We are pleased to announce that Michael Carlino (DÉTENTE, FEAR OF GOD) has joined forces with Ann Boleyn (Hellion) and original DÉTENTE members Dennis Butler, Caleb Quinn, and Steve Hochheiser.
Due to scheduling conflicts Juan Garcia (Agent Steel) was unable to play. The bands continue to be mutual friends and supporters with possible Agent Steel/Détente shows in the future.

Last December saw the release of the official remaster of Détente's "Recognize no Authority"! Work was done by none less than original member Steve Hochheiser.
Says Steve, "When you remaster you are really doing equalization, you are not dealing with the mix. Roadrunner could not locate the originals so a remix was out of the question. Luckily the original production was very good. Basically in the 80's everything thrash was mastered with thought to cost rather then quality. The oiginal Price Killer CD is very muddy with a lot of low end. Working with Brad Vance at RedMastering (Flotsam and Armored Saint reissues, Cannibal Corpse) we focused on bringing out the mid range to add definition and make the sound crisper. We also brought a more consistent decibel level across all of the songs - for whatever reason the original side two dropped a DB in the recording (maybe we were tired!). So across the board you will find it to be very competitive to today's recordings with the exception of reverb! The 80's were big on reverb but this would have to be solved in the mix; I would have loved to have cleaned up the drums, double kicking does not require reverb."
Check out Steve's Myspace page for more info.
Also very interesting: Ares Kingdom have recorded a cover of "Vultures in the Sky" which will be released on a spring 2007 single entitled "Failsafe" out on NWN! Productions. Check out their site at www.ares-kingdom.com.

It should be worth noting that Mike Carlino has been spotted recording lead and rhythm guitar on Naked Soul's "Leap of Faith" (Jacoda records, 2002) on the songs "Run for Cover", "The Little Picture" and "Rumour Has It". he also co-wrote "The Little Picture". The album's been described as "Classic Rock, Melodic Pop meets Classic Soul with a slight detour towards the Blues, with a dash of smooth jazz, new age and fusion..."

After waiting for about three years, as well as repeated contact attempts that went unanswered, I have gone ahead and made a cool rare/live Fear of God compilation myself. Entitled "Treasure Trove" it contains the coolest rare and live stuff I have in my Fear of God collection. Check out the buy section for more information!
If I ever get my hands on the supposed high quality live Country Club recordings of Détente or Fear of God, or the vocal-less recordings laid down for what was supposed to become "Beyond the Veil" (and if none of the original people involved contact me to complain about what I've done so far) it is very well possible that a "Treasure Trove Volume II" will be released in the future.
