My car broke down the day before I was supposed to see them live, so I bought a train ticket and traveled 6 hours across Texas to see them. The line for the venue was winding blocks down the street, people would pull over in cars and yell "what's going on!?" Because mostly everyone was dressed up for a viking invasion. Still one of my greatest memories. 😂
This... When I tell people about them, I usually try to explain her to them with "imagine a goddess of the winds..... now... imagine that goddess using the calming but powerful and sometimes shrieking sound of the winds, to sing" And I in general refer to her as a goddess of wind (which I guess has double meaning, having to use "wind" for her vocal cords)... She's incredible!!! It's all increadible... but she's something extra special

Their live performances are always amazing and I personally prefer a lot of live versions over the studio versions, it has more life if that makes sense.
@@Ultrathrust No it was the Apollo theatre in Hammersmith London January 14th 2023 says in the description they're just exceptional performers and nail it every damn time! 😍
Yes we all know Maria’s voice is amazing, but for the first time I really noticed this divine beauty is Christopher’s voice too as he was harmonizing. Almost like a Gregorian chant. One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard. And yes we need this on Spotify
My cat jumped in my lap when I started playing the video and just watched the screen for the whole song. I don't know if the lights caught his attention or the sound, damn, maybe both. Don't ask me why I felt I had to share this anecdote.
Spent a nice evening with Heilung's videos. Never seen cats react to music this way. Ours were clearly disturbed/uneasy. Listened and watched attentively and were jumpy at the same time. 😅
I was there. It was one of the best experience I eve had. People from all walks of life went and saw them, guys in business suits, metalheads with long beards, vikings, wiccans, families with their children. It was just an exhilarating moment.
Wait, I’m laughing so hard but also curious was there really a Roman Soldier there? Was he holding a golden standard? Was his name Marius or maybe Varus? I have so many questions 🤣 😂 😂 🤣
Heilung is rare example that live concert versions can be way better than clear, record in studio, with mastering etc editions. Heilung live is my default way to listen.
@@rockapartie Depends....some "artists" when they "play" live it's cringy as hell (high production, and autotune will make a good album, but won't save you live). Other times, for whatever reason (strung out, not taking care of themselves etc) the live performance is just shit. Some (most) of the last 10 years of Manson live performances have been garbage. Same with Fear Factory, In both cases due to years of abuse and damage on the vocals, by the second song, it was just trash.
There's a primal feeling to their live recordings that just isn't replicable in a studio recording. I agree, live version of Heilung is best version. They also put forth such an amazing visual dpectacle that you almost need to see the performance to get the full enjoyment from it.
Im not usually one for hyperbolic comments online, but this might be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Strong contender for my funeral music songs.
I just had the pleasure of going to their ritual in Austin. Their music transcends language and time and, when you listen to Heilung, you can feel something ancient and primal waking up in your soul. Something long suppressed. Going to their ritual, however, will release that out of you. You feel it in your blood, your heart, your soul, and your bones. Heilung means healing and now I can feel why they chose that name. Thank you for such a beautiful experience, Heilung.
I am amazed how Heilung manages to get the live music sound better than studio, because their studio sounds truly amazing! I love how Maria raises the tone of her singing in the last part of the song, compared to the studio version. She truly has the voice of an angel! 🖤
Not a sound engineer, but apparently for Lifa 2 they recorded the input channels in addition to the hall audio, so if the audio is degraded or people are yelling over the music, they can fix it with the actual sound from the instruments. They talked about this after the 2021 Red Rocks ritual, which they wanted to record for a new Lifa but the speakers died halfway in, and said they theoretically had all they needed to do it anyway.
@@nidungr3496 It has been a long time since I've written music (hobbyist), but the effect to buff up the sound can be simulated with what is called a Convolution Reverb VSTi. These plugins can take a spacial recording and bring it into a studio mix whenever you want to use it. The best one I've used is called SIR2 as it has some amazing recorded spaces already built into the VSTi itself.
@@nidungr3496yeah this. Each instrument is recorded separately and fed into a DAW, this was technically recorded live but they would still have technicians mixing and mastering the track in post production
I haven't ever really cared about going to concerts despite my love for music, but there's no other live performance I'd rather seen than Heilung. Their music truly is healing. I listen to them exclusively whenever I draw, and between their masterpieces and the drawing, I go to another place, and it's so peaceful there.
I'm the same way. I don't really like crowds, just kind of a homebody. But I went and saw them live (a super rare occurrence for me) and it was soo worth it. It was like stumbling across some sacred ceremony. Just really really moving.
Go to one of the rituals, you won't regret it, I've seen them on their first US tour and again this past week, nothing like it in this world, it is amazing
@@Xiriusa Not really a fan of it being called a ritual -- but technically I suppose that _is_ what it is . . No rule saying I cannot experience the show spiritually and have their talent and spiritual power grow my love of my own God and this incredible universe we find ourselves in together right ? Doesn't mean I have to slay a wolf , skin it , wear its head on my head while naked and go full berserker-mode or anything hehe .
@@SabbaticusRex I mean, it's music. Music is a language everyone understands. No matter what religion, race, ethnicity or anything like that. Enjoy music, my friend :).
Probably because you also have a certain let's say light-ish hue and our culture has been buried for a long time. I had the same feeling and almost teared up.
Because here in America we suppress our Northmen culture. Heilung speaks directly to our ancestors through us. We need to bring back our heritage so we can celebrate it just like all the other cultures. We can coexist and all races and cultures should be celebrated and respected.
I've heard the studio version of this song so many times, but this... THIS... it's otherworldly. When Maria went an octave higher at the end there, it was like I felt my soul was flying, high above the mountains. Thank the gods for Heilung. I really wish I could have gone to see them in Greensboro a couple months ago!
I didn't go last year and kicked myself in the ass for not going...when I saw they were coming BACK, I bought tickets to Greensboro so fast I didn't even think lol
I love this live version, it has so much life to it. It brings me to tears especially at the crescendo nearing the end of the song. I don't think any music has moved me as much as Heilung. After listening to them high in a trance state, their music hits on a different level than just a casual listen.
Set lifa to play on 65inch and 11 speakers at home during a dmt trip. Found myself on stage with them. Best experience I've had while heilung spiritually
I'm absolutely mesmerised by Maria's voice... How she can sound calm and reverb, and in moments release some "distortion" and became voice of pure nature... And the style of course... Feels like Freya herself graced our world with her presence)
I have no word to describe the experience of listening to this performance. I am not a emotional person but Oh God, I cried listening to this. The music, Maria’s voice, the ambiance, the interpretation, the intensity, this song makes me feel alive. Thank you Heilung.
No matter how hardened my heart becomes to the cruelty and unfairness of life... Heilung still brings tears to my eyes. Words cannot describe. Only hope i can go to one of these rituals before i leave this mortal coil.
I understand, I haven't been able to access Earth's spirituality for a few months, precisely because of the problems I've been going through. It really messes up our emotional field and consequently we have more difficulty connecting with good things. It's good that we have great musicians and ritualists who help us get into deeper contact with the great spirits who care for us.
My only regret this year is not being able to go see them live. At least here i get to see a live performance of my favorite song. Thank you, Heilung, for your healing and incredible talent.
The Hammersmith "Apollo." I'm pretty sure that this is the theatre that people of a certain age knew as the Hammersmith Odeon. Also, back in them days, playing the Hammersmith Odeon was a sign that a band had made it. Good to see Heilung playing there.
this version has me in awe. the bass is so much more intense; the supporting voices so much clearer. i love seeing maria and christopher playing the instruments; the lights spinning in circles. the entire experience is so much more powerful than the studio version & i truly adore it. i cannot wait for the rest of lifa llyn dain! 🖤
Those two dudes on the bigger drums are god damn BEASTS!! For almost 2 hours they are just destroying! Especially the one guy, he goes HAM! The backup vocalists need some love, too. I really really miss this. I want to be back in that 2 hour window of time.
CANNOT actually believe the female vocalists are actually this good live!!!! Like, its very very very rare that an artist is bang on how she sings on the album when singing live. They're amazing. (Edit: realised more than 1 here)
@@Wathon1884do what ever it takes!!! It changes your life. It's been a little over a year for me, but that night is burned in my brain. I'm still riding that high.
Bei allen Göttern, Respekt!!! Die Welt braucht diese Heilung und der Schlüssel von allem liegt in der Sprache, schön das ihr das versteht und ich danke euch für diese Klänge. Das Wort verlieh mir das Wort und das Werk verlieh mir das Werk ……😎 Großartig,mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen! Grüße und ein donnerndes Heil aus dem Ebertal
I love the studio version. It brought me to tears the first time I listened, and several times after. I didn't expect a live performance to have the same effect, perhaps more so! I'm trying not to cry on my lunch break. If this doesn't become one of Heilung's best-known and loved songs, I'll be shocked.
Likewise. I don't know what it is, but around 3:35 I just get this swelling build of emotion. Maybe just the build up of the song. I don't know but it gets me every time.
From what I've heard from my American friends, they're doing the same set they did when this was recorded. So you'll get what you're hoping for, more or less.
I was at the Denver performance. I don't know where else to be able to tell them this so here I am. You guys saved my life. I was in such a deep dark place before I found you, hospitalized for safety for myself, just the worst depression of my life. I legitimately owe you my life. After I got out of the hospital I found out you were playing nearby and I did everything I could to see you. It was my very first "spirit journey", and I will never ever forget it. Seeing you live was the most wonderful experience of my life. I experienced true calm and happiness for the first time in as long as I can remember. Your music makes me feel something magical in a world that feels like all the magic has been sucked out of it. If it's the last thing I do, I will meet you guys and thank you in person.
I concur with this! Prior to discovering Heilung I was going through outpatient rehab for prescription pain pills and I know it may sound cliche but once I listened to them it helped with the healing and not only that but it brought me connection to my ancestors and allowed me to learn about myself. I can successfully say ever since discovering Heilung I haven’t had any relapses and 110% sober.
It's like on a movie that I heard once...... depression is a futher mucker... It's as if you feel like your not worth the oxygen your sucking down. 1. You get used to it. 2. Then you start to believe it. 3. Then you love it. 4. Ultimately, you can't stand to live without it. It's like that bottle, you reach for over and over. It's your only companion left. Heilung came at a time when I was at level 4, like so many of us. With their rituals, They can help bottle all that up and throw it aside as you continue your journey/path. Hope this helps whoever comes across this thread. You are not alone. D. Frostproof,FL. U.S.
Well Heather hall, out of thousands of beliefs over many thousand years, there's only one that must be right? Frith(peace) is a powerful tool for dialogue between the many cultures. You should try it one time....... Besides, your on a non-christian thread. The beauty of this ritual calling to you hmmmmm?
There are these 3 times in a year I come back to listen to Heilung and everytime I burst in tears. Normally I never cry, not even under the highest emotional stress. This music feels like its cleaning my inside from all hate and pain I just can't get out of myself otherwise. Danke für diese ganz besondere Kunst 🖤
maria has such a wide range to her voice. i honestly believe if she wanted to she could break glass with her ability to reach that high pitch. i have been watching this band almost from their beginnings and they never stop impressing me. one of the most remarkable bands to come along in decades. i am now 72 and i cannot get enough of heilung. THANK YOU HEILUNG FOR YOUR UNIQUE SOUND AND TALENTS. 👁 🌙 🎶 🎼
@@mrreasonable7461 their sound is so modern yet so primal, it just seems to awaken something deep down inside alot of us, something missing perhaps? a yearning for the simplicities of centuries past? i dont know. Just very well written music or as they say: Amplified History
Early 2016 for me. I had just lost a great job and was looking for angry music on RUclips and found Alfadirhaiti. In hindsight I'm pretty sure I came out ahead. ❤
One singer pushing her range on both ends and the other camouflaging breathing like a master, this feels like one of the toughest live performances! And it turned out flawless.
When I was growing up, I never thought that in modern times I would get to hear our ancient singing methods and expressions such as kulning - Now, among others, Heilung and Jonna Jinton have made it world famous.
I really want to see them live! I’m from NYC if they came to NYS they would change more lives than ever! This music hits you at your roots of your family tree! They are unbelievable! They’re all too talented, every member in the tribe has a part to play and I love it!! Heals the soul.
I am a metal fan - but Heilung is my absolute favourite! What they do nobody can reach... After each ritual I feel new energy, love, clearance and - yes - HEALING. ❤
I was at your concert in Moscow in 2019. And now, when my friends from Russia and Ukraine are forced to fight against each other, your songs are one of those things that support and give hope that someday everything will get better 😔🖤
Just a couple years ago, I walked into my local JB store (they sell music, movies etc) picked up a couple movies and went to the check out. The guy behind the counter pointed at my shirt, smiled & said it's a shame they'll never come to Australia... About a year later... Heilung confirmed they'll be comming Down Under!! I really do say this seriously, I really think it was the best live show I've ever been too!! (over the past 20 years of going to live shows from classic pop to black metal & everything in between)
This was the first time I had seen this song performed live and as always they never disappoint..I thank everybody in the band for creating and sharing this with us and a happy Halloween
I will never forget this performance. It was an electric, moving atmosphere. I am so glad I get to have this to remember it by. It felt like a ‘you had to be there’ performance.
Just wanted to say I loved your action film analyses. Also, this Heilung show was mesmerising. Saw them again at ATG festival and they were too draw again
I was never really a spiritual person untill I saw Heilung live for the first time at one of their first shows ever at Castlefest. It was stunning, bordering on eerie, how they were able to capture the audience in their trance and make them chant or fall silent at their will. I still don't know what if I am a very spirutual person, I'm not religious, I don't believe in reincarnation or chakra's or miracles. But I do believe in the power of this band and of this music. It is a language that speaks to a buried part of ourselves, a part that especially in modern times is screaming for attention. So sit, listen, and allow what comes up to excist. You'll won't regret it.
I'll listen to this while earthing under my favorite grandfather oak. Maria's voice just feels right. Heilung and their rituals brings a peace that humanity's languages just simply can't truly describe. Hauntingly beautiful. D. Frostproof, FL. U.S.
This is what I love about Heilung...their music is such an experience...on such a primal level. It connects you to everything and you FEEL the world. It truly is magical and what human beings nowadays need. We need to unplug and get back to CONNECTION.
To be fairrrRrr .... hehe .... I only know about Heilung because of my internet connection and evil old RUclips . But I totally get what you are saying ; we need more analog / naturally talented artists such as Heilung who are brave and good enough to try new things that don't fit into the same old trite boxes . Folks act as if everyone has been done before and nothing new is possible but humans have been proclaiming that since when Mammoths stomped around the Earth . The spirit of the cosmos is constantly whispering beauty in the form of new ideas and all we have to do is listen carefully with the right sort of ears . This wasn't written by eight fourty year old men in a conference room and we can tell -- we can feel the difference and respond positively to it .
It’s Organic, and I agree, it brings us back to our ancestors and a truth about all creation… we are all connected and are better for acknowledging and accepting that we are linked to the Earth of living, and not to disconnect or separate ourselves from that pulse.
This song is powerful. It feels like something ancient and essential, lost irrevocably. Like a semi-faded memory of which you can only recall the feeling, never the detail. Very much hope to see Heilung live one day.
I always listen to this song whenever I have trouble sleeping. It helps calm me down and makes me feel like there are things in this world that are bigger than me. It's truly healing
Tears of joy! You have excelled consistently in music presentation! You all put in as much passion into how you present the music as you put into the creation of these songs. My life changed after finding you. Thank you for yet another combined visual and audio feast!
When I first saw a video with Heilung and soon after an interview with Maria, I thought she seemed familiar to me. I found through friends that i did meet her at a larp in the 90ies. I will not claim I know her, but I have talked to her. 30 years ago. Weird feeling. And so happy for her and her "tribes" success.
Happy to know that young generation has hope! 💕 My son who will the 3 in December will randomly sing his version of anoana, and my daughter who will be 5 in a few weeks always asks to watch the video where they dance around the fire. I always say absolutely!
@@baplotnik thank you! I never push what I like on my kids. I want them to discover all styles and all life has to offer. But hearing my almost 3 year old son sing his version of anoana makes me a proud mama. And when my daughter asks to watch the video with people dancing around the fire I will never tell her no ☺️
I dont even know why, but i always have to shed a few tears when listening to Heilung. Sometimes i imagine, its these last few remains of ancestral blood remembering what first the romans and then christianity took from us.
We remember, I don't even have to close my eyes anymore, I hear the past calling to be heard. Even though they hid the truths and murdered us over and over we come again. A cry for life. Drumming in our hearts and echoing from our mouths.
Hey h, it's not gone, just dormant. I hear this and being only second gen American, it speaks to my heart, my Latina wife and her family, well it scares the Bejeebus out of them, the same as the rest of my Latin friends. Oh yeah, I get the same feeling from Rammstein, I am 66yr old, born in the US but my heart is still in the Teutoburg Forest pre Rome.
...tears of joy. The evolution and refinement of this song makes so much sense. The drums are spot on and are pounding on my higher sacred heart. Can't wait for their next evolution.
It's like I'm there again, back during their Seattle tour. A full body experience and an unforgettable environment. It's a memory I treasure. Thank you for your art
The drum at 3:31 rattled to the innermost part of my being. Primal and transcendent at the same time. I cannot wait to see them in Berlin in couple of months.
I was lucky enough to see Heilung here in Clearwater, Florida on Oct 23,2023. It was one of the most amazing,spiritual experiences of my life. You could feel the music beating inside like a 2nd heartbeat. I knew it would be an amazing experience, but I had no idea it would be like that. They were performing 15 min from my house. I felt so lucky to be one of the people to see them live❤
Turn the volume to max, close your eyes and embrace the calling of your ancestors. My danish heritage fills me with pride when listening to this kind of music. Thankyou Heilung
This is one of my absolute favorites from Heilung! I throw it on repeat in my car at max volume and drive down scenic back roads and just feel the music move through me😅
Makes me feel connected to the earth, the woods, animals . . . somehow to everything. Pure, primary energy! Thank you, Heilung, for this experience! Your sound is really healing! 💚💚💚
Had no idea Heilung was releasing a new Live album! Can't wait to listen if this is the kind of quality to expect. Shout out too to all those who saw them in Greensboro earlier this October; was an amazing time. :)
The worst part about this song is that it ends.
There is a repeat option little brother
lol i think it never ends!! it still playing in my head over and over again!
This is life
Exactly❤

Gave me goosebumps lots of times

To the person whistling in the crowd at the beginning- you are now part of the song for me, like a bird calling at the start!
Seeing Heilung live was the closest thing to a religious I've ever had. I was in a giddy daze the rest of the night.
I missed out at red rocks but I'm finally going to see them live the 5th. I'm super excited!!
Yeah I had a few out of body experiences during the show myself. Sober.
I got to see them in Portland right before covid hit. There is no other experience like it.

They talked about this after the 2021 Red Rocks ritual, which they wanted to record for a new Lifa but the speakers died halfway in, and said they theoretically had all they needed to do it anyway.
@@nidungr3496 It has been a long time since I've written music (hobbyist), but the effect to buff up the sound can be simulated with what is called a Convolution Reverb VSTi. These plugins can take a spacial recording and bring it into a studio mix whenever you want to use it. The best one I've used is called SIR2 as it has some amazing recorded spaces already built into the VSTi itself.
@@nidungr3496 Did Chris talk about this already?
Annike Shireen's voice puts this over the top.
@@nidungr3496yeah this. Each instrument is recorded separately and fed into a DAW, this was technically recorded live but they would still have technicians mixing and mastering the track in post production
This song loves you, heals you, cleanses you and forgives you of everything. It takes you home.
I haven't ever really cared about going to concerts despite my love for music, but there's no other live performance I'd rather seen than Heilung. Their music truly is healing. I listen to them exclusively whenever I draw, and between their masterpieces and the drawing, I go to another place, and it's so peaceful there.
I'm the same way. I don't really like crowds, just kind of a homebody. But I went and saw them live (a super rare occurrence for me) and it was soo worth it. It was like stumbling across some sacred ceremony. Just really really moving.
Go to one of the rituals, you won't regret it, I've seen them on their first US tour and again this past week, nothing like it in this world, it is amazing
@@Xiriusa Not really a fan of it being called a ritual -- but technically I suppose that _is_ what it is . . No rule saying I cannot experience the show spiritually and have their talent and spiritual power grow my love of my own God and this incredible universe we find ourselves in together right ? Doesn't mean I have to slay a wolf , skin it , wear its head on my head while naked and go full berserker-mode or anything hehe .
@@SabbaticusRex I mean, it's music. Music is a language everyone understands. No matter what religion, race, ethnicity or anything like that. Enjoy music, my friend :).
I also don't want to go to concerts tbh. Totally uninterested. The one exception is these guys, what I would give to see them live!
I will be seeing Heilung live tonight in New Orleans.
Let us know how it went!
I'm going too! I can't wait bro
Just saw them in Huntsville the other night. Ya'll are in for a treat!
@@Crunchy166 will do
Lucky. Have fun!
Why do i have the feeling i found something i didn't know i lost since i found heilung?
Welcome Home!
*ancestors approval* 😉
Yes!
Probably because you also have a certain let's say light-ish hue and our culture has been buried for a long time. I had the same feeling and almost teared up.
Because here in America we suppress our Northmen culture. Heilung speaks directly to our ancestors through us.
We need to bring back our heritage so we can celebrate it just like all the other cultures. We can coexist and all races and cultures should be celebrated and respected.
I've heard the studio version of this song so many times, but this... THIS... it's otherworldly. When Maria went an octave higher at the end there, it was like I felt my soul was flying, high above the mountains. Thank the gods for Heilung. I really wish I could have gone to see them in Greensboro a couple months ago!
It's almost like both are the same song, though different entities. Both MASTERPIECES!
I didn't go last year and kicked myself in the ass for not going...when I saw they were coming BACK, I bought tickets to Greensboro so fast I didn't even think lol
I love this live version, it has so much life to it. It brings me to tears especially at the crescendo nearing the end of the song. I don't think any music has moved me as much as Heilung. After listening to them high in a trance state, their music hits on a different level than just a casual listen.
Set lifa to play on 65inch and 11 speakers at home during a dmt trip. Found myself on stage with them. Best experience I've had while heilung spiritually
I'm absolutely mesmerised by Maria's voice... How she can sound calm and reverb, and in moments release some "distortion" and became voice of pure nature... And the style of course... Feels like Freya herself graced our world with her presence)
Well said!
She brings tears to my eyes. It’s definitely something to experience in person at least.
Yes exactly Maria Franz is Freyja in the flesh.
I have no word to describe the experience of listening to this performance. I am not a emotional person but Oh God, I cried listening to this. The music, Maria’s voice, the ambiance, the interpretation, the intensity, this song makes me feel alive.
Thank you Heilung.
No matter how hardened my heart becomes to the cruelty and unfairness of life... Heilung still brings tears to my eyes. Words cannot describe. Only hope i can go to one of these rituals before i leave this mortal coil.
It will truly change you forever
I understand, I haven't been able to access Earth's spirituality for a few months, precisely because of the problems I've been going through. It really messes up our emotional field and consequently we have more difficulty connecting with good things. It's good that we have great musicians and ritualists who help us get into deeper contact with the great spirits who care for us.
you really should see them live. They are pricey but worth more than the money you spent. i promise!!
My only regret this year is not being able to go see them live. At least here i get to see a live performance of my favorite song. Thank you, Heilung, for your healing and incredible talent.
The Hammersmith "Apollo."
I'm pretty sure that this is the theatre that people of a certain age knew as the Hammersmith Odeon. Also, back in them days, playing the Hammersmith Odeon was a sign that a band had made it. Good to see Heilung playing there.
was there has well
Yes, that's exactly the one - went to my first ever gig there when I was sixteen to see Motorhead...1981 I think
Weird that you say this as they were originally booked elsewhere in London but unfortunately there was an incident and they had to change.
Same stage Kate Bush did most of her live performances on.
The Hammy O indeed.
this version has me in awe. the bass is so much more intense; the supporting voices so much clearer. i love seeing maria and christopher playing the instruments; the lights spinning in circles. the entire experience is so much more powerful than the studio version & i truly adore it. i cannot wait for the rest of lifa llyn dain! 🖤
This is what we need ... a long time ago, roots were we all recognize and most important... accept
Those two dudes on the bigger drums are god damn BEASTS!! For almost 2 hours they are just destroying! Especially the one guy, he goes HAM!
The backup vocalists need some love, too. I really really miss this. I want to be back in that 2 hour window of time.
You can tell they really love and feel what they do. Thank you.
CANNOT actually believe the female vocalists are actually this good live!!!! Like, its very very very rare that an artist is bang on how she sings on the album when singing live. They're amazing. (Edit: realised more than 1 here)
I know, right? Heilung is one of the few bands that actually sound better live than in their albums. Wish I could see them some day!
that's pretty common in the rock/metal genre
Apparently its 20 years of practice
@@Wathon1884do what ever it takes!!! It changes your life. It's been a little over a year for me, but that night is burned in my brain. I'm still riding that high.
thats maria franz vocalist from euzen, she was a vocal teacher, very talented !!
Bei allen Göttern, Respekt!!! Die Welt braucht diese Heilung und der Schlüssel von allem liegt in der Sprache, schön das ihr das versteht und ich danke euch für diese Klänge. Das Wort verlieh mir das Wort und das Werk verlieh mir das Werk ……😎 Großartig,mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen! Grüße und ein donnerndes Heil aus dem Ebertal
I love the studio version. It brought me to tears the first time I listened, and several times after. I didn't expect a live performance to have the same effect, perhaps more so! I'm trying not to cry on my lunch break. If this doesn't become one of Heilung's best-known and loved songs, I'll be shocked.
Oh I love you.....remember " we are all brothers", I attended a ceremony in January this year, changed my life. 😊
Likewise. I don't know what it is, but around 3:35 I just get this swelling build of emotion. Maybe just the build up of the song. I don't know but it gets me every time.
Saw this in Greensboro last week. I've been hoping they would professionally record a set from this tour.
I was there too ❤
From what I've heard from my American friends, they're doing the same set they did when this was recorded. So you'll get what you're hoping for, more or less.
THEY WERE HERE IN GREENSBORO!?!
*F U C K*
I was there as well....I was left speechless...simply amazing.
I was there too! Great show!
I was at the Denver performance. I don't know where else to be able to tell them this so here I am. You guys saved my life. I was in such a deep dark place before I found you, hospitalized for safety for myself, just the worst depression of my life. I legitimately owe you my life. After I got out of the hospital I found out you were playing nearby and I did everything I could to see you. It was my very first "spirit journey", and I will never ever forget it. Seeing you live was the most wonderful experience of my life. I experienced true calm and happiness for the first time in as long as I can remember. Your music makes me feel something magical in a world that feels like all the magic has been sucked out of it. If it's the last thing I do, I will meet you guys and thank you in person.
I concur with this! Prior to discovering Heilung I was going through outpatient rehab for prescription pain pills and I know it may sound cliche but once I listened to them it helped with the healing and not only that but it brought me connection to my ancestors and allowed me to learn about myself. I can successfully say ever since discovering Heilung I haven’t had any relapses and 110% sober.
It's like on a movie that I heard once...... depression is a futher mucker...
It's as if you feel like your not worth the oxygen your sucking down.
1. You get used to it.
2. Then you start to believe it.
3. Then you love it.
4. Ultimately, you can't stand to live without it.
It's like that bottle, you reach for over and over. It's your only companion left.
Heilung came at a time when I was at level 4, like so many of us.
With their rituals, They can help bottle all that up and throw it aside as you continue your journey/path.
Hope this helps whoever comes across this thread. You are not alone.

Well Heather hall, out of thousands of beliefs over many thousand years, there's only one that must be right?
Frith(peace) is a powerful tool for dialogue between the many cultures.
You should try it one time.......
Besides, your on a non-christian thread.
The beauty of this ritual calling to you hmmmmm?
There are these 3 times in a year I come back to listen to Heilung and everytime I burst in tears. Normally I never cry, not even under the highest emotional stress. This music feels like its cleaning my inside from all hate and pain I just can't get out of myself otherwise. Danke für diese ganz besondere Kunst 🖤
maria has such a wide range to her voice. i honestly believe if she wanted to she could break glass with her ability to reach that high pitch. i have been watching this band almost from their beginnings and they never stop impressing me. one of the most remarkable bands to come along in decades. i am now 72 and i cannot get enough of heilung. THANK YOU HEILUNG FOR YOUR UNIQUE SOUND AND TALENTS. 👁 🌙 🎶 🎼
Tears streaming down my face. This band blew me away back in 2015 and still do. What a trio of artistic brilliance. Thank you Heilung
Dont know why but same here.
@@mrreasonable7461 their sound is so modern yet so primal, it just seems to awaken something deep down inside alot of us, something missing perhaps? a yearning for the simplicities of centuries past? i dont know. Just very well written music or as they say: Amplified History
@@OzLeedsCrew It feels like home, bro
such a primitive and raw experience
Early 2016 for me. I had just lost a great job and was looking for angry music on RUclips and found Alfadirhaiti. In hindsight I'm pretty sure I came out ahead. ❤
These guys need to do a gig at Stonehenge. Weird shit would happen
That could be cool
I'd give up everything I have for tickets if that happens, don't play fam! 😂😂😂
That sound is just incredible. So much more depth than in the studio recording which I already adore but this is simply incredible.
Same same. A gift to humankind. I want this for my funeral 💚🫎
One singer pushing her range on both ends and the other camouflaging breathing like a master, this feels like one of the toughest live performances! And it turned out flawless.
I thought I was the only one who caught that. 🎼it’s other worldly. The only way I can describe this band and the singers were all great.
I can feel this primal energy through screen. Can't imagine how wonderfull it feels live.
Theater type of sound. It engulfs the room. You feel every beat no matter the seat location. It's everything you want it to be and more.
Got to see it live this past week, this one had my jaw dropped on the floor going wow, felt like we were in a deep forest with the lighting effects
When I was growing up, I never thought that in modern times I would get to hear our ancient singing methods and expressions such as kulning - Now, among others, Heilung and Jonna Jinton have made it world famous.
I really want to see them live! I’m from NYC if they came to NYS they would change more lives than ever! This music hits you at your roots of your family tree! They are unbelievable! They’re all too talented, every member in the tribe has a part to play and I love it!! Heals the soul.
I am a metal fan - but Heilung is my absolute favourite! What they do nobody can reach... After each ritual I feel new energy, love, clearance and - yes - HEALING. ❤
well this to me is like ancestral metal so that's alright hahahha
@@SalenVendeta YES! Ancestral metal, that's the good thing right there
Well said
Same ❤
I was at your concert in Moscow in 2019. And now, when my friends from Russia and Ukraine are forced to fight against each other, your songs are one of those things that support and give hope that someday everything will get better 😔🖤
I’ve listen to this 20 times in a row so far.
Every time this ends, my 2yo son goes "more?"
Just a couple years ago, I walked into my local JB store (they sell music, movies etc) picked up a couple movies and went to the check out. The guy behind the counter pointed at my shirt, smiled & said it's a shame they'll never come to Australia...
About a year later... Heilung confirmed they'll be comming Down Under!!
I really do say this seriously, I really think it was the best live show I've ever been too!!
(over the past 20 years of going to live shows from classic pop to black metal & everything in between)
I was emotional throughout the song, but The second she raised her voice an octave I immediately lost it and started crying
I was part of the Ritual in Manchester, there was a chap who joined in during the war chant, and it was incredible!!!!
This song always moves me to tears…..the way connection is made through music is something words cannot describe.
Goddamn I have tears in my eyes
This was the first time I had seen this song performed live and as always they never disappoint..I thank everybody in the band for creating and sharing this with us and a happy Halloween
Wow, I didn't think I could like this song any more than I already did but you guys just elevated it to a whole new level with this performance.
Love your comment , may the God's grace you and yours.
It's the same for me.
I will never forget this performance. It was an electric, moving atmosphere. I am so glad I get to have this to remember it by. It felt like a ‘you had to be there’ performance.
Just wanted to say I loved your action film analyses.
Also, this Heilung show was mesmerising. Saw them again at ATG festival and they were too draw again
I was there Also, I'm sure You could hear Me lol.
"VALHALLA! "
This song always sends chills to my soul. Specially the live version.
I was never really a spiritual person untill I saw Heilung live for the first time at one of their first shows ever at Castlefest.
It was stunning, bordering on eerie, how they were able to capture the audience in their trance and make them chant or fall silent at their will. I still don't know what if I am a very spirutual person, I'm not religious, I don't believe in reincarnation or chakra's or miracles. But I do believe in the power of this band and of this music. It is a language that speaks to a buried part of ourselves, a part that especially in modern times is screaming for attention.
So sit, listen, and allow what comes up to excist. You'll won't regret it.
I was at this show, and it was absolutely mind blowing. Like nothing Ive ever seen before. ❤
I saw an interview where they referred to their performance as a ritual. 😊
@@watevatube yes! That's what they usually call them!
This song speaks directly to the soul, amazing performance.
I love this song soooo much! This far beyond just music. It invokes such an emotional response from within the tears just roll.
I'll listen to this while earthing under my favorite grandfather oak.
Maria's voice just feels right. Heilung and their rituals brings a peace that humanity's languages just simply can't truly describe.
Hauntingly beautiful.
D. Frostproof, FL. U.S.
This is what I love about Heilung...their music is such an experience...on such a primal level. It connects you to everything and you FEEL the world. It truly is magical and what human beings nowadays need. We need to unplug and get back to CONNECTION.
To be fairrrRrr .... hehe .... I only know about Heilung because of my internet connection and evil old RUclips . But I totally get what you are saying ; we need more analog / naturally talented artists such as Heilung who are brave and good enough to try new things that don't fit into the same old trite boxes .
Folks act as if everyone has been done before and nothing new is possible but humans have been proclaiming that since when Mammoths stomped around the Earth . The spirit of the cosmos is constantly whispering beauty in the form of new ideas and all we have to do is listen carefully with the right sort of ears . This wasn't written by eight fourty year old men in a conference room and we can tell -- we can feel the difference and respond positively to it .
It’s Organic, and I agree, it brings us back to our ancestors and a truth about all creation… we are all connected and are better for acknowledging and accepting that we are linked to the Earth of living, and not to disconnect or separate ourselves from that pulse.
This song is powerful.
It feels like something ancient and essential, lost irrevocably. Like a semi-faded memory of which you can only recall the feeling, never the detail.
Very much hope to see Heilung live one day.
I always listen to this song whenever I have trouble sleeping. It helps calm me down and makes me feel like there are things in this world that are bigger than me. It's truly healing
Это просто волшебство и мёд на уши и глаза мои. Шикарное шоу у ребят! Спасибо! Вы лучшие!!!
Полностью согласен
Tears of joy! You have excelled consistently in music presentation! You all put in as much passion into how you present the music as you put into the creation of these songs. My life changed after finding you. Thank you for yet another combined visual and audio feast!
That was amazing. Haven't got goosebumps like this for a very long time and got teary eyed at same time too! Fantastic ♥
Pagan Europe is alive and well !
So fuckin true
@@skittyandmeowth1113 Thank you
and rising ... wake up our Gods...
always
When I first saw a video with Heilung and soon after an interview with Maria, I thought she seemed familiar to me.
I found through friends that i did meet her at a larp in the 90ies.
I will not claim I know her, but I have talked to her. 30 years ago. Weird feeling. And so happy for her and her "tribes" success.
So excited! My kids ask to watch the video all the time! 💕 And of course I always say yes!
Hah they have great musical taste
How funny. My 5 year old daughter loves watching the Anoana music video
Ours call it "the reindeer song" ❤ 😂😂
Happy to know that young generation has hope! 💕 My son who will the 3 in December will randomly sing his version of anoana, and my daughter who will be 5 in a few weeks always asks to watch the video where they dance around the fire. I always say absolutely!
@@baplotnik thank you! I never push what I like on my kids. I want them to discover all styles and all life has to offer. But hearing my almost 3 year old son sing his version of anoana makes me a proud mama. And when my daughter asks to watch the video with people dancing around the fire I will never tell her no ☺️
We're going to be at the Denver ritual on 11/05/23! It will be our 3rd Heilung experience, first 2 were in Chicago. 🥰
This will be my first! I introduced my mom to them and she's in love. She actually got the tickets! I'm so excited!!
Lucky! Been trying to go see them numerous times but they are never near me..
I'll be there too! My first ritual with them and cannot wait! 🖤
2:30 the vocal harmonies here are amazing.
That would honestly be an understatement! Those harmonies sound straight from the Heavens!
The ones at 3:38 give me goose bumps every time.
I dont even know why, but i always have to shed a few tears when listening to Heilung. Sometimes i imagine, its these last few remains of ancestral blood remembering what first the romans and then christianity took from us.
We remember, I don't even have to close my eyes anymore, I hear the past calling to be heard. Even though they hid the truths and murdered us over and over we come again. A cry for life. Drumming in our hearts and echoing from our mouths.
No one took anything from you
I have the same experience, and I wonder the same thing
Hey h, it's not gone, just dormant. I hear this and being only second gen American, it speaks to my heart, my Latina wife and her family, well it scares the Bejeebus out of them, the same as the rest of my Latin friends. Oh yeah, I get the same feeling from Rammstein, I am 66yr old, born in the US but my heart is still in the Teutoburg Forest pre Rome.
You’re all simply amazing. Best song this century.
...tears of joy. The evolution and refinement of this song makes so much sense. The drums are spot on and are pounding on my higher sacred heart. Can't wait for their next evolution.
Can't wait for the Bluray 😮😮
This brought me to tears. I've seen it live but something about this setting is just so emotional.
This is real music. Deep, powerful, resonant, and timeless.
It's like I'm there again, back during their Seattle tour. A full body experience and an unforgettable environment. It's a memory I treasure.
Thank you for your art
Can´t wait to see them in September 2024 in Vienna! This will truly be a magical night!
Awesome! Me in Stuttgart, same month
The drum at 3:31 rattled to the innermost part of my being. Primal and transcendent at the same time. I cannot wait to see them in Berlin in couple of months.
Wow, just wow... pure Goose bumps-
The live version of Anoana sounds so incredibly good-
I was lucky enough to see Heilung here in Clearwater, Florida on Oct 23,2023. It was one of the most amazing,spiritual experiences of my life. You could feel the music beating inside like a 2nd heartbeat. I knew it would be an amazing experience, but I had no idea it would be like that. They were performing 15 min from my house. I felt so lucky to be one of the people to see them live❤
I was there too! It was an unforgettable experience ... the way I felt the drums inside my chest! I can't wait to see them again 🫶🏼
Turn the volume to max, close your eyes and embrace the calling of your ancestors. My danish heritage fills me with pride when listening to this kind of music. Thankyou Heilung
Audio from Heilungs' live performances are on a whole other level. It sounds SO. GOOD!
That was immensely moving and beautiful.
Danke Heilung ❤
Their live recordings always sound so much better than the studio versions, incredibly rare for any act, but very apt in this case.
Probably the most emotionally evocative song I've ever heard.
I was there that night. It was surreal, incredibly emotional, and such a great atmosphere. They killed it. Much love. ❤
I was Too!
It was Fuckin Amazing 👏
This is one of my absolute favorites from Heilung! I throw it on repeat in my car at max volume and drive down scenic back roads and just feel the music move through me😅
Same
I feel baptized listening to this!!!
Wow!!
pouring water on the head of a defenseless child was not part of Viking culture😂
My favorite song from this group yet! Maria's vocal range is just mind boggling. The energy at these shows must be incredible! True magick. ❤
That is Unreal! Completely beautiful, deep rooted, expansive and eternal! Love it!
Man......full body chills whenever I listen to them....Amazing stuff
Makes me feel connected to the earth, the woods, animals . . . somehow to everything. Pure, primary energy! Thank you, Heilung, for this experience! Your sound is really healing! 💚💚💚
Had no idea Heilung was releasing a new Live album! Can't wait to listen if this is the kind of quality to expect. Shout out too to all those who saw them in Greensboro earlier this October; was an amazing time. :)
