Svalbard are the perfect soundtrack to the end of the world

Last month, I went to see Oathbreaker twice on their UK tour. Both shows were everything I hoped for from them, but something else came to my attention that I had been stupidly overlooking for years: Svalbard.

While I was aware of them, I hadn’t had the chance to become fully invested in them. Watching their combination of post rock and black metal was a mesmerising experience that has stuck with me ever since. Svalbard are a fine example of the talent rising up from the UK underground. The unrelenting euphoria of their music is the perfect soundtrack to the end of the world.
