Lyrics:
The schism has succumbed to militant decadence
Boundaries perverted, the populous ravenous
Their rights have been compromised
Forced into battle to keep what they own
Plotting the new reign, the parliament ponders
Seizing the motherland after disbandment
Caught in between these brutal objectives
Resorting to violence they're eaten alive
Death
This civil division has far surpassed humility
Defiling the dissident, their lack is evident
They have completely descended to murder
Children play day and night with severed heads
Inhuman execution
Slashing of throats
Mass despoliations
Death in vain
Frenzied grabbing for the closest weapon
Kill or be killed becomes the new way
Keep plunging down the rabbit hole
Resolution through cruelty
Internal strife
Newborns have been torn away from wailing mothers
The future of a nation mutilated, smothered
Displayed as a warning
Bodies left uncovered
And to this day, it can be seen
Unreconciled divide
This dark path was placed by politician hands
Residents now fear the once coveted moonlight
Luscious sculpture, who's glory once had gushed
Supplanted by such beauty and disgust
Species of savages
Persistent penitence
Evident lack of a shred of humanity
Macabre obsession
Removal of men keeps on fueling the passion
Stalking the rooftops they gaze down with penance
They'll be the ones who take care of the menace
Harder and harder, these two sides collide
Intensified genocide
Eaten alive
Civil division has far surpassed humility
Their lack is evident as they defile the dissident
They have completely descended to murder
Children play day and night with severed heads
Inhuman executions
Slashing of throats
Mass despoliations
Death in vain
Frenzied grabbing for the closest weapon
Kill or be killed becomes the new way
Keep plunging down the rabbit hole
They've beaten this dead horse to mush
They cannot stop these ferocious urges
They plunge the knife deeper into the throat of democracy
Slowly carving the head from the neck
This dark path was placed by politician hands
Residents now fear the once coveted moonlight
Luscious sculpture, whose glory once had gushed
Supplanted by such beauty and disgust
Shrouded foulness, the soul inside observed
Shrieks of anguish
Cremation will be served
Bathe in the blood
The blade unjust lost control
Into the furnace, Into the hole
They bathe in the blood
The blade unjust lost control
Into the furnace, Into the hole

I like how his hair changes through the albums
Yeah they more looks like typical old school metalhead who's into thrash and death imo
@@mynameislove1704 it looks good though
@@enoch3524 Yes and it supposed to.
I just feel weird when metal musician dress up like a rappers and it happened to Lorna Shore ex vocalist CJ McCreery.
Dude it's so terrible to look like that imo
@@mynameislove1704 that's true,you gotta admit it's looks good when metal bands just go for a plain and simple outfit like SOI or even just masks like STP
@@mynameislove1704 ya but Mr PEEPEE man can get it on vox
Deathcore MASTERS
Yes
why do you have to comment literally ever metal video? Is it just exposure for you?
@@hardbass_crew_hauptschule8236 chill homie. He likes heavy music just like all of us
This song is dope!
Indeed
Ben Duerr's singing is so fast, clear and delieved in such a unique way.
He's giving the genre a new standard.
Brillant
Ehhh Ben is incredible but I wouldn't use "clear" to define him at all. It's tough to follow along with the lyrics. Speed is one thing, but clarity is another. That happens when you're screaming and shoving multiple syllables into a smaller phrase to fit a verse.
@@corbineisel9342 Well, for me M Eisel, i find it easy to follow him.
I think the singer from Acrania in clarity is better, listen to him
He's gotten more brutal an faster love it
He was low-key rapping and flowing
Chris Wiseman can do no wrong, everything he touches turns to gold.
Currents, shadow of intent and Our eternity? Yea I’d say so lmao
I read Chris Weidman and was very confused for a second
Ehhhhh the new currents album was mediocre at best but otherwise I totally agree
You might say he has the....midas touch
@@kellysandifer623 lmfao
Outstanding. Lyrically and aesthetically moving more in a traditional death metal route while still having the unique quality that is Shadow of Intent. No one does it like these guys. I love it.
Absolutely.
Their one of the best in the scene right now🤘🔥
Yessss. This is how you evolve as a band.
@@theMelvinShow lmao I don't blame you. It's usually nothing too "deep". At least I personally don't connect in any way with most of it. If it sounds cool, that's good enough for me
@@VinnyChezni Well I mean... Anger, disposition, depression etc. Metal music is just every negative emotion and human thought, the savagery of our race put into words, every man is capable of horrible things, that's what makes death metal so brutal, it's real....
@@VinnyChezni also its pretty fucking hard to decipher what they're screaming
The lyrics BRO
Grande Rene! Escuchando a la mejor banda de la escena 🔥BANGER
Verga Seca representado
jajaj preciso andaba pensando en mis nuevos tattoos cuando vi tu comentario maldito loco
@@frankcastle10 alv aquí está el homifela
Achizz!
I never thought I’d find a band that blends everything I ever wanted in metal lol. This is so good.
Ohhh listen to "Välde" the new album by Humanity's Last Breath.
A lot of masterful subgenre blending there.
Exactly how I feel about orbit culture
...will always be Slipknot/Lamb of God for me but I like what I'm hearing so far...
would love to see these guys tour with knocked loose and make them suffer. the power!!!!!
Lorna shore bro
Shadow Of Intent is the greatest thing that has happened to metal in recent years. It's the band I wish was there when I was a teenager and entered this realm in the first place.
Every song I hear with Ben's vocals I'm impressed, absolute beast
Ben is one of, if not the best vocalist in deathcore but he's not showing it here. This is their least impressive song when it comes to vocals.
I mean he's one of the most talented vocalist in deathcore right now, he can do death growl and shrieking vocals kind of stuff.
@@Vampireknigh which one's the most?
@@richter0157 personally if we're talking vocally I'd have to say Malediction, The Heretic Prevails, or The Didact's Will
@@Arashi477 yeah those are great
Video Director: "Ok Bryce, buddy, can you please tone down the smiling? We're going for a brutal vibe here."
What an absolutely incredible band.
Sheer Cold!!! 🥶
I thought i was the only one using the name sheercold (not on yt) now im sad and depressed, also sup my fellow pokemon fan xd
They are definitely leading the way in modern metal
@@viktor821 slaughter to prevail is right there with shadow of intent Alex is scary talented
At this point, they are no longer paying homage to the genre and creating their space, but leading the future. Good job
they switched to tech/symphonic death metal.
Couldn’t agree more. True pioneers of metal 🤘
Yes totally agreed .. now they leading
@@Silentxdrone breakdowns... Wow bro it was a trend and it disappeared due to it:s lack of creativity .. 00 --000000riff lol it has a prime and it ends no one could ever be proud of doing breakdowns no art on breakdowns .. it could be a sauce for the riffs nothing more
@@mohamedatef244 no art in breakdowns? Stop the gatekeep lol. You sound like a 15 yr who's never listened to suffocation.
Just got into Shadow Of Intent and they released a new song and they're about to drop a new album. I'm happy
U lucky Man! I've been waiting for 2 years
Yo same just discovered them yesterday in a TH-cam shorts
This is the moment I had right before their last album dropped \m/
Welcome buddy.
Yea man I don't listen to deathcore, mostly tech death or black metal but SOI is 🔥🔥🔥.
I am in serious danger of overplaying this track. I’ve probably listened to it around 20 times since I discovered it 2 days ago.
same
I'm probably going to do the same here, was a very pleasant surprise
Same 😂I've played for every day for 5 months straight
Worth it
understandable
I'm not at all exaggerating when I call them geniuses. This is the band that got me into melodic deathcore more than 4 years ago. They remain the best to this day.
No doubt Chris Wiseman is one of the best active songwriters today. Between SOI and Currents, he’s just too good.
This new drummer from Contrarian is the shit....
@C B I got ur back bro
This is Symphonic Deathcore 🖤
This is not melodic deathcore, beetch pls. If you call it melodic deathcore then you know nothing about something being "melodic" xd.
I love a breakdown as much as anyone else.
But this right here is a masterpiece. Unrelentingly punishing without a single breakdown. Just pure, razor sharp savagery and elegance.
I know I'm gonna miss some breakdowns but ben said on his twitch or band's twitch that they wan't to move on to the Death metal side more
@@danielvizcarra6730 Yeah man, but honestly if they keep this up we will be just fine lol. This is fricking punishing and beautiful with this new direction.
@@danielvizcarra6730 If they keep up with what Elegy was, then I couldn't careless if they drop breakdowns all together tbh, and that is kinda scary for me to say haha
I always felt like Ben was more into death metal than deathcore, glad they're not afraid to change and make even more iconic sound of their own
Never really been a death core fan, and I’ve only just got into SOI within like the last month, but if they’re going along more of death metal/melodic vibe then fuck me im along for the ride
Every song I’ve heard has kept me holding on, they’re a fantastic band and Wiseman is definitely up there with the best songwriters in the whole metal scene
You’re exactly right. Take a look at Bens Instagram once, it’s filled with straight up death metal and other genres that definitely aren’t deathcore.
I mean it's great for Ben (if he's more into death metal then death core) but they've lost me since they left DC behind
But good for them, evolving is good and important
@@Randybobandy024 lol deathcore is so lame. This shit is on another level
@@samholdsworth420 genuinely asking. Why are people shitting on deathcore? I don't get it
Dude symphonic deathcore is something else
From the depths of the unknown...
Shadow of Intent make their return...
And so they bring...
Another brutal banger.
I'll gladly wait for pieces like this
The cringe.
I fucking love it - these dudes have never produced a bad song. Shadow of Intent has got to be my favourite band by a mile.
Or your favourite band by 1.6 kilometer.
@@ninizeldav7174 sure bro
S TIER
HELL YEAHHHHH \m/. Can't wait for Aug 5
Tha drummer.
Those pinch harmicks
That vocalist
Tha song
What is a pinch harmick?
When homie said
RaZaFoFooZaZaRaZaFoFooZa
I felt that.
😔🤟
SAME😂😂😂😂
I dont know the lyrics.. that's exactly how i sing it in the shower
@@oneday4543 i know all of them somehow lol
The first 20 seconds of this are the definition of hit the ground running. What an opening.
And Bryce Butler feels like an absolute perfect fit with the group.
Absolutely killing it gentlemen.
Umm yes times infinity. The sound has improved so much and the addition of the monster Bryce Butler slamming the drum makes it even better. Bryce is also literally the nicest person you will ever meet in your life. Such a pure spirit and humble guy
yuss bryce is the shit
Bryce is awesome 🔥
Bryce, while being the absolute best drummer to ever come outta Dallas, is the sweetest and most humble guy I have EVER met.
Anthony Barron or whatever already quit this band too?
@@aprioris.knowledge2765 yeah he's now the drummer for babymetal
The accumulative length of the bands hair is in direct correlation to how much death metal will be present.
Underrated comment.
Precisely
this Garnier commercial sounds pretty fkn dope 😋
fr. They all have extremely long hair. This would literally be Beyond Creation if they all grew facial hair and added a fretless bass to the mix, lole.
This can't be loud enough!!!!!
i can hear influences of the beatles
🤘🏻When TH-cam recommends something good. 🤘🏻
This band is underrated and they’ve put out some of the best this genre has
If still think they are the top tier of their genre.
@Fractal Chaos It makes a point, when subpar bands of the gender have way more hype and sells.
@Fractal Chaos We've hit that point where anything in the metal and hardcore community is now considered underrated for no other reason than to garner likes on a comment.
@Fractal Chaos I don’t think you understand views. Views isn’t just new viewers. It’s anytime someone looks at the video. They also are often not mentioned in media discussions. So if your whole goal was to be a contrarian feel free to scroll on by. I’m not really in the mood to argue with you.
@Fractal Chaos I think you are a bit confused, I said record sales, not TH-cam views.
I’m a newbie to this band don’t mind admitting that. These guys along with Lorna and STP are at the top Of my deathcore list. Bens vocals are amazing!
They aren't deathcore anymore.
@@TobikunOuO yeah but majority of their music still is so I think it's still fine to keep referring them as deathcore for now. While I agree that they are definitely leaning towards deathmetal, majority of listeners are from the deathcore fan base
couldnt have said it better
@Adam Hill I disagree heavily, but it's just a matter of preference
Nearly melodic death metal now
I’m just glad I was sitting on the toilet when the breakdown hit.
Same
Unfortunately. I wasn't. Now my panties are soiled.
Your panties were blessed.
@@eggpod4567 name checks out
Same
Ben duerr with long hairs looks like a young version of corpsegrinder
And i enjoy it
These guys are just not missing , this song is amazing. New drummer seems like a great fit for the band !
Bryce is amazing, saw him do a cover of Barren and Breathless Macrocosm and he nailed it
They played at Southport hall in Jefferson. Bryce is fun to watch.
What happened to the other one?
@@antenna7002 I think they just parted ways? I didnt see anything other than this new guy got announced. Hopefully it was amicable
@@huntermengel2683 I don't think there's bad blood between them. Anthony Barone had the opportunity to be in Beneath the Massacre and just went for it. He did a splendid job on their latest album, btw.
As a Metalhead, I see modern times reflected in the lyrics. As a Halo Nerd, it's a description of The Great Schism. Melancholic melodies and beautiful riffs abound this tune! 🖤🤘
Thanks for clarifying that. I was sitting here wondering to myself, “what halo lore is this from” 🤔 lol
@@L0nely_Driver69 They might not have intended to have Halo references, but I see them regardless. Probably reading too much into it haha
*cymbal company: how many splashes do you want?
*drummer: yes
Those verse chugs fucking kill it. The drumming changes make it sound even better.
This is incredible! I’m absolutely hooked on the deathcore/black metal infusion and absolutely love this song; I prefer the “opera/orchestra” sound over breakdowns or melodic riffs these days and this was exactly what I was hoping for their new material to sound like. New Shadow of Intent AND Brand of Sacrifice this year: it’s a great year for metal.
Where is the black metal here though??
@@TravisRyan9 can we please not get into that, don’t ruin my vibe. I’m not a black metal specialist, and have been appreciating black metal elements a lot for the past couple of years; Ben has stated in an interview a while back that their guitarist brought those elements to the band and since then you’re seeing it a lot now with other bands. I don’t mean to sound like an elitist or disrespect the proper definition of black metal, just want to appreciate the sound that bands like this bring and it’s what I’ve been hooked on more than anything these days.
AND new Lorna Shore - bruh, this year is gonna be *chefs kiss*
@@bpadelman New Worm Shepherd, Angelmaker, Enterprise Earth and Archspire too
@@medusa6491 + Carnifex and Slaughter to Prevail
These guys right here, these fucking guys RIGHT HERE, they are the future of metal
The kings are back! 🤘🔥💀
100% digging this more Death Metal approach.
Listening to new Shadow of Intent while getting a tooth pulled.
I can't feel it but I know I'm smiling like an idiot.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
What happened here? I fucking love this! They've seemingly dropped a lot of their deathcore elements for more straight up technical/melodic death metal, it's absolutely great! I can even here some Soreption influences in here, very nice!
Honestly i’ve loved what they’ve done in every venture and variation between and within albums
Bryce always looks so happy while playing...
The musicianship of these dudes keeps growing and evolving, just like their hair haha
I'm looking forward to the new album! 🔥
Theyre like samson, hair gives them the power 🤣
So. Damn. Groovy.
🔥👨🎤
Love the straight up death metal vibes on this song. I love their atmospheric melodic stuff too but this song is a banger.
*They've finally reached Dethklok.*
Black dahlia*
@@youtubesbichasspolicys5888 Lol my man this sounds nothing like TBDM. No highs or frys, blastbeats for days.
Chris has the some of the best riffs. Loving the more death metal style on this track. Good stuff and hype for that new record
i love shadow of intent. One of the best melodic bands I listened. So beautifull
why can't I like this more than once.
Why does this band doesn't get as much hype as lorna shore ? It's clearly better
The intricate working of tempo changes, melody, and timing on this song is crazy. They are top tier metal
Love the new song dudes. Was delighted to see Bryce's face at the beginning of the video too. Love that dude!
Every time this song comes up I think youtube switched my playlist over to Infant Annihilator. The guitar at the beginning sounds so much like something they would do and the bwoop sound.
Melodic deathcore is beautiful. This band makes my anxiety go away.
Crisp, clean, unrelenting, and punishing death metal music. Shadow of Intent is the best.
This band never fails to give me chills.
So many sick vocal patterns in this track! 🔥Stoked for more!
They blended everything... This is amazing.. The melodies, the groove... Wow! Just wow!
I'm here because some dude was complaining that you guys were mentioned in a death metal fb group I'm in because you're "deathcore" ...and I just subbed after hearing this.
Black metal influnenced vocals flows, death metal inspired riffage and melodeath intertwined melodies, add some hardcore shouts parts and this band will be the 100% perfection of deathcore.
There's no black metal in this one.
@@jborreggine8759 There is imo
@@jborreggine8759 don't get me wrong i didn't say the black metal riffs or symphonies, i said the ben's vocal rhythms and flows are similar to some dimmu borgir and carach angren songs even through he's doing straight lows
Some kind of death Metal evolution we should call you guys...I'm very happy how you can debug this style into a new an evolved one, I would say .
Ben has such a great guttural sound while still mainting good enunciation. Love that so much.
It's so good to listen to deathcore that's truer to the death metal roots, than the "core" bit. After all the Slaughter to Prevail, Lorna Shore, Carnifex type stuff this summer, this is a welcome reprieve.
Couldn't agree more
agreed!! i’d go as far as to call this just flat out death metal
@UC6zW1S5RXG24kvj8wPULQ7w I don't mind those either but they do feel like the edgelord two chug bree bree of today. Just juiced up on steroids and protools.
@@g0r3_f4n4t1c I’d straight up call this death metal, it gives me mad Amon Amarth/Dimmu Borgir vibes and neither of them are “core” bands
Lorna Shore is straight up too much for me. I haven't listened to there old stuff but the new tracks sound like they are trying to be epic and symphonic like SOI but it just feels like someones trying to get my attention by poking me at 100000bpm
Man, a year later and I still have this song on repeat most of the time…It’s a masterpiece! ❤️❤️❤️
Chris has an incredible way of writing melodies that Ben is able to perfectly mingle with his lyrical placement and cadence. His vocal content isn't the focal point which is amazing, especially in deathcore, and he is almost more like a percussive instrument adding more sustain to the music itself.
ALL HAIL THE KING OF DEATHCORE 🔥
Cringe.
@@wowno5763 no you
Dunno if I'd even call this Deathcore. Sounds more like Tech Death, just with a Deathcore production. Good shit whatever it is
@@richiefarrell4726 definitely has that death metal feel, deathcore elements still show here and there tho
@@richiefarrell4726 nah, this is not tech death.
Metal has great days ahead of him, succession is assured ! I rise my beer for you from France
Ben Duerr is the greatest thing Connecticut has ever produced
Dannng this song is a great debut with Bruce B as the new drummer, cant wait to hear more
Hi👑
Ben Duerr the voice of a god on this genre.
Keep up the good work guys.
Greetings from Cape Verde.
One of the most underrated bands in the scene.
New hair, new look and fresh arrangement. Love it
That fucking power stance 2:43 love it
I'm really liking their new style that they're going for best symphonic death metal ive heard since last year 💯
These guys will go down in history as one of the best melodic deathcore bands in history
Everytime I think they set the mark to high and won´t be able to up their last album.. they come up with something like this. Absolutely insane! Can´t wait to see you guys tour europe!
Everytime you guys blow me away. Come to New Zealand when you can!!! Its a dream of mine to see you live
They’re matured so much 😭😭😭
Wish I could hear this song for the first time once again.
Never heard of these guys but bruh, havent heard something this beautifully harmonic since TBDM nocturnal album.. gonna dig deeper.
I have yet to hear a bad song from these guys. They keep pushing boundaries and I respect that. It's refreshing.
A Fleshgod Apocalypse fan: Guys! Your music is delicious to listen to. Omg!!! I love extreme metal with symphonic parts.
A new fan here!
Yeah, I agree, Fleshgod Apocalypse are really awesome and Kerim is a beast on the drums 🔥🤘🏻
Wow 😳
Chris and Ben with long hair?! This band couldn't be more badass.
Im not even that much of a metal head and this is fire
One of the best bands out today. Song fucking rips!
Hell yeah dude, when I seen the line up as I lay dying and whitechapel with them playing, I never heard of them and looked them up and was like, why the fuck aren't they the headline!?!?!
I had a horrible day today and very much needed this... And we got that redux of ingested.
One of the most outstanding metal band today, period.
The intro of this song sounds like "Alpha & Omega" by Nightland.
Love It!!!
The long hair suits ben so fucking well. Im legit jealous. That aside I felt this band peaked with reclaimer and didn't think the last album was as impressive or impactful. But this is on a whole other level, the genre melding goong on here is Absolutely massive. Incredible job lads.
Bennnn!!¡!!¡!!!!!¡!!!! Banger track as always welcome back boys!
Best metal band out right now for sure 😈 guys literally write perfect metal songs
Best metal band right now agree to disagree
I discovered these guys just yesterday after listening to their cover of Laid to Rest and holy fucking fuck am I in love!
Very well done, they just gained another fan, melodic deathcore, a lot of drum technique, they are well framed. Hugs from Africa, Angola.
That's a location you don't see very often lol. Great stuff dude! Hails from Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Waves from far away Greenland👋🤘😂
@@atiagooqkinguliaalu4027 Hell yeah. TH-cam should be metalheaven for you then!
This is what many deathcore bands miss when mixing in symphonic sound not letting it stand out also the guitar solo. THE GUITAR SOLO.
