Shadow of Intent

Shadow of Intent is an American metal band based in New England

originally formed by Ben Duerr and Chris Wiseman in 2014. The band

has released four albums independently since inception, including

Primordial (2016), Reclaimer (2017), Melancholy (2019) and Elegy

(2022), which charted on Billboard at #4 Top New Artist Albums, #6

Current Hard Music Albums, and #16 on Current Rock Albums and

Current Digital Albums. 2025 brings with it the band’s newest effort,

Imperium Delirium, the most diverse and ambitious work yet.

The band’s music and subject matter centers on the many evils in the

world, whether myth or real-life events, and the future it may lead to.

Different genres of metal including death metal, black metal, symphonic

metal, progressive metal, and metalcore are blended masterfully to

create the unique sound that is Shadow of Intent. Since their first live

show at the end of 2017, Shadow of Intent have toured consistently with

bands such as Lorna Shore, Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia

Murder, Whitechapel, Chelsea Grin, Cattle Decapitation and more. The

band's lineup today consists of Ben Duerr (Vocals), Chris Wiseman

(Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards), Bryce Butler (Drums) and Andrew Monias

(Bass).
