Shadow Of Intent - The Prelude To Bereavement Lyrics






It came from the Magellanic cloud
Taking hosts, breaking bones into new forms, not death but something more
He swept us right off of our feet and caressed our worlds with crimson flame
Taking hosts, breaking bones into new forms, not death but something more

When the sun withers and dies and the darkness takes whole
When the reign of the wicked has overcome the toll
The brainless ones and the souls of the righteous will burn our holy fucking Ecumene to the ground

Eviscerate the beast where he stands and sever each limb with precision
Each system and its sentience will be ingested to construct new worlds for his deadened empire

We can keep this secret from you no more
The time has come for us to defend our stars, our branch of the Orion Arm, and all other life that exists among us

Rise, my Prometheans!
It is time for us to wage war!
Let us shatter their bones and let the skies rain coarse with their blood

Relish in the miasma, their rotting stench, and let the remnants of their singed bodies lie devoured by fire
For if we face defeat, this will just be the prelude of our bereavement

    100th comment

  40. D.... G....

    this band is actually ok compared to all the other shit the Deathcore industry is producing now days

  41. R.... I....

    Already better than RoS and Infant Annihilator. These two bands are imo so overrated. Shadow of Intent sounds way cooler and they deserve way more recognition than those two.

    R.... I....

    An abstract illusion is better than all of them ;)

    R.... I....

    Abstract Illusion is more proggy then Tech/Death/Core whatever this is.

    R.... I....

    Reddusk Ironsky someone with all the fucking reason.

  42. J.... K....

    Greatest intro of all times

  47. P.... ....

    The fact that you guys are a Halo themed band makes me so fucking happy, love your music and wish you guys a lot of success

  48. D.... B....

    The Didact's Will.

    Bodies come closer to the time, where the need to connect will no longer be possible.

    I've returned against my will, an' I am here to cause omnigalatic Peace.


    That is my message for the Didact.

    Do you remember, a Promeanthean's body? Men look like. *t* _h_Is.

  50. j.... c....

    intro is sick as hell

  51. S.... ....

  52. D.... D....

  53. K.... M....

    K.... M....

    I don't hear any Be'lakor in it, but that might be just me.

    K.... M....

    Kevin M A few tiny bits remind me of Be'lakor. I love them.

  54. K.... T....

  60. L.... T....

    Just thanks to shadow of intend for that INSANE awesome song!!!! Thats no more music thats art :O :O <3 <3

  61. B.... L....

    This album is about Halo

    B.... L....

    Yeah, Shadow of Intent was the name of a Covenant Cruiser, the Battle of the magninot Sphere is the last battle between the forerunners and the flood

    B.... L....

    Thomas Hughes All the songs are about halo lol. u can tell by the lyrics and band name. fucking amazing

    B.... L....

    SAIYANLINEAGE \\\\\\\ this song is about the flood in general and yes I necroed

    B.... L....

    Nooooooooooo! REALLY? I couldn't tell...

    B.... L....

    The band is about Halo.

  62. M.... ....

    So many goosebumps and eargasms in one song! You guys are awesome!!

    M.... ....

    @MsJoeyJody They are great in general but when you compare them to other bands in the genre, they quickly pale in comparison to bands like Obscura or The Faceless.

    M.... ....

    +Jari The Sauna Lover Obscura (not Deathcore) and The Faceless (not Deathcore since a long time) aren't not even close to average, and doesn't use minor harmonic as their most important scale (like SOI does). Also, they don't have Symphonic elements (this band uses these symphonic elements greatly by the way). Plus, SOI vocalist is one of the best in the Deathcore scene.
    I'd say this band is not even close to the average. Their sound is very unique, giving the fact that they are inside a previously created genre. I, personally, can't find a band very similar to this (and i'm a great -core fan)
    I love this and I don't like The Faceless and Obscura too much, SOI doesn't sound like them

    M.... ....

    @Jari The Sauna Lover Not a big fan of The Faceless. You can't compare Shadow of Intent to them.

    M.... ....

    Héricles França They (to me) sound similar to Rings of Saturn.

    M.... ....

    wtf? Obscura and The Faceless? Really? They are nothing compared to this band. The Faceless is not even deathcore anymore. It is your opinion that you may like them more than SOI but to say they are paled by them? Nope, they have a more unique sound, better than The Faceless.

  63. N.... P....

    the next infant anhiliator

    N.... P....

    Nitesh Pokhrel more technical and better and neither sounds like infant.

  64. M.... ....

    thank god for suggestions

  65. S.... I....

    haven't heard such a killer album in a while! Keep it up guys.

  66. D.... ....

    16,666 view. yes. hail Satan.

    D.... ....

    2nd best album next to the elysian grandeval galériarch by infant annihilator

    D.... ....

    +Willi Lib Heil Satanas

    D.... ....

    @DddyBaphomet666 I love that album

  67. d.... v....

    one of the most epic intros ive heard in years

    d.... v....

    Yes for the love of god can shadow teach all these other bands how to stsrt a god damn album

    d.... v....

    In todays death metal scene you really have to blow brains out from the onset or you automatically start from behind.

    d.... v....

    davi vexis And outros too...

  68. v.... c....

    A band, that is mightier than Rings of Saturn in destroying the universe

    v.... c....

    They're as mighty as the Rings that the Forerunners made... Now press the button, we have Flood to kill.

  69. V.... ....

    This is so insanely good, right in my sweetspot!

    V.... ....

    VistaSuxx
    Whole album had me like "holy fuck"

  70. J.... F....

    I'm so impressed this is absolutely incredible!

  71. D.... ....

    4:38 - 5:51 EARGASM!!!

    D.... ....

    Dash71101 I would *NEVER* expect something like this in a deathcore song, so beautiful, the whole song is fucking beautiful

  72. A.... ....

    THE CHILLS ARE STRONG IN THIS ONE! BEAST ALBUM!!!! <3

  73. M.... M....

    Did i just lost virginity?!

  76. R.... Y....

    godamn dude this is fvcking sick, Boo + Shore of Elysium + The Raven Autharchy + Within the Ruins

  77. S.... B....

    Guys, your music freaks out so much that I get goosebumps on my ballsack! I do find the higher aggro vocals better than the porky grunting... but the fact remains that you are the best band I have ever heard! (And I've heard quite a few)

  78. J.... I....

    God fucking damit that fcking introoo

  79. S.... G....

    Damn awesome music

  80. M.... C....

    Im crying of happines cuz for first time in my life i found a band better than Rings of Saturn.... omg..

    M.... C....

    Most likely because they have a backing track consisting of their synths and their bass. They are fairly reliant on their backing track seeming they don't have a bass player. Rings of Saturn can definitely play their shit, extremely well. Not only are Lucas and Miles extremely impressive live but their vocalist is insane and Aaron Stechauner plays the drums real tight, even though the drums on Lugal Ki en were written/produced or whatever by Aaron Kitcher which would be fuckin hard. They're good dudes and they make mad music whether you're into it or not, it is a little video-gamey compared to other deathcore/metal bands but that's something I personally enjoy about them.

    M.... C....

    marry me

    M.... C....

    Soul Dragon Amen

    M.... C....

    Manu Cuevas angel maker?

    M.... C....

    Jari The Sauna Lover if RoS sucks and IA is overrated, this is ok, what are good Deathcore bands? Those 3 are top tier Deathcore bands
