Hardline Media are proud to present, from the Cold Dark Depths of the Russian forests, ARKONA, with special guests from the vast lands of Siberia, NYTT LAND, performing their SOUTHERN RITUAL in late September across Australia.For the first time, Russian Pagan Folk legends ARKONA, will perform in Australia. After a near quarter of a century career, the band continue to go from strength to strength, with the new album "Kob", out now via Napalm Records, a true listening feast for any fan of the ancient arts. Their lyrics are heavily influenced by Russian folklore and Slavic mythology, and their music incorporates several traditional Russian musical instruments. The name of the band "Arkona" refers to the last Pre-Christianized Slavic city-castle.
Check out ARKONA - "Kob":
And as national special guest, a true aural and visual experience, from Siberia, NYTT LAND.
The band's style has been compared to that of Wardruna and Danheim with added traditional throat singing and handmade traditional instruments such as the Kantele and the Talharpa.The band have stated they are inspired by the sounds of Siberian nature, and their records have included live recordings of raven calls and other forest sounds. Their music has been variously described by reviewers as 'truly authentic feeling', 'dark and mystical' and as 'keeping history alive'. Thematically, their work echoes many stories from Norse mythology and historic texts such as the Poetic Edda. In keeping with this tradition, much of Nytt Land's lyrics are composed and sung in the Old Norse language.
