Drawn into Descent

**Drawn into Descent** is a Belgian atmospheric black metal band formed in Ghent around 2010. Known for blending raw black metal intensity with moody post-metal textures and doom-inspired heaviness, their sound creates a haunting, introspective vibe perfect for fans of immersive, emotionally charged music. The band’s lyrics often explore themes of existential reflection, nature’s grandeur, and human fragility, delivered through a mix of harsh vocals and melancholic instrumental passages.

Their discography includes releases like *The Endless Endeavour* (2017), a sprawling album praised for its atmospheric depth, and their self-titled debut *Drawn Into Descent* (2013), which established their signature fusion of bleak beauty and sonic aggression. While keeping a relatively low profile, they’ve carved a niche in the European underground metal scene, occasionally sharing stages with acts like Amenra. The duo, featuring members like Dries Gaerdelen (vocals/guitar) and Koen Biesemans (drums), focuses on crafting dense, cathartic soundscapes rather than chasing mainstream trends.
