Intoxicate O.S. is the second full-length album by the Finnish metal band Shade Empire. The album was recorded at Studio Perkele in Finland.

Contents

Intoxicate O.S. is the first Shade Empire album to include a video, "Chemical God." The video was banned from MTV due to some rapid flickering scenes that might induce epileptic seizures. [1] "Slitwrist Ecstasy" had been released on a two-track single two weeks prior to the release of Intoxicate O.S.

The album turned out to be decently successful commercially, since it reached number 25 in weekly Finnish album sales, as stated at FinnishCharts. [2]

Norway's Scream Magazine gave a rating of 4 out of 6, stating that the band "way too often walk along the beaten path". [3]
