Vocalist Leif Jensen checks in with the following comment: "It is done! After long weeks of intense work, we are finished tracking and mixing this new album... What a great feeling! The new song-material is totally fresh and energetic to us and I hope all you Thrash maniacs will dig it as much as we do! Despite the band's lineup changes, we are pretty much staying true to our traditional stylistic formula and tried to combine the best of our 80's thrash metal roots with the punch of a modern production and an utterly aggressive performance! Look out!!!"

The band has also released the tracklisting for Invocation:

'Downfall' (Instrumental)

'Arise From Decay'

'The Invocation'

'Have No Mercy On Us'

'Artificial Life'

'Condemnation'

Furthermore, Dew-Scented have announced more shows in 2010 including support to HEATHEN in Essen, Germany at Turock on May 1st as well as supporting technical death metal legends ATHEIST on a short string of shows in June, leading up to France's Hellfest.

Jensen adds: "Atheist are a longtime fave band of mine and we seriously look forward to sharing stages with them! It will also be cool to return to London, where we haven't played since 2007! We just debuted the new songs 'Arise From Decay' and 'Condemnation' at shows this last weekend (Thanks to DECISION TO DEFY and the IRON EAGLE crew in Lugau for the good time!) and they went down just great! The new album's songs will be killer additions to our live-set! Portugal is next this coming weekend!"
