Descent: Bite the Night

Prepare yourself for a night where shadows flirt with crimson lace and the taste of the forbidden is as irresistible as midnight’s embrace. Descent: Bite the Night invites you to step into a world where boudoir elegance meets vampire mystique, merging into an evening that’s both a tantalizing feast for the senses and a sanctuary for the soul.

Nestled within the heart of The Red Room, Descent transforms its industrial elegance into an intimate gothic haven. Expect low-lit velvet drapes, a hint of opulent decay, and candlelit nooks, inviting you to get cozy (or conspiratorial) with friends, lovers, and possibly, your next midnight accomplice. Our resident DJs, DJ Surreal, DJ Joshy Neurotic, and DJ MissBDeath, will spin a hauntingly seductive mix that drifts from darkwave and synthpop to ethereal, pulsing beats that seem to echo with each heartbeat. With every track, they create a soundtrack that promises to sweep you away in the most deliciously decadent way.

But “Bite the Night” isn’t just a theme; it’s a summons. Dress in your best vampiric finery—think flowing silks, dark lace, and maybe a flash of blood-red for those who like to make an entrance. Whether you’re a sultry vampire countess, a shadow-draped poet, or simply someone who feels alive when the lights are low, Descent welcomes you into its warm, dark embrace.

For over a decade, Descent has stood as more than just a club night; it’s a sanctuary, a community, and a playground for those drawn to the dark. If you’re a Descent regular or a newcomer looking to experience Vancouver’s goth scene at its most seductive, “Bite the Night” promises an unforgettable evening where intrigue, intimacy, and unapologetic glamour reign.

So mark your calendars, sharpen your fangs, and come ready to lose yourself in a night that whispers of secrets, shadows, and a little taste of the wild unknown. After all, there’s only one way to truly know the night: you’ve got to bite.
