Massive Conspiracy Against All Life is the fourth full-length album by San Francisco-based one-man black metal band Leviathan.

This is the 1st Leviathan album recorded with an acoustic drum kit, unlike the electronic kit used for all preceding release.

"The record evokes both a missile attack and its aftermath. Eerie jangles swoop down on "Made as the Stale Wine of Wrath", paving the way for a ground assault of blast beats. "Vesture Dipped in the Blood of Morning" has what sounds like a martial orchestral sample, as if Sousa had written not for triumph but for tragedy. "Noisome Ash Crown" deceptively meanders in a fog, then unleashes a stomping death march. Wrest's voice rises above the fray like a warlord general; unlike his colleagues, who often sound like malnourished witches, he declaims with a commanding growl. Yet his attack is not all blitzkrieg. Wrest adeptly conjures up wind-like sounds, whether through guitars or electronic means, and much of the record feels like a sepulchral cave. The Book of Revelation has many metal soundtracks, but few have channeled its torment this vividly."
