Scardust To Release New Album "Souls" In July; Shares New Music Video "Dazzling Darkness"

Progressive symphonic metal band Scardust are thrilled to announce the release of their anticipated new studio album "Souls," out on July 18th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. The band has also shared the new single and accompanying official video, “Dazzling Darkness," which can be seen below.

The band commented on the new album by saying: "'Souls' is a deep personal journey for us, combining everything from intricate progressive elements to sweeping symphonic passages, anthemic choruses and epic choirs. This album is a milestone for the band. It contains the Scardust DNA while experimenting with different writing and composing methods, involving every single musician in the band, resulting in the creation of the next evolution of our sound and pushing the boundaries of what we can express through music.

"Thematically we’ve explored ideas of memory, belonging, loss, and the desire for connection, weaving in influences from different musical worlds, including orchestral, Mediterranean, and even Celtic sounds," they added. "'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."
