Ritual folk entity Nytt Land has been forced to delay the previously announced Australian tour for this September. This is due to serious health issues caused by a heart attack afflicting throat singer and multi-instrumentalist Anatoly Pakhalenko, which also caused the band to cancel its show at Prophecy Fest this year. Yet there is a silver lining on the horizon as the Siberian shamans are already in the planning stages to come to Down Under early next year. Please watch this space for further news.

Anatoly Pakhalenko commented: "Dear ones, my endless gratitude to you for your kind words, your warmth and wishes! I'm safe and already on the mend. I'm also slowly getting back to studio work, but on medical advice, I will have to refrain from any air travel for the time being. I hope that the fresh Siberian air and a healthy diet will help me recover as soon as possible, and we will see you soon!"

Nytt Land will, as soon as possible, resume touring in support of its ninth album, Songs Of The Shaman, released on 16 May by Prophecy Productions (for more info about the album, follow HEREs).
