German Thrash metallers DEW-SCENTED have finished recording and mixing their new album "Invocation" at Soundlodge Studio in Northern Germany with producer Jorg 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!!!"

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!"
