Dew-Scented: 'Invocation'

German thrash metallers Dew-Scented have finished recording and mixing their new album 'Invocation' at Soundlodge Studio in Northern Germany with producer Jörg Uken (God Dethroned, Sinister, etc.).

Vocalist Leif Jensen checks in with the following comment: "It is done! After long weeks of intense work, we are finished tracking and mixing this new album…What a great feeling! The new song-material is totally fresh and energetic to us and I hope all you thrash maniacs will dig it as much as we do! Despite the band's line up changes, we are pretty much staying true to our traditional stylistic formula and tried to combine the best of our 80's thrash metal roots with the punch of a modern production and an utterly aggressive performance! Look out!!!"

'Invocation' will contain 12 songs in its regular edition. Here is the exact track-listing:

01. Downfall (Instrumental)
02. Arise from Decay
03. The Invocation
04. Have no Mercy on Us
05. Artificial Life
06. Condemnation
07. Totem (Instrumental)
08. Torn to Shreds
09. Revel in Contempt
10. A Critical Mass
11. Global Hysteria
12. Slaves of Consent

Furthermore, Dew-Scented keep adding shows to their 2010 live-schedule and have now announced to be supporting Heathen in Essen (Germany) at Turock on May 1st as well as supporting technical Death Metal legends Atheist on a short string of shows in June, leading up to France's Hellfest:

ATHEIST + DEW-SCENTED
WE 16.06. London (UK) - Underworld
TH 17.06. Köln (Germany) - Underground
FR 18.06. Groningen (The Netherlands) - Vera
SA 19.06. Clisson (France) - Hellfest Open Air

Jensen adds: "Atheist are a longtime fave band of mine and we seriously look forward to sharing stages with them! It will also be cool to return to London, where we haven't played since 2007! We just debuted the new songs 'Arise from Decay' and 'Condemnation' at shows this last weekend (thanks to Decision To Defy and the Iron Eagle crew in Lugau for the good time!) and they went down just great! The new album's songs will be killer additions to our live-set! Portugal is next this coming weekend!"

'Invocation' will be released May 24th, 2010 in Europe via Metal Blade Records and May 25th, 2010 in North America via Prosthetic Records.

(older news about the topic:)

German death-thrashers Dew-Scented are recording their 8th album. Here is the message from the band:

"Good evening everyone...

So yeah, Dew-Scented are finally in the studio recording a new album!

After some last preparations in our rehearsal room this past weekend, we started tracking drums at Soundlodge Studios with Jörg Uken on Monday. It's fucking freezing outside, but in terms of drumming things are going great so far and Marc-Andrée is on fire!

The material for this new album is INTENSE and the drumming pretty demanding, so it's gonna be fun working some more on this one...

By the way, we can now reveal as well that the new album will be entitled 'Invocation'. Our buddie and longterm partner in all visual matters Björn at killustrations.com has already prepared some killer artwork concept as well! We are super stoked with the results...

In other news, Dew-Scented have been confirmed to return to France's awesome Hellfest Open Air this year. We will be appearing on Saturday, June 19th and the line-up includes bands like Arch Enemy, Atheist, Behemoth, Godflesh, Immortal, KISS, Nevermore, SOIA, Twisted Sister and lots more! More info:

More cool festival appearances and club-shows are currently in the works and will be announced soon! Stay tuned...

Regarding the Bolt Thrower / Rotting Christ / Asphyx / Dew-Scented show on April 29th in Enschede's Atak venue: Please don't ask us for tickets – We don't have any! ;-)
That gig completely sold out within a couple of days only and promises to be a blast!

OK, gotta get back to work again but we will try to keep you informed about progress in the studio and hopefully have some video report stuff available soon as well.

In the meantime, be well and take it easy... Prost!

Dew-Scented"
