Euphoric Bristol metallers\u00a0Svalbard<\/strong><\/a> have returned with a new track called ‘Eternal Spirits’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is the first slice of new music since they joined\u00a0<\/a>Nuclear Blast<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>last summer.<\/p>\n

“This song is a heartfelt tribute to our metal heroes who are gone but will never be forgotten”<\/em><\/h2>\n

On the track,\u00a0Svalbard<\/strong> vocalist\/guitarist Serena Cherry described ‘Eternal Spirits’ as “one of the most tragic songs we have ever written, yet it is also a celebration of legacy and musical heritage.”\u00a0<\/em>It sees the quartet pay tribute to those in the metal community who are no longer with us, with Cherry dedicating the track to the late Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison.<\/p>\n

“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,”<\/em> states Cherry. “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.”<\/em><\/p>\n
