The products of Puerto Rican descent hailing from the borough of Brooklyn, specifically Brownsville, D-Cent was formed in 2001 in the wake of an uneventful act upon their city and our Nation. Ironically, the name D-Cent was created by Mynor's grandmother. She never really got too excited by anything in life. When any of the members of the band would approach her and asked her opinion on anything she would refer to it as being
"decent". Thus, when the members would get together for rehearsals or jam sessions and make comments in respect to their playing they would state that it was "decent". Hence,
D-Cent was brought to life.
On the contrary, the moniker in no way translates nor signifies their abilities. Comprised of four, more than exceptional musicians, D-Cent is an interbreed of metal and hip-hop in its most iniquitous state. Unlike, Rage Against The Machine or Gorillaz, D-Cents musicianship resonates a sound unheard of before. The fusion of the two genres is utterly amazing. D'zier's ferocious drum playing displays uncanny hip-hop bass lines blended with an arc of Mynor's prolific string riffs, infused with Clavo's inducing and mesmerizing chords on the bass, combined with Hangman's authentic, gut-wrenching vocals expels an extraordinary exhibition in music that is theatrical. They tend to touch those hard-core enthusiasts of both metal and hip-hop alike.
D-Cent has graced the stages of some of NYC's grittiest rock scenes, which include Jarrod's Lounge, Continental, ACME Underground, Downtown(L.I.), RedZone, Rock Star Bar, Area 51, Asterisk, Blue Parrot(L.I.), Pussycat Lounge, Seho Rocks, Sputniks, Wild Spirits, and the world-renowned CBGB's among others.
They have a wide range of influences stemming from Phil Anselmo, Black Sabbath, Cypress Hills, Twisted Sister, The Doors, Type-O-Negative, STP, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Wu-Tang Clan just to name a few. Progressively, with persistence, hard-work, and consistency D-Cent will be mentioned alongside those that they have audaciously been influenced by as well as their contemporaries. Under the auspices of Off-Pitch Management there is no telling how incessant D-Cent will become.
