Svalbard - treue vaterland jugend - 2009

Label: Der Angriff

Format: MCD

Country: Belarus

Style: Military Pop

Svalbard is a promising newcomer from Belarus, which is known to the audience due to its successful performances on Crivia Aeterna festivals in Minsk, where they shared the scene with such internationally acclaimed acts like Moon Far Away, Pragnavit and Ritual Front. The music of Svalbard is a mixture of electronic military-pop and acoustic neofolk with some neoclassical elements and historical samples. Unlike many of todays act on martial scene, this project is not just a clone of its successful cult predecessors, it has its own unique face, combining great enthusiasm with strong ability to compose catchy melodies, which are destined to be popular hits on the scene. The debut MCD "Treue Vaterland Jugend" is about the struggle as an imminent component of life, the life that is consolidated with suffering and hope, when every moment given by Eternity is to be used to return to the roots. The release comes in a deluxe full-colour vinyl-like embossed cardboard cover with printed inner sleeve and partial UV-laquering. 6 tracks, 25 minutes, limited to 500 copies.

来自白俄罗斯的Svalbard，继Dernière Volonté之后出现的又一出色Military Pop团体，扛起了Military Pop大旗，不过内在气质和Dernière Volonté相距甚远，Dernière Volonté音乐里更多展现出那种忧郁的法式浪漫主义，Svalbard音乐里更多采用进行曲式节奏，风格迥异，不过共同特点就是好听。不过由于只是一张6首歌曲的MCD，谁有完整MCD给我个下载地址，我也就从他的Space页面抓取到3首，不多做评论，期待他的正式CD。
