Anti-establishment and Aggressive DÉTENTE was formed in 1984 and are now considered trailblazers. Defying any specific metal sub-genre and attracting Punks and Metal Heads alike, followers of the band still argue whether DÉTENTE belonged to Cross-over, Thrash, or simply Metal. With the line-up of Dawn Crosby, Dennis Butler, Steve Hochheiser, Ross Robinson, and Caleb Quinn the band signed to Roadrunner Records in 1985 and released the now Classic Recognize No Authority to critical praise and strong sales in Europe, especially in Germany. The album was later licensed to Metal Blade for release in the USA.
With the vocals of Dawn Crosby and later the equally impressive Tiina Teal DÉTENTE brought two of the great female Metal Vocalists to the masses. Rather than exploitation, the band relied on solid musicianship, songwriting, and aggression to craft their unique sound.
DÉTENTE were singled out by conservative talk show hosts and Senators in America as Anti American for the release of 2010’s Decline which featured the line-up of Hochheiser, Butler, Quinn, and Teal. Though heavier and more polished than Recognize No Authority, Decline remained true to the roots of the band and allowed DÉTENTE to embark on a European tour in 2010 and members also collaborated on the Project Falke EP in 2019.
