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.{{cite web|title=Comment / News at Shade Empire official site|url=http://www.shadeempire.com/2006/?page=news}}

The album turned out to be decently successful commercially, since it reached number 25 in weekly Finnish album sales, as stated at FinnishCharts.{{cite web|title=Rank / Album Ranks for Intoxicate O.S.|url=http://finnishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Shade+Empire&titel=Intoxicate+O%2ES%2E&cat=a}}
