The Final Chapter of Ratt’s Prime

The 1990 album Detonator marked the end of an era for the iconic glam metal band Ratt. It was the final record to feature the band’s classic lineup before tragedy struck and shifted their path forever.

This album captures the last moments of the legendary group before bassist Juan Croucier departed and guitarist Robbin Crosby faced the struggles that led to his death in 2002. At the time, the band was attempting to evolve their signature sound amidst a changing musical landscape. It stands as a haunting snapshot of a band on the verge of fracturing. Fans often look back at this release as the closing curtain on the band’s most influential decade.
