Scardust release second Nightwish cover and tease an epic new video

SCARDUST to premiere a live video of the NIGHTWISH hit NOISE at 2.30pm UK on 12th May.

NOISE is the second video release taken from the Nightwish tribute show Scardust performed in December 2021 along with selected guests from the Israeli metal premiership and supported by the Hellscore choir. Noa, the singer of the band says “I grew up listening to Nightwish. It was one of the bands that inspired me the most growing up, so to me it was like going back to 16 years old Noa and making her dream come true in a way.”

And last month Hurdy Gurdy superstar and spiritual 6th member of Scardust, PATTY GURDY made it to Israel after a 2 year covid hiatus to perform with the band and film a stunning video for the song CONCRETE CAGES, a song that was written specially for her on the band’s current album STRANGERS

Here’s a teaser for the video which will be coming out soon…

SCARDUST persevered through the challenges presented by the events of 2020 and ended that year by releasing their acclaimed sophomore record “Strangers,” a unique concept album built of complementary song pairs working from the outside in. The music videos from the record, which can be seen at www.youtube.com/Scardust, further demonstrate the degree to which different tracks from the album are thematically connected. The makeup of the band continued to evolve in 2021, as bassist Yanai Avnet and keyboardist Itai Portugali said an amicable goodbye to SCARDUST, and the group officially welcomed into the fold longtime songwriting collaborator Orr Didi (bass) and longtime friend of the band Aaron Friedland (keyboards).

Mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Arch Enemy), “Strangers” was written and composed jointly by SCARDUST vocalist Noa Gruman and Didi, who also collaborated with the band on their full-length debut “Sands of Time” and their 2015 EP “Shadow.” The album features guest appearances by Gurdy, the Hellscore choir and England’s prestigious Westbrook Hay Prep School Chamber Choir.

Gruman was also featured as a guest lead vocalist on Therion’s latest record, “Leviathan” (Nuclear Blast), released in January 2021. This is in addition to an already-impressive list of recent guest vocal appearances, which also include Amorphis’ 2018 record “Queen of Time,” Orphaned Land’s 2018 album “Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs” and Ayreon’s recently released “Transitus.”

Israel’s leading progressive metal group, SCARDUST has performed at such major festivals as Ramblin’ Man Fair (UK), Metaldays (Slovenia) and Midi (China). In addition, the band hosts the annual “Scarfest” event in their home country, where they’ve also appeared alongside the likes of Therion, Epica and Symphony X.
