Wow, were to begin? When I first heard this album I fell in love with it right on the spot. The super tight riffage and brilliant songwriting just rammed through my skull on first listen. In addition, the vocals are excellent with prominent deep growls and nice variations of highs. The songs are anything but boring or generic and will keep your ears close to the speakers at any given moment. Production-wise it's instrumentally defined which allows for a very pleasing mix of melody while still keeping a ferocious sound. Though you can still hear that the production quality needs some polishing. Needless to say this album is a gem in my collection.
What's special about this 'band' is that it's a one-piece fronted by Shawn Whitaker. This means the drums are programmed, however they flow in nicely on every song. Shawn himself plays almost inhumanly tight when playing live with the accompanying demonic, though hilarious, facial expressions.
Sadly though it was announced in June of 2012 that Insidious Decrepancy is no more. On the other hand Shawn is going to be a part of a new band called'Without Form' and will be performing Insidious Decrepancy songs under 'Shawn Whitaker'.

Summary
This album is a masterpiece on the death metal scene and of Shawn Whitaker personally. It stands on it's own two earth-crushing feet. This gem is absolutely worth a listen and most definitely worth a purchase; an essential must-have for fans of tight death metal!
