Detente - Recognize No Authority

Detente was a thrash metal band from Los Angeles from the mid 80's to the present(?), and their thrash was pretty standard, almost punk even.  The (female) vocals are what make this record great instead of just alright.  Dawn Crosby lead the thrash attack with a ferocity that few could match.  She left the band to form Fear Of God, and Detente replaced her with another singer, then that singer was replaced by another.  I'm not sure if they are still active or not and honestly, I haven't listened to any of their later records, so I couldn't tell you if they're as good as this one or not.  Sadly, Dawn died in '96 of liver failure.
