    Artist description
    DESCENT came together to create an innovative approach to music that incorporates raw, pummeling energy with dynamics and feeling. Each musician brings more than a decade of distinct background, technique and performance experience to the band. With influences ranging from metal to classical, punk to jazz, DESCENT also utilizes a wide range of technology to create a unique, dynamic and radio-compatible style of Rock that crosses the genres between metal, punk and industrial. After any one of DESCENT’s energetic performances, comments from the venue employees, audiences, and other bands typically include: "best band to play here in a long time," "breeds apart from other bands in St. Louis," and "can't wait to play with y'all again!" All members have a strong and influential hand writing each song: creating dynamic, catchy guitar riffs; laying smooth, moving bass lines; developing steady, evolving drum parts; and singing meaningful, understandable lyrics.

    Press Reviews
    Excerpts from DESCENT's reviews: "This band sounds tight and I don't think they can get any tighter." "the crowd was taken back and then suddenly they rip a song out as if it was their last one ever." "The energy this band puts out is phenomonal" "heart pounding beats and crunchy rythmic guitars, non-stop in your face metal" "in their set they go from song to song with fluid motion, never hesitating, creating a sound tighter than any I've previously heard." "I went home and put their cd in and found that the cd portrays the same energetic grasp that the live show did." "I like the way that they go off and do their thing. They don't sound like any other band I have heard so far and I think that's why I like it so much." "All of their songs are radio friendly and have a unique sound." "Each song has that natural beat that makes any hard core head-banger just start up. Godsmack, Metallica eat your hearts out these boys are coming and you wont know what hit you." "On a scale of 1 to 10 drumsticks, I give them 2 dozen."
