    An important consideration, this song is deliberately meant to be very jarring at points. Krigsgaldr means "war magic" and is part of a larger story told in other songs from Lifa. The overall story is, a village is thrust into a war they didn't want or start, but now must participate in. This performance is an actual ritual designed deliberately to induce a trance state, then break you out it just as the village was peaceful, then war-torn. This song describes the point of no return. Maria's lyrics reflect the feelings of the women who fear what is coming, while the throat singing expresses the growing aggression among the warriors as their village is drawn into war.

      I've been part of two of their rituals (live performance in other word) and it is just mezmerizing and uplifting for your soul. You just stand there taking it all in, either watching them or with your eyes closed and letting their sounds and singing taking you away. The second time I was going to see them I had a bad day, had not slept well, had eaten some not so good food and wasn't feeling all that great either (mentally) and was actually thinking of just not going. But I so fondly remembered the first time I saw them so I forced myself to go, and I was glad I did it. After the ritual I felt "lifted", I felt better (even though my stomach wasn't agreeing with that) and re-energized that the trip I took to didn't feel like wasted time and money.

      It's the hypnotic tribal rhythm. I had the same reaction when I first heard Wardruna and Heilung. The brain is programmed recognize rhythm and there's this really primal feel to it. I think it's like genetic memory or something. It somehow feels really familiar. Like something you've known always.

    The lady and the throat singer with dreadlocks are a couple. The guy with the antlers (a tattoo artist) asked if he could record some of his poems in exchange of a free tattoo for the first guy. They ended up making this band. This was also their first live performance, so everyone else (including the falsetto guy) are guest artists. Some are now regulars, but some did not permanently join, such as the singer with the falsetto. Also, the tattoo was never executed because after this performance they were like “wow this worked?” and they now tour the world. They now have a few female back-up singers, one of which is the sister of the falsetto guy and has an amazing voice (just like basically everyone involved with them)

    What am I supposed to do
    If I want to talk about peace and understanding
    But you only understand the language of the sword
    What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall
    But you only understand the language of the sword
    What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace
    But you only understand the language of the sword
    I let the blade do the talking...
    So my tongue shall become iron
    And my words the mighty roar of war
    Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike
    All action for the good of all
    I see my reflection in your eyes
    But my new age has just begun
    The sword is soft
    In the fire of the furnace
    It hungers to be hit
    And wants to have a hundred sisters
    In the coldest state of their existence
    They may dance the maddest
    In the morass of the red rain
    Beloved brother enemy
    I sing my sword song for you
    The lullaby of obliteration
    So I can wake up with a smile
    And bliss in my heart
    And bliss in my heart
    And bliss in my heart
    Coexistence, conflict, combat
    Devastation, regeneration, transformation
    That is the best I can do for you
    I see a grey gloom on the horizon
    That promises a powerful sun to rise
    To melt away all moons
    It will make the old fires of purification

      I'm a German native and have the exact same feelings. It's just heart breaking how much all of us have in common at the core, yet some few power hungry degenerates manage to divide us so very effectively. We all just want to live in peace and love the people around us. No matter where, no matter what we look like. Heilung somehow manages to convey this incredibly well, to the point where even South Indian tribal people that haven't had any connection to African/European/American cultures inherently understand and agree.
      Heilung (meaning healing) really do what they named themselves on a truly global scale. Their songs may not appear as such on the surface, but really are pure love for humankind as a whole.

    In Heilung's music Kai routinely sings cleanly but also uses a form of Kargyraa with varying degrees of distortion, and then does straight up black metal screams. Kargyraa transitions into screams VERY easily and thus you usually get a blend of both going on within a song, just gotta drop primary cord phonation, increase compression and play with mouth shaping.

    It is so hard to recommend a first song for someone to listen to because it is just so different, and there are so many songs that are also so different from each other. This song definitely has a massive impact on the first-time listener, so it is a good choice. My suggestion for a song, that shows off Maria's massive vocal talent, I suggest the song "In Maidjan." From this same performance at Castlefest.

    Enjoyed your reaction. Heilung (healing in German) is an experimental folk music band who draws inspiration for their music from texts, runic inscriptions and other artifacts from Iron Age Northern Germanic people and the Viking Age. They call their music amplified history and their goal is to connect modern society with the beginnings of humanity through music. They call their shows Rituals and having been to one it is a very apt description. It is a very spiritual experience. The show starts with all the performers coming on stage and a blessing given by one of the male singers (Kai I believe) acting as Shaman. They then recite their collective prayer.
    Remember, that we all are brothers
    All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind
    We all descend from the one great being
    That was always there
    Before people lived and named it
    Before the first seed sprouted"
    The rest of the ritual takes you on an amazing journey of healing and reconnection with something ancient and eternal.
    Highly recommend the song Anoana for it's amazing story and Maria's fantastic vocals. I think you would especially enjoy where she uses the traditional Swedish Kulning technique in the song. Very powerful and soul stirring.

      Was hopping into the comments to recommend exactly this. It's absolutely stunning.
      I struggle with a lot of mental issues, PTSD, depression, etc, and occasionally will just take a day tripping on mushrooms to try to work through some things. I was familiar with heilung, and thought mixing that in would be an interesting addition to the trip. I ended up sitting in my room with Anoana on a loop for about 6 hours. It changed my life. I don't like to exaggerate, but I'm genuinely, fundamentally in a better place since that experience, and the song played a huge part in it.

    There is no "Celtic" throat singing.
    Kai occasionally uses a Mongolian type of throat singing (undertone singing) called "kargyraa".
    The gutteral vocals in this song are more akin to metal vocals.
    All false folds, no vocal folds.
    Kai inspired me to learn Kargyraa myself and I'm familiar with metal vocalisations, so I notice the differences pretty clearly.
    Another band that uses Kargyraa in a very beautiful and nordic inspired way is Nytt Land. I highly recommend.

They are among the top three acts I've ever seen in my lifetime. Only reason I can't choose #1 is because they're completely different genres and all excel in their particular niche.

    For more by this group, I'd recommend 'In Maijan' and 'Alfadhirhaitl' from the same concert. The first song has more vocal range from Maria; the second is more like a village getting ready for battle and asking for Odin's blessing.
    Another band that I discovered much more recently is Otyken. Sounding a bit like a mix of Heilung and The Hu, the members are from a native tribe in Siberia.

    The languages used are english and runic ¿Old danis?
    The texts of the song have been extracted from the Eggia stone. Eggja's stone (also known as Eggum's or Eggjum's stone) This is a large flat stone with runic inscriptions that covered a tomb dating from the period between 650 and 700 and that was discovered while plowing a field in 1917 at Eggja farm in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. When it was found, the inscription was on the underside of the slab covering a man's grave, so that it could not be read from the outside (like the Kylver stone). The stone is currently in the Bergen museum. It has about 200 runes, making it the longest inscription engraved with letters of the ancient futhark alphabet, although some runes have a transitional form to the young futhark.
    The lyrics say the following:
    The home fades.
    Vil launched a deadly horde upon them.
    The oars and mast were destroyed.
    Who brought?
    Who brought the horde to this distant land?
    The fishes of the streams of Firnoy.
    They swim adrift.
    From the land of bright meadows.
    Who brought?
    Who brought the horde to this distant land?
    A hug.

    But you only understand the language of the sword?
    What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall
    But you only understand the language of the sword
    What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace
    But you only understand the language of the sword
    I let the blade do the talking
    So my tongue shall become iron and my words the mighty roar of war
    Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike
    All action for the good of all, I see my reflection in your eyes
    But my new age has just begun, the sword is soft
    In the fire of the furnace, it hungers to be hit
    And wants to have a hundred sisters
    In the coldest state of their existence
    They may dance the maddest in the morass of the red rain
    Beloved brother enemy, I sing my sword song for you
    The lullaby of obliteration
    So I can wake up with a smile
    And bliss in my heart and bliss in my heart and bliss in my heart
    Coexistence, conflict, combat
    Devastation, regeneration, transformation
    That is the best I can do for you
    I see a grey gloom on the horizon
    That promises a powerful sun to rise, melt away all moons
    It will make the old fires of purification, purification
    Look like dying embers, look like dying embers"

  • @SYNKSENTURY
    @SYNKSENTURY 7 месяцев назад +5

    you're correct about the throat singing! the drone-like lower placed sound is standard kargyraa, in which the false folds and true folds vibrate simultaneously, with the false folds synchronized into a sub-octave relationship with the true folds-this is what gives it it's characteristically buzzy sound. it's considered a foundational technique in vocal distortion, and forms the basis for a lot of rock and metal distortion. the higher placed sounds are based on a related technique known in metal as "fry screaming," which is achieved at the true fold level by hovering the voice between registers, leveraging the subsequent oscillation around the vocal break to produce distortion. both are totally healthy forms of phonation when performed correctly; i practice them everyday and can easily switch between distorted sounds and clean resonant singing with no loss of range or control

    There is no such thing as “Celtic throat singing” ancient Celtic peoples did not practice throat singing. And Heilung never claims that their throat singing is Nordic or Celtic. It’s a modern pagan singing tradition borrowed from traditional cultures that do practice throat singing today such as in Mongolia and Siberia.

    I have seen heilung live two times allready. I've cryed, screamed, listend, had the shivers, it got me sick, hyped, angry, relaxed all at the same time. They play even play with/on human bones from time to time and the show is just....... amazing. I literally have no words to describe what is was like.

    Heilung is mesmerizing. I used to listen to them on my way to work. By the time I got to work, I was like a frothing berserker.

    The man singing falsetto is Jonas Lorentzen. He left the band a few years ago and went out on his own. He is a phenomenal vocalist.

    Most amazing concert I've been to! Eviør was the opening act and she has had my heart for at least 10 years. I'd definitely listen to her if you haven't already! She's insanely powerful!

    I like this one the least because it has English vocals in it, it feels jarring to me. I personally much prefer Hamrer Hippyer, In Maidjan, Fylgija Ear / Futhorck, Anoana, Norupo and Alfadhirhaiti. Safe to say, there's a lot to explore here!

    I am SO glad you did this video! I only recently discovered Heilung myself, and this live version of "Krigsgaldr" was also my introduction to the band, and I've been thinking for a while of recommending them just to see your reaction-and you did not disappoint! Your face at the duet/dialogue between the two men was my face, for sure! I was so fascinated by it that I looked up the lyrics to make sure I was following along and it's just so interesting. Then your reaction to the return of the instruments and the singing! YES! And your explanations for what their voices were doing was really helpful!
