Shadow of Intent Live at New England Metal & Hardcore Fest 2025 | Symphonic Deathcore Titans

Описание: Step into the epic brutality of Shadow of Intent, Connecticut’s symphonic deathcore giants, delivering a crushing performance at New England Metal & Hardcore Fest 2025. With orchestral arrangements, blackened atmospheres, and punishing deathcore breakdowns, this band continues to raise the bar for modern extreme metal.

Band Bio & History:
Formed in 2013 in Hartford, Connecticut, Shadow of Intent began as a studio project led by vocalist Ben Duerr and guitarist/producer Chris Wiseman (also of Currents). Originally inspired by Halo video game lore, their early material quickly gained traction for its unique blend of cinematic symphonics and relentless deathcore brutality.

Their debut, Primordial (2016), introduced fans to their concept-driven style, while Reclaimer (2017) elevated them into the larger deathcore conversation. By the release of Melancholy (2019), the band had evolved beyond their Halo-inspired origins, exploring themes of mortality, despair, and human corruption — backed by soaring orchestral elements and devastating heaviness.

Their 2022 record, Elegy, pushed their sound further into blackened deathcore territory, drawing critical praise and placing them alongside heavyweights like Lorna Shore, Fit For An Autopsy, and Thy Art Is Murder. In 2024, Shadow of Intent unleashed Across the Styx, a record cementing them as innovators in the symphonic deathcore genre.

About This Performance:
Their set at NE Metal & Hardcore Fest 2025 is a showcase of both technical precision and raw atmosphere — featuring fan favorites like Gravesinger, Barren and Breathless Macrocosm, and Of Fury. From sweeping orchestral intros to bone-splitting breakdowns, Shadow of Intent command the stage with intensity and cinematic grandeur.
