Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a Halo-themed conceptual project, 'Primordial' is the debut full-length from the Connecticut-based deathcore outfit Shadow of Intent. The band balances blistering technicality and intense breakdowns with sweeping symphonic arrangements. Frontman Ben Duerr's versatile guttural vocals drive the sci-fi narrative, establishing the group as a rising force in modern extreme metal.
