SVALBARD Share Final Song “If We Could Still Be Saved” Ahead of UK Farewell Tour

British post-metal outfit Svalbard have released their final track, “If We Could Still Be Saved”, marking the next step in their farewell following the band’s May announcement that they would be calling it quits. The new single arrives just ahead of their UK farewell tour, which features support from Cage Fight and Knife Bride.

Vocalist and guitarist Serena Cherry reflected on the significance of the release:

“We spend most of our lives unaware of finality. Blissfully oblivious to when those musical notes played will be our last.

So, when we can see an end in sight for something, it distorts the view. Like a funeral marked in your calendar a year in advance. Appreciation shows it’s sheepish face and whispers: ‘sorry I took so long.’

This is the last time we will release a song as Svalbard. Its a song not just heavy with riffs but heavy with sentiment, reflecting on our 15 years as a band. It’s also a parting gift to all of the people who have supported us.

Think of it as the metal version of ‘Goodbye’ by the Spice Girls!”

A video for “If We Could Still Be Saved”, directed by David Gregory, is available to watch below.
