Anatoly Pakhalenko, frontman with dark folk band Nytt Land has created From The Land, a new dark country/gothic rock project to serve as an alter ego for his creative exploration and experimentation within dark country and blues genres.
The band’s aesthetic is described as a “black and white world tired of all this s**t that’s going on around and gradually sinking into an endless sleep.” They are said to draw inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and David Lynch.
Debut single, ‘Psalm 2’, is out now now across all digital platforms here, accompanied by a music video.
The song ‘Psalm 2’ was composed byPakhalenko and Aleksandr Rosliakov, with lyrics taken from the Bible. It was recorded at Nytt Land Studiobetween January and May 2025, with Pakhalenko serving as recording and mixing engineer, and producer. The track also features a Mongolian traditional flute, the shoor, as a nod to Pakhalenko’s work with Nytt Land.
The band’s forthcoming debut album, Stolen Season Pt. I, is due 21st November via 7 Mater, distribution by The Circle Music and can be ordered here.
