We met the Israeli progressive metal band SCARDUST in Berlin before their gig with MORAN MAGAL and STIMMGEWALT.

In the interview, singer Noa, guitarist Yadin, bass player Yanai, drummer Yoav, and keyboardist Itaytell us their news of the last six months, their future plans like finding a label, album recordings, and rehearsals.

And my personal surprise of the evening: Noa took singing lessons with Floor Jansen for a long time! Well if I think about Noa‘s vocal skills, it’s not that surprising that she learned from the best. 😉

After the interview, Noa told us she wasn’t happy with her answer about “how to growl”. So she wrote as a short statement to complement her answer:

“In a nutshell –

The first thing most of us do when we are born is… scream!

Noa (SCARDUST)

We scream for a long time, loud, in a high pitch, maybe even with a distortion effect, and, well, our throat doesn’t get hurt! We all have the natural ability to use our voice in far more extreme ways than we think or believe we can. My philosophy about singing is that it’s much easier than most people think, because of the simple fact that it’s just natural. We need to get back to those old good habits that we had. Yes, of course, it takes practice, but the very first step is to start realizing that it’s really not that hard. It will make you progress faster and will make everything way more fun in the process.”
