Detonation - New (Ancient) Track On-line

But in fact it's the oldest recording we could find . Through the Eyes of God" was recorded in the summer of 1998, when we were stilled called "Infernal Dream" and obviously much more influenced by black metal bands. The quality is pretty poor but we think it's very cool nevertheless, demonstrating how fucking "true" we were back then Check it out, it's the fifth song in our player on our MySpace profile!

Detonation - Contest: 10 Years Of Detonation

10 years of DETONATION

It was in the summer of 1997 Koen, Mike and Thomas rehearsed together for the first time. In the year that followed they only rehearsed about once a month, nevertheless writing a large number of songs, in a much more black metal-ish style than nowadays. One year later, Otto joined on bass. The first show was done at the end of 1998, so were the first recordings, and the band name was changed into Detonation. The rest is history.

Now it's 2007, and we can look back on 10 years of great fun, horrible hangovers, over 200 shows, several tours, 2 Mini-CD's, 3 full-length albums, broken equipment, sleepless nights, alcoholic frenzies, empty venues, packed venues, failing cars, near-death experiences and so on. Still going strong with the original band members, and more motivated than ever to tour and play as much as we can and create music the best we can.

To celebrate, we're doing a special show on the 26th of October in dB'S, in our home town Utrecht. We'll be playing the longest set we've ever done, performing songs we haven't played live in ages, having some special guests on stage, and doing a number of covers. It's going to be lots and lots of fun, and it's an evening you do not want to miss, so be there!

We'd also like to take the opportunity to thank YOU for supporting us. Obviously it's impossible for a band to survive without people buying our CD's and merch, coming to our shows, and spreading the word about us. Plus having a few beers with you after the show is always great as well! So a big THANK YOU to all of you, we much appreciate all your support. To show our appreciation we've issued three contests:

Myspace contest

Detonation - New Album In April

This is the last statement of the Dutch band about their upcoming new album to be released in April 2007 through the French label Osmose.

"Hello people!

Finally some breaking news about the upcoming 3rd full-length Detonation album! We're very proud to announce that our new album will be titled "Emission Phase". It's a conceptual story, and I'm not yet going to spoil everything, but check out the artwork and titles and you might get an idea!

So far Thomas has finished the drumtracks in Excess studios, and next week Mike and I will start recording the guitars together with producers Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Bouke Visser at Split Second Sound studios in Tilburg.

Musically, it's intense melodic Death/Thrash metal as always, but we've managed to capture a powerful groove and impressive level of quality in the new songs. In other words, it's our best work to date. And we're not just saying this because it's our new album

Here's the complete track list:

1. Invoking the Impact
2. When Stone turns to Ash
3. Craven Ablaze
4. Into the Emission Phase
5. Chokedamp
6. Defects of the Isolated Mind
7. Modulate
8. Infected
9. Soul Severance
10. Reborn inside the Radiance
11. Fallout (instr)
