Russian shamanic dark nordic folk project Nytt Land has released the second single, "Song Of U-Gra", from its upcoming EP, Ritual: Blood Of The West, to be released on 18 November digitally via Napalm Records.
"Song Of U-Gra" was already released on its latest album, Ritual, and has been reworked in western-inspired ways. This new interpretation, once again, immerses powerful throat singing with the soothing sounds of acoustic guitars. This mythical combination of storytelling and smooth guitar riffs offers a different approach without neglecting their legacy.
Nytt Land on "Song Of U-Gra": "This video repeats the plot of the original song in meaning, and this version of the song and the video were made to express our respect for the Native Americans, in addition to showing the cultural relationship of the indigenous peoples of Siberia and America. The tribes of the American Indians are the descendants of the Siberian tribes who migrated to the territory of America during the ice age fifteen thousand years ago".
Nytt Land on the new EP: "We've said many times that country and blues music are some of our favourite music genres. This EP is our tribute and memory to those great musicians who stood at the very origins of American country and blues music, those whose music inspires us daily. For us, working on this album has become the most unusual, but at the same time extremely interesting experience. And we really love that we did it!"
