Dew-Scented

Germany’s curiously called death/thrash clothing Dew-Scented was founded in 1992 at that time drummer, later vocalist Leif Jensen. As well as assorted, short-tenured bandmates, he steadily parlayed a set of demos (1993’s Symbolization and 1994’s unnamed promo) right into a deal with regional impartial Steamhammer for 1996’s full-length debut, Immortelle. Intensive touring after that steadily constructed the band’s group of fans, as well as the addition of guitarist Florian Müller and drummer Uwe Werning helped Jensen, guitarist Ralf Klein, and bassist Patrick Helms additional refine their high-speed thrash chops during the period of two solid albums, 1998’s Dan Swanö-created Innocent and 1999’s Ill-Natured (both released by Grind Syndicate Press). Dew-Scented after that connected up with Nuclear Blast, and ensuing initiatives Inwards (2002 — documented being a quartet, pursuing Klein’s departure), Influence (2003), and Concern VI (2005 — offering brand-new bassist Alexander Pahl) noticed the group vying with Arch Foe, the Haunted, among others for the neo-death/thrash crown.
