Decrepit Birth

The Profile

Decrepit Birth is an American technical death metal band from Santa Cruz, California, formed in 2001. Known for intricate guitar work and aggressive vocals, their key releases include ...And Time Begins (2003), Diminishing Between Worlds (2008), Polarity (2010), and Axis Mundi (2017).

Formed by guitarist Matt Sotelo and vocalist Bill Robinson in Santa Cruz, California; style blends technical death metal with elements of brutal death metal.

Two contrasting reviews: one slams the debut for monotony despite blistering technique; the other hails Diminishing Between Worlds for adding melody and precision without losing power. Lots of scene name-drops (Origin, Devourment, Cryptopsy) and a clear stance against slam. Overall: divided opinions, strong personalities.
