Heute sind Svalbard stolz darauf, eine brandneue Single „ Eternal Spirits “ zu veröffentlichen, die von einem elektrisierenden Live-Musikvideo begleitet wird. „ Eternal Spirits “ ist ein kompromissloser, ergreifender Track, der der Erinnerung an die legendären Musiker unserer Community gewidmet ist, die wir leider verloren haben. Es zeigt Spitzbergen Finesse und feuriger Geist, wo musikalische Wildheit und Ätherik ineinanderfließen und ein eindrucksvolles, tobendes Meer schmieden. Svalbard arbeiten derzeit an ihrem vierten Studioalbum.
Svalbard’s Serena Cherry stated,
„Eternal Spirits is one of the most tragic songs we have ever written, yet it is also a celebration of legacy and musical heritage. It is a song about late metal musicians who sadly passed away too soon and the loss we feel within the metal community without their presence. This song is a heartfelt tribute to our metal heroes who are gone but will never be forgotten, because their legacy lives on in the millions of hearts they have touched with their music. It’s crushing when your heroes die, but with this song we want to commemorate our late heroes glorious music and the legions of bands they have inspired. That inspiration will never die.
On a more personal level, Joey Jordison was the person who inspired me to pick up an instrument. I started learning drums when I was 12 years old because of the energy and passion he exuded from his playing. When I listened to his drumming, every hit gave me a surge of motivation. His creative spark lit a fire within me that will never be extinguished. I’d like to dedicate Eternal Spirits to his memory.„
