Shadow Of Intent - "Intensified Genocide" | ROADIE REACTIONS

[@metalhead82891]

Being friends with the band members, I can confirm they ARE putting out a new album, but that’s all that I can say.

[@TankTheTech]

You sir are a legend. 🤘

[@baseballtigar]

I feel like we are running out of words to express Ben.

[@the_gpatch6933]

Bro their new drummer, Bryce, is a beast. He is also a drum instructor, and the "pain face" is also the pleasure face 😅. Seriously, the dude LOVES what he does. I recommend checking out him play this song as a drum playthrough. He has a face of pure joy playing. Would love to see your reaction in it as well perhaps? 😁 Great reaction as always!

[@TankTheTech]

I’ve already watched that video so many damn times and it makes me so happy. He’s gotta be the happiest drummer in metal.

[@DenisWalther]

Melancholy might still be my most listened to album in 2021, so I cannot blame you. It simply is a masterpiece. And so is the new single for me.

[@robdurfee6861]

Fancy meeting you here Denis!

[@DenisWalther]

@@robdurfee6861 Oh hey there!

[@chrisscott820]

[@crackerjack1827]

2 way tie between Melancholy and immortal for me both game changing albums....and i return to nothingness is just an EP so its not in the list calm down people

[@ahmdmaged]

You nailed it with Alex - Ben comparison here. The thing is, appearance is helping Alex who looks like a Russian mafia assassin, while Ben looks more like a high school kid 😂. That being said, Ben is the best growler in metal music, period.

[@pasqualesch5063]

Shadow Of Intent is just transforming into a pure Death Metal band and I love it.

[@scottwest2310]

I still listen to melancholy once a week. I will never get tired of it. Maaterpiece

[@Beardus_Maximus]

Ben Duerr’s a special talent for sure, don’t feel bad for your analysis cause it’s dead on lol. Funny enough, you want more Shadow of Intent and they just released a cover of Lamb of God’s “Laid to Rest”, but it’s just a visualizer. Hopefully an album comes soon man, I need more of these guys too.

Dude, I listened to it earlier and it's so damn good!

Awesome reaction Tank \m/ Ben's vocals are really evolving. HIs vocals in this song totally sound like he's really comfortable with. Absolute banger of an song. I have this in my playlist since they announced it on their twitter page. Can't wait to see them live :)

[@PamelaAndrea1989]

This song is just another masterpiece. It's not only the music, it's the intensity, the build-ups, the symphonic elements, his insane vocals. God I'm such a fangirl😆 I can not wait to see these guys live🙌

[@KreshDraven6]

What amazing year for metal ! Another banger by these guys, really hope that we will get a new album soon

[@MrTremereregent]

Still looking forward to a gear breakdown for Archspire - Golden Mouth of Ruin. It's a full music video too, so plenty of gear to check out.

[@seemoney4038]

What a ridiculous track. Banger from start to finish, thanks for the react!

[@biertje1977]

Holy Sh#t what a great band, nice to found out new bands like this way. thanks for that. keep it up Tank

[@NippoN2kpp]

Bryce is such a good drummer! I started following after he was doing live shows with Contrarian! Great vid Tank!

[@evokenzyklon5026]

That was great man! 🤘😁🤘

[@rosswoodland6449]

I love finding new music and bands to check out from reactions channels, and your videos, as a musician myself, are super refreshing. I get to learn some gear info that has always been super intimidating as a drummer. Great video man, thank you for my first listen to this band. I'm going to check them out. Bear Down

[@billtbodger]

Really enjoying this one Tank, it is very melodic in places which I like as it breaks it up. Big love Bro 🦇🤘

[@rickardbengtsson4732]

This was just so amazing gooood! So damn talented band, and i just love it big time!

[@LuxTenebrae]

Heavy Dethklok vibes with those pinches though!

[@alexwolffe7805]

Seems like you fell for this song as much as I did! It's a twist in the death metal part of symphonic deathcore in Shadow of Intent, as "Melancholy" is a more black metal part. Love your videos and reactions, man.

[@TobikunOuO]

Because they are done with deathcore.

[@lolarae7412]

You look really Blown away in the thumbnail :D Can't wait for the reaction!!

[@Zack-vn7dt]

I love that And I Return to Nothingness is your background song lol

[@SGTBlain]

Yesss, finally. Been waiting for this one. Shadow of Intent have grown on me since i first heard them in 2019. One of the best bands i’ve ever heard. I have been listening to metal, mostly death and black, for a long time (since mid 90’s) and i must say, Ben’s voice is one of the best i have ever heard. He keeps getting better and better. I also love with Soi how they work as a band, as one unit. And they are so damn good! I also agree to the point you made when comparing Ben with Alex. I think Ben’s voice are more matured. He master his proffession! Song keeps growing, read somwhere that this song and lyrics touch the darkest corners of humanity. ”The blade unjust, lost control. Into the furnace, into the hole!” And also, as a treat for you Tank, they just released a new video. A cover on Lamb of Gods Laid to Rest. Please do a review on that one aswell!! It’s super nice! Rock on brother! V.G. 🤘🏻

[@TankTheTech]

I’ve listened to it several times. Absolutely rips!

[@SGTBlain]

@@TankTheTech …man i keeps coming back! This song is so damn brutal. Lyrically and musicwise. I’ve been floored by Lorna Shore for a while since their last release, but Shadow of Intent touch my most inner emotions! I’m really looking forward to their future releases. They are aging like a fine wine, or a great whisky on a barrel, if you may! Again, great review, content and atmosphere in your videos! Please interview Ben Duerr!

[@beardandbelly6003]

Good choice Tank. This hits hard. I like the way how open minded you switch to different Metal Genres in your Clips. Keep on🔥

[@TobikunOuO]

They are now tech/symphonic death metal

[@Xebtria]

Holy shit I am hearing of this band for the first time and goddamn they are good. right down my alley.

[@KALIReactions]

Haha did you get this from us when i linked them? Good reaction dude :D

[@saltuidedste5435]

Thank you for this great reaction . I just love how you pay attention to every single details. that's makes your reaction videos unique and so interesting . Thanks a lot...keep it up

[@ryanjs20]

Don’t worry man I am in the same boat of not finding out about this song till weeks after it released. Kardavox had a video on it and I was like hey I never heard that song before and looked into it then went to your channel to see if I just missed you doing a video. So I figured you would be doing one haha. Melancholy was my introduction to these guys too and quickly made them become one of my favorite bands last year. Under a Sullen Moon was the song I heard first and it was wonderful. I have your same feelings on this song. Much heavier death metal feel to it. Can’t wait for their next album.

[@ryanjs20]

I don't want to jinx anything but I think these guys are too talented to miss on an album. I also think they've grown and improved on each album. This song was much more heavy death metal oriented kind of like in the vein of Nile or Deicide or bands like them..but still had that blackened symphonic sound that Shadow of Intent brings. The only thing is it leaves me wanting more haha.

[@patfix]

Wasn't the biggest fan of Shadow of Intent, but this song is one of my favourite singles of '21 haha. Loving the riffs and grooves. Edit; since you were talking about the drummer, there is a drum play-through on KZbin. And the drummer has the biggest grin on his face the whole way through, it's hilarious haha! Check it out!

[@TankTheTech]

I’ve watched that video so many times now. He may be one of my favorite drummers now. Hahaha

[@murphyjay9084]

man you nailed this. great job as always!

[@murphyjay9084]

and also all the pinch harmonics kinda remind me of early red chord stuff.

[@TankTheTech]

Good call on Red Chord!

[@nachomansandyravage2346]

This is just....it's just....so damned good. Ben is a legend for sure

[@Vonnegutized]

Some deathcore is nice from time to time. In my opinion, Ben is the best vocalist in the genre, perfect breath control, low pitch, accents. Again, I recommend the newest singles by Rivers of Nihil and Aviana. They are smaller bands, worthy of bigger recognition. Greetings from Poland

[@TobikunOuO]

They aren't deathcore anymore.

[@igor.meh.design]

@@TobikunOuO they envolved into something beyond of deathcore .. can we called deathbeyondcore?

Tank, Love the DOWN shout out… great band!!! 25 years since NOLA came out. You should check that album out again in your spare time on vinyl… it’s pretty dang good…

Oh yeah, I feel like they are the perfect blend of death metal and deathcore at this point. Already loved their last release. Pretty interesting about the bass as well! Looks so lovely.

[@TobikunOuO]

Except Ben has stated that he and the rest of band are done with deathcore.

@@TobikunOuO Well, it's just my perception. Call it what you will. I love it. :-)

Dude Bryce is such a great and talented drummer he loves what he does. Much hometown love for this guy man

[@TobikunOuO]

They are now a death metal band.

[@cowmark67]

Awesome reaction. This song was super cool. I've only heard the other songs you and Chase reacted to from them and enjoyed them but didn't love them especially when in that one song they do a super long breakdown with like 6 different vocal styles in it. This song on the other hand was awesome. Also, it seems like this song is airing on the side of symphonic death metal, like Fleshgod Apocalypse, as apposed to a song like The Heretic Prevails, which sound to me more like Dimmu Borgir style symphonic black metal. Either way it did make me want to check out more. On a side note, since Leprous' new album wasn't available to listen to on KZbin I finally got around to listening to Lost Souls by Caskets and you were right. That album is amazing. It sounds like if you mixed Architects with OneRepublic and that's awesome since I love both of those bands.

[@MetalZoned]

Cool part with the verse where they have a mid tempo slam and then go into that chorus. Nice blend of styles with a nod to older influences then modern stuff

[@garrettlampman8101]

Who knows when they will drop more music, they released Underneath A Sullen Moon a year and a half before releasing Melancholy so we will see! Lol. Love the channel man

[@Vredesbyrd666]

Their long hair was the first thing I noticed xD Tank, did you know that Chris has another band besides Shadow of Intent and Currents? Or more likely a project called Our Eternity, it's Chris and Fit For a Kings Ryan Kirby. They only released two songs so far, both worth checking out!

[@TankTheTech]

Didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up!

[@zeckjason]

Seeing these guys in March with Cannibal Corpse and Whitechapel! If I may, “LET’S GOOO!”

[@bassehellgren6203]

I will probably never click the dislike on your reactions. I may not click like but to dislike would be .. i dunno..saying that your opinion of it and your knowledge is wrong. Everyone is allowed to have different opinions about stuff and thats ok, but to hit dislike just coz you dont share someones opinion is just stupid. Also the facts you always stick in there are always spot on. Love your channel. Keep it up \m/

[@chrisscott820]

Ben duerr has said on his personal facebook that they are working on new music

[@KennonRude]

Love the reaction Tank! A side project that Ben started Hollow Prophet is a super group consisting of course Ben, Jack SImmons of Slaughter to Prevail/Acrania, and Austin Archey of Lorna Shore(Lukka Vezzosi was formerly the drummer) Two songs that stick out that show off Ben's vocal prowess would be Infernal Cleansing OR ScumProphet ft Dickie Allen. Also, if you haven't checked out Acrania, I would highly suggest it as Luke Griffin is one of the most underrated vocalists in the game. The song Exterminate the Liberated is damn good!

[@TankTheTech]

WHAT?! How have I not heard of any of this?!

[@KennonRude]

@@TankTheTech Well now you know and look forward to a reaction ;)

[@sebastiankappler9474]

[@하킴-메탈]

Anthony's is actually a part of Beneath The Massacre! He's just a session musician for the Kami Band

[@TankTheTech]

True, but I'm sure touring with BabyMetal put a huge damper on the time he had available for Shadow of Intent.

[@하킴-메탈]

@@TankTheTech oh definitely not denying that, wish I could've seen more videos with Anthony as the drummer but hey, we got Bryce and thats all that matters🤘

[@versistversist1517]

No way! You're objectively right about the vocals trolol XD. But in all honestly, I completely agree 100%, and my hot-take comparison would be Lorna Shore. No shade to Lorna, they're excellent at what they do, and Will is outstanding. But to me personally, Ben is on another level. His skill with his voice and his capacity to articulate and enunciate impresses me on the same level that the instrumentalist's skill at their instruments impresses me.

[@RSDemonof907]

I hear that lorna shore in the background I love it.

[@thegreatdestroyerr]

I hear that low-key Lorna in the background! Sounds like my crib the past few weeks Also, SoI kicks ass. This song is incredible.

[@TobikunOuO]

Except Shadow have switched to tech/symphonic death metal, they are done with deathcore.

[@SquatchViking]

I watched a video of another guy doing a drum cover of this song and he almost threw up on one of his attempts at a one-take. Just goes to show how insane this drummer is.

[@tjewell98]

What you don't see is how when Bryce isn't making that slight pain face, he is GRINNING the entire time. This man is having the absolute time of his life ANY time he's behind the kit.

[@danielspencer4564]

Btw what you said about Ben and Alex. I have the same feeling. And I am fan of both these bands. But the feeling is mutual. The things Alex can do with his voice, are really impressive. But Ben is indeed more perfection 👌and they're both still pretty young. Amagine what they can do with their voices in an other 10 years.
