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.
Agree, Melancholy is a masterpiece but I prefer Reclaimer, too.
Reclaimer is one of the best albums period. Reclaime killed this album in my opinion.
Yeah for me both albums are pretty much tied but usually I give melancholy the recognition because it was the first album i heard from them and it got me into them
"Reclaimer over Melancholy" Eeeeeyyyy, my guy!! Melancholy is sickk, but Reclaimer is so near to perfection, it's amazing
Imo melancholy is 10 times better than reclaimer.
Primordial gang
Whole band gang
I’d say The prophets beckoning ft. Tom Barber is a hidden gem off of Reclaimer that not many people have reacted to!
Diego Molina Also the catacombs with jason evansand dickie allen
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.
@@mattjones6450 ben duerr said doing mad tyrants betrayal was his favorite track
Dude this song is one of my two favorite songs off that album. And I got a hoodie with "BURN THIS WORLD TO ASH!" On it :)
The battle of the maginot sphere and twin revelations are 2 of my favorites ( from the album primordial)
Melancholy was my album of 2019. But reclaimer and then primordial and the halo lore days was the perfection
Also for the next one, the mad tyrants betrayal, or battle of the maginot sphere
The return is one of my all time favourite songs, it's absolutely fucking filthy ❤️
This is my favorite band so I really appreciate you making this video! Cool coincidence, I ordered a Reclaimer T-shirt two days ago. It’s my favorite album even though Melancholy is still amazing.
We Descend...The Return will always be my favorite SOI. First songs I heard from them and it's just perfect. And THEN i discovered it was all about Halo and that sealed the deal
Needa show him some Fit For An Autopsy
Exactly what I was gonna say
The Sea of Tragic Beast would be my recommendation to him for sure
100%! The Sea of Tragic Beasts is a very accessible album!
Best band in the genre for me personally
@@joshforeman1648 I cannot argue against that. FFAA are top tier for sure
I personally prefer Melancholy to Reclaimer. Lyrically and musically. This is not a knock on Reclaimer, I just preferred the incorporation of more blackened death metal and the lyrical content of Melancholy.
Edit- I forgot how fucking well Ben can be spittin too. Wow.
Jeah malediction is must play song! I was bit shocked that you didint play it for him but jeah maby the return was better for now 😁👍
Malediction got me into deathcore and Shadow of Intent.
Great reaction guys! Would love to see you show him more of their music.
Maybe something from Primordial?
@@TheNigotube honestly anything from any of their albums lol. The Catacombs and The Gathering of All would be cool for introducing him to Deathcore more.
*Hail the night, and reject the sun!*
Shadow of Intent has become one of my top 3 metal bands, and it's all thanks to people like you who share their music and your honest opinion.
Thanks to you, and thanks to Shadow of Intent of course for providing us with good shit! :P
More deathcore for metalbro? Aight, Your Pain is Mine - Fit For an Autopsy
That is actually Webster Theater in Hartford, CT...they are from CT
ALWAYS SHADOW OF INTENT TIME BOYS
Melancholy and Reclaimer get a lot of love, deservingly so....however not many mention Primordial. That album wrecks just as hard.
Prelude to Bereavement and Battle of the Maginot Sphere go hard
I wish they’d go back and re-record the whole album!! Such a killer album
YES! Archspire time now
Both albums level for me, melancholy was the first SoI I ever heard and it blew me away, so it holds a special place in my heart. Reclaimer is just killer though
i completely feel you on liking the reclaimer album more than melancholy but i still like both.
It's sad nobody reacts to The prophets beckoning by Shadow of Intent. Imho it was the best song off of Reclaimer.
Solid vid!
Odd question. Does the name Shadow of Intent come from halo?
Yeah, it's the name of a Covenant ship if I'm not mistaken. I'm not super familiar with the Halo lore though so take it with a grain of salt
That is correct
Can never go wrong with some "speed screams" from Ben, Chris Weisman (think I spelled his last name right) is a monster of a guitarist as well. This song is also among my top 5 SOI songs
Reclaimer has a lot of replay-value my guy, definitely dive in!
DEALER - SUFFER IN RHYTHM
DEALER - SUFFER IN RHYTHM
DEALER - SUFFER IN RHYTHM
The fact that the instrumental is always on par with the vocals for this band is absolutely obscene
I truly feel they're the new generations black dahlia
The return belongs on the soundtrack to a live action castlevania as does what a horrible night to have a curse
I had a feeling the lyrics were about half when I saw the covenant and "the ring" mentioned and thankfully you confirmed it for me birb, metal bands love to write concept pieces around halo and I don't blame them
No joke. Accidentally had youtube subtitles on when song started. "Marijuana" ... 30 sec later "is" 30 secs later... "foreign"
All shadow of intents albums are greatness! Probably my favorite band of the past 5 years!
I love all things Shadow of Intent. Reclaimer>Melancholy>Primordial that said these are all great albums this is just how I prefer them🤘
I also do love Reclaimer more than melancholy. I know they moved away from halo, but let's hope they do it again for infinit.
There're many songs I would like to see a reaction video:
- "Funeral Dreams" by Harakiri for the Sky
- "The Sun, the Moon, the Stars" by Aether Realm
To name a few...
SOI never disappoints
Sounds a lot like these guys were fans of Mors Principium Est. Maybe not, but the similarities are crazy. Reminds me of stuff off of Termination = Liberation. Any of the first 3 tracks are great representations, Animal Within in particular. Check it out, a little old school, but still holds up.
Maybe Metal Bro should check out some Within The Ruins stuff. In my opinion they sit right in between Deathcore and Metalcore. Also because they have song with and without clean vocals you can easily get sued to their style while still icreasing the heaviness.
in case you haven't heard it, can you react to The Prelude of Bereavement from their first album? one of the intro songs i've heard.
Please react to either their song Oudenophobia or The Aftermath in Jat-Krula, nobody has reacted to those 2 yet and they're some of the best songs they've ever made IMO, some of the best solos too. You already know this, since you listened to them, but maybe you could show them to metal bro or your girl?
Fit for an autopsy - Black Mammoth or Thy Art is Murder - Puppet master........ These were the ones that got me into deathcore. Love Shadow of intent now also as a result :D
I gotta know, did he listen to Reclaimer? What did he think of it?
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.
3:41 I CRY
This somg is also about 343 guilty spark bringing the sentinels back because the covenant have reached installation 01 halo ring.
Replace sentinels with humanity and you got it. "The origin of my existence" is referencing humanity as 343 Guilty Spark was once a human
Especially when he says "if only I possessed the form in which I was born. A living body so I can embrace and rejoice" that's a huge reference to his past
I Built the Sky - A Fire Inside (ft. Andy Cizek and Olly Steele. It's a straight banger.
I’ve never given deathcore a try, SOI changed it. The Heretic Prevails is everything, his vocal range shines in it. They also have one of the best guitar solos imo
I kinda down when he’s not like deathcore , i love Shadow Of Intent a lot . I love the pig squeals , low and high . I’ve been listen to them and my fav one is Barren And Breathless Macrocosm , those song hit me so well . I’ve got goosebumps every time i listen to it but i prefer Reclaimer more than Melancholy
I absolutely love the first half of Reclaimer but always find myself skipping most of the later half whereas Melancholy I can listen to the entire album on repeat without skipping a track
You guys should check the new Ingested, an incredible album imo.
Reclaimer >primordial>Melancholy imo. Dont get me wrong melancholy is still 10/10
Thank you.
Reclaimer and Primordial are so much fun, and then Melancholy seems a little dreary by comparison, which isn't a bad thing but...
For me Primordial>Melancholy>Reclaimer
The tartarus impalement or The Great Schism he would probably enjoy
I definitely prefer Melancholy just because I am an absolute sucker for that sad and emotional atmosphere as well as black metal elements. That said, it’s legit in my top 5 favorite albums of all time so saying I prefer it is no diss against Reclaimer at all. 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.
You guys have to listen to Catacombs from that album!
next time The Catacombs please :)
with a sick piano breakdown ;)
This song reminds me of Dimmu Borgir a lot. Awesome album.
Some FFAA for the bro next 🤘
Metalbro mentioned Erra? maybe Metalbro can get Metalbirb more into Erra, that would be a sick vid
Also agree Reclaimer over Melancholy all day, Melancholy is good but Reclaimer honestly has a god tier status in the realm of Deathcore imo
Malediction or the tartarus implement
You should check out the band Fiends with their song 'Nervous Wreck' :). It's on BeheadingTheTraitor.
Melancholy is a dope album and so was their first album but Reclaimer is their best album in my opinion🤷all their albums are unique in their own way ...i didnt like Melancholy the first time and then i gave it a few more listens and it grew on me i give it a solid 8/10
Reclaimer is just pure fun which is why I like it more than Melancholy.
Metalbirb you should check out Methwitch, maybe not metal bro if hes not into this style of music but I reckon you will dig it.
You should show him “you only live once” by suicide silence. That might help him get into deathcore more.
Meh
I think Melancholy is a much stronger album than Reclaimer.
I think it's thematically different, definitely not better but most certainly not bad. Reclaimer is insane. Wish Melacholy had more ft artists.
I like primordial more than melancholy tbh and reclaimer is the best easily.
No fucking shot hahaha.
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
That shit was fire nothing else needs to be said
So if anyone doesn't know this is a halo tribute band
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.
Diamond Construct - Enigma is dope
Sounds so (Intents new album) like older Dimmu Borgir ( Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia time). If I listened to this without context I would have said it is them.
I do think Melancholy is better and way more mature. But i understand why you like more Reclaimer. In my opinion just the darkness of Melancholy and the theme played in that album is far superior than the others.
Am I the only one who likes Primordial the best? Reclaimer is very good, and Melancholy ain't bad either, but Primordial is my favorite.
Melancholy > Reclaimer > Primordial
Dude show your bro some Infant Anni!
React to The frozen lake from devin to embers pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase🔥🤘
Please react to The Tartarus Impalment.
I love melancholy but I prefer Reclaimer
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CATACOMBS BY SHADOW OF INTENT
Dreamhouse by Deafheaven!!
Please remember would be a fun reaction
Kuba Marciniak honestly i'd love to see them to react to any song on sunbather. i do agree though! please remember is such a unique song that it would be a fun reaction but maybe not the best intro
Bro there ain’t no squeals in gravesinger tho
Death hunt by shrine of malice...lmao
Reclaimer is more messy/chaotic. Melancholy is more well structured and.. m m melon
Both scratch an itch
Where's the Mrs?
Reclaimer is a better album imo
I miss metalbabe
You should have shown him The Heretic Prevails. That is their best song, in my opinion.
That song for me sounds sooo cheesy haha
Panegyrist of God you’re entitled to your opinion. I do come from the more metalcore side of heavy music, so that was a good song to introduce me to them.
@@testingmyaudioaddiction3452 Mmh I see where you're coming from. I usually listen to a lot of progressive technical avant-garde dissonant death/black metal
Panegyrist of God that makes sense. All the weird stuff that happens in those types of songs, I’m sure, makes Shadow of Intent look like rookie creatives.
Already reacted and even done a guitar cover! So I wanted to feature something new to the channel like The Return and give some love to that song
You are forreruner... but this ring is my.
Heretic prevails that’s where it’s at !
So this guy prefers slower, less heavy, less technical, less brutal metal with clean vocals because he can’t sing along. Ok. 🤣
bro rong songs ,,, maledition ... barrent...
