Israel’s leading progressive metal band Scardust has signed to M-Theory Audio who will reissue the group’s acclaimed full-length debut, Sands of Time, on 24th May ahead of several major summer festival performances.
The deal calls for Sands of Time to be made available for the first ever on vinyl, in a limited-edition double record release that will include the group’s 2015 debut EP Shadow in its entirety on Side D. The CD version
will include a bonus acoustic piano demo of a brand-new song called ‘Mist’, and the record will also be available digitally. The record features guest vocals from Kobi Farhi (Orphaned Land) and Jake E (Cyhra/ex-Amaranthe).
“We are very excited to be working with M-Theory Audio, whose philosophy of co-operation between artists mirrors our own,” said Scardust vocalist Noa Gruman. “It’s great to have the Sands of Time CD released globally, and the pressing of a double vinyl LP which will include our EP Shadow is something that would have been impossible for us to do as an independent band. Signing with M-Theory, as well as working on new material and preparing for summer festivals, makes us feel that the future looks very bright for us, and we can’t wait to bring our epic experience to new crowds and new heights.”
Summer festival performances include the UK’s Ramblin’ Man Fair, where they will perform on the Prog In The Park stage alongside Riverside, Pain of Salvation and Anathema, and at Slovenia’s week-long Metaldays which also features the likes of Dream Theater, Arch Enemy and Demons & Wizards, as well as the Taihu Midi Festival in Suzhou near Shanghai in China.
