Dew-Scented was a German thrash and death metal band,[1] active from 1992 to 2018. They released eight studio albums and were last signed to Metal Blade Records (Europe) and Prosthetic Records (USA/North America). Their name was inspired by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.

History

[edit | edit source]

Vocalist Leif Jensen entered the band in 1992, drummer Uwe Werning in 1997, and guitarist Hendrik Bache in autumn 2001.

In winter 1992/1993, the north German band released their first demo, "Symbolization", which was very well known in the underground scene and helped them sign record deal with SPV / Steamhammer.

In the spring of 1996, they released their debut album, Immortelle. They toured with Edge of Sanity, Lake Of Tears and Sadist. Due to the increased band activity, there were some changes in the line-up. In 1998, they joined the label Grind Syndicate Media / NBR and released their second album, Innoscent. In the same year, they played for the first time at Wacken Open Air.

In the summer of 1999, they released Ill-Natured, which was a mixture of death and thrash metal. Two years later, the album Inwards was released, which they worked on with Andy Classen. To promote the album, they played on various festivals and with many German thrash metal bands such as Kreator, Sodom and Destruction. They toured the United States of America for the first time.

The release of the 2003 album Impact and the double album Ill-Natured & Innoscent, released under the German label Nuclear Blast, established the band as an accomplished thrash metal act, and many people compared them to Slayer.

Issue VI, the sixth album, was released in June 2005. The limited edition included the video for 'Turn To Ash' and 17 live songs, recorded between 2002 and 2005. On 30 March 2007, the new album, Incinerate, was released in Europe and on 3 April in North America.

Dew-Scented released their ninth album, Intermination, on 30 June 2015 via Prosthetic Records.

On 17 May 2018, the band announced they had broken up due to conflicting schedules with band members' personal lives.[2]
