Detente was an American thrash metal band founded in 1984 in Los Angeles, California, United States.The group's original line-up included Dawn Crosby on vocals, Steve Hochheiser on bass, Dennis Butler on drums and Ross Robinson and Caleb Quinn on guitars.In 2012, the band was the subject of controversy over their 2010 song "Kill Rush", which referred to Rush Limbaugh with the conservative talk show host Sean Hannity discussing the band as part of a left-wing hate conspiracy with then US House Member Michele Bachmann. So good tunes haha.
Detente's first album, Recognize No Authority, was released on Roadrunner Records and also licensed to Metal Blade Records in 1986. Within days of the debut album's release, the supporting tour had to be canceled when drummer and co-founder Dennis was severely burned in an industrial accident, resulting in more than three months of hospitalization. Despite the lack of touring the debut sold strongly in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands.
The band split, but their singer Dawn Crosby continued with the Detente brand. Due to a legal dispute, the name Detente had to be dropped and was changed to Fear of God, who were eventually signed to Warner Bros. Records.
