Perspective
Nytt Land formed in 2013, and released four albums independently[1] before joining UK-based label Cold Spring Records for their 2017 release Fimbulvinter. Their subsequent album, 2018's Oðal, was also released on the label.[4] They have supported Wardruna on their Russian concerts in 2016 and 2017,[5] and have played at Viking, folk and metal festivals across Europe – including their debut UK show at York Barbican, as part of the York Viking Centre's Jorvik Viking Festival 2018.[6] As of February 2019, Nytt Land's YouTube channel had accumulated a total 140,000 video views.[7]
In August 2021, the band released their third album - Ritual - through Napalm Records. Reviewers called the album "striking, elegant and haunting"[8] and a "transportive hallucination, wafting across the tundra".[9] The band debuted the album with a livestreamed performance on the Napalm Records YouTube channel.[10]
The band's style has been compared to that of Wardruna and Danheim[1] with added traditional throat singing[11] and handmade traditional instruments such as the Kantele and the Talharpa.[2] The band have stated they are inspired by the sounds of Siberian nature,[1] and their records have included live recordings of raven calls and other forest sounds.[2] Their music has been variously described by reviewers as 'truly authentic feeling',[12] and 'dark and mystical'.[13] Thematically, their work echoes many stories from Norse mythology and historic texts such as the Poetic Edda.[2] In keeping with this tradition, much of Nytt Land's lyrics are composed and sung in the Old Norse language.[14]
