"'Descent'" is a single by American heavy metal band Fear Factory from their album 'Obsolete'. It was the third single released and the fifth track on the album. The music was composed by guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera, with lyrics by Burton C. Bell. In the storyline of 'Obsolete's' concept, "Descent" expresses the despair felt by the album's protagonist, the dissident Edgecrusher, as he rests briefly on his flight from the pursuing forces of Securitron. He questions the worth of his personal mission; in the end, he decides to continue his fight against his oppressors.
"Descent" peaked at number 38 on the 'Billboard' Mainstream Rock chart.
