Couldn't agree more. In the last album Lorna literally copies their own riffs from previous albums before Will, and it's boring af. The best they ever put out was Immortal and even that doesn't really come close to Reclaimer or Melancholy. However I do think SoI were "inspired" by Lorna's success when writing this song
facts, chris wiseman is the goat with this type of music. he learned piano as a kid before picking up guitar and I think it helped him develop deep understanding of musical theory, scales, song structure, etc.. and you hear a lot of classical style in his writing, especially Primordial. sounds like beethoven wrote some riffs
Fleshgod apocalypse and old Winds of Plague are the earliest bands I can think of that did it first. I'm not hating either. I have been a fan since hearing their Reclaimer album a couple of years ago.
I agree with Mad Tyrants Betrayal. But I'll forever push The Prophets Beckoning and The Gathering of All. With Tom Barber and Alex Terrible, respectively.
This song... I'm not gonna lie. I cried I laughed, I giggled, I yelled... This band just does it for me everything. This is the only band next to Lorna Shore that has moved me for the last 20 years. And live they are even more epic🔥👌
These guys are one of the OGs for symphonic deathcore (not so much blackened) - if anything, Lorna Shore was influenced by them. Their last album Elegy moved more into symphonic death metal and abandoned the breakdowns for the most part, which is why this song is so exciting haha. I know you've reacted to some singles, but definitely listen to Melancholy and Reclaimer from top to bottom. Melancholy especially is one of my top 5 favourite metal albums of all time; an absolute masterclass in symphonic deathcore (and the best drumming they've ever had from Anthony Barone too)
Out of all three bands mentioned, if anything Shadow of Intent is the band who originated and perfected the introduction of this particular style of deathcore. To go even further back, Winds of Plague was to my knowledge thee first ever symphonic deathcore band back in the early 2000s But if you really wanna see where the now known as "lorna sound" found its inspiration from, listen to Reclaimer from Shadow of Intent:)
Yesssssss. So glad to see you react to this and so so so damn happy to see Shadow getting back to their roots! I'm beyond ecstatic to see them in April along with Brand of Sacrifice, Boundaries, and Bodysnatcher! P.s. Ben was in Brand's song Mortal Vessel off their Lifeblood album
Shadow of Intent are amazing, I've had their last 3 albums on repeat for the past 2 months! Seeing them with Lorna Shore and Brand of Sacrifice in New Orleans next weekend!Shadow of Intent has had this kind of sound for years. Their album Melancholy is a masterpiece.
@@williamdixon2026primordial is better than elegy for sure imo. I got: 1. Reclaimer 2. Melancholy 3. Primordial 4. Elegy There albums are all amazing though
Shadow of Intent has been doing this before Brand of Sacrifice. If anything BoS sounds or gets influences from SOI. They have been doing this just as long as Lorna Shore if you go through their discography.
SOI starts in January 2016 with their first LP Primordial, and Lorna began making great use of orchestral instruments since their album Immortal in January 2020, if i not mistaken. Even Brand of Sacrifice used child choir before Immortal's release, in 2018 with their EP The Interstice
The video made me think of Halo's infestation as well as a Starcraft Zerg ship with the living ship on the interior. Video was sick! And I love the speed and brutality of the song!
Shadow is an OG death metal/death core band. They have the same type of close following that Lorna does, but they have been doing this sound for a long time. They also produce their own music. Chris has a studio in his house that he records and constructs the albums in. Comparing everything to Into the Hellfire almost hurts to hear. Having benchmarks takes the fun out of new songs.
Shadow Of Intent has simply released some of the best music ever made. Pick any song from any album, and its a guaranteed banger. Also theyve been in the game since 2016 and always had this symphonic deathcore blend before it was as popularized as it is today
I agree with the comments. Definitely check out material from their first two albums "Primordial" and "Reclaimer". "The Prelude to Bereavement" has a wicked chopdown/breakdown with the guitars. 🤘
You need to go check out their reclaimer album this song definitely sounds more like that than the newer album elegy. Their first two albums were based around halo.
there older stuff is way more erpic than the new stuff, i need to say that i like both beceause this band is just amazing! i've seen this song live and my whole body was shaking !! insane band to see live ! i agree this song have the sounds of lorna shore that was the first thing what came up to me when i was listening this song for the first time. but still its great !
Yea shadow of intent has always kinda sounded like this. You should listen to their reclaimer album. It's very grandiose melodic operatic like sound with the same heaviness like Lorna shore
They went heavy heavy on this song and some of Will Ramos screams on it great song an them break downs flawless and this band also gives me brand of sacrifice vibes to sick man
That’s because Immortal was inspired by Shadow Of Intent. Shadow Of Intents most notable album, “Reclaimer”, released in 2017, Immortal releases in 2020
I think Lorna Shore really inspired a vibe if you want to be relevant as a band in this niche. That's on the fans not the bands to be specific. And any vocalist inspired by Will Ramos, in my opinion at least, is doing it right because growth as an artist is good for the industry. Who doesn't want nasty vocal changes it'll get stale eventually, I'm assuming, like everything else but for now weeeeeee! Shadow of Intent has always had this Sci Fi kind of thing going on like Halo meets blackish metal though which at least sets them apart. Great track, great reaction as usual!
Melodic death? that's symphonic. If you need crash course to melodic death they don't use most of orchestra (synth). But hey you like your breakdowns and shit so why bother
SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON LIKE I SMASHED MY MIC!!
What did you think about this song?! Do you agree with my thoughts?
You should check out Like Moths to Flames new song that just dropped it’s amazing
Ben Duerr is one of the best vocalists. God. It’s insane.
He's amazingggg
Setuju
So glad they're getting back to their Primordial/Reclaimer sounds. This song is disgustingly good, gonna be in repeat for sometimes
🤘🔥
SOI are the pioneers of Symphonic Deathcore. Doin it better and before Lorna Shore
Couldn't agree more. In the last album Lorna literally copies their own riffs from previous albums before Will, and it's boring af. The best they ever put out was Immortal and even that doesn't really come close to Reclaimer or Melancholy. However I do think SoI were "inspired" by Lorna's success when writing this song
Yep they really are! SOIs early stuff is phenomenal!! super cool with this direction again after Elegy! Even tho i adore Elegy as an album!!!

100%. Not a coincidence that Lorna Shore went symphonic on Immortal after Reclaimer made huge waves in the scene
Fleshgod apocalypse and old Winds of Plague are the earliest bands I can think of that did it first. I'm not hating either. I have been a fan since hearing their Reclaimer album a couple of years ago.
Definitely check out their older stuff, a lot of their work is based on Halo lore and it's epic asf.
Oh sickkk!
@@OhrionReacts The Mad Tyrant's Betrayal and Tartarus Impalement are amazing imo
I agree with Mad Tyrants Betrayal.
But I'll forever push The Prophets Beckoning and The Gathering of All. With Tom Barber and Alex Terrible, respectively.
@@Smithysmithin Oh absolutely to both, especially Gathering of All. Let's just recommend all of Reclaimer 😄
@@SmithysmithinCan't go wrong with anything on Reclaimer!
This song... I'm not gonna lie. I cried I laughed, I giggled, I yelled... This band just does it for me everything. This is the only band next to Lorna Shore that has moved me for the last 20 years. And live they are even more epic🔥👌

Appreciate the notes 🤘🔥 thank you for watching! Def gotta do more
Hello from France ! 🙋🏻♂️ Have a good video and an Amazing day !!!
Hello!!! :)
@@OhrionReacts Hi 😀

So jealous!
If you don't have "primordial' on repeat also then you're missing out! That album is incredible also!
@@williamdixon2026primordial is better than elegy for sure imo. I got:
1. Reclaimer
2. Melancholy
3. Primordial
4. Elegy
There albums are all amazing though
I saw these guys live last year, with white chapel and cannibal corpse. It was a very good show
I bet!
I saw them last year too 😅
Saw them with Brand of Sacrifice and Whitechapel. Amazing show from all three!
Ben Duer was featured in "Mortal Vessel" by Brand of Sacrifice 🤘🏻
Happiest drummer in metal.
Funny you mentioned Lorna shore and brand of sacrifice because they all started a tour together today!
I saw that line-up. Holy crap, i am jealous on people who are gonna see that, haha. I wish they had that line-up in the Netherlands lol.
@@Jens_Roadster I’m seeing it in destin thank god lol
@@landonmay3694 Lucky you... have fun! 😄
Seeing them in NOLA!
i don’t think they ever have the INTENT to make a bad song 😉
Lmao love it
🤣🤣🤣
3:20 everytime this pops on my spotify i instantly come to your page to see the reaction.. this song is so classy
Ben Duerr one of the OGs!!!!! So good
Saw them live back in June of last year, so good. The riffs are always nuts
🔥🤘😈🤘🔥
DAYYUUUMMMMM 😮
Shadow of intent have been doing the black/deathmelodiccore since the beginning
This one was awesome! Both the sound and lyrics remind me of Reclaimer, really excited for this album.
Shadow of Intent has been doing this before Brand of Sacrifice. If anything BoS sounds or gets influences from SOI. They have been doing this just as long as Lorna Shore if you go through their discography.
SOI starts in January 2016 with their first LP Primordial, and Lorna began making great use of orchestral instruments since their album Immortal in January 2020, if i not mistaken. Even Brand of Sacrifice used child choir before Immortal's release, in 2018 with their EP The Interstice
Fun fact! Shadow of Intent is the name of a Covenant ship from the Halo series! Their early stuff had very Halo related lyrics.
Cousins never cease to deliver! Lovin' their music and super proud to work with the same sound tech as them:)
What a sick track! 👌
Thanks. You gave me more inpspiration and into newer heavy metal. You are cool! You deserve a sub today.
The best thing to come out of my home state CT in a looooong time🤘🏻
The video made me think of Halo's infestation as well as a Starcraft Zerg ship with the living ship on the interior. Video was sick! And I love the speed and brutality of the song!
2:59 WTF!?!?!? THIS BREAKDOWN IS F*CKING BRUTAL🥵💀🖤
The guys surprised the hell out of me! I haven't heard such fat from them for a long time!🤯
Shadow is an OG death metal/death core band. They have the same type of close following that Lorna does, but they have been doing this sound for a long time. They also produce their own music. Chris has a studio in his house that he records and constructs the albums in. Comparing everything to Into the Hellfire almost hurts to hear. Having benchmarks takes the fun out of new songs.
Chris drop 2 bangers in 2 consecutive days and in 2 diferent bands. This must to be in Guinness book of records🤔
Knowing Chris and Ben IRL for multiple years is so freaking surreal. And seeing how people react to all their music is even more-so.
Bangers are not done yet! New like moths to flames just dropped.
This was really good. Great reaction.
Cattle Decapition has the best new song out right now.
Us “ we are learning about history still right Ben?”
Ben singing from the perspective of the grave mind from halo “ perhaps?”
Shadow Of Intent has simply released some of the best music ever made. Pick any song from any album, and its a guaranteed banger. Also theyve been in the game since 2016 and always had this symphonic deathcore blend before it was as popularized as it is today
Saw them live and met/talked to ben late january and holy shit their liveshows are unreal!!!!
Ben is such an awesome guy to!!! ❤🔥
This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mmm yes this song will sit perfectly between some epic, melodic songs.
Reminds of all the times I shat my pants playing the first dead space as a young lad. Good times
Definitely check out the Reclaimer album, each song transitions into the next so well you'd think the whole album is one song.
SOI was doing symphonic deathcore/deathmetal before Lorna. I think they set the bar for symphonic metal
they really did!!! their early stuff is phenomenal!
Yeah, it’s definitely a Mash up of all their albums in one
Dude this song made my day. Absolute banger 😍
Just seeing your comment if “This song needs Jesus had me laughing so hard
Dude this is thier best work since reclaimer. Def check out some of thier older stuff. Primordial, and Reclaimer are both amazing
I agree with the comments. Definitely check out material from their first two albums "Primordial" and "Reclaimer". "The Prelude to Bereavement" has a wicked chopdown/breakdown with the guitars. 🤘
You need to go check out their reclaimer album this song definitely sounds more like that than the newer album elegy. Their first two albums were based around halo.
My brain be melting 😭😭🖤
If anything Lorna shore sounds like shadow of intent, reclaimer came out well before immortal
there older stuff is way more erpic than the new stuff, i need to say that i like both beceause this band is just amazing! i've seen this song live and my whole body was shaking !! insane band to see live ! i agree this song have the sounds of lorna shore that was the first thing what came up to me when i was listening this song for the first time. but still its great !
Nothing like letting some bleaghs out on the Pillar of Autumn.
How the hell have you not listened to that many of their songs???
Now you HAVE to do the new like moths to flames single my guy!
Yea shadow of intent has always kinda sounded like this. You should listen to their reclaimer album. It's very grandiose melodic operatic like sound with the same heaviness like Lorna shore
I'm telling you Ben is not in his peak form yet!!!
They went heavy heavy on this song and some of Will Ramos screams on it great song an them break downs flawless and this band also gives me brand of sacrifice vibes to sick man
My guy it's all Ben no will at all or there would be a feature on it
Will Ramos didn’t invent high screams lol
Seeing the live next weekend with Lorna shore, boundaries and Bodysnatcher. 🤘🤘
For what it’s worth, shadow of intent have been kings of the symphonic blackened deathcore for a good while. Reclaimer is a goated album
This video has a similar feel to the Original Sin video by Chelsea Grin. Same director maybe? First time hearing this band. Fucking dope.
SOI ARE ON FIRE 😈💥🤘
Reminds me of immortal era of Lorna shore. Love it
That’s because Immortal was inspired by Shadow Of Intent. Shadow Of Intents most notable album, “Reclaimer”, released in 2017, Immortal releases in 2020
Bleeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If you don't know a lot of Shadow of Intent, you absolutely NEED to do a deep dive. They only make bangers. Big ones at that.
Melancholy is top tier
I think Lorna Shore really inspired a vibe if you want to be relevant as a band in this niche. That's on the fans not the bands to be specific. And any vocalist inspired by Will Ramos, in my opinion at least, is doing it right because growth as an artist is good for the industry.

This is how they used to sound. Elegy kind of dropped the deathcore tropes while still being awesome. But THIS is the SOI that I want
SHRINE OF MALICE on this channel please and thank you. Any song will do.
Dead space vibes in the video
more melodic than the others songs of shadow, but it's a ffucking insane song
Ben are a beast, the king of deathcore for me
Most def 🤘🔥
More melodic? How??
🤘🏻
Let's gooooo
PLEASE REACT "REVENGE THE FATE - DARK ERA"
AND ENJOY THR BREAKDOWN 😎🤘🏻
the song is so brutal it is not even funny, Ben absolutely smashes the shit out of this song through 50ft of concrete!
Loved The Migrant. Really nasty vocals (in a good way)
Migrant and Underneath a Sullen Moon are by far my favourite^^
Dead space vibes
Технично конечно, но этот трек не выделяется какой то приятной мелодией. Такой среднячковый. Но все равно ребята крутые, постоянно в плейлисте.
so this is HALO.
Almost as good as The Battle of the Maginot Sphere. Almost.
Also one with Lorna shore vibes...
Dude, shadow of intent are way more old than lorna shore, go check the albuns
I hear so much brand of sacrifice & Lorna
So instead of removing your worst upload yet you post 4 videos in 24 hours trying to bury it.
Very interesting indeed.
Melodic death? that's symphonic. If you need crash course to melodic death they don't use most of orchestra (synth). But hey you like your breakdowns and shit so why bother
I bet your a lot of fun to hang out with
@@gavinmayse7624 yep, so they say ;)
There's definitely a bit of a melodeath influence in there as well
