The Australian duo's debut full-length is a harrowing descent into despair, notable for its raw production and bleak atmosphere.
- Recorded in a cramped home studio in mid-2006, the album was completed in just under a week.
- The initial pressing of 1000 CDs sold out within six months of release, a surprise success for the Lupus Lounge label.
- The track "The Serpentine Curse" has been cited by critics as an early example of the Australian black metal scene's burgeoning depressive sound.
Austere was a depressive black metal duo from Australia. "Withering Illusions and Desolation" was their debut full-length album.
