Detonation

DETONATION-DUTCH DEATH METAL
Detonation first formed in the autumn of 1997 as a black metal side-project (under the name Infernal Dream), by Koen (vocals/guitar), Thomas (drums) and Mike (guitar). A year later Otto joined on bass and this was the line-up as it remained until 2008. In January 2000 the first mini CD "Lost Euphoria" came out.In June 2003 the first full-length album "An Epic Defiance" was recorded in Hans Pieters' Excess studios, and later on 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 in Excess studios 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 in Split Second Sound studios with producer Jochem Jacobs, and is out now through Osmose Productions!

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. After doing several shows as a session drummer, Michiel van der Plicht (Toxocara, Prostitute Disfigurement) has now become a full time member of the band. Detonation has spent the bigger part of 2009 in full writing mode for the upcoming 4th studio album REPRISAL. Meanwile, the album has been recorded, mixed and mastered by Harry van Breda @ Oerknal studios in Utrecht.The result is the most powerful and dynamic Detonation album to date.
