The band's style has been compared to that of Wardruna and Danheim with added traditional throat singing{{Cite web|url=http://t-arts.com/nytt-land-odal/|title=Rezension: Nytt Land – Odal|last=Angenent|first=von Katja|date=2018-07-30|website=T-Arts|language=de-DE|access-date=2020-02-25}} 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',{{Cite web|url=https://mmhradio.co.uk/tinnitus-terror-and-tranquility-2/|title=Tinnitus, Terror and Tranquility #2|date=2017-07-14|website=MMH - The Home Of Rock Radio|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-02-25}} 'dark and mystical'{{Cite web|url=https://issuu.com/blutrachemagazine/docs/issue_14|title=Blutrache magazine Issue#14|last=|first=|date=|website=Issuu|page=55|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-25}} and as 'keeping history alive'.{{cn|date=February 2025}} 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.{{Cite web|url=http://coldspring.co.uk/discography/csr234cd/|title=Cold Spring Records|last=Records|first=Cold Spring|date=2012|website=Oðal, Cold Spring Records|language=UK|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-25}}
