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.
