Detroit Diesel (band)
# Detroit Diesel (band)

Detroit Diesel is a French Canadian harsh EBM duo, founded in 2006, signed on Deathwatch Asia and Infacted-Recordings. It is not to be confused with the American diesel engine manufacturer of the same name.

## History

Detroit Diesel released their first demo, Dancing with Terror, in 2008, with the song "When Darkness Falls" appearing on the Endzeit Bunkertracks IV compilation. Shortly after, Detroit Diesel underwent an internal restructuring.

In 2009, Detroit Diesel recorded the Terre Humaine demo, featuring ten songs, including the self-titled song "Terre Humaine" that would later appear on the 2010 Kinetik Festival compilation.

Detroit Diesel signed to Deathwatch Asia who decided to release the album Terre Humaine, consolidated from the previous demo, in 2010. The Lost Signals EP was released by Deathwatch Asia and Infacted Recordings in digital format.

The full-length debut album Terre Humaine was released on November 12, 2010, and was manufactured by Infacted Recordings for the European market, with Deathwatch Asia serving the rest of the world. Terre Humaine was reviewed favourably by the Side-Line webzine as "dark electro style" with "technoid tunes". The German Sonic Seducer review was also favourable, calling it a "notable debut".

A second full-length album Coup d'Etat was published on May 29, 2012. Manufactured by Infacted Recordings (EU), Vendetta Music (US) and with Deathwatch Asia serving the rest of the world. This was followed by their first European tour.
