Next year, the band are expected to complete their successful 15-year musical career. But they have some significant shows scheduled for fans before they leave their separate ways.
An iconic UK band announced their shock split this week after a 15-year run in the music industry.
In a heartfelt update to fans, the post-metal band Svalbard revealed the depressing news as they announced their final tour dates. They are made up of Adam Parrish, Liam Phelan, Mark Lilley, Matt Francis, and Serena Cherry, five members, who were formed in 2011.
Their 2015 album, One Day All This Will End, earned them a reputation for combining post-hardcore, post-metal, and black metal with emotionally raw, socially conscious lyrics. Svalbard has supported artists like Enslaved, Alcest, and Cult of Luna, and they have performed at festivals like Hellfest, Summer Breeze, Arctangent, and 2000 Trees.
The band, which is based between Bristol and London, is set to end their successful 15-year musical career in 2014. But they already have some significant gigs in mind. Additionally, they have a slot booked for Friday, June 13 for their debut performance at Download Festival this summer.
