Dutch metallers Detonation's second album Portals To Uphobia see the band refine their blend of thrash and melodeath and bring it to maturity here. A solid effort from a band who find a way to carry the songs over the shortcomings that are contained on this album, Portals To Uphobia is a mixed affair.

The main strength Detonation have is their ability to flow seamlessly between thrashy verses to melodeath passages and choruses with ease, creating a hybrid that is both powerful and captivating. Some songs, such as "The Loss Of Motion Control", focus more on one style (itself a melodeath track) than the other, but it serves to give the album variety by shifting from one side to the other whilst at other times drifting between the two.
