Israeli progressive metallers SCARDUST have released a new music video for ‘Gone‘. The track is taken from their new album ‘Strangers‘, which will be released on October 30th, 2020 via M-Theory Audio.
Today we dream together Hand in hand we gather Memories to pack when we go TOMORROW I’LL BE GONE”
Says vocalist Noa Gruman, “You have your own dreams and ambitions, and sometimes you may choose to achieve them by yourself.
Gone is told by one who left. It shows the bitter sweet side of caring deeply about someone but having to leave them for your own personal needs.
The song is fast, exciting, feels like a soundtrack to accompany a big adventure, and the choruses are repetitive and catchy.”
“In the video we see the band playing together by a concrete wall representing today.
They are surrounded by paint cans lying on the ground. Suddenly, the video takes a sharp turn and the musicians appear each in their own unique location by the sea, in a bright colorful dream-like scene representing tomorrow.
Then back to playing together by the concrete wall, and so on alternately, until we get to the instrumental section.
From there it becomes a big explosion of color smears and splashes, alongside musicians playing in a dark closed scene, then back to the sea, back to the concrete, and ending in a beautiful sea painting… on the concrete.”
Mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Arch Enemy), “Strangers” was written and composed jointly by singer Noa Gruman and composer Orr Didi, who also collaborated with Gruman on SCARDUST’s full-length debut “Sands of Time” – which was hailed by Prog Magazine as “extraordinary” – and their 2015 EP “Shadow.
The album features guest appearances from German folk musician Patty Gurdy, as well as vocals by the Hellscore choir and England’s prestigious Westbrook Hay Prep School Chamber Choir.
