Concert by Shadow of Intent at SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe.

About: Shadow of Intent

Connecticut's Shadow of Intent built their reputation on a rare combination of crushing deathcore and sweeping orchestral grandeur - five albums in, all released without major-label backing. Their 2025 record Imperium Delirium, out on Blood Blast Distribution, takes aim at imperialism, surveillance, and political decay through technically relentless metal.
