The ten song debut album by Umbra Vitae, recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios. Intro 'Decadence Dissolves' is a Schuldiner-esque calm before the storm. 'Ethereal Emptiness' and 'Atheist Aesthetic' soon rip everything apart, methodically downshifting from blackened to brutal in tone. 'Mantra of Madness' then emerges as a monster of a song, driven by inhuman drumming and traditional death metal riffing.
