EP (2009) coming soon! 2] SVALBARD was started as an ambient one-man project in 2006. Its music was based on the mixture of dark ambient and neoclassic. During the winter of 2007 the first band's demo titled 'Stille' was recorded and soon SVALBARD received the invitation to take part in the international fest CRIVIA AETERNA.
