Nytt Land attracts audiences who enjoy ritual folk, dark ambient music and Nordic mythology.


Ritual music of the tundra

Nytt Land creates music inspired by shamanism, ancient Nordic texts and the traditions of Siberian peoples. Their sound combines throat singing, ancient instruments and atmospheric sounds of nature.

The result is a powerful atmosphere reminiscent of a ritual ceremony. Through their music, audiences are transported to the world of the tundra, taiga and ancient mythological stories.

Belgrade audiences have already experienced this unique concert atmosphere during the band’s previous appearance.


The album “Aba Khan”

The latest album “Aba Khan” explores shamanic and mythological themes even further. The band continues to develop its signature sound through ritual rhythms, throat singing and traditional instruments.

Songs from this album will form a major part of the Belgrade setlist, along with selected tracks from their earlier releases.


Why this concert is special

A Nytt Land show is not a typical club performance. Their concerts are often described as ritual experiences that merge music, mythology and the atmosphere of ancient cultures.

Zappa Barka is the perfect venue for this kind of performance, allowing an intense connection between the band and the audience.


Conclusion

Nytt Land in Belgrade promises an evening of ritual folk, shamanic atmosphere and ancient sounds of the tundra.

See you on May 21 at Zappa Barka — this is a concert not to be missed.

Hangtime also organizes a Nytt Land concert on May 10 at Močvara in Zagreb, giving regional audiences two opportunities to experience this unique musical ritual.


Nytt Land – Siberian Ritual Folk and the Shamanic Sound of the Tundra

Who Are Nytt Land

Nytt Land was formed in 2013 in the town of Kalachinsk in the Omsk region of Siberia, more than 4,700 kilometers away from Zagreb. The project was founded by the married couple Natalia and Anatoly Pakhalenko, who quickly created a distinctive musical world inspired by shamanism, Nordic mythology and the harsh landscapes of Siberia.

Their music blends dark neopagan atmosphere, throat singing and traditional instruments. This unique combination gives Nytt Land a recognizable sound and turns their concerts into an experience often described as a ritual or ceremonial performance.


The Sound of the Tundra and Ancient Instruments

One of the defining elements of Nytt Land’s sound is the use of handcrafted traditional instruments. Among them are the kantele and talharpa, instruments rooted in Nordic and Baltic musical traditions.

The band also incorporates natural ambient sounds into their music. Recordings of ravens, wind and forest environments appear throughout their compositions. These elements create an immersive sonic landscape that transports listeners deep into the Siberian wilderness. Because of this atmosphere, some describe their music as a “hallucinogenic walk through the tundra.”


Nordic Mythology and the Poetic Edda

The lyrical themes of Nytt Land are often inspired by Nordic mythology. In particular, they draw from the Poetic Edda, a collection of 38 poems that represents one of the most important sources of Norse mythological tradition.

Through these texts, the band builds a symbolic world of ancient stories, gods and mythological landscapes. This combination of music, mythology and ritual aesthetics makes their artistic expression unique within the contemporary folk and dark ambient scene.


New Albums and Creative Momentum

In recent years Nytt Land has remained very active in the studio. After releasing the album “Torem”, which they also presented to audiences in Zagreb, the band continued their creative output with new material.

The album “Songs of the Shaman” was released in 2025, followed by their latest record “Aba Khan.” Both releases expand the band’s sonic world and further explore themes rooted in shamanic traditions and ancient cultures.

This continuous stream of new music shows that Nytt Land is currently in a strong creative and touring phase.


Nytt Land Live

Nytt Land’s live performances are often described as ritual experiences. Throat singing, ancient instruments and a dark atmospheric stage presence create the feeling of a ceremonial gathering.

This powerful combination makes their concerts stand apart from typical live shows and leaves a lasting impression on audiences across Europe.
