Reunited California metallers DÉTENTE — featuring original members Dennis Butler (drums), Caleb Quinn (guitar) and Steve Hochheiser (bass) alongside new vocalist Tiina Teal — have issued the following video to promote their upcoming release, 'Decline'.
There will be a national radio promotional campaign in the USA for the upcoming DÉTENTE release, 'Decline'.
