German thrashers Dew-Scented will release "Insurgent" in North America on May 28 via Prosthetic Records. The 19-track effort will contain over an hour's worth of music, including three new songs mixed alongside live tracks and covers celebrating more than 20 years of restless, deadly thrash metal.

Dew-Scented will support Testament on a number of European shows starting on March 16 in Reggiolo, Italy. Also appearing on the bill is Bleed From Within.

Dew-Scented's latest album, "Icarus", was released on July 31, 2012 in North America via Prosthetic Records (one day earlier internationally through Metal Blade Records). The Cd featured guest appearances by Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath), Rob Urbinati (Sacrifice) and Dennis Schneider (Retaliation, Final Breath).

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.
