Nordic folk duo Nytt Land have released a cover of Slipknot’s Wait And Bleed.
The husband-and-wife pair, Anatoly and Natalya Pakhalenko, put out their version of the nu metal classic yesterday (August 5), complete with a shamanic music video. Watch the clip below.
Nytt Land comment on the cover: “With great respect for [the] immortal Slipknot heritage, we created this cover version of their famous song Wait And Bleed in our own sound with traditional Siberian throat singing and musical instruments.
- “Some of the guys in the band are like, ‘**** that, we’ll never play it!’” Watch Slipknot play one of their deepest cuts for the first time ever in Melbourne on Friday night
- Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Bad Omens' Noah Sebastian have covered Kansas' Dust In The Wind and it's the most gorgeous song you'll hear all week
“Primal energy in its purest form is what this song symbolizes for us.”
Slipknot released Wait And Bleed in July 1999, as the lead single from their blockbuster self-titled debut album. The track reached number 34 on the US Mainstream Rock charts and number one on the UK Rock charts.
Wait And Bleed has gone on to become one of Slipknot’s most popular songs. According to setlist wiki setlist.fm, it has been played live 1,059 times at time of publication. The only song the band have performed more is fellow Slipknot cut Surfacing, 1,113 times.
Slipknot are touring to promote the 25th anniversary of their debut album in 2024. They’ll start the US leg tonight (August 6) in Noblesville, Indiana, then continue through North and Central America until November. The band will then play across Europe in December.

Nytt Land released their latest album Torem last year and are also touring this year. They’ll start a European trek at Midgardsblot festival in Norway on August 16/17, then continue across the continent until late September.
The duo say of their upcoming shows: “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!”
