Hardline Media are proud present a dual headline tour, from the Cold Dark Depths of Norway and Siberia featuring **MORTIIS **and **NYTT LAND**, with special guest **TiR** from Turkey, performing their **SOUTHERN RITUAL** from next week across Australia.

**MORTIIS** needs no introduction to the Metal world, famous for being the bass player in early **EMPEROR**, Mortiis has since carved a long and respected career in the Dark Dungeon Synth world for the last 3 + decades. Mortiis has performed in Australia before as a solo one man show, but this time Australia will be treated to something very special... he will be bringing his band with him for the very first time, performing songs from "The Smell Of Rain" album and other volumes of Dystopian Despair. This is a first and not to be missed.

As joint headline and for their first time in Australia, Hardline prouldy present NYTT LAND from Siberia. A phenomenal aural and visual experience.

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. 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. See them for the first time in Australia, performing the "Aba Kahn" album and "Siberian Era" started on "Ritual".

As National support, Hardline welcome **TiR**. Originally hailing from Turkey, TiR are a Dungeon Synth Folk project helmed by multi-instrumentalist and composer Oytun Bektas. For over a decade, TiR has carved a distinct artistic path where ancient melancholy and pastoral introspection merge into a cinematic soundscape that bridges the past and the universal.  
This triple bill is surely not to be missed, for all fans of Dark, Ambient, Pagan Folk music, even Black Metal and all fans of quality music, come and witness the aural and visual magnificence of MORTIIS + NYTT LAND + TiR. You will not be disappointed, so get your tickets early as they are expected to go fast!

DO NOT MISS THESE SHOWS!
