DETESTATION was formed in 1994 by Tommy T. Rapisardi.
After 2 previous bands (NO ESCAPE, CENOTAPH) each had
great potential and intial releases out but could not
keep the bands together. DETESTATION was formed to
create a unique hybrid of BRUTAL DEATH METAL/
INDUSTRIAL METAL/ HARDCORE right at that time when
DEATH METAL was becoming bigger and more known.
A lot of the first album "MASSACRE OF HATE" was created
by TOMMY T. and then recruited some great metal friends from
the ABQ, NM scene..Todd W., Steve W. and Dave "from the Grave"
rounded out the band and they released the full album "MASSACRE OF HATE" in 1995 to great reviews, thousands of sales and some
high profile Live shows in Southwest, USA.The sound
became more DEATH METAL/ HARDCORE as time went on and
unfortunately the band split up because of time,job issues
and everyone had a lot of things going on...Dave M.
tragically passed away in 1996.
Tommy T. then started up the band DIVERJE in 1996 and this
band really stuck for him with 12 ALBUMS, 18 EP'S all released
on CD over the next 25 years this INDUSTRIAL/ DARK EBM/ AGGROTECH/METAL
band solidified themselves in the scene with thousands
of sales, fans and still going strong in 2022!
DETESTATION has started up strong again in 2022!
DIVERJE team members James Wickham and Alexander Borsov
combine with Tommy T. on Vocals/lyrics to recreate this
band with a familiar sound but way more refined,and HEAVIER!
The guitars are chunky and brutal as all hell, avoiding tiresome
leads and flair. Heavy, grinding sick riffs to wake the dead!
Sporadic Bass intros and leads in there keeping that bottom
end thick! The Drumming is brutal as DEATH METAL gets with blast
beats all over but with a lot of variation in rhythms and grooves
to keep each song really fun and interesting..Ready to fuck shit up!
DEATH METAL with the old school flavor with some flashes of
new and extreme vox at times. Mixing the Hardcore NYC vocal
style in on some songs is something Tommy T was known in the
METAL SCENE for doing as well as BRUTAL DEATH METAL/ GRINDCORE Growls and Screams. This new album contains 8 memorable new CRUSHING BRUTAL DEATH METAL Trax with the DETESTATION flavor, GORY, SICK "RENEWED KILLINGS" takes you into the world of a psychopathic killer coming back to life and ready to take revenge and kill the many who he has been wronged by, as well
as the sick fuckers that just need to be ended anyways.
8 KILLING TRAX and 2 INDUSTRIAL/ METAL REMIXES/ Creations
by Alexander Borsov handling all the electronics/ sounds...
Topping off this monumental return (after 26 years!) is the
INSANELY GORY & BRUTAL ARTWORK by Tony Koehl! CD and T-SHIRT art all done by the man! The band plans to release another
follow up REMIXES/ RARITIES CD later this year and if all
goes well and the fans love it will keep going with more
and more! Enjoy the new DETESTATION music to be released
