Nytt Land is a Siberian folk music group whose unique sound is deeply rooted in ancient Nordic traditions and the expansive mystique of their homeland’s natural landscape. Conceived in 2013, the band's core is formed by the husband and wife duo of Anatoly Pakhalenko and Natalya Pakhalenko. Their music is heavily inspired by shamanic culture and the stark beauty of the Taiga region, often incorporating traditional instruments such as the tagelharpa (a historical Scandinavian bowed lyre), mouth harp, and vargan, along with ritualistic percussion and otherworldly throat singing. Nytt Land's compositions are not only a representation of Norse mythology and folklore but also an exploration of the shamanistic heritage of Siberia, intertwining Scandinavian and Siberian ethos into a captivating aural tapestry.

Throughout their discography, including albums such as "Nord," "Ritual," and "Ritual: Blood of the West," Nytt Land has consistently crafted an immersive atmosphere that invites listeners into the old-world spirit. Notable releases such as "Svartravn," "Huginn ok Muninn," and "Dark Country. Ritual" showcase the group's penchant for dark, ambient sounds that are both haunting and enchanting. By drawing upon a wealth of cultural and historical sources, their music tells a story that transcends time and space, offering an experience that is as cinematic as it is musical. Nytt Land's dedication to authenticity and atmospheric depth has resonated with audiences worldwide, allowing them to carve out a distinct niche within both the folk and world music scenes.
