Baptized in Filth represents the fourth full-length release by the American Christian deathcore group Impending Doom, which was made available on March 13, 2012, through eOne Music. The album's initial single, "For the Wicked," was accompanied by a music video, with subsequent videos produced for the tracks "Murderer" and "Deceiver," the latter premiering on June 26, 2012.
During 2012, the band joined the Metal Alliance Tour, sharing the stage with acts such as DevilDriver, The Faceless, Dying Fetus, Job for a Cowboy, and 3 Inches of Blood.
The production was handled by Andreas Magnussen, noted for his work with The Black Dahlia Murder and The Famine, while mixing duties were performed by Machine, who has previously collaborated with Suicide Silence, Demon Hunter, and Lamb of God. This record is also notable as the last to feature guitarist Cory Johnson prior to his exit in June 2012.
Background
According to bassist David Sittig, the album's thematic focus addresses "the mindless indulgence and self-worship in the vile world we live in," with an intention to provoke a strong reaction from its audience.
