Reload 2027 is thus gaining an act that approaches deathcore as a complete sonic experience: orchestral power, the coldness of blackened and death metal, technical precision\u2014and a voice that ties it all together. <\/p>\n<p>And yes: That was actually supposed to happen in 2025. But it had to be canceled. So it&#8217;s all the better that it&#8217;s finally happening now.  <\/p>\n<p>The project began in 2013 in Connecticut as a Halo-inspired studio project by Ben Duerr and Chris Wiseman. The band&#8217;s name and early themes came directly from the game&#8217;s universe. <\/p>\n<p>And then came the moment when it became clear: This is bigger than just a concept. SHADOW OF INTENT have expanded their universe\u2014moving away from pure Halo lore toward darker, more universal themes like death, war, depression, and darkness. Their signature style remained, but their horizons broadened.  <\/p>\n<p>What makes them so special live is this balance: absolute intensity, but with structure. Riffs and blast beats drive the music forward, while melodies and symphonic layers add depth to the whole\u2014like a second layer that\u2019s always there. <\/p>\n<p>To mark the tenth anniversary of \u201cReclaimer,\u201d SHADOW OF INTENT is dedicating a set to this chapter that\u2019s aimed right at that. If you know, you know. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>This is the slot machine you don&#8217;t just play on the side\u2014it takes you on a ride.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2390440470 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  line-height: 1.35;\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons artist-single-social-icons\" style=\"font-size:147%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ShadowofIntentCT\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-label=\"Facebook\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip facebook\" title=\"Follow on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Follow on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shadowofintentofficial\" target=\"_blank\" data-label=\"Instagram\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip instagram\" title=\"Follow on Instagram\" aria-label=\"Follow on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shadowofintent.com\/\" data-label=\"Website\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip website tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Website\" aria-label=\"Follow on Website\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-website\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/bands\" class=\"button primary is-xxlarge artist-single-all-bands-btn show-for-small\" style=\"padding:3px 25px 0px 25px;\">\n\t<i class=\"icon-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t<span>All bands<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_702904078 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n  margin-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9183,"parent":6448,"menu_order":17,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9223","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9223"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9481,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9223\/revisions\/9481"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
