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 remains today. In 2000 the first mini CD "Lost Euphoria" was released. 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" has been recorded during December 2004 & January 2005 and will be released September 12th, 2005.
