* LeadDrummer: Anthony Barone and Bryce Butler are both known for their technical ability. Barone is also known for his YouTube channel, while Butler is known for his massive amount of projects and live fill-ins for other bands, though he has told people that Shadow of Intent is his main gig now and he will not be doing much outside of them save for occasional session work and maybe a fill-in every once in a while between tours, and possibly brief runs with Circuit of Suns if they ever start doing anything again.

Shadow of Intent is an American deathcore band. Once just one of many bedroom Bandcamp deathcore projects that was established with no intention of greater success or exiting the Facebook group/[[Website/{{Reddit}} r/deathcore]] circuit, they rapidly found themselves becoming ''the'' sleeper hit of the online deathcore scene, and turned into one of the most promising up-and-comers in the scene once they started playing live.
Formed in Connecticut in 2013 by Ben Duerr (vocals) and Chris Wiseman (guitars, programming), the band's early days made the rounds on Facebook through Duerr's vigorous promotion of his new project, and by mid-2014, ''Inferi Sententia'', their debut EP, was available for download. The band continued on for the next year or so while Duerr continued to help build hype, and by the very beginning of 2016, ''Primordial'', their first full-length, had been released. The band's blossoming hype spurred Duerr and Wiseman to get a full band, and Matt Kohanowski wound up joining on drums at some point during the year, while Federico Zuccarelli and Keith Kohlhepp joined in on rhythm guitar and bass (respectively) at some point during the beginning of 2017. This lineup recorded ''Reclaimer'', their sophomore full-length, which was released that spring and was hailed as a modern deathcore classic almost instantly, and their hype had mushroomed to unbelievable levels. Around the end of 2017, the band finally announced what everyone had been waiting for: their first live shows. The two dates (at the Webster Underground in Hartford, Connecticut, and the Gramercy Theater in New York City) both sold out (and, in the case of the former, had people come from as far as Germany to see them), and it was clear that they were there to stay, though Zuccarelli left at some point during the year and was not replaced.
Around the beginning of 2018, the band announced their first tour (a regional leg supporting Music/{{Carnifex}} and Music/{{Oceano}}) and dropped a new single. Later that spring, the band announced their first full-length tour supporting Music/TheBlackDahliaMurder and Music/{{Whitechapel}} early that summer, followed by a late fall/early winter coheadliner with Spite. Due to disputed reasons (officially a family emergency), the band had to drop off the coheadliner with Spite and lost Kohlhepp and Kohanowski. The band welcomed in Andrew Monias and Anthony Barone as their replacements, but opted to reenter the studio to record a third full-length. ''Melancholy'', their third album, dropped in August of 2019, and as of the writing of this page, they are preparing to embark on a tour supporting Music/DespisedIcon.

* SymphonicMetal: They had overtones of this during their deathcore days, but they fully embraced a shift to symphonic death metal on ''Melancholy''.
