Noa Gruman (11 Dec 1988 -)
Vocal Range: C2 - G6
Associated Acts: Kol Hamishpaha (2004-present), Scardust (2013-present), 2for6 (2014-2016), Soul Enema (2016-2017), Hellscore (2016 - present)
{Vocal Summary}Israeli prog metal band Scardust have become well known for their eclectic, maximalist, and virtuosic sound, and very few vocalists could fit into that chaotic sonic palette nearly as well as Noa Gruman does. With a level of technical skill and versatility rivaled only by her former voice teacher Floor Jansen, Gruman's voice acrobatically spans across a frankly dizzying array of styles, including gritty rock belting, piercing operatic soprano notes, pleasant Disney-princess crooning, and even a shockingly vicious death growl. A naturally high-placed singer able to easily sing into the sixth octave, her voice can also manage some strong low notes if need be, though outside of some one-off covers she doesn't tend to rely upon them nearly as much as her magnificently multifaceted upper range. Her talents as a composer and arranger are also considerable, particularly the intricate vocal arrangements she devises for her metal a cappella group Hellscore, and with only a few albums under her belt she's got a long, incredibly promising career ahead of her as both frontwoman and bandleader. One of the best female vocalists in metal right now, period.
