Detonator

Detonator is the alter-ego of Bruno Sutter, a pivotal figure in Brazilian entertainment who rose to fame as part of the comedy troupe Hermes e Renato. Originally conceived as the frontman for the parody band Massacration, Sutter evolved the character into a solo entity that explores the intersection of heavy metal and Brazilian regional culture.

His sound is characterized by 'Trancz Metal' - a humorous mispronunciation of thrash - and features high-level technical execution. Sutter is a classically trained vocalist whose ability to maintain extreme high notes has earned him respect even among those who find the comedy polarizing. The project has served as a platform for prominent female musicians in the Brazilian scene, including members of Nervosa. Culturally, Detonator occupies a unique space as a 'meta' artist; he is a satire of the very community that forms his primary fanbase. Critical consensus often highlights the project's ability to maintain musical integrity despite its lyrical absurdity, particularly on albums like 'Metal Folclore', which cleverly integrates Brazilian myths into a power metal framework.
