    Music produced by Chris Wiseman and Christian Donaldson
    Video directed by Orie McGinness
    I emerge alive
    Regurgitated as a slave to the tests of time
    I reject and do not rejoice my immortality
    For there is nothing left of this place
    Spawning unto desolation again
    In shadows I slumber until I am but dust
    Am I to live in nothingness?
    In death I live to dwell the days away in fathomless dismay
    Am I to roam forever gone?
    To roam forever gone?
    Festering memories of the past start to project
    Then wither away inducing insanity on my behalf
    We were led to believe the netherworld is of myth
    But it dwells within and its nature so abstract, yet so very real
    A most horrid fate
    Ghastly rotting grave
    Bloodshed and malice conjured the source of our decay
    We wasted away
    I am he who lives thrice begotten in bedlam against evanescent horizons
    How melancholy
    Time withers
    The sun extinguished
    And yet still, I remain
    The age of man passes
    My progress, struggles, and suffering a waste

      @@x0scimy0x Definitely. When they do appear in a song they're badass and help keep things fresh a bit. Like on Reclaimer in the song "The Prophets Beckoning" it made the song stand out from the rest, one of my favorites on the album.. If he did it on every song though? It just wouldn't be special anymore. It wouldn't be a breath of fresh air from the unrelenting, brutal, aural assault that is deathcore.. It would just be Shadow of Intents "thing" they did in every song. One of the things that got me really into this band when I heard reclaimer was all of the different ways they kind of broke the monotony. I love deathcore just as much as the next guy but when there isn't anything special throughout the songs in an album it loses my interest quick... Like I could never get into Thy Art is Murder because Reign of Darkness was awesome and Shadow of Eternal Sin was badass... And after that I couldn't listen to the same deathcore song 10 or however many other times to make a complete album. When familiarizing yourself with an album there has to be multiple songs with parts in them that stick out to you, make you think siiiiick. It's the one thing that deathcore bands are dreadful at in my opinion unless they have Jason Richardson on guitar creating memorable parts via guitar solos and riffs. You gotta want to go back and listen to "that one song with the dope melodic part" or "that song Dickie from Infant Annihilator did guest vocals on." Without those awesome parts that set songs apart it's too fucking mind numbingly boring listening to an album enough to get familiarized and learn all of the intricacies that make the band/album badass. Deathcore bands suck at this. Shadow of intent has been a breath of fresh air in that sense as well. Loving this band. Sorry for the rant.

    Man, you can feel the emotion of the protagonist in this story. He took his own life, by not by his own will, and then he struggled and suffered through a place he wasn't supposed to be in to try to get back home, only to find his journey was for naught. Very...melancholic.

  • @Smithysmithin
    @Smithysmithin 5 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    They mix so many different sounds together. You got their deathcore root, with some blackened atmospheric vibes and vocals, you got that melodic guitar, and that symphonic touch overlapping some speedy trashy guitars, and some good ol blast beats. SOI never follows the pattern of a singular genre. Sure they are deathcore. But they don't rely on down tuning and breakdowns to carry them through 10 seconds of Fame. They are masters of writing beautifully heavy music. Ben is an absolute beast, but without the band, they wouldn't be so next level. And the best part is? One song may be amazing, but will always be 10x better as a whole album. So move over all you "listen to this song cause it has ONE good element like a breakdown" bands, and let SOI get all the blackened spotlight. When you can write as masterfully as this, then come talk.

      My man I haven't been able to get into deathcore for what feels like a long time now... Since the days where "Awaken the Dreamers" by All Shall Perish was still fresh.. The days when Born of Osiris' "The New Reign" was a steady jam and then we forgot about a higher place and considered "The Discovery" to be their next absolute masterpiece. When After the Burial was still big.. And "A New Era Of Corruption" just came out and we still thought Whitechapel couldn't write a bad album. Or when "ID" was a banging follow up to "The Common Man's Collapse" you know? When it wasn't safe to swim today! Ever since then everything has just been so mediocre... Whitechapel CAN apparently come out with a bad album. Eddy Hermida can ruin two bands quicker than he made All Shall Perish good, we weren't only mourning mitch lucker I tell ya... I know what it's like now to want to slap every member in Born of Osiris in the fucking face repeatedly for letting Jason Richardson go. I've felt the disappointment of trying to listen to Aristeia play anything they wrote live. I've been conned into pre-ordering an album too early just like EA does to gamers when Rings of Saturn put out the Dingir album teaser and I thought it was Jesus' second coming. Only to be let down by the fact that the teaser was better than the actual album. I've gone through some SHIT to get here... And Shadow of Intent is making it all worth it. Look away if you don't wanna see a grown man cry!

      @@danielnelson4881 wow im sorry thats the way you think of deathcore now but it sounds like youre just stuck on hoping old bands can continue to release good music like they once did instead of searching for the new. Whitechapels "the valley" was actually a really good album, though admittedly not their best. If youre looking for some of the better deathcore in the modern day then 2019 is a great place to start. Fit For An Autopsy released "The Sea Of Tragic Beasts", Shrine Of Malice released "Sheol", A blackened deathcore album that was my personal favourite of 2019 along with Shadow of Intents "Melancholy". There was also Angelmakers self titled album, Enterprise Earth with "Luficerous", Infant Annihilator released "The Battle of Yaldabaoth", Signs Of The Swarm with their slam influenced "Vital Deprivation" and more recently Lorna Shore releasing "Immortal". These are all some incredible albums and id recommend backtracking through each of these bands discographies because they are definitely the frontrunners of the deathcore scene in my eyes
