7 Mater proudly presents: 

From the Land – Stolen Season Pt I 

The debut release from From The Land arrives as a revelation, a dark and spellbinding journey etched into vinyl with extraordinary care. Out now via 7 Mater, in collaboration with The Circle Music for worldwide distribution, this special edition of Stolen Season Pt. I captures both the essence of the project and the spirit of the upcoming full-length Stolen Season Pt. I.

This first pressing is destined to become a collector’s item: numbered and limited to 250 black vinyl copies and 250 gold vinyl copies, each edition comes housed in a deluxe sleeve with an exclusive 30×30 insert that perfectly frames the visual world of the band. It is a striking presentation that mirrors the richness of the music contained within. The creative force behind From The Land is Anatoly Pakhalenko, best known as the frontman of the acclaimed dark folk ensemble Nytt Land.

Conceived in 2025, this new project serves as an alter ego for Pakhalenko, allowing him to explore the darker edges of country, blues, and folk traditions while weaving them into a world described as “a black and white landscape, tired of all this s**t that’s going on around and gradually sinking into an endless sleep”. Together with Aleksandr Rosliakov, Pakhalenko composed Stolen Season Pt. I between January and May 2025 at Nytt Land Studio, handling recording, mixing, and production duties himself.

The result is an album that resonates with uncompromising artistic vision and raw emotional depth. From The Land’s universe draws inspiration from the haunting literary realms of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as the surreal, unsettling imagery of David Lynch. This heady mixture of influences creates a soundscape that is equally cinematic and visceral, where ritual meets ruin, and folk traditions dissolve into the smoke of blues and country noir.

With this vinyl release, From The Land makes an unforgettable first impression – an offering that feels both timeless and entirely of this moment. It is music to contemplate, to surrender to, and to collect as a piece of living art. For those who cherish the intersection of dark folk, country noir, and esoteric soundscapes, Would You Know is not just a debut, it is the beginning of a journey that demands attention. The spell has been cast, and the season has begun.

____________________________________

“Stolen Season Pt.I” is the debut album by the dark country/gothic rock band From The Land. The album is about the black-and-white world and its shades, expressed in the raw sound of guitars and the lyrics of biblical psalms.

The music of the swamps is woven from thick mists, sounding like a four-stroke engine somewhere at the crossroads between the world of the living and the realm of eternal shadows.

Songs of shamans of tribes that have passed into oblivion.

Forgotten spells from the depths… from the land…

(From the Land)
