-Dew-Scented-

Formed in 1992, it didn't take long before Dew-Scented felt ready to release their first demo tape 'Symbolization' in the winter of 1993. The Northern German band gained a huge amount of positive feedback within the global underground scene with the six-song tape. In the end Dew-Scented (an Edgar Allan Poe inspired name) signed a record deal with Steamhammer Records/SPV and released their debut album 'Immortelle' in February 1996.

The band promoted the release of their first full-length record by touring a lot and Dew-Scented managed to achieve a very solid reputation of being an aggressive, very intense live experience. Some line-up changes occured but nevertheless didn't stop the band from growing into a more solid, mature unit who immediately began concentrating on writing more compact and relentless songs for the follow-up album, 'Innoscent'; released in the early summer of 1998 through Grind Syndicate Media.

Dew-Scented once again headed out to present the album on European stages. A sting of tours and plenty of single shows with bands as diverse in style as Dismember or Night In Gales followed. Without any actual time-off the band managed to complete a new album which was released in the summer of 1999. 'Ill-Natured' marked the band's most acclaimed production so far and featured the most elaborate Dew-Scented song writing. The band successfully merged death and thrash metal elements, striking melody with technical passages and all the while still never forgetting about the total brutality that the music should convey.

In the summer of 2001 Dew-Scented entered the respected Stage One Studios with producer Andy Classen to nail down the fourth full-length album called 'Inwards'. With the consistent line-up from the last couple of years, Dew-Scented fully impress on these 10 new songs. All in all, 'Inwards' turned out to be an album with an energetic approach that is second to none; a truly indispensable brutal thrash metal jewel perfectly suitable for fans of Slayer and Death as well as At The Gates and The Haunted.
