https://www.rockngrowl.com/scardust-singer-noa-gruman-and-youtube-queen-patty-gurdy-talking-about-strangers-video-posted Summary of an interview released by the band. Lacks independence. Yes No Fails WP:SIGCOV
https://metalmaximumradio.net/2020/12/01/scardust-release-break-the-ice-music-video/ While this is supposedly a review, all of the critical assessments are quotes from other publications, and it reads like a promotional press release rather than a review. As such I question the independence and reliability of this article. Yes No Fails WP:SIGCOV

https://www.sonicperspectives.com/features/the-2020-favorite-progressive-metal-albums/ Album review in a respectable ezine with reliable editorial oversight. This is a good source. (a note; academic journals and major established newspapers and magazines like The New Yorker and Time also take submissions and occasionally publish them after fact checking. The fact that this magazine allows bands to submit recordings for review doesn't mean this source lacks independence as they explicitly state policies that insure editorial oversight and independence, and are selective in what submissions they accept).
