Background information about 'Aba Khan'

On their tenth full-length "Aba Khan", NYTT LAND pick up the stylistic thread that they had previously woven with "Ritual" (2021). 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 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 was created in August 2013 as a ritualistic Nordic folk band driven by the musical vision of the husband and wife duo Natalya and Anatoly Pakhalenko. The couple lives in the Western Siberian town Kalachinsk, located on the banks of River Om and crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway.

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. NYTT LAND dedicate "Aba Khan" to the ancient, beautiful, and great lands of Siberia. Join them on a journey through time and space where spirits rule, shamans protect the people, and old gods whisper. The eight tracks on this album take the listener on a transcendent voyage through frozen landscapes and ancient rituals, blending throat singing, traditional instruments, and atmospheric soundscapes into a cohesive and deeply moving experience that honors the spiritual heritage of Siberia while remaining accessible to modern audiences.
