3.5 greatpeartnoy | January 14th 22

Shadow of Intent continue their path further away from Deathcore, leaning more and more on the melodeath/prog side of things. Singles are not the best tracks on this and don't quite represent the album's vibe correctly. Some tracks feel filler-ish and the songwriting sometimes uninspired, but overall there is some still some strong material on this. The opener and closing three tracks are top tier metal by any standard.

Absolutely brutal. Now THIS is how you mix an album. The sound production is clean yet retains extremely heavy crushing guitar tones that pierces through an epic melodic soundscape. Vocals are powerful and dirty to the core. Phenomenal release here. I just seriously don?t get the dislikes for this. I love it all.

Doesn't have the same lightning in a bottle magic of Melancholy, but Shadow of Intent are very good at what they do. There isn't a bad song here, but comparing the relatively tame Reconquest to Melancholy's phenomenal Dreaded Mystic Abyss represents the gap between the two albums. That said, been spinning Saurian King and the title track(s) since release; Elegy II: Devise is absolutely delicious.

On Elegy, Shadow of Intent go bigger. The production has taken a step up that I didnt realize it could, the solos go harder and Ben's lows go lower. But I dont feel like they've gone better, with this album being the first Shadow of Intent album ever to include filler songs. Many of the songs still slap, Of Fury has its sick almost Danny Elfman like lead that shouldnt work but somehow does and Elegy has its soaring chorus. But Where Millions Have Come to Die, Life in Exile, Blood In The Sands of Time and Reconquest are all entirely forgettable songs that completely kill the momentum of the album even though they are placed where they should be building to its climax. An inoffensive, but dissapointing development.

3.0 goodalkostach | January 15th 22

What a shame. This could've been a great album. But it's so immature and at moments so cringy that I had to skip tracks. When I heard "Of fury" I almost puked and said "no! Fak it, bring back the fakin' danger in the music!". In the end I skipped the track and got hit by "Intensified Genocide" which is borderline tech-death metal (imagine Archspire but with way more melody but less tech-death). If this band matures and plays melodic-tech-death, they could get far. For now, there's too much teenage-angst in this stuff and I'm regrettably too old for this shit. Nevertheless I wish those guys all the best.

3.5 greatTheTripP | January 14th 22

A further escape from their earlier albums but a solid output nonetheless, if you were looking for reclaimer material to make a comeback this will not be your style, and I as well hope for a way to mix the old with the new for future albums
