Heroes in Descent
Heroes in Descent is a supergroup from Chicago, Illinois that was founded by Marc Plotkin and Bryan Gibas. The original idea was to be a rock band, yet the general direction of the group is now to have a mix of sounds ranging from Post-Hardcore to Alternative, along with some Hip Hop/Rap sounds mixed in. The group currently consists of Marc Plotkin (drummer), Bryan Gibas (vocals/lyricist), Jared Gutkin (guitarist), Sam Belconis (vocals/lyricist), and Matt Duncan (mixer/producer). The group came together as an idea for a band in their senior year at Adlai E. Stevenson High School yet true production of the group did not get started until September, 2008. Musical influences include Silverstein, Senses Fail, Angels and Airwaves, Blink 182, Boxcar Racer, Just Surrender, Incubus, Pepper, Secret Lives of the Freemasons!, and Lil' Wayne.

An EP has yet to be recorded yet songs have been written and are waiting to for the right tune to accompany them. The songs, written mostly by Bryan Gibas, started as writing that helped him to vent his problems against his ex-girlfriend, yet changed about midway to a more positive, uplifting feel. Gibas states "the songs were originally about my ex, yet I realized they weren't my only struggles". Gibas struggled with depression, drug addiction, dependency, arrest, and an onslaught of other regular teen problems.

The group plans to practice and play through out the summer of 2009 with the hopes of recording something by August. Look for some of their material to be up online by the end of summer
