Act Of Depression is an album written and performed by the Christian metalcore band, Underoath. It is the first record by the band, which was released on July 4, 1999 through Takehold Records. The album is currently out of print, as there were only 2000 copies ever printed. The style of the record differs from their current sound, leaning towards a more brutal metallic sound. The songs are notably long, much longer than Underoath's current songs.

Afterward is the actual song, "Spirit of a Living God", sung by Aaron Gillespie.
