To promote the new release Detonation will embark on a European tour with Polish Decapitated and UK-based Gorerotted. After the tour the band will continue playing in The Netherlands.

To drummerszone.com Thomas Kalksma reveils:

\"We have faced several set-backs for a period due to my arm injury and the delay with mastering \"Portals...\", but now we\'re ready to rock. We are going to kick ass completely so Detonation fans should not miss this chance to check us out live!\"

The tour starts on September 8 at the Goudvishal in Arnhem, followed by De Baroeg in Rotterdam the next day. Detionation will also visit France, Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. You can find all exact tour data and locations here.

The new Detonation CD will be issued in the U.S. on October 10 via The End Records and in Europe on September 12 through Osmose Productions. The first 1,000 copies of the European release come in digipack, featuring additional artwork and an exclusive multimedia section.

The follow up to 2003\'s \"An Epic Defiance\" was recorded at Excess studios in Rotterdam, Holland and features cover artwork by Niklas Sundin of Cabin Fever Media (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity).

Other news involving Detiontion members: Thomas and guitarist/vocalist Koen started a new project in 2004 in which they put all their musical ideas that do not fit the brutal Detonation style. The project has transformed into a real band named Cardamon, also featuring former members of the M-90\'s.

Currently Cardamon is working on a new album. You can download the song ´We belong to the sleepless world´, written by Thomas, Koen and vocalist Floortje, on www.cardamon.nl.
