      It’s a change from a 6/8 time signature to 4/4 signature. Same tempo, but it plays different in our heads. As we headbang, the first part of the song we count 1,2,3 - 1,2,3 between nods, but then that part hits and the count changes to 1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4 before switching back to 1,2,3. Super cool.

    I saw Shadow of Intent play live as a guest performance for the Lorna Shore Christmas show. They were amazing! I love Bryce’s smile. They put on an amazing performance. I also love that the band name was inspired by Halo. Every time I see “Shadow of Intent” on the Halo loading screens, I think of them.

    I was just smiling and impressed at the same time during this whole video. He seems so happy and it is awesome to see how he actually enjoys playing his instrument. This is what music and making music should be all about. Absolutely love this!

    He's probably smiling so much because he knows how ridiculously good he is :D !

    That's what I like about this guy. He shows just how much fun he's having when he plays the drums!

    I wish someone would look at me the way Bryce Butler looks at his drums.
