DÉTENTE: New Guitarist Announced

February 24, 2008

Michael Carlino (FEAR OF GOD) has replaced Juan Garcia (AGENT STEEL) in the lineup of the reunited DÉTENTE. According to the band, "due to scheduling conflicts, Juan was unable to play. The bands continue to be mutual friends and supporters with possible AGENT STEEL/DÉTENTE shows in the future."

DÉTENTE 2008 lineup:

Ann Boleyn (HELLION) - Vocals
Michael Carlino (FEAR OF GOD) - Guitar
Dennis Butler - Drums
Caleb Quinn - Guitar
Steve Hochheiser - Bass

Classic footage of the original "Recognize No Authority"-era lineup of DÉTENTE — Dawn Crosby, Steve Hochheiser, Dennis Butler, Ross Robinson and Caleb Quinn — performing the song "Life is Pain" in 1986 can be viewed below. According to the group, "The video was shot by the noted documentary cinematographer Baird Bryant (ROLLING STONES' 'Gimme Shelter'). DÉTENTE has a long history of talented individuals helping their cause!"

DÉTENTE is scheduled to perform at this year's installment of the Headbangers Open Air festival, set to take place July 24-26, 2008 in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, Germany. The band will also play select dates in the U.S., to be announced soon.

DÉTENTE's classic album "Recognize No Authority" was reissued in July 2007 via MVD Audio.

"Recognize No Authority" was a critically acclaimed recording that maintains a cult following to this day. It was also the launching ground for nu-metal metal producer Ross Robinson (KORN, SLIPKNOT, FEAR FACTORY, SOULFLY) who plays guitar on the album. The CD also marked the first full-length release by FEAR OF GOD's Dawn Crosby, who sadly passed away on December 15, 1996.
