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 Finch, Story of the Year, Further Seems Forever, Chevelle, Incubus, Dead Poetic, Project 86, Every Time I Die, Blindside, Beartooth and Norma Jean.  All songs were composed by Jared Lacey, who after discovering that the biblical Hebrew meaning of his first name was "to descend", created the name Poetic Descent.  Lyrically, his songs touch on topics such as the existence of God, addiction, his mother's death, domestic abuse, martyrdom and homosexuality.  These songs were released as singles online on all major streaming and download sites starting in March of 2018 with the final song being released in June of 2018.  Since then, their debut single, Close Encounter, has had much success on the radio staying in the top ten on the Christian Rock National Airplay Billboard chart six weeks in a row from May through June.  Looking forward, they plan to make a few live appearances before the end of the year and record more music to be released early next year.
