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) The cover was done by by Eliran Kantor: www.elirankantor.com You can see it at this location: detonation.wingsofdeath.nu/images/graphics/intro.jpgExpect a killer release in April!'"

After playing together in the same line-up for over 10 years, Dutch melodic thrashers Detonation are now making their first ever line-up change.
The band has welcomed Danny Tunker (also Fuelblooded, The Saturnine) to the ranks to handle the guitar. This automatically means that co-founder Koen Romeijn (Guitar/Vocals) will lay down his guitar within Detonation, and that he will be focusing on the vocals only from this point on.
Commented vocalist Koen Romeijn:
We all felt the need for a change within Detonation, and I had been thinking about focusing on the vocals for quite some time now, so I decided to bring in my idea to the group. Mike, Otto and Thomas were all quite shocked that this decision came from me, but they were all positively surprised. Danny, besides being one of our closest friends, is easily one of the best guitar players in the Netherlands, and we all believe that he is the only person suitable for the job. So from now on, he will be handling my guitar parts, and I will start focusing my energy on the vocals, which without doubt will be a positive change for our live shows and performance and most important; our future albums! As for the creative aspect, I will still function as one of the songwriters for Detonation, as I have been doing since the beginning of this band, so no worries for the die-hard Detonation fans haha! I personally can't wait for Danny to join us on stage and in the writing process of our upcoming 4th album!
Commented Danny Tunker:
Detonation have been among my favourite bands for years, even before I first met them while touring the UK with Fuelblooded. We immediately hit it off on a personal level. Fast forward 2 years and I was very surprised and honoured to be asked to join them. I know this must've been a tough decision, but thanks for giving me this chance guys! Let's do this!

Dutch death/thrash metal act Detonation have announced parting ways with drummer Thomas Kalksma. Kalksma was one of the original founders of the band and had been part of Detonation for over ten years. Commented by the band: "It was a very hard decision to make, but in the end both Thomas and the band agreed it would be better to part ways. We've had differences of opinion on the future of Detonation and these differences eventually where too strong to overcome. There are no hard feelings mutually and Detonation wish Thomas all the best for his future musical career."
Thomas' statement:
"I regret and feel very glad simultaneously to be leaving Detonation. After a lot of big ups an downs in this band, I feel that the abovementioned differences in opinion took away my passion for this band. Despite the fact that I've been jamming with Koen even before Detonation started, and the fact that i've put alot of effort in this band, I felt a huge need for change during the past months. Therefore i'll move forward and will focus on my other musical activities. I'm also open to interesting offers.
I want to thank all bookers, promoters, media and festivalorganisers and most importantly all FANS I have contact with. You are great and you haven't seen the last of me."
Detonation will continue writing for the forthcoming 4th studio album, however the band is now in search for a new drummer. If you have the skills, determination and personality we are looking for, please contact us through myspace or via info@detonation.nl !
