“Scardust’s debut is packed with gothic drama from start to finish….But it’s singer Noa Gruman’s vocal gymnastics that stand out as she flips between elegant soprano and gutteral demon in a split second…..2015 EP Shadow hinted at what they could do but ‘Sands Of Time’ is extraordinary.”
Prog Magazine
“In a land that has given the world Orphaned Land, Reign Of The Architect, Quietus, Yossi Sassi Band, Soul Enema, Distorted Harmony, etc … Scardust are certainly a band that can continue to establish Israel as a progressive metal powerhouse on a global scale. Due to its unique sound and consistent intensity, I am giving Scardust’s Sands Of Time a 5/5″
Power Of Prog
“…..“Sands of Time” is timeless! It is a progressive metal epic that expands on the legacy of the biggest names in the genre but it also brings together multiple influences from various directions. Prog fans, symphonic metal fans, opera listeners, head-bang addicts, jazzy nerds and death metal maniacs come together and rejoice! Scardust has it all!”
Metal Observer, 10/10
“The astounding song writing, the high-quality instrumentals and jaw-dropping emotion-dripping vocals will pretty much match everything out there at present.”
Rock Music Raider, 9/10
‘Sands Of Time’ was mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend, BTBAM) and features cover art by Drake Mefestta (Cradle of Filth, Michael Romeo, Devilment) – is available now on gatefold double LP, digital and compact disc.
