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).
