When it comes to Thrash, the bay area scene of the mid to late 80’s was without a doubt where it was at bar none. Bands such as Exodus, Metallica and Death Angel were ripping apart the L.A. scene like no one could have ever imagined, in fact, very few artists outside of those legendary circles have actually ever achieved much if any recognition. Now that we are decades beyond the fearsome 80’s heyday of bullet belts and torn jeans, thrash is making a remarkable come back. One of the bands leading the charge of modern day thrash is Germany’s Dew-Scented whose no nonsense attack is head on and in your face. While the classic sound of the past remains a constant in the music of Dew-Scented they have opted to deliver a much heavier punch than was prevalent back in the day. One immediately obvious progression is the bands hostile vocal arrangement which absolutely dominates their latest CD Incinerate. I was recently given the opportunity to speak with frontman Leif Jensen in regard to their recent release and the effect they are having on the Metal community in relation to this reemergence of Thrash Metal madness, the differences between European bands and American bands and the use of profanity.
