Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

After her dramatic success leading Sabaton’s Legendary Orchestra last year Noa Gruman returns with Scardust to support the battlefield bards at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk on 31st May and Lochotin Amphitheater in Plzeň on 3rd June.

Scardust kick off their summer tour in the UK with shows in Stockport and London then head to Poland where Noa will rehearse Sabaton’s choir before playing the two Sabaton shows with Scardust. Two weeks later they headline Revolution Rocks in Belgrade and in July head back to Poland for the Ostrów Rock Festival. Next, it’s off to the USA for a long awaited appearance at Prog Power USA in Atlanta. More dates in Europe will follow in September with details still to be confirmed.

Noa Gruman commented: “We’re thrilled to headline Revolution Rocks – a festival that doesn’t just celebrate live music, but reshapes how it’s experienced. Headlining a stage where artists are empowered and fans can support music directly means a lot to us. We’ll also be there on day two – meeting you, joining the conversations, and sharing the space beyond the stage – so come be part of it with us.”

“We’re incredibly proud to be joining Sabaton – true legends and wonderful people who have been a real inspiration to us. Sharing the stage with Floor Jansen, whose artistry has influenced us for years, and with the fantastic Majestica, makes this lineup especially meaningful. It’s both an honour and a privilege, and we can’t wait to connect with these audiences and share many magical moments together”, she added.

ABOUT SCARDUST:
With the release of the band’s first EP, “Shadow” (2015) and the release of their first full length LP. “Sands of Time” (2017) Scardust positioned them as a promising newcomer of the new progressive metal scene. They rapidly rose to the top of the local metal scene, selling out shows and opening for the likes of Symphony X, Therion and Epica and started touring overseas playing festivals and headline shows in Germany, China and the UK as well as continuing to headline shows and festivals at home.
From the beginning the band strove for exceptional artistic and instrumental achievement at the highest level and Noa Gruman’s voice captivates her listeners whether with its gentle purity, operatic power or guttural growls.
Despite the challenges of Covid-19, 2020 saw the release of their sophomore album “Strangers” accompanied by seven self-produced music videos. Described by Dead Rhetoric as “captivating from start to finish,” Strangers introduced a unique concept album built on complementary song pairs, earning strong critical and fan acclaim.
2022 started on a high note with the visit of folk star Patty Gurdy, who joined Scardust for a live show in Israel and filmed the band’s most viewed video to date, “Concrete Cages”. That summer, the band headlined multiple shows across Europe, performing to packed arenas at Wacken Open Air & Dong Open Air where they earned the praise of Testament’s Steve Di Giorgio who, on hearing the band from backstage, ran out front and watched the entire set ‘mesmerised’. The year concluded with the release of the dramatic one-shot video video “Evolution of the Disney – But She’s METAL” in which Noa weaves her way through a magical metaL arrangement of all the best known Disney Princess songs.

2023 saw Scardust release of Game of Now, a cinematic piece set in a futuristic dystopian live show, play festivals and concerts across Europe and join power metal legends Blind Guardian on tour. The year culminated in the signing of a major multi-album deal with Frontiers Records – heralding the release of the highly anticipated album “Souls”. December 2024 saw the release of My Haven from Souls followed by RIP, Unreachable and Dazzling Darkness. With 2024 being taken up with writing and recording Souls it wasn’t until early 2025 that they were able to announce that Ross Jennings (Haken) was guesting on the album and was to join the band for headline show resulting in the epic Touch of Life video. Towards the end of 2025 Noa Gruman was the featured lead singer and conductor of The Legendary Orchestra on Sabaton’s large-scale European arena Legendary Tour, performing re-imaged versions of Sabaton’s music with orchestral and choral arrangements.
The band also announced a lineup change with founding member Orr Didi departing and Bar Sasson joining on bass, as Scardust look ahead to an active 2026 with international touring plans.
“Souls is our most ambitious album to date, incorporating Scardust’s signature technical musicianship, and featuring the Hellscore choir and a string quartet throughout the entire album plus guest appearances from some international top tier musicians like Ross Jennings (Haken), Ally Storch (Subway to Sally), a Turkish orchestra and the TLV orchestra. It’s bold, it’s emotional and we hope it resonates deeply wherever it is heard.”
