Nytt Land has unveiled the first video, "Totem", from their forthcoming tenth full-length, Aba Khan, due on 20 February 2026 through Prophecy Productions.

Nytt Land's throat singer and multi-instrumentalist, Anatoly Pakhalenko, comments: "In all truth, 'Totem' is a spell that is part of the Mansi tribe's ritual traditions, who preserve their ancestral faith and shamanic lore in the wild forests of Western Siberia and the Ural Mountains to this day. This is not just a song; it is a real and ancient ritual of worshipping the elder spirits of the forest. Prepare to become a part of it".

On Aba Khan, Nytt Land pick up the stylistic thread that they had previously woven with Ritual (2021). It 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 Aba Khan, 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 the 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 dedicate Aba Khan to the great, beautiful and ancient lands of Siberia. Join them on a journey through time and space where spirits rule, shamans protect the people, and old gods whisper.

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. Link
