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.

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]

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