About Me

DESCENT TO COCYTUS started early 2006 with just two member's, SAM WELLS (drums) and NATHAN PEARCE (guitar). Both having a mutual interest in heavy music and both playing in bands that wernt perticulary going anywere decided on forming a band to make some heavy music.
Musical wise we dont aim for any peticular genre of metal part from it being heavy and interesting to play for us. All members add there own individual element to the sound to create the sound. View our influence's section or the individual member's profile's to see more information.
The current lineup is;
NATHAN PEARCE (guitar)
SAM WELLS (drums)
DOMINIC HALLAM (bass)
MATT RHODES (vocals)
Descent to Cocytus are currently working on new material and also heading into a studio to record a full lengh EP very shortly. Were always looking for gigs and can probly make any venue in the country if its worth the drive so anyone offers just let us know and we will get back to you asap. Want to know anything else or ask us for gig's or anything just send us a message or comment we will get back to you soon as we can.
