Descent: Noise & Nails

Descent returns Sunday, March 22, 2026, leaning harder, dirtier, and less polished than usual. This one nods to punk attitude with industrial muscle and EBM pulse. Sharp edges, sweat on the floor, boots stomping in time with machines that do not care if you are ready.
Expect aggressive basslines, distorted synths, and tracks that push instead of soothe. The night builds fast and hits heavy, the kind of set flow that rewards movement, not standing still. If you like your goth with teeth and your industrial with grit, this is your night.
Descent remains a space for self expression over perfection. Torn shirts, leather jackets, DIY looks, club wear, or whatever makes you feel like yourself when the volume is up. No dress code, no posturing, just people who show up for the music and stay for the energy.
Come to dance hard, meet familiar faces, and lose a little control in a room that understands exactly why you need that.
