JD Whitman handles all guitar duties for Decadence. JD is a seasoned musician with over 15 years of experience in both guitar and vocals. He hails from Dallas TX. with ties also in Six Mile SC, as well as Atlanta GA. JD cut his teeth in the music industry in the high profile music scene that is Dallas, TX. JD has been in several local SC bands such as, Examining Emma and War From Brotherhood. Also had some roles in bands out in Texas. JD has an uncanny ability to write in a number of styles, and serve as the rhythm and lead parts. His list of influences is too long to name, but Jack Daniels always fits in some place. LOL! From Chunky Rhythm parts to screaming leads he can manage it all. At this time JD is using Schecter guitars and Marshall amps. In the near future he will be adding PRS and Line 6 to that repotoire. He uses Ernie Ball Strings. As of right now JD is living here in Newberry SC.

Josh Rowe is the frontman for Decadence. Born and raised here in Newberry, Josh is right in his comfort zone to write the lyrics that portray Decadence. Music has been the main thing in his life for the past 3 years. Due to many past heartaches and tragedies, writing lyrics has become more than just a past time or trade. It is his life on being portrayed. Easily you can see the raw techniques of his main influences Shaun Morgan and Corey Taylor in his vocals, with the ability to change to the more clear and clean vocals of his own unique style. In Josh's own words "Crown Royal and other substances are a big influence as well." With guitar experience as well it makes for a great writing combination for JD and Josh. Josh uses Shure and AKG mics. with Kustom and Peavey monitors and PA.

Danny Coursey is the bass player for Decadence. He hails from Greenwood SC. Danny has about 6 years of solid experience on bass having played with such bands as: Mojo Rising, Slitsixwayz, Threshold, and No Exit. His influences are Sevendust, Killswitch Engage, and George Clinton as well as many others. He uses a Schecter bass, DR Strings, and Hartke cabs. He supplied the final and missing piece that has created Decadence.

Chris Goodman is the drummer for Decadence. He is originally from the small town of Jackson, SC. Now he also resides here in Newberry. With many years of experience, Chris has become a very seasoned drummer and upon his entry in the band, he has gave Decadence the opportunity to do things that they never could before. Chris uses a variety of equipment, and is in the process of updating his kit!

Clark Berry is the newest member of DECADENCE. He hails from Augusta, GA. Clark is the second guitarist, yet the rhythm label has not not been put on him. With his ability and musical knowledge, he and JD can successfully coexist onstage while sharing all guitar responsibilities. They trade off duties and on some tracks even double up the leads and rhythms. Clark currently uses Jackson guitars, and is powered by Peavey and Kustom amps and Heads. Also uses Boss effects.
