This band is so good. Big fan of them. You all should also check out the band Wardruna, the vocalist is also a former drummer of the black metal band Gorgoroth
Northern European. Formed 10 years The lyrics for this song come from bracteates, amulets or coins found in northern Europe dating from the 4th - 7th centuries. The bracteates iconography is influenced by Roman coins. Their catalog uses many languages, including proto Norse, Proto German, Old English, Latin , German, English, Icelandic. Anoana is on the 2022 3rd album, Drif. Instruments include actual bones, which makes customs a challenge.
At the end, I believe she becomes one with her spirit animal. You can tell as a young girl that she is looking for that animal when she shakes her antlers at the moose, but doesn't get a response.
I've seen this band twice, once here in the States and once in Norway (in a small town in Norway -the female lead singer grew up there) and I had the best time I've had in years. Their concerts are performed like healing rituals (thus the name "Heilung") and usually incorporate indigenous peoples from the country they're performing in. If you get a chance, go. You won't regret it.
Heilung mainly represents styles and languages from the Eurasian circumpolar cultures, mainly germanic, scandinavian and the northern parts of europe. But it is absolutely valid to see connections to the Natives of Turtle Island (the american continent) since it is not uncommon for such old cultures to have roots within one another. For example, some native tribes have a spirit called "Deer Woman" while some of the eurasian cultures have "Deer Mother". Deers are generally very honored in both cultures as far as I know. A lot of native tribes & shamans from germanic cultures use elk and deer teeth in their clothes, e.g on dresses and regalia. For example Maria's (the singer in white) clothing is based on founds of shamanic headdresses and Deer Mother's appearance. The other singers and bandmembers are also very authentically dressed from the Northern Bronze Age. Antlers in germanic & indo-eurasian cultures hold a high meaning - Deers are often seen as "holy" animals. They were often associated with woodland entities and life. In more "recent" folklore they are also commonly associated as the prey the Wild Hunt (a band of eternal hunters who perished in accidents or unjust ways) chases during the Winter times. It's a bit complicated, as any folklore can be - alot is also localized generally. Personally I'm from a northern germanic background & Pagan, so what a deer and it's antlers mean to me might differ to those who are further south or upper north (Scandinavia/Iceland). Generally, Heilung often uses found scriptures, poems, healing chants and more from findings all over the eurasian and germanic sites. A lot of their songs are sung in different languages such as Icelandic, proto-germanic, german, norwegian and more. It's really interesting and you can find a lot of translations or interpretations by language experts on the lyrics of their songs. Some sadly are lost or have no complete translation, but they're still captivating. I can always recommend Nesso (based on a healing chant) and Krigsgaldr (the live version is the best one, the audience often gets really into it).
I’m not a pro on the band by any means but I know Heilung means “healing” in German. They have members from Germany, Denmark and Finland I believe. Their instruments and attire are inspired by Germanic and Viking tribes and the majority of their music is based on old runic scripture, tribal/german history and mythological deities.
Heilung (HIGH-lung), from the German, "healing". Try their live video for "Traust", recorded at Red Rocks. Remember that we all are brothers All people, and beasts and 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
I highly recommend their song In maidjan, live at castlefest, it's amazing. The band has three main members: Maria, Christopher and Kai, they're from Norway, Denmark and Germany.
This was unexpected but amazing pick Charlotte! I vibe with Heilung a lot. I always feel like I’m being transported to another plane of existence or something when I listen to things like this.
The ei in Heilubg is pronounced, like the i in "Hi". Nice reaction! It is a great song, when you go for a walk in nature! I did that every day for over a year and it was always amazing. Have a good one! ✌🏻
Their music - including the languages in which they sing - is inspired by ancient, pre-Christian, shamanistic European cultures! “Heilung” is the German word for healing, it contains the old word “heil”, which means something like luck, success! But it also applies in the context of “whole/complete” - if something is broken, you colloquially make it “heil” again (whole/complete - repair it)! It also appears in the German word for „holy“ (heilig)! But there are also opposite meanings - “Unheil” (bad luck, ruin, misfortune) or “heillos” (unsuccessful/hopeless)! The word “Heil” gained negative notoriety through Hitler and the Nazis, who used the term in the “Hitler salute” or as “Sieg Heil” - i.e. the invocation of a successful victory! Even today we still wish a hunter a successful hunt with a “Weidmanns Heil” or a fisherman a good catch with a “Petri Heil” (Petri is the abbreviation of Petrus, the patron saint of fishermen)! Small side note: The “ei” in “Heilung” is pronounced like the letter “i” or the word “eye”! English “i” = German “ei” (Hei-lung)
As always, you guys are amazing Thank you so much for everything! I actually don't have a clue what this song is about, and I wanted to research it for you guys, but it was too much for my diminutive level of intelligence to comprehend at the moment 😭 I know in the past I tried looking up more information on this song and I remember it not being very straightforward, so I am glad other people in the comments are coming through with some information since I am just a clueless fan. My second or third longest spotify playlist is one full of this type of music, I love it so much so I am glad you guys liked it too! 🖤🤍
For something similar, check out "Wolf Totem" by The Hu for Mongolian metal/rock, and "Altay" by Otyken & Ummet Ozcan for Siberian folk rock. All three of those acts make extensive use of throat singing, similar to Heilung's.
Ah, yes. They're closest to "native Germanic" as you can get, and naturally enough it seems "Native American" to US Americans because old polytheist and shamanic tribal warrior cultures are somewhat alike. Mind you it's modern music in the spirit of iron age Germanic cultures, *not* "iron age music" as some assert. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
A lot of people mistake Heilung for native American at first. There are so many similarities between all tribal cultures across the world, since there are only so many ways to utilize resources when living off the land. Languages are the only real divides. I'm happy I found your channel. I look forward to the Heilung arc that I'm sure is coming.
It's not a native American thing, it's a native nordic thing - exactly: Shamanism of the North. You can find this kind of Rituals in Scandinavian, Siberian, Mongolia up to Korea. The Song selfs? It 's about the Reincarnation of a Shaman and Healer ... ;)
Hello ladies a amazing band and great song too i am a subscriber i would like to ask a favor my mother Cathy has breast cancer and not in good health so i would like to request for you to react to her favorite symphonic metal band from Finland wintersun for Wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video from Wintersun jari RUclips channel it would make her day better watching you two react to that song and would make her last possible days better so let bme know in a reply thank you. Wintersun Alex ❄️🫶
at the end that is not a buffalo its a musk ox and the woman wasnt crushed or smashed shes the spirit of nature and the beast and the spirit reunited thats how the video ends
Oh we are in the Heilung arc? Personal suggestions for this band are : "Krigsgaldr" and "In Maidjan". Both Live versions at Lifa.
I prefer LIFA Iotungard.
The "Norupo" video!

I think most of the bones are fine it's just the human bones that make customs problematic ;)

@@rockhardjohnson3691 other THAN that
I love this band! I saw them live in Austin. They’re amazing!
Heilung (HIGH-lung), from the German, "healing".
Try their live video for "Traust", recorded at Red Rocks.
Remember that we all are brothers
All people, and beasts and 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
Heilung is incredible. And such an amazing live band.
Love that you looked at this one. ❤
I highly recommend their song In maidjan, live at castlefest, it's amazing.
The band has three main members: Maria, Christopher and Kai, they're from Norway, Denmark and Germany.
Now that you know the context of the song you should watch, without reacting, the live version. It's impressive. Seen them live and they are amazing.
Next y'all should check out the song Krigsgaldr live at Lifa.
This was unexpected but amazing pick Charlotte! I vibe with Heilung a lot. I always feel like I’m being transported to another plane of existence or something when I listen to things like this.
You should always expect the unexpected with me :(
@ Yeah you right!!
The ei in Heilubg is pronounced, like the i in "Hi".
Nice reaction! It is a great song, when you go for a walk in nature!
I did that every day for over a year and it was always amazing.
Have a good one! ✌🏻
As you liked this one, you might enjoy Wardruna Himinndotter (sky dotter). There is also a live video of Wardruna with Aurora singing Helvegen..
Aurora version is my favorite verison of Helvegen I think. So I second this!! :)

By the way, that was a musk ox, not a Buffalo. This is northern Europe, pre viking Era..
She runs in to the animal and becomes one with the nature 😉

all natives are not "similar" at all !
Ah, yes. They're closest to "native Germanic" as you can get, and naturally enough it seems "Native American" to US Americans because old polytheist and shamanic tribal warrior cultures are somewhat alike. Mind you it's modern music in the spirit of iron age Germanic cultures, *not* "iron age music" as some assert.

have you guys heard any Wardruna yet?
Yes, absolutely! The granddaddy of the pagan folk scene.
A lot of people mistake Heilung for native American at first. There are so many similarities between all tribal cultures across the world, since there are only so many ways to utilize resources when living off the land. Languages are the only real divides. I'm happy I found your channel. I look forward to the Heilung arc that I'm sure is coming.
If you like this you really should check out Wardruna - Helvegen. I like the version with Aurora :)

Try HEILUNG - Norupo!
"native americans" ??!!
US are not the entire world, fortunately !!
these are european natives !
NOTHING TO DO WITH NORTH AMERICA !
Or Samoa 😊!
And NOT a Buffalo !
30 second search on the Internet would answer all your questions !
love the reaction. If you wanna go deeper into the band, I recommend watching Fylgija Ear / Futhorck from their first ever live performance LIFA.
at the end that is not a buffalo its a musk ox and the woman wasnt crushed or smashed shes the spirit of nature and the beast and the spirit reunited thats how the video ends
