Following their latest studio album, Torem (2023), Siberian Dark Folk duo Nytt Land has revealed a cover of Slipknot’s early classic “Wait and Bleed”. They are also gearing up for a big European tour.

They say:

With great respect for immortal Slipknot heritage, we created this cover version of their famous song “Wait And Bleed” in our own sound with traditional Siberian throatsinging and musical instruments. Primal energy in its purest form is what this song symbolizes for us.

And very soon, we are going on our big European tour to present our new Ritual in its full live sound. This is part of our life and we will share it with you. This time, for the first time, we will go on stage in Serbia, Greece, Romania, Spain and Austria, and of course we are very happy to return to France, Norway, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Belgium. Prepare for the Ritual!

The band’s shamanic couple, Natasha “Baba Yaga” and Anatoly Pakhalenko, invite listeners “into a mystic world of ancient percussive instrumentation and mesmerizing vocal spheres.” The album, which is sung in the languages Khanty (Siberian Native Tribe) and Old Norse (Old Icelandic), is a journey into the band’s “new trilogy, dedicated to the three worlds in the cosmology of their land.”
