Nytt Land - Songs of the Shaman - VINYL LP

In a non-pop cultural, classic sense, the term 'shamanism' refers primarily to spiritual practices of indigenous Siberian peoples. Shamans interact with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness as protectors of their communities. On their album InchSongs of the ShamanInch, NYTT LAND interpret traditional shamanic songs or spells of Siberia's Manchu-Tungus ethno-linguistic groups. These songs use ancient musical techniques such as throat singing and drums and they were recorded in their original language. The latter was done to preserve the power that lies in the sound and the phonetics as well as the rhythm of the texts. This collection of primordial magic in the shape of songs summoning spirits, incantations, and wards has been carefully selected and deliberately excludes spells that are aimed at causing harm. NYTT LAND came into being as a ritualistic Nordic folk band envisioned by the husband and wife duo Natalya and Anatoly Pakhalenko in the Western Siberian town Kalachinsk, on the banks of River Om and crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway, in August 2013. Following three self-released albums, InchNytt LandInch (2013), InchHávamálInch (2015), and InchScopun Songs from the Elder EddaInch (2016), their tag debut InchFimbulvinterInch came out in 2017 and was followed by the 2018 full-length InchOðalInch. While NYTT LAND also continued to self- albums, the Siberian elements in their music began to surface stronger than before on their third tag full-length InchRitualInch. With InchSongs of the ShamanInch, NYTT LAND take the ones willing to hear on a journey to a place in time and space where spirits rule and even gods fear to tread. Listen with caution!

On their tenth full-length InchAba KhanInch, NYTT LAND pick up the stylistic thread that they had previously woven with InchRitualInch (2021). This means, the music is generally based on a foundation of current ritual dark folk to which the duo from Siberia adds elements from the native traditions of their home among other ingredients. Although NYTT LAND return to the less strict and rather popular formula with InchAba KhanInch, their inspiration has still come from a whole year of travelling through the vast territories of Siberia. The couple discovered new areas and got acquainted with spiritual traditions of the indigenous peoples that they met. The result of this journey is a collection of priceless treasures that has been respectfully translated into a contemporary musical language. NYTT LAND was created in August 2013 as a ritualistic Nordic folk band and driven by the musical vision of the husband and wife duo Natalya and Anatoly Pakhalenko. The couple lives in the Western Siberian town Kalachinsk that is located on the banks of River Om and crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway. True to their often dark and mysterious subjects, the lyrics of NYTT LAND echo myth and stories from legends and historical sources. Those are told in the languages of both indigenous Siberian tribes and Old Norse, with the balance gradually shifting towards the former over time. NYTT LAND dedicate InchAba KhanInch to the ancient, beautiful, and great lands of Siberia. Join them on a journey through time and space where spirits rule, shamans protect the people, and old gods whisper.
