SACRIFICE's ROB URBINATI To Guest On DEW-SCENTED Album
June 14, 2012Rob Urbinati of Canadian thrash metal veterans SACRIFICE is one of three musicians who have recorded special guest appearances on "Icarus", the new album from German thrashers DEW-SCENTED.
Commented Urbinati: "SACRIFICE have been honored by DEW-SCENTED in the past with a cover song, now I am honored to be included on the track 'Gleaming Like Silver'."
DEW-SCENTED covered SACRIFICE's "Apocalypse Inside" song on 1999's "Ill-Natured" album.
"Icarus" will be released on July 31 in North America via Prosthetic Records (one day earlier internationally through Metal Blade Records).
DEW-SCENTED vocalist Leif Jensen previously described the "Icarus" main theme as "a modern-times, very apocalyptic adaption of elements of the Icarus myth, using a lot of its symbolism while interlinking with several other personal or observant subjects in true DEW-SCENTED fashion." While the album — recorded at Soundlodge Studio and produced by Jörg Uken (NIGHTFALL, SUICIDAL ANGELS, GOD DETHRONED) — is not quite a concept album per se, Jensen said "Icarus" "has a pretty coherent lyrical flow, and that helps to enhance and also to intentionally enlarge the atmosphere and vibe created by the music." The "Icarus" cover artwork was once created by Björn Goosses of Killustrations.
DEW-SCENTED's new lineup is as follows (pictured from left to right in photo below):

Leif Jensen - Vocals
Joost van der Graaf - Bass
Koen Herfst - Drums
The new DEW-SCENTED lineup will play its first shows on July 20 at Metalsplash festival and July 21 at Queens Of Metal festival.
