DETONATION (HOL) "Lost euphoria" (2000) [Skull Crusher Rec.] 20.53" MCD
The Dutch UG scene is one of the most richest lately but also one of the most undervalued. Detonation is a young band and, in my opinion, promising band coming from Holland but don't expect nothing new from them. In fact, they play skilled melodic death metal a' la first In Flames with lots of interesting guitar riffs but in some parts they sound more aggressive as in "Helpness". According to me the very delight is "Euphoric Loss": the vocals are really evocative and the initial riff reminds me the gloomy and nostalgic feeling of Katatonia! It's a pleasant to listen to this MCD as all the 4 songs go on without a hitch.
