...And Time Begins is the debut studio album by American death metal band Decrepit Birth. The album was released on October 7, 2003, through Unique Leader Records.
Critical reception
Phil Freeman of AllMusic gave the album three and a half stars out of five and said: "While the riffs are extremely complex and go by with lightning speed, these very qualities also render them somewhat unmemorable. Cannibal Corpse are a great example of a band able to play high-speed, complicated death metal and also make it catchy -- their songs stick in your head. Decrepit Birth, while being impressively brutal and crushing, can't say the same."[5]
