Svalbard sign to Nuclear Blast Records
SVALBARD have signed with Nuclear Blast Records!
Since erupting onto the scene in 2011, the Bristol-based band have established themselves as torchbearers of the stellar wave of new British heavy metal. Now, on the back of 2020’s stunning When I Die, Will I Get Better?, the band have taken the next step in their career by signing with metal label giants Nuclear Blast Records.
Speaking about signing with Nuclear Blast, vocalist/guitarist Serena Cherry says, “I have many fond memories of visiting my local record shop and buying anything that had the Nuclear Blast logo stamped on it. You always knew you were in for a tasty metal treat with a Nuclear Blast band! Most days I have to pinch myself that we have now joined Nuclear Blast, it is a real dream come true for me to work with this amazing label.”
Guitarist Liam Phelan says, “I’m absolutely thrilled that we have been welcomed into the Nuclear Blast family with open arms and cannot wait to work with this iconic label.”
Nathan Barley Phillips, Senior Nuclear Blast A&R adds, “I’m absolutely delighted to welcome SVALBARD to Nuclear Blast! Ever since I heard the raw and visceral emotion of Disparity back in 2015, I was an instant fan. With biting lyrics and a keen observation of today’s societal issues, SVALBARD continue to be one of the most important and challenging voices in the heavy scene today. I’m delighted to be able to amplify this voice as the band get set to make an indelible mark on our genre.”
