bands and create crushing awesome good brutal music

[@el_wama]

Cant believe I’m going to be able to see them, whitechapel, and as I lay dying live. It’s gonna be a great year.

[@M2SLAM_I_Am]

Really wanna see a video of Bryce doing a drum playthrough of this song as well. Love watching the passion on that dudes face as he just absolutely fucking goes off, he always looks so damn happy!

[@tannerwest6823]

It’s up now. Meinl uploaded it early today

[@metalsinnsation4106]

Every album this band has produced is magnificent! Truly masters of there craft

[@XDXD-nl5po]

best moment to relsease

[@funpinkgnome]

One of the three best tracks on the album, love it

[@tjspaulding5600]

This is how you transcend deathcore the right way.

[@hq8971]

Greatest metal to be produced this year my guys!!!!! Keep it up you're the spear head of this generation!!!!

[@wendell2809]

A drum cover/playthrough video of this too maybe?? Lol :) this is absolutely sick!!!! 💯
