Introducing three special guest-musician appearances on “Icarus”; Confirmed for Summer Breeze!

June 19th, 2012

Hey everybody!

With the release date for “Icarus” drawing nearer, we would like to reveal that we have 3 very special musicians guesting on our new album as follows:

Rob Urbinati (Sacrifice) – Guest vocals on “Gleaming Like Silver”

Rob Urbinati (Sacrifice) – Guest vocals on “Gleaming Like Silver”

Sacrifice are one of the best and most underrated Thrash Metal bands ever and a big influence on Leif for his vocal-work with DEW-SCENTED. From their debut masterpiece “Torment In Fire” (1985) to their amazing comeback album “The Ones I Condemn” (2009), these guys have always delivered trendless, classy Thrash Metal with amazing riffing and tasty songwriting. DEW-SCENTED had covered Sacrifice’s “Apocalypse Inside” song on 1999’s “Ill-Natured album and stayed in casual contact with Rob and Sacrifice ever since. It’s awesome to have Rob now do guest vocals for “Gleaming Like Silver” in a duet with Leif!

Rob Urbinati comments: “Sacrifice have been honoured by DEW-SCENTED in the past with a cover song, now I am honoured to be included on the track ‘Gleaming Like Silver’.”

Dennis Schneider (Retaliation / Final Breath) – Guest guitar leads on “The Fall Of Man” and “Perpetuated”

Dennis Schneider (Retaliation / Final Breath) – Guest guitar leads on “The Fall Of Man” and “Perpetuated”

Dennis Schneider is an incredibly talented guitarist that has jammed with DEW-SCENTED in the rehearsal room before. In the production period for “Icarus” the idea came up to have him be part of the actual album as well by adding some skillful lead guitar parts. Dennis appears with some furious shred on the songs “The Fall Of Man” and “Perpetuated”.

Dennis Schneider comments: “I’ve been hooked on DEW-SCENTED ever since the release of ‘Impact’ back in 2003. When they asked me to do a few guest leads on the new album I didn’t hesitate one second. I’m really happy with the way it turned out – ‘Icarus’ will rip your head off!”

Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity / Bloodbath) – Guest vocals on “Reawakening”

Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity / Bloodbath) – Guest vocals on “Reawakening”

Dan has been a longterm buddy and true inspiration for DEW-SCENTED and it’s almost like a closing circle to have him involved with “Icarus”. Dan and Leif first met him on the debut Edge Of Sanity tour with Assorted Heap in 1992 and then DEW-SCENTED toured with Edge Of Sanity in 1996, where funnily enough Marvin also already appeared as the band’s lead guitarist. Consequently, Dan went on to help DEW-SCENTED by mixing 1998’s “Innoscent” album and Leif has ever since always wanted to do vocal or production work with Dan on some level again. Having Dan do his trademark deep grunts as duet vocals with Leif on the song “Reawakening” is a big honour and personal satisfaction for us.

Dan Swanö comments: “After touring with them, mixing with them, it was about goddamned time that I also sang a nice tune with them. The interplay between mine and Leif’s vocals worked out perfectly. Like a duet between Satan and the Devil ;)”

In further good news, DEW-SCENTED can now announce to be appearing at this year’s edition of Summer Breeze Open Air in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, on Friday, August 17th, 2012. It’s a great pleasure for DEW-SCENTED to return to one of Germany’s leading festivals! After 2001, 2003 and 2010, it will be our 4th time there and other bands appearing this year include Amon Amarth, Asphyx, Behemoth, Immortal, Iced Earth, Morgoth, Napalm Death, Six Feet Under, Lacuna Coil and many others.

DEW-SCENTED launch first song off “Icarus”; Unveil album tracklisting!

June 4th, 2012

Icarus

Hey Thrashers!

We are happy to be able to finally present you a full new track off “Icarus”. Check out a stream of the album’s first song “Sworn To Obey” at the “Icarus” landing page from Metal Blade Records here: http://www.metalblade.com/dew-scented/

DEW-SCENTED vocalist Leif Jensen comments about “Sworn To Obey” as follows:

“’Sworn To Obey’ was an obvious candidate to open up the new album and it was actually one of the very last tracks we finished in the songwriting sessions for ‘Icarus’. Already when working on the final arrangements for the song, we knew it would become an extremely heavy and catchy piece! Kicking in after the anthem-like ‘Hubris’ instrumental intro, ‘Sworn To Obey’ is a sweet punch in the gut in true DEW-SCENTED style and smoothly helps to set the album’s pace in the right fashion! I simply love the lead-guitar part and the crazy bass-lines afterwards. I’m sure this one will be real fun to play live…”
