Dew-Scented is a German thrash metal band. They have released 7 studio albums so far and are currently signed to Nuclear Blast Records. Their name is inspired by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.

Formed in Northern Germany in 1992, adopting the name DEW-SCENTED was a deliberate attempt to be enigmatic and avoid becoming enslaved to expectation to secure a limitless scope of musical possibilities.

Releasing six songs as the Symbolization demo in the winter of 1993/1994, DEW-SCENTED scored a record deal with Steamhammer Records/SPV and released Immortelle in February 1996. Tours with Overkill, Edge Of Sanity, Morbid Angel, and Arch Enemy followed, as did the reputation of their live performances.

The toll of touring forced line-up changes, but led the band to evolve into a more solid unit. Channeling new focus into their second album under the seasoned production ear of Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection), Innoscent was released by fledgling label Grind Syndicate Media (GSM) in the summer of 1998.

DEW-SCENTED were soon sharing stages with Death, Dismember, Eucharist, Night In Gales, and with Deicide / Six Feet Under / Amon Amarth / Naglfar / Brutal Truth at the Summer Clash festival tour.
