On Sunday, February 22, 2026, Descent presents War of the Roses, a gothic Valentine devoted to passion, elegance, and unapologetic intimacy. This is romance in velvet and shadow, lavish, sincere, and deeply entwined. Think lingering kisses, hands claimed without hesitation, devotion spoken plainly and often.
Red roses bloom with obsession. Black roses honor love that endures beyond restraint, beyond reason.
The dance floor becomes a candlelit chamber of desire, carried by goth, darkwave, industrial, EBM, and metal that swells with drama and longing. This is a night for lovers who adore each other publicly, for romantics who believe excess is a virtue, and for anyone drawn to love that feels ceremonial rather than casual.
No dress code. Lace, leather, corsetry, tailored silhouettes, flowing black, blood-red silk. Come dressed as though romance itself demanded tribute.
Join us at The Red Room for a night where affection is deliberate, consent is sacred, and darkness feels indulgent.
