Hidden Intent releases a new track and video called “The Ruins”

be the year ‘Terrorform’ shakes the foundations of heavy music.

Hidden Intent, the Australian thrash band, has just dropped their most aggressive track yet, “The Ruins,” along with a music video. This single is the first glimpse of their upcoming fourth album, ‘Terrorform,’ which promises to be a thrash masterpiece. Packed with relentless riffs, headbang-worthy breakdowns, and enough energy to get any metalhead moshing, “The Ruins” is a dark journey through life’s passages.

The music video for “The Ruins” showcases intense live footage from Hidden Intent’s electrifying performance at Adelaide’s iconic Froth and Fury Festival. Raw, heavy, and unmistakably Hidden Intent, this track has been mixed and mastered by the renowned Dennis Koehe (Exumer, Sodom, Lacuna Coil), ensuring a sonic experience that hits harder than a drop bear nosediving from a eucalyptus tree. It’s time to crank up the volume, unleash your inner headbanger, and immerse yourself in the chaos of ‘The Ruins’ because this is just the beginning – ‘Terrorform’ is on the horizon, and it’s set to obliterate everything in its path.

Following their acclaimed album ‘Dead End Destiny,’ Hidden Intent is taking their sound to new depths with ‘Terrorform.’ This album, a play on the term “terraform,” which refers to the transformation of a planet to support life, delves into the complexities of the human psyche. It’s a bold call to action to “terraform our minds,” urging listeners to shed preconceived notions, break free from self-imposed limitations, and escape the destructive cycles that hold us back. The ultimate aim is to strip away the old and construct a new foundation based on free-thinking and positivity for a brighter future.

Lead guitarist Phil sheds light on the band’s vision for ‘Terrorform,’ stating, “We’re expanding on our past work with Hidden Intent, incorporating more melodic and lighter elements, while simultaneously pushing into heavier and more extreme territory—brutal, unapologetically offensive.” Metalheads, brace yourselves because 2025 is primed to be the year that ‘Terrorform’ revolutionizes the heavy music scene.

Catch Hidden Intent live at the upcoming Double Album Launch show in Adelaide this March, alongside Headbore and other exciting acts. With ‘Terrorform’ on the horizon, this promises to be a night of unforgettable metal mayhem.
