Detonation

Technical and melodic death/thrash

About Me

Detonation first formed in the autumn of 1997 as a side-project, by Koen (vocals/guitar), Thomas (drums) and Mike (guitar). A year later Otto joined on bass and this is the line-up as it remained until the beginning of 2008. In January 2000 the first mini CD "Lost Euphoria" came out.
In June 2003 the first full-length album "An Epic Defiance" was released worldwide by Osmose Productions from France, to which the band signed for 3 albums.
The 2nd full-length album "Portals To Uphobia" was recorded during December 2004 & January 2005 and was released September 12th 2005 on The End Records in the US and Osmose Productions in the rest of the world.
During the first months of 2007 the 3rd album "Emission Phase" was recorded and is out now through Osmose Productions! See elsewhere on this profile to order your copy now!
In March 2008 the band assigned Danny Tunker (Fuelblooded, The Saturnine) to handle guitar, while Koen decided to focus on handling the vocals only from this point on. Also, the band parted ways with drummer Thomas Kalksma. All shows will be done with a session drummer until a new full time member is found. Detonation is now in full writing mode for the upcoming 4th studio album!
