For all their fans that have been missing Nytt Land at this year's Prophecy Fest or Down Under and elsewhere, as all touring had to be postponed due to a heart attack afflicting throat singer and multi-instrumentalist Anatoly Pakhalenko, the duo has prepared a sweet consolation treat, which everybody else is, of course, also invited to enjoy.
The band is premiering a new track, "Tygir Tayii (Heavenly Sacrifice)", accompanied by a stunningly beautiful video single showcasing images and nomadic monuments from the Siberian steppes.
Musically, the track connects more with the album Torem (2023) than Nytt Land's latest full-length, Songs Of The Shaman (2025). It is quite deliberate as they publish two kinds of music. One set of releases is connected to the band's Nordic folk roots. On those albums, they allow themselves the complete creative freedom to do anything they like musically. The other kind of album, to which Songs Of The Shaman belongs, aims to authentically preserve and reconstruct the ancient and still-living shamanic traditions of their home. These albums are, due to their intent and subject, necessarily stripped down and ritualistic. Their dedicated followers may therefore take "Tygir Tayii (Heavenly Sacrifice)" as a strong hint regarding the sound to come with the next album, which will mark Nytt Land's return to the Siberian dark folk vein.
Nytt Land's throat singer and multi-instrumentalist, Anatoly Pakhalenko, explains: "We should mention that 'Tygir Tayii' or 'The Song Of The Heavenly Sacrifice Rite', despite our more modern take on it, is one of the most ancient ritual songs of the steppe peoples of southern Siberia. In ancient times, tribal leaders sacrificed to the Great Sky to this song, but now it usually accompanies shamanic worship rituals. The music video was shot on the sacred Ust-Sos Mountain, on a cliff where the carvings, paintings, and writings of ancient Siberians have been preserved. It is one of the most important places of power in Siberia, where earth and nature breathe incredible energy. Our video also shows fragments of a real shamanic rite of ancestor worship, which was conducted by one of the most powerful and oldest shamans in Siberia". Link
