About Us Detonator

Four-piece band from Sweden with a musical platform primarily based on thrash metal from the 80s and 90s, but with substantial influences from modern metal. It includes a variaty of very fast riffs, heavier guitars and melodic compositions.

Detonator is a Swedish thrash metal band formed several years ago as a hobby project, originally, with only two members, Anders Elfving & Viktor Sheffield. In the beginning of 2013, Jocke Lindström joined Detonator as lead guitarist. After being noticed by an A&R at AMX (non-profit label), the song Memories of a Broken Soul was selected as track no1 on a freely distributed CD at Wacken Open Air.

After this positive response, the band started recording new material for an EP in 2013, spending more effort in making a better production. This resulted in a demo EP, In Solitude - Reborn, containing a mixture of new and old demo songs.

Shortly thereafter, Henrik Ryftenius was added to the line-up as basist/back vocalist and Jocke Wallgren (now Amon Amarth) joined as session drummer. Detonator had its first live performance in Stockholm in March 2014 and soon the recording of a new EP, titled The Burning Inferno, begun.

The Burning Inferno was released 2015 and was mixed by Torbjörn Endrell at Dreamhill studios in Stockholm and mastered at Cutting Room. Thereafter, a number of songs were recorded during several studio sessions and finally it ended up with Far From Fallen, a five-track EP released on November 27th 2020. Now the work to promote this EP takes over, to reach a wider audience including A&Rs, reviewers and other enablers.

 

The music

The musical platform has always primarily been based on thrash metal from the 80s and 90s, but with substantial influences from modern metal. It includes a variety of very fast riffs, heavier  guitars and melodic compositions. Elaboration with different types of metal genres is something always considered when new material is created.
