Descend into Depravity is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Dying Fetus. It was released in the United States on September 15, 2009, and worldwide on September 21, 2009. The album's release date and title had been announced on June 4, and the cover and track listing were revealed on July 15.
Descend into Depravity is the first Dying Fetus album where the band performs as a trio. With the dismissal of Duane Timlin in 2007, Trey Williams took his place as drummer. John Gallagher and Sean Beasley were left to write the lyrics and songs alone, as Mike Kimball had also left. Ever since this album the band has remained as a 3-piece.
