Legitimately though, I think this is Bryce's best performance to date. Wild to see how he started out not even being able to play their songs, and now he's onto his second album cycle as their official drummer, and plays like a machine. So proud of him.
Just love how no matter how disgusting or angry the song, no matter how absurd the drumming, he's there in the middle of it beaming ear to ear. Gotta love Bryce.
Shadow of Intent continually raising the bar for both themselves and the genre. Incredible song and an great start to what will no doubt be an incredible album!!
the expression at 2:22 is just pure bliss. it fills you with envy because you also want to experience something so attuned with yourself and what you do. its so strong, i have no choice but to pursue it, thank you
It's a good band, and I like it, but don't exaggerate. It seems like you haven't listened to other bands like Lorna Shore, Mental Cruelty, Carnifex, whitechapel, Synestia. So, I recommend exploring more bands so you don't get stuck with just one group.
@@canexfex5325 Those bands are fantastic, still, Shadow of Intent is in the highest level.Everything in this band is flawless. The musical talent, the creativity, the epicness, and the fact I never get sick of this, unlike most generic deathcore bands.
So unbelievably incredible. Ever since The Return graced my Spotify six years ago, you’ve been my favorite band, embodying everything I adore about the genre. The writing, the storytelling, the power, the musical talent, the mixing, EVERYTHING. You're all masters of your craft and every person involved is testament to that, so please never stop making music 😍
@@DJ-pp4mt dude yess I love that song! And same I started listening around the time Melancholy was released but I started with Reclaimer. Banger of an album. Their entire discography is imo
From now on, when someone asks me what an example of pure deathcore is, this song is what i will show them. Holy fucking hell. Shadow of Intent continuously raising the bar.🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the first time I've ever heard these guys, and I'm stoked. I haven't had this much fun in years! It's fun, it's groovy, it's chuggy, it's heavy. I love it.
More electronic sounds and the addition of some slam elements is what I could make out. Mixing it up a bit is exactly what they needed already on track for one of the best albums of 2025.
Yeah man Wiseman was taking about an Australian industrial metal band he’s been digging. You could hear the vibes in Currents last album and now some here as well. I REALLY love that feel he’s bringing with it. I hope there’s plenty in the next album.
To tell the honest gd truth, as a 41 year old metal head from the 90s-00s, this kind of metal is worlds better than most modern metal drop G bands. Killer metal 🤘
What I love about Shadow of intent is that the music and vocals are absolutely perfect paired together its like the perfect pair for a unique and ultimately awesome sound.
Another song, another divine addition. The strings of Sanghelios, the holy malestrom of percussion, and their singing Arbiter, I... I was deafened by it's majesty. Keep on rocking, I'm still blown away after the 10th time listening to this!
Exactly my thoughts lol. The reason i LOVE so fucking much Ben is because he is really the truest of the metalheads in the deathcore scene (as im way more invested in the death metal/black metal scene). Also, since Fossilization is from my country and i really enjoy them, that also means a lot.
Chris getting them white hairs looked hella majestic during that solo. Everytime I think this band can’t get cooler just fucking blows my expectations out the window every single time. Best in the game.
I just have to leave my comment here. This video touched the strings of my soul. It makes me want to write poetry and enjoy life. Thank you, guys. Keep up the great work.
This is too freaking intense! Ben, Chris, Bryce, Andrew - it's hard to imagine that you can outperform your previous material - but you guys did it. Amazing!
This will probably my single most listened song of the year 2024. This is intense in so many levels and the video...well, just fortifies this. AMAZING 🔥
I’m so out of my mind excited for what’s to come! It’s track after track of beauty. I listen to the discography from start to current. Stoked for what you guys are bringing to music, and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Ben is without a doubt one of the absolute greatest vocalists in extreme metal right now, he has been for a few years now 🤘🤘 the pride of Westerly, RI. We fucking love you man and we are soooooooooo proud of you!!! Nothing but love and respect for Ben and SOI
Couldn’t be more stoked on how this came out 🥰
Best EP ever made btw
Ayy, the lads are here! Real recognizes real.
@disembodiedtyrant 🤘🏻🙏🏻👿👿👿⛓️
LETS GO BLAKE WITH THE PRODUCTION
Blake absolutely owning the genre right now
This drummer understood the assignment and went for the extra credit.
Legitimately though, I think this is Bryce's best performance to date. Wild to see how he started out not even being able to play their songs, and now he's onto his second album cycle as their official drummer, and plays like a machine. So proud of him.
Well freaking said. For real.🤘🤘🤘
He's definitely starting to really fit in with the sound and I love it. This writing is already sounding better than Elegy
@@Sacred_Silence I loved Elegy, but I agree.
Bryce is the happiest looking drummer in metal. 🥁👶🏼
The breakdown destroyed my life... this is amazing
Video when?
We need reaction video 🗿
more like saved my life... this is nuts
Sup Nik
I'm surprised I didn't discover this because of your reaction vid normally I get those notifications before the bands notification lol
yay the happy drummer is back
lol Bryce is great!
@@OshamesloshHe's always smiling. He fukn loves this job.
He's really chill
Just love how no matter how disgusting or angry the song, no matter how absurd the drumming, he's there in the middle of it beaming ear to ear. Gotta love Bryce.
@@jaboyd74I would too if I played in a band this good!
*Ben slowly transforming into The Corpsegrinder*
Just needs to regain the long hair, then the transformation is complete
his neck needs more girth.
Yeah if corpsegrinder was a dorky poser with a bad hair line and 50 lbs less muscle.
@@devincoburg272 watch out we got a metal elitist poser over here.
Boy getting thiccc
I have only one complaint about this masterpiece. It's not six hours long.
Haha :)
😂😂😂
Shadow Of Intent is one of them bands that's keeping this eras deathcore alive! 🤘🔥
Calling this deathcore is an insult. It's so much more than that lol
These guys are next level!
@@samholdsworth420I love the new symphonic era...
@@arielantebi7476it's pretty damn good innit
How disrespectful to call this deathcore. This is much more than that.
@@samholdsworth420this song is still pretty much deathcore
That drum transition into the blast beat at 1:58 is so sick 🔥
I have to replay it every time it’s amazing
😭😭🤘🏻
I was thinking the same thing! Such a cool part.
Its sick. One of the best metal drummers out there.
That's my favourite part
Hands down one if the most brutal and technically intense songs this band has released.Ben’s vocals are next level demon shit 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I clicked so fast. I love this song. The band. Cant wait for more !
Shadow of Intent continually raising the bar for both themselves and the genre. Incredible song and an great start to what will no doubt be an incredible album!!

Shadow of Intent forever 🤘🏻
Best shampoo adv ive ever seen
Bro Bryce is the Bob Ross of drums. That man just loves life
Wouldn't you if you were high 24/7?
@@Emnewitswat
He only smokes before he plays@@Emnewits
I would smoke crack laced with Aids before playing every time, if it meant I'd play this good lol
hahaha really made me crack up, so true!
Nothing i can say will ever express how much better i think this band is than everyone else. LOVE YOU

@canexfex5325 it's a matter of opinion. I've listened to all of those bands plenty. But good job assuming 😀

Elitist spotted, opinion discarded.
@@canexfex5325Dont exaggerate?😂 Goofy thing to say about an opinion, lol. Everything else you said was fairly on point.
This is the king of deathcore!!!
Smiling drummer is back.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Shadow Of Intent and Eyes Of Your Eyes release music videos the same day. I am in heaven.
and bryce butler is in both!! wtf, man never sleeps 🤣
I saw their video in revolver too, earlier. WTF!!
Don't forget Reflections!
Nothing but quality every drop 🔥
Bryce is so pure and wholesome with his happiness while playing, and god DAMN is he a machine ☠️
You are too kind!! Thank you so much 🥹🥹🫶
@@brycebutlerdrumsТы просто ЗВЕРЬ, приготовил пюре с моего 🤜🧠🤛😵💫😵💫🙃🤪😇🥰🫶😇на ужин
One of the best bands out there.
How does Chris Wiseman continuously and consistently pump out bangers
Built different 💪🔥
@@c4gob00m he's a wise man
@@K3nseiii😹
For real!!!
Dying for new Currents tho
primordial vibes
2:35 🔥
I hear it bro!
Primordial was fucking insane
@@DJ-pp4mt dude for real. Maginot Sphere and Jat-Krula were absolutely face-melting
@@K3nseiii Jat-Krula to this day is my favorite metal instrumental song. This band is what got me into deathcore when reclaimer came out.
@@DJ-pp4mt dude yess I love that song! And same I started listening around the time Melancholy was released but I started with Reclaimer. Banger of an album. Their entire discography is imo
Never disappointed with Shadow of Intent ! One of my fav bands ever
Please Review this Band from Bali 🤟🏻 ua-cam.com/video/tqx2H51aMS8/v-deo.html

This is the first time I've ever heard these guys, and I'm stoked. I haven't had this much fun in years! It's fun, it's groovy, it's chuggy, it's heavy. I love it.
You should listen to their previous albums. They're all really good. Melancholy is one of my favourites.
@@Vahrgrim worm shepherd and lorna shore are very similar to shadow of intent and are just as good
Ben's Lyricism is so top tier. Also, Glad they got their drummer back 🤘
Bryce with the smiles and the Mandalorian tattoo, hell yea.
Bro I could not stop grinning this entire song, every single song yall do is just better and better
Something different about this one. I really like this!!
More electronic sounds and the addition of some slam elements is what I could make out. Mixing it up a bit is exactly what they needed already on track for one of the best albums of 2025.
Yeah man Wiseman was taking about an Australian industrial metal band he’s been digging. You could hear the vibes in Currents last album and now some here as well. I REALLY love that feel he’s bringing with it. I hope there’s plenty in the next album.
The smile on Bryce Butler's face throughout this video makes me so happy!
Stepped up the game
Yooo! It’s my birthday today and my favourite band drops a new song?! Couldn’t have asked for a better present! Holy moly!
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday! 🎉🖤
happy birthday🥳🥳🥳
happy bday lad
happy birthday bro, I hope you're enjoying it so much
Okay, the build from 2:50 into that ending was just... *chef's kiss* And the breakdown to end? Utterly filthy. Absolute masterpiece \m/
2:21 love that face😂
He always looks so happy when he plays, especially blasts. Man loves what he does
3:18 this one
Sometimes I am so happy with the random discoveries/suggestions from spotify. Holy fucking shit this band is absolutely insane.
To tell the honest gd truth, as a 41 year old metal head from the 90s-00s, this kind of metal is worlds better than most modern metal drop G bands. Killer metal 🤘
Shadow of Intent never disappoints
OC and SOI are the only 2 bands where I click on the like button before the song starts 😅
What I love about Shadow of intent is that the music and vocals are absolutely perfect paired together its like the perfect pair for a unique and ultimately awesome sound.

Sounds like a dope band, but unfortunately never heard of em. You two guys mind helping a young brotha out and recommend some tunes?
He Whose Name Is Long Forgotten is their best IMO. Definitely check them!
@@personalprogress7876 Yes sir!
Lots of love from North East India....... keep making song like this
My fave band with the happiest drummer. What an amazing WORK!!
Every single yall put out is incredible
My Old man gonna like this in his birthday party !! ... TREMENDOUS GUYS !!
Absolutely Legendary! Love these guys!!!
Tohle bych od Dymytry nečekal dobře pritvrdily. Skvělá muzika tohle se k nim hodí. Jen tak dál. Rozhodně mě nezklamaly .
These guys live are something else… phenomenal 🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I saw them perform in Worcester last month. Their presence is immense, I knew right away this is a badass band - super talented!
Thank you Shadow Of Intent for your music all these years. I love you guys
Just consistently getting better and better
Wow soi👍banger
Chris getting them white hairs looked hella majestic during that solo. Everytime I think this band can’t get cooler just fucking blows my expectations out the window every single time. Best in the game.
I love the laugh at 0:41 so good
Yo Ben's vocals are still some of the sickest in the game! This was awesome.
Damn!!!! Was not expecting the slam parts, IM 100% HERE FOR IT!
I did not know these guys. Instant fan
Just saw them last Saturday in Vegas for the first time, and they BLEW my mind away. Instant fan.
LESGOOOOOO
Saw you guys in Denver on 10/15 and it is one of the best live shows of any band I've ever seen. Absolutely crushed it!
Thank you for existing!!! Thank you for continuing your musical path as the masters you are! \m/
LOVE THIS BAND❤

This is too freaking intense! Ben, Chris, Bryce, Andrew - it's hard to imagine that you can outperform your previous material - but you guys did it. Amazing!
Such a good band to see live saw them last year and it was amazing
These guys are on another level now.
Ben's new whiskers though 👌
Vraiment très bonne découverte et très curieux de voir la suite du projet 😁👍👍
Legit the best metal band out there hands down
I need the full album. Now!
Could not be more IMPRESSED!!! So sick!! 10/10
ngeriii🤘🔥
Yo was so hyped when a surprise new Shadow song popped up in my Spotify 😭
Epic Powerful Voices & Masterpiece Songs Forever Guyz. Appreciate It. Keep It Going.
New Shadow of Intent and new Gojira today (they released Ah! Ca ira! from Olympics). What a great time to be alive!
This will probably my single most listened song of the year 2024. This is intense in so many levels and the video...well, just fortifies this. AMAZING 🔥

Bryce Butlers work on this track is mindblowing 🤘🏻
Even more impressive than Ben's vocals is how quickly he can change shirts between phrases in the video
hits like a ton of bricks, well done!
The chorus made me feel like i'm about to fight a horde of orks!!!
Ben is without a doubt one of the absolute greatest vocalists in extreme metal right now, he has been for a few years now 🤘🤘 the pride of Westerly, RI. We fucking love you man and we are soooooooooo proud of you!!! Nothing but love and respect for Ben and SOI

Got to say this is one of the most ripping bad fucking ass song ive heard in quite some years even. Congrats Shadow of Intent.
Sick as always.
Saw you guys in cleveland. just incredible. great show. come back to cleveland soon please.
Best band of decade.
ben duerr has some of the best vocal work i've ever heard. very distinct, too.
