Detonation  


This Dutch group formed in 1997 and has taken a largely self-producing route, first recording a demo that was later picked up for a CD release by Skullcrusher Records (Lost Euphoria), and then self-releasing An Epic Defiance in 2002 before signing to Osmose Records, who re-released Defiance as well as putting out Portals To Uphobia in 2005. Uphobia is a prime melodic death metal album, influenced by the familiar Swedish scene (Dark Tranquillity, in this case, seems to be a primary influence) but with enough strong musicianship and songwriting to place them in the above-average category for the genre. In general they are a bit more uptempo than others in the field, a tad more aggressive here and there, while still staying close to the standards of melodeath.
