With their tenth album Intermination due out later this month, German thrashers Dew-Scented have unveiled a third new track, "Ode To Extinction" in lyric video form.

Bassist Joost van der Graaf stated, “The idea for the music for ‘Ode To Extinction’ came from the bass intro, which was something I had been fooling around with for a while. As soon as the music kicks in, this progression is played by Marv (guitarist), while Rory (guitarist) and I support it with a riff underneath. On its way, it turns out to be a four-riff song but with quite a lot going on and a bit of an unusual structure. I am pleased with the melody/heaviness balance. Furthermore, I think Marv and Rory did a great job with the leads!”

Vocalist Leif Jensen added, "This track has some unusual structure and a pretty apocalyptic vibe to it, so the lyrics pretty much wrote themselves. It’s surely one of the heaviest songs on Intermination and should be fun to play live!"

All formats of Intermination include a cover of Repulsion's "Radiation Sickness," while the digital edition and the limited-edition gatefold vinyl (dark green and 180-gram black variants) will include two bonus tracks, “Those Who Will Not See” and “Survival Reaction” (Solstice cover). Pre-order information, including exclusive t-shirt bundles, can be found at this location.
