Band of the Day

Dew-Scented
Germany
Thrash/death metal

Sounds like: Slayer, Carnal Forge, Nightrage, The Duskfall

I never thought I would find a band even remotely close to Slayer regarding sound or style.  Honestly, my guess was that any attempt would be foolhardy anyway since few bands are as massive as Slayer.  That being said, one of the closest bands to create that sound is Dew-Scented.  A mixture of raw vocals, Slayer-like guitar melodies, and pounding rhythms, Dew-Scented also has a brutal thrash sound, clearly influenced by German thrash pioneers Kreator and Destruction.
