Poetic Descent

Poetic Descent is an Alternative Metal band from Dayton, Ohio featuring former members of Mayfly (Voluminous Records). Jared Lacey (vocals, guitar, bass) and Adam Thompson (drums) entered the Darkroom Recording Studio (Piqua, OH) to record six songs with Justin Moore shortly after Mayfly announced its end in March of 2017. Their music has been compared to bands like Dead Poetic, Project 86, Every Time I Die, Blindside, Beartooth and Norma Jean. All songs were composed by Jared Lacey. Lyrically, his songs touch on topics such as the existence of God, addiction, his mother's death, domestic abuse, martyrdom and homosexuality.
In Hebrew, the name Jared means "to descend". The biblical Jared was given that name because in his days the Nephilim (fallen angels/giants) descended to earth (Genesis 6:4). "I wrote and recorded most of the music myself, so in a way this band is sort of a solo project for me. I didn't want to use my own name because of Adam's involvement, so I came up with the name "Poetic Descent" which is derived from the name Jared. Adam thought it was cool, so we went with it." ~Jared Lacey
