Originally The Intention Was To Play Devastating Brutal Technical Death Metal Mixed With Influences From The Early 1990’s Florida Death Metal Scene. Since Matt And Derek Had At One Time Both Played In Southern California Band Deprecated It Was Easy For The Two Of Them To Begin Collaborating On Material For The First Full Length Decrepit Birth Album “...And Time Begins”. In Fall Of 2002 With The Help Of Friend Tim Yeung On Session Drums They Entered Legion Studios To Begin Recording. Almost A Year Later “…And Time Begins” Was Released On Unique Leader Records Artwork By Dan Seagrave. The Album Had Production Issues But Still Managed To Forge A Very Solid Fan Base In The Death Metal Scene. The Band Went Through A Dry Period Of Playing No Shows Due To The Lack Of A Drummer.
