Decrepit Birth

This highly-charged California outfit has two albums to their credit, with the most recent being Diminishing Between Worlds, released in 2008. Diminishing is a brutal tech death assault, overflowing with complex riffs, time changes, insane drumming, the works (though several reports state that the first album, 2003's ... And Time Begins, is of a very different death metal style). For the uninitiated, the standard disclaimers apply -- this is seriously complex and brutally heavy, with the drawback (to some) being that songs tend to blur together, as each song is really nothing more than a neverending string of short-lived riffs. An exhausting listen, no question about that, Diminishing ranks among the best of its class.
