Descent – A Dark Celebration

Pull out your best black boots, polish those spikes, and prepare to dance the night away in a haze of fog, pulsing beats, and pure gothic delight—Descent is back to banish the January blues on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at The Red Room.

As Vancouver’s premier gothic and alternative night, Descent has earned its legendary status as the monthly gathering spot for lovers of dark fashion, dark music, and dark humor. This isn’t just a night out—it’s a homecoming, where the dance floor welcomes all shades of black and the camaraderie flows like cheap (but excellent) gin. It’s where longtime enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike can revel in an inclusive, safe, and delightfully dramatic space.

The Music
You know the drill: our resident DJs will ensure the beats are as relentless as the eyeliner stains on your pillow. From the classics that defined the genre to the freshest dark tracks from the underground, these masters of the decks keep you moving from open to close. Think Sisters of Mercy meets Combichrist with a little sprinkle of Placebo when you need to sing along.

The Vibe
Imagine stepping through the doors and immediately feeling seen—like you’ve stumbled upon a beautifully curated goth family reunion. Whether you’re dressed in lace, leather, PVC, or the comfiest pair of black jeans you own, you belong here. Twinkling lights and moody shadows set the tone, while the dance floor becomes a sanctuary of catharsis, sweat, and stomping boots.

Need a breather? Slip over to the bar for a chat, sip, and people-watching. No judgment, no nonsense, just pure, dark fun.

Why You Can’t Miss It
If New Year’s resolutions include “go out more” or “embrace my inner vampire,” Descent is your January salvation. Plus, where else will you find a room full of folks who understand that black is not just a color, it’s a lifestyle?
