"Darkness Descends"

Darkness Descends not only brought their "A-game" on the stage, but off
stage as well. Without a doubt one of the hardest working bands I have
seen throughout the entire Break Contest. Keeping the audience peeled to
the stage, by bringing a blend of upbeat and in-your-face hardcore songs,
with a stage presence that will rival any national touring band out there,
they managed to make their way to The Bamboozle Festival, for the second
year in a row. This year, they will be on the Saints and Sinners stage,
which will definitely be a perfect fit for them, and will allow them to
win over new fans, just like they did at The Stone Pony and School of Rock
during The Break Contest. Even though this was a contest, they were the
most outspoken band in the finals, and onstage spoke about this being a
"music community" and even went as far as to congratulate all the bands in
a very sincere way. I would keep your eyes and ears pealed to their
social networking sites, where they are very active, because there will be
big things to come from this band in the upcoming months and years. Their
hard work and dedication to the local music scene will NOT go unnoticed.
You better watch out because if you are not paying attention, their music
will kick you in the ass! - Brian Shantz - The Aquarian Weekly - The Aquarian Weekly
