SVALBARD was started as an ambient one-man project in 2006. It’s music was based on the mixture of Dark Ambient and Neoclassic.

During the winter of 2007 the first demo titled ‘Stille’ was recorded and soon SVALBARD received the invitation to take part in the international fest „Crivia Aeterna“. After the band’s first performance it’s conception was reworked and the following year SVALBARD performed their new program together with the new member [K.S.] who since then has become responsible for the lyrics of the project. After this performance the band received their first contract with „Der Angriff“ (subdivision of Russian label „Indiestate“) and released their first EP ‘Treue Vaterland Jugend’.
During spring and the summer of 2009 SVALBARD was working on their first LP ‘Heimkunft’, mastered by Axel Frank (Werkraum, Triarii, Sturmpercht),  that is now to be released on the German „Lichterklang“ label. 

Combining the military precision of Dernière Volonté with the pathetic edge of Leger des Heils, SVALBARD and „Heimkunft“ reveals a new image of Military Pop: straight forward with powerful  martial drums and a hymn-like character, to name it „Elitist Dance Music Against a Modern World“.
