Detonation is a metalband from the German speaking part of Switzerland. That's why you can see the English lyrics translated into German. Cry It Out contains four songs of which one (Unity) is cut into four parts. The music on the EP can be described as old school heavy metal with thrash and powermetal influences. The vocals are screaming though they are clean and plain to understand. A song like Louder Than Hell makes me think of the fast stuff of Anaemia. The intro of Unity Part III could have been the intro to an Iron Maiden song. Musically Detonation is somewhere in between those bands with quite some extra energy (but not as brutal as Anaemia). The songs are okay but the quality of the recording could have been better to make the songs more enjoyable as this is not at all a Bill Metoyer production. But I'll keep an eye on this band as there's a potential for more.

HM Magazine #84Reviewed by Tim McCreadyIf you are looking for Swedish heavy metal with "JESUS! Is Looord!" type of lyrics, you've come to the right place. The production is pretty good, the music is tight, the lyrics are really positive, but personally, it's just not my thing.Similar sounding releases
