History & Biography
The atmospheric France-based group was established in 2006. The Inhibition album, which was the start of a trilogy about contemporary French neurobiologist Henri Laborit's work with mice to develop drugs, was released in 2012. Johannes shifted the emphasis to author Søren Kierkegaard. The album also introduced a full-time bassist. The act was booked for Royal Metal Fest 2019 and Roadburn Festival 2023.

France-based “philosophic post-black metallers” Decline Of The I had an album, entitled Wilhelm, through Agonia Records on 14.02.2025. The band had a music video for the song L’ Alliance Des Rats, featuring guest vocals from T.C. (Regarde Les Hommes Tomber) and Vestal (Merrimack). Bassist AD was out and replaced by journeyman Saroth (Temple Of Baal, The Order Of Apollyon, etc.). Recall how the first albums had dealt partly with a subject-matter involving experimenting with rats. The band’s main man A.K. was also in Merrimack. The group appeared at Forest Fest and Underground For The Masses in 2026.
