Wow, this has been overdue! Sorry for the lack of updates from us (the band)
lately. We have been rather sloppy when it comes to servicing news to you and
even though we promise this will get far better in 2005, it's about time to give
you some overview on what has been happening for Dew-Scented these last weeks /
months and on what is soon to come!

First of all, thanks to everybody who came out to the last shows we did and to
all the cool bands that played out with us. It has been a pleasure making so
many new friends throughout 2004 and of course we already look forward to the
next gigs!!!

We would like to use this opportunity to again thank Marc Andree "Mücke" Dieken
(see photos 1 & 2 here) from german Death Metal kings Obscenity for helping us
out on drums for all shows we have played since the summer. We didn't really
make it public so far and we have seen some internet rumours about this already
(oh well, it happens...haha), but in fact Marc was kind enough to step in for
Uwe while he was taking care of his university duties lately. Needless to say,
he did a killer job...Thanks again, bro!

What else is new? Oh yeah, we won't be doing shows for a couple of months now
because we are working hard on the last songs for our new album! We have visited
Mr. Andy Classen at Stage One Studio (who already helped us with amazing sound
quality on "Inwards" and "Impact") some days ago for the first bits of pre-
production and we will be returning to his unholy halls between late January and
late February 2005 to record the still untitled next album. A worldwide release
via Nuclear Blast Records is expected for May, so watch out! We have some 12
songs done so far and another 3-4 are to follow...no titles available yet (too
early...) but the material is coming along really diverse and obviously heavy as
well! Our friend Björn from http://www.killustrations.com will be taking care of
the artwork again (as on "Impact") and we will make sure to keep you updated
some more when we have something useful to share with you!

Of course, we have already lined up some next shows for the time after we are
done with recordings. Here are all 2005 confirmed dates so far and expect more
to be added the next days:

album as well as several summer festivals, but we will give you notice soon when
all details come in! If you feel like offering us some more shows, then get in
touch NOW, as our schedule is already filling up mercilessly, haha! And please
announce, print or pass our dates, if you can - Thanks!

We still have some few left "Impact" shirts in case you feel like getting one at
last... just write us a short mail to info@dew-scented.com for details and
prices - Cheers!

Need some cool new METAL? Then check out the great new releases by The Haunted

Ok, enough for now! Have a nice winter-time everybody and stay extreme!
