Lyrics:
Blood in the sands of time
The ageless clock is counting down
The purveyors and crusaders bygone live on renowned
Some dare aspire to join the ranks of the gods
The certainty of your safety now drains with every hour
Only the dead have seen the end of war
All sons of the many gods
The race of men
Begotten end
Empires fall
Years have progressed and are forsaken
The meek are cast down
The strongest garnering the gains
Sounds of war echo on in solemn spirit
The blind, the sick, the old, the young, even the demons hear it
And as time passes on, these situations remain a constant in the name of indemnification
The oozing black heart below the surface is calling outward
And those who dare listen shall be relentlessly pulled under
Worldwide crisis
Divinity rehashed
The world you see that surrounds you was built from murder
The cycle of death continues and we push it further
Always mobilized
Eager to pulverize
Corrupt, destabilize
Autonomy strung up high
The whole are dead to rights
Nothing shall ever suffice
Our end is prophecized
The suicide of our kind
Rejecting signs as the grand clock unwinds
Oil pipelines pour spilled blood in the sands of time
We walk the earth and still the ground, it trembles
Transcending elements
From death we cannot hide
Suicide of humankind
Kiss of death claiming lives
To persevere is no option
Reset, rewind
Suicide of humankind
Eden is falling apart
Sounds of war echo on
The sounds of war echo on
The sheer will of mankind can hold on only for so long
Acting as though the last grain has faltered
This band is operating at a whole different level than everyone right now. Fucking unreal
They recognize the spiritual weakness of the planet, while still breeding violent energy that refuses to be withheld. We are beings. Let us be.
Eh, Vildhjarta definitely holds the thrown.
check out recent archspire and inferi releases.....might make u want to eat ur words....but seriously this is a cool vid but I've just never been impressed with this band. Def better than their earlier stuff that I've heard.
Another yummy track. Thank you gentlemen
sex!
Sam, you have to cover them. It's time
Underneath a sullen moon drum cover? Pleeeeeesss 🙏🏼🥶
Ohhhh yurr
O yurr?
Chuck Billy is a sleeper vocalist. People forget albums like "Low" and "Demonic". This is great shit right here.
4:00 on is just... insane. This whole album is incredible, but that part just hits so goddamn hard
I don't understand how a band can put out so many beautiful bangers.
I remember Ben talking about this song being his fav one on the album. It’s def my 2nd fav song on their album! Amazing music video!
same following up behind the Elegy trilogy
What’s ur fav song of the album?
@@emjaylongjohn5088 saurian king. Life of exile is a close 2nd. I love the lyrics of that song. How about yours?
@@yg-dp7mo yeah man! Elegy II is just wow and how it connects to Elegy III is just phenomenal.
@@emjaylongjohn5088 definitely the Elegy trilogy it’s such a similar epic closer like Malediction which is my all time fav shadow song
This ending combined with the animation is so intense and terryfying at the same time, they manage to depict how horryfying war is in just 1 minute. I can't even explain how much I appreciate this band on every single level.
ALSO HOW THE FUCK THIS WHOLE SONG BUT ESPECIALLY IN 2:56 SOUNDS LIKE AN ACTUAL BOMB ATTACK
Yeah hope for Ukraine 🇺🇦
They are suffering right now
@@derrick7384 Palestine has been suffering far worse for more than 70 years and no one gives a shit.
4:00 one of the best blast sections I've ever heard
Everyone toalking bout 4:00 on up but 1:37 to 3:15 is God tier
100% correct 🤘
This claymation is not fun claymation like I expected... this is brutal and so relevant.
Not to mention very well done
So original... Blood, war, oil. Wow such insight.
I want to see a drum playthrough of this song. Right at 4:02 is INSANE!
Absofuckinglutely
It’s up now buddy. Just uploaded it 16 hours ago
Hell yeah, these boys have come so far. Evolving with each album and releasing constant bangers. Now they're touring with Cannibal Corpse! Wishing you lads all the best, thank you for everything.
Saw them perform earlier this week in Brooklyn with cannibal corpse, was a fantastic concert, absolutely insane
You mean devolving?
Cannibal Corpse is a band from 1988, to sound more and more like them is the opposite of evolution.
@@haxborn im sorry but when did i or this band say/show that they sound like Cannibal Corpse? Sounds like you’re projecting my dude. I mentioned CC because they are still huge in the death metal scene and to be able to tour with them means a band has grown significantly. Think before commenting.
Went to a show on this tour These guys opened the show strong
I saw them in May with Cannibal Corpse Lorna Shore Signs of the Swarm and a few other good ones I can’t express how awesome it was. Totally fed my soul
Я услышал альбом еще до того, как он вышел, послушав слив со средним качеством, но уже тогда меня зацепил этот трек. Все тащатся от момента 4 минуте, а меня пробирает до мурашек на 1:11, особенно, когда Бен говорит, что звуки войны слышат и слепые, и больные, и старые, и молодые, и ДАЖЕ ДЕМОНЫ их слышат. Трек просто шедевр!
I can't get over just how good this is,
Chuck Billy just sit's perfectly into it all.
I want to compliment Bryce's work on this album, he is such an incredible drummer, creative and spot on, with so much feel and passion, I love his playing and he fits the band perfectly. Hail to you Bryce
Thank you so much 😭😭🖤
@@brycebutlerdrums What hand technique do you do for a blast that fast at 4:00? I’ve watched some playthroughs but haven’t seen THAT fast of a blast yet.
@@Conundrums._ no special technique, just a combination of wrist and fingers!! 🖤
@@brycebutlerdrums classic. Great drum tracks, can’t wait to see y’all in Houston!
Amen! SO says his DAD
lyrical art + musical art + visual art
an all-around masterpiece. you guys never disappoint
Chuck Billy's death vocals fit right in with this song, which is why he is my favorite metal vocalist and Testament has been my favorite metal band since 1991!
Tragic music for our tragic days
4:00 best part, not only of the whole song. But the entire album. Possibly their whole discography dunno yet. But insanely brutal
Dope Art Direction for such an impactful song during hard times like now
Was thinking the same...
Unreal song. Phenomenal lyrics. 10/10 video. Hauntingly relevant today..
Perfect time to release
Awesome work, reminds me of Tool's music videos back then. I love that style. :)
I was just thinking this...
Давно уже ничего подобного не видел . А здесь видно , что была продана очень мощная творческая работа . В наше время , это редкость .
The combination of the gutturals, frantic riffing and blast beat hit you like a train. Not that I expect less from this band though.
i cant believe yall got the LEGEND Chuck Billy on this! HELL YEAH!
This song is a banger, one of my favorites from the album, but this hits different today. A masterpiece as always.
Wow so original i love this kind of videoclips not just a performance of the band. This is art
Chuck Billy one of my favorites, he tends to always be down to do guest vocals. I remember he did it with Light This City too
The clay animation is one of the best and most disturbing ones I have ever seen. This song and its visuals are an absolute masterpiece!
Another amazing song that came out recently with a similar music video is Cognizance "Syntheticus II - Refuge." Super badass with David Diepold on the drums :D
And that'd be an extremely awesome tour :
TESTAMENT and SHADOW OF INTENT
Shadow of intent is revitalizing a sub genre of metal that I was beginning to think was growing to become stale and uninspired. I have been listening to these guys since 2017 and the level of growth I have seen has been amazing.
Really reminds me of cattle decap but if it was a bit more melodic, this is really good.
Love this band alot.
What an insane piece! Kudos to Shayne for the incredible claymation, and kudos to Shadow of Intent for the killer track! Keep it up everyone!
I love how this video is made by the same director, who did the music video for Ingesteds "Another Breath". And it kinda feels like a sequel xD. Very fitting! :D
this video with the song remindme a lot austrian death machine vibes
Just in time
All of this bands lyrics are like a movie I have to watch a couple times to fully understand. I like it
The blast beats part at 4:00 makes so much sense.
*the year is 2341.
Music history teacher : Kids, let me introduce you to the concept of blast beats. Here is the perfect track which illustrates the necessity to use it. See, blast beats are like spices : some like it damn hot, some like it balanced - this song is an excellent example of how well balanced can blast beats be in the Metal genre*
anyone want to talk about how fking amazing this animation is?
This is so relevant with what's going on in the world right now. Fucking crazy.
4:01 I have been on the hunt trying to find this song again for this specific part. I love it so much.
Perfect mix of prog metal and deathcore
The drummer is absolutely amazing. Everything is but damnnnnn the drummer really fits perfectly
Favorite band and favorite animation style. Sick.
Shadow of Intent never fails, and neither does stop motion animation!
Very relevant song/album. Amazing work SOI
Not only Chuck Billy(Testament) killed his guest spot, 4:01 is just mental. A symphonic chaotic way to end the song.
this song has now made my day
Soooo sick! The scenes where they are being pulled through the pipeline is so eerie. Well done fellas!
10 months later this is still my fav track
So relevant on what's happening now..
Really wanna see a video of Bryce doing a drum playthrough of this song as well. Love watching the passion on that dudes face as he just absolutely fucking goes off, he always looks so damn happy!
It’s up now. Meinl uploaded it early today
The whole album is a masterpiece! These bros never disappoint! 👏
yes!
I'm calling this early, album of the year
best moment to relsease
The HEAVY INSANITY at the 4:00 Mark is BEAUTIFUL! 💯🤘🏻
Brutal, unique and amazing! I could comment this on like all of their songs tbh cause SOI have been putting out amazing tunes since their start.
Even though the albums have slightly different sound, they never dissapoint and are amazing in their own way.
This band don't need a label.
A label need this band.
This is one of the best songs this band has done so far and one of the best songs I've ever heard
Jesus christ talk about breakdowns of the year. This track is a strate banger, fucking love Shadow of Intent.
THIS NEEDS MORE VEIWS!!! I'm perplexed how this has not popped off. Insanely good stuff
I've been following this band for a while. a) Because of Halo but also because b) I love this style of metal. Having the luxury of the Clone Hero community charting all their songs and being able to play this song daily on Expert on Clone Hero is pure bliss. Thank you SOI for making this masterpiece. Easily the best song of all time followed by The Dreaded Mystic Abyss.
Great album, great song, great band, great lyrics, and great video.
Brutal and relentless without a doubt! Epic banger from start to finish. I'm impressed on how good this song is and the music video is simply astonishing. 🎧
This is how you transcend deathcore the right way.
Gave me Ingested - Another Breath vibes with both the claymation and the clean-ish(?) sections with Chuck. Well played, great video great song SoI
Always a slammer. Cant wait for the tour.
Can't wait to see you guys next month
Thanks for all the amazing music guys!
oh my ... after a hard week something is worth finally .. thank you guys .. the best thing happened in my is knowing you .. keep it up .. your creativity never ends ..that's what keeps people like me happy .
Chuck Billy always delivers!
Definitely made me wanna buy a shirt and rep them after this whole album coming out. Got dayumn!
Same bro. Just got my tax return and am tempted to pick up a few items.
Shadow of Intent is the best metal band to come out in the past 20 years 😎
I wish more modern bands used claymation
What a time to drop this banger.. Ben knew what was up
There Will Be Blood film intesifies, WHAT A BAND
Amazing video and song
Yall never dissapoint
I fking love this video. Really guys, u are awesome, Shadow is awesome.
What a cool mv
Caralho, que clipe foda, um álbum sobre a guerra logo qnd começa uma
Ouvi dizer que a banda só tem 1 temática: O jogo HALO, se isso for verdade, não pode será sobre a guerra, o que vc acha brow?
Halo foi a temática da banda durante os primeiros álbuns, esse é definitivamente sobre guerra@@jorgecustodio1519
A drum cover/playthrough video of this too maybe?? Lol :) this is absolutely sick!!!! 💯
Perfect timing to drop a video for this song. Favorite song from the album. Lyrics ring true. "The sound's of war echo on!". Praying for the innocent Ukrainians right now. 💣💥🔥
The sound's of war? L'O'L
My god 4:02 wasn't expected! Thank you for the song. So much a nice band
What a day to drop this video
Esse clipe é sensacional! Parabéns a todos os envolvidos.
The best band, the best song 🎧
easily one of my favourites from the album and shayne minott's videos are pure art, incredible
the animation work is amazing the rhythm is magnificent and the riffs
Rico!!
Love this song so much!
Dieses oooohhh bei 1.40 schickt mich immer wieder weg. Hammer Band
This is incredible 💥💥
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Nice video to accompany a great song, album is super solid
Pure art, totally beauty !!!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
So damn good
Hearing them perform this live in Berlin this January was just incredible. They performed tracks from all albums since Primordial, and that one, the coming fire and malediction were my favourites. God it was great. My first concert of this kind and started right off with bang!
