Instinct: Decay is the third full-length album by Nachtmystium. It was rated the 4th best album of the year by Decibel Magazine.[2] The album was released on CD by Battle Kommand Records and on Vinyl by Profound Lore Records and Autopsy Kitchen Records.
According to Blake Judd, the album is a metaphor for his views on the society's decline. In an interview with DEAF SPARROW Zine, Judd stated the album's themes revolve around his idea humans have a natural inclination to harm themselves through "personal greed, lust, and power". Judd attributes these vices as the cause of society's ills, including war, indifference, and one's own self-destruction.[3]
The album's cover art was designed by Rebecca Clegg.
