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. These songs will be released as singles throughout the course of 2018.

Check out the just released vizualizer video for their new single, ‘Close Encounter’.

Lyrics: Close Encounter

There’s so much more
There’s so much more than meets the eye
A universe
A vast expanse of uncharted mystery

I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
The truth is out there

Where did it all begin?
Where does it end?
So many questions I have
So many things I just don’t know
I need to find the answers
I need to go

I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need

Are we really alone?
Are we really alone?
Or is there life, is there life extraterrestrial?
Are we really alone?
Are we really alone?
Is there a God?
Does he speak?
Are we listening?
Is anybody listening?

I won’t stop searching
There’s so much to explore
I’m not afraid to believe

I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
To believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
The truth is out there

The truth is out there

The truth
