Burning in the underground of modern music lies Decadent Nation. Since 2005, the group has charted a course of their own, touring nationwide and sharing the stage with the likes of Les Claypool, Three Days Grace, and Chevelle. After two EPs and the release of their critically acclaimed 2010 full-length album So There Will Be No Doubt, DN embarked on a tour of military bases across the U.S. The group has even performed a handful of socio-politically themed guerilla concerts along the way. Entering into 2012, the band has begun work on their follow-up album titled Fortaleza. DN promises the effort to be “a collection of songs that would make seventies Rock Gods proud.”
DN has a wide range of influences. Their sound infuses the sounds of rock, metal, reggae and folk music. Their live show is epic to say the least. The band pushes the envelope show after show, bringing out the beast in all who are present, with epic guitar solos and visceral stage performance, DN leaves the crowd begging for more on a nightly basis.

We all come from somewhere. This particular somewhere just happens to be just off the beaten path between Kansas City and St. Louis. I’m talking about Jefferson City, Missouri. A city that has seen many local bands come and go. Some paths change and projects fade away into time, but the urge to play, that love for music for the individual never dies.
As a musician, what do you do next? Maybe you try solo work, play for friends or family events and maybe gain enough recognition to get paying gigs from smaller venues and local eateries. Or maybe you stumble around the scene for a while and are lucky enough to connect with 4 other like minded individuals. Individuals who also have the background and the urge, that feeling deep down in the core of their souls, just scratching and clawing, trying to break free. Maybe those new connections take you somewhere else, someone’s garage, basement or spare room, and you start to collaborate. Maybe you mix ideas and influences and find out that you have even more in common than originally thought. Maybe the chemistry between these 5 individuals, grows so much that it’s sure to ignite, erupt and likely destroy the structure around them. So then, maybe they decide to take it outside.
We are Chemical Mass. Our combination of clean and hard (in-your-face) riffs in our guitar work are astounding. The riffs are accented by engaging, deep, and meaning filled lyrics vocally carried over with driven conviction. The rhythm section comes complete with creative and alluring bass lines, as well as, innovative drum patterns showcased with skilled precision. Chemical Mass is a band like no other making noise in the music scene.
Writing tunes since winter of 2013, Chemical Mass offers an impressive catalogue of original music.
