    For me: Melancholy is a better album, but I think Reclaimer is much more my style and is way more fun, making it my preferred album. Reclaimer is personally a top 5 favorite album all time for me, god I love this band.

      The Prophets’s Beckoning, The Mausoleum of Liars, The Tartarus Impalement, and The Mad Tyrant’s Betrayal are all crazy underrated tracks from that album. The Prophet’s Beckoning is legit one of their best songs, and it seems like no one talks about it lol. Other than Oudenophobia and Underneath a Sullen Moon, it has my favorite chorus from them for sure.

    Melancholy is easily my favorite album they've released. Reclaimer is great and maybe a top 10 deathcore album of all time (I'm a big Halo boy too so that doesn't hurt), but Melancholy just feels so much more massive and honestly I think the song writing was much tighter. The Dimmu Borgir vibes, the refined song structures, and the best guitar work from Chris to date (imo) puts Melancholy on a god tier level for me. Yeah Ben doesn't get as crazy with his vocals and it isn't the big breakdown and shred fest that the early albums were, but I think the restraint they demonstrated on Melancholy really payed off in the end and led to the entire record feeling more meaningful and mature. I can totally understand why someone would prefer Reclaimer though since it definitely has a "fun" factor that Melancholy doesn't quite have.

Reclaimer is also absolute perfection, I just prefer Melancholy’s style a little more. In total, Shadow of Intent is hands down the best deathcore band at the moment imo.

    I think I'm probably the only one who wasn't hyped by Melancholy, sure short time enthusiasm, but compared to the badass solos, more deathcorish vocals and the epic riffs of Reclaimer, Melancholy just came off flat to me. I sure like Blackened Deathcore or even some BM but the whole "badass" tone of reclaimer somehow got lost in Melancholy for me.
    Edit: I just realized I actually favor Primordial over Reclaimer aswell. The didacts will and The shaping sickness being my absolute favs

    Gravesinger has a black metal style chorus so it makes sense that you wouldn't be super into it if you aren't already a fan of death/black metal. To me Shadow of Intent is more of a tech/symphonic death metal band than deathcore, especially with Melancholy where they basically gave up the super slow stereotypical breakdowns altogether.
    Also, Malediction is the best song I've ever heard. I meant what I said.
