right, it stretches an itch that I wasn't even aware I had, one that seems far off, distant, but known in the depths of my being. It's definitely tapping into a part of our humanity perhaps that is directly tied to the natural world. Real ancient connection
I was there that night, I never heard of Heilung before then. It rained right before the concert, but people stayed in place. During their performance fog started rising, it's almost like they called it with their music. It was an unforgettable experience.
"Heilung means healing, and it's the final message of this show. When you look through the set and the translations behind the lyrics, it's about a peaceful society being driven to war because their enemy only speaks the language of the sword. But during the conflict, their shaman/soothsayer guy reads the bones and discovers the only rune that has significance in the future is 'Ear' ... the 'Grave' or 'Death Incarnate'. Then, the final song's lyrics are taken from the Merseberg Incantations where Wodan heals a horse's broken leg with a chant of healing. So the entire show is about healing the world of man from the scars of war, lest we be overtaken by the grave." This was copy and pasted from "airlockengage" a few comments down.
@@Kaiyanwang82 Wouldn't have mattered if the Romans were lead by another leader. They lacked intel on the land and were heavily armored (compared to the germanic tribes) in a landscape consisting of thick forests, swamps and moor they didn't stand a chance. Especially if we consider that the germanic tribes knew Roman military tactics from Armenius and that they were intimidated by the "bezerkstyle" of the norsemen - Just some thoughts of a descendant of the Chauci Tribe ;)
I cannot stress enough the quality of this recording. The visuals, camera angles, sound, mixing, mastering. Everything about it screams professionalism. It's purely better than most $40+ blurays out there.
I worked at a used bookstore, and one of our regulars is a guy about 65 or so who is a music fanatic. Any style, any era, he will listen to it. He has stories of meeting every band you've ever heard of from the 60s and 70s when they passed though Cleveland. His recommendations are gold. My wife and I love trying new music, and he came in one day and handed her a piece of paper with "Heilung: LIFA" on it. She said she would listen to it later on lunch break. He quickly held up his hand. "No." You have to watch the video of the whole live performance. Trust me." Of course, we did. When she went home she brought up the video of the performance, figuring she could try it for a few minutes as the performance began, then she would have dinner. She said she suddenly noticed that the performance was ending, it had been an hour, and she had not thought of food or anything else. The music had CONSUMED her.
Thats exactly how I felt seeing them live! Really made me lose all sense of time until I suddenly realised the show was over. Also being that kind of guy when I'm old is some life goal ngl
That's Christopher Juul, the guy on the left with the audio equipment.. he is an audio engineer and live masters during the show. That's why they always sound so good live. He also controls the looping, sound effects, and all the mics, all while singing and playing himself..
I am 72 and have been looking for something like this for all my life. Being a misplaced person of Norwegian heritage I did not know what I was looking for till I found this. Music like this usually just puts me to sleep but not this. Very powerful! Thank you.
Misplaced person? Whatever that means, perhaps I can send a little comfort. From outdoor Norway, quiet song, some of the lyrics are from the Eddas and believed to be 1400 years old: ruclips.net/video/YWE9LDIuA0M/видео.html and here is Einar Selvik in another song which is a bit wild, lyric in Old Norse: ruclips.net/video/aqhhlmz6gik/видео.html and a song performed by Eivør from Faroese Island but performed in Norway: ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html . Greetings from Denmark :-)
Same here, though I'm only forty. My grandparents came to USA, and their culture was largely dissolved in the English culture, though there was some revival in their old age, for whatever reason. So at least I knew some of the old songs (Some of the old Norwegian songs are among the oldest in northern Europe), which weren't taught to my elder siblings.
tbh in overall human history, this stuff wasn't that far away, we should be allowed to let out our stress in different ways, even these "olden" ones, especially under todays overarching system that is Capitalism, which requires you to be a wage slave and just consume products all the time, stress is plentiful now.
@@sonnymery4193 Earth is as much a piece of God as the terminology you claim is the real deal. Earth is a little piece that we are capable of perceiving. So yes, it technically is a connection to earth, the creator, everything in between.. There is no matter of a fact.. It's a connection to everything that matters.
I saw them live in Kansas city. It wasn't a concert. It was a religious shamanic experience. You can feel every vibration in your organs and bones! It's amazing!
It not an accident or coincidence that the culture spread all over Europe and Asia during the ice age and would eventually migrate into the America's. Hence thats why First Nations music sounds so similar.
So jealous lol, they were about a 17ish hour drive from me in Colorado and we were planning on going but ticket prices were too high. Maybe next time though
"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" -- Heilung
My brother, i will be there in spirit. i just discovered this..this indescribable sound of my soul awakened..not realizing till this moment it had been sleeping. if i was of unlimited funds i would fly and meet u there..maybe the gods take & change my fate to glorify their power & greatness to exist on another level. take me with you please
Blessed be all of us who have forgotten who we belong too. This isn't a concert by Any means. This is a tribute to one we have been lead to believe to he forgotten. But we will forget not but will continue to push through. Thank you for your beauty and transcendent voices to never let us forget.
I listened to this live version of Alfadhirhaiti for 10 minutes before pitching a life-changing plan to my company CEO to get myself hyped up and channel some confidence. My plan was accepted and it will change the course of my life and my family's life in the most positive way possible
When I get depressed I usually just go and cut off the heads of a few Roman legionnaires and put them on spikes in front of the Limes Wall overseeing the Rhine river.
@@jamzee_ it's know as Galdr. It's a form norse magic, which is cast by intoning the runes. Rubes were more than just an "alphabet" to the Norse, the rubes held power and they represent concepts not just letters.
I have the honor of going to see them in October 3 days after my birthday and on the date of my deceased daughter's birthday. This healing is a long time coming and on so many levels, I can't wait.
Rico's Roughnecks in San Francisco as well. And, the tribes performed with them at the end. It was so beautiful, I almost cried at the end, and I don’t cry. I’m visually African-American, but have other ingredients as well. I went with my Norwegian friend. I wasn’t the only one. There were Polynesian, Hispanic, and Native-American people there that I noticed. It was a beautiful, human experience. 😊
@@Nubianette It definitely was a beautiful experience very spiritual. All colors and creeds were there. I felt like it was pilgrimage to go see them live. Although, I have no German or Norwegian ancestry, I am more Native to the American continent, I felt their vibrations and good energy around me and over the whole atmosphere in the concert grounds as well. No matter what creed you are this is something any spiritual or shaman around the world could connect to. It was a raw human experience.
Massive respect to the audio engineer and the team. There's got to be 30+ Microphones up there they've got to track along with the Direct inputs from the keyboards, guitars, bass, vocals, drum kit, etc.). So much is going on and everything is perfectly processed, EQ'd, and balanced. Since the recording was taken straight from the mixer, I'm going to guess they maybe pulled about 16 to 32 bus tracks from mics/inputs for all the instrument and vocal groups along with an audience bus just to make things manageable in post production. Maybe he didn't group anything to bus tracks at all. I'm sure there was further mixing and mastering in the studio for some finishing touches though. The job was done perfect and the right way from the start. Fucking Primal and Raw. I can feel my ancestral genes and feelings screaming inside and fighting against the shitty conditioning of this corrupt and twisted western society. I truly love all of you, my brothers and sisters out there.
I’d like to enjoy more live performances, but oftentimes the ones I see on RUclips are recorded with a potato and the quality takes away from the experience. I’m better off not watching those videos. This is not the case for this one.
I just need you all to know something. I just watched one of the very first Heilung interviews (post Futha release) and learned that this was literally the FIRST TIME ANY OF THEM STEPPED ON A STAGE TOGETHER. YES, you read that right.
Only problem I have with this, is I can only give one thumbs up on RUclips. Heilung are reaching places that audio has yet to discover. Each song is a journey, each lyric is a direction and then, we are all left at the same destination at the end. Astounded.
Maybe the other way round? People like you and me love metal, coz it's that archaic and full of primordial natural power, beauty and magic? Just an idea.

I've had a horrible year and it keeps getting worse. Right now I only feel good when I listen to you guys. Thank you for giving me peace in this painful time.
Same. Im going to red rocks because this is truly the only thing that spiritually moves me anymore. You should come. I hope to meet awesome people there
Listening to this is the most “religious” I’ve felt in a long time. I feel it in my bones. This is speaking to my spirit on a level I can’t explain. I love it so much and I appreciate these people so much for giving us this beautiful work. You can really tell they put 100% of themselves into this. I hope to see them live one day
This is not a concert. This is a full-blown religious, spiritual, conscious pilgrimage. This will awaken something you never knew you had within you, No matter who you are, where you come from, what ethnicity you are, or whoever you may worship... This will absolutely set your soul on fire and change your life. Edit: Ty for all the likes! I’m honored ^^
It's a fantastic musical tribute and connection to the history and people of northern europe, but it's also a very practiced and meticulous performance that allows everyone involved to make a living. The trappings of paganism are a part of that performance but it's not based on any one religion or ritual in particular. It is spiritual in my opinion, but only in the sense that all music that provokes emotion is spiritual, which'll come down to how you as the individual percieve it.
Eo! As a Hawaiian woman this made me cry tears of joy to hear the voices of our Indigenous cousins-like hearing your sibling sing when you had believed them dead. Malama Pono, may the Gods bless Heilung.
@ This is when one can read the difference between people who understand and feel the universal language of music and peeps with the IQ of a strawberry. Thanks :)
My Father's family is from Swedish Lapland, my Mother's from Finnish Lapland. I hear the voices and sounds of my ancestors through this music. My father sang joik, in his deep guttural voice to my children to lull them to sleep, but he didn't know it was joik. It is in our DNA.
Love your comment. I found out that I have Scandinavian DNA in my blood when I did my ancestry DNA. Have been embracing the Viking in me ever since. Skål
I was moved to tears by the sheer power behind this performance. I am not of Scandanavian blood and do not understand any of the languages used and am not usually partial to this kind of music, but somehow it transcends languages and speaks directly to that part of me that feels connected to the Earth and all her natural beauty. We have lost something along the way and Heilung seem to be tapping into that primal yearning for simpler times. Powerful stuff.
I'm a middle aged bald man in his 50's. As a teenager, I had hair down to the middle of my back and headbanged to Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC, Megadeth... I thought that part of me had died. Heilung has proven otherwise to me.
I can't believe we're feeling the same way and I cry real tears of,,,I don't fuckin know but I am headbang crying it's a new thang yeaaaaaaaaasaguuulacomundo
Both this band and Norse paganism has saved my life. My mind is plagued with mental illness and I am completely unable to leave the house and experience the world no matter how much I wish I could. Ive so far been 3 months in total isolation and I’m lonelier than ever. My only saving grace has been the gods and the music of Heilung. I hope one day I’ll get better so I can witness this beautiful ritual for myself. Thank you for bringing me so much hope and joy, Heilung. ❤️🩹
I'm going the same way since 2016; my depression broke through and i lost literally everything. Wife, kids, friends and job. Making plans the whole day ending on my sofa starring into nothing. All the best for you and all of you who are suffering.❤
Ok so this will probably not be popular but I don't care because I'm only talking to you: how shameful. This whole world is given to us that we might walk as gods in our own lives. And yet you cower? Go to the forest. Be bitten by insects. Scratch your poison ivy rash. Start a fire. Witness the moon creep across the sky! What if there were no house for you to hide inside? You would die. If you stay locked in that hell you are already dead. Live or die. Only you can choose.
That's exactly what I did last night. I got home smashed-drunk, then I found this video, played it, closed the monitor and meditated on this music for the entire thing. When It finished, I wasn't drunk anymore and went to sleep.
A very expensive (thousands of $) 7.1 Surround sound system aint bad either. Just completed it yesterday and discovered this band today. am I crazy or can I feel this music in my DNA?
@@Connection-Lost Except you were on a legion full of mercs who didnt gave a shit about the empire and fled, while you and a few who remained loyal lost the fight and got blood eagled.
@@Connection-Lost except all the times they got ripped apart for underestimating them and getting picked off by hit and run tactics in the enemy's home turf, rome was almost brought down by hill tribes several times lol.
I don't know why, but this music allows me such an emotional release that I begin crying half the time. It gives such a pure, soul-trance rhythm that I feel purely raw and free, my anger and frustrations can front peacefully and I understand myself. I'm so happy I found it. Also a bonus, it freaks the hell out of my Christian neighbors.
Put this music on, turn off all your lights, light two candles, close your eyes and commune with the Old Gods. Find out just how much more understanding you will have afterwards.
I was thinking the same, literally anytime I'm having a stressful day at work I play heiling, and start crying, but good tears. I don't think I could handle a live performance in person
@@John.brown.the.baptist I saw them at Roadburn last year and around me I saw lots of bearded big guys with tears in their eyes in the audience. I highly rec seeing them live. They ended with an encore with an electronic beat where topless warriors came down from the stage and would join the audience and animate everyone to dance and mosh. It was amazing. Afterwards you feel completely different, like you're part of something bigger.
I'm 33 and never before this have I ever experienced something spiritual I have cried for the first time in years this band these amazing people have changed me
I don't know what it is, but the sheer appearance of Maria Franz is the most beautiful thing, I've seen in a long time ... you can easily imagine a foreign tribe fearing the spiritual power of a shaman women with her appearance. Like a spirit of the forest with unimaginable spiritual energy, easily able to turn the fate in her tribes favour ... Its magical
This is exactly why our women were suppressed by Christianity and the direct reason for the witch trials. Now image a world today were this role was recreated in society, no more feminism etc or women competing with men, just actually strong women playing the role of the goddess freo or sif as a man fufills the role of the god ingvi freyr/ woden or thunor
@@callummason6589 no more would it be a battle of the sexes it would be an acceptance of each other's roles in nature and how we complimente one another instead of the Christian ideal of dominance and subservience
@@callummason6589 The witch trials were carried out centuries after the Norse were converted to Christianity and the alleged witchcraft had little to do with the shamanic religions of the north. Women had from the beginning been elevated in Christianity far above what the pagans managed, particularly in Greek and Roman society. Throughout the Middle Ages, women were revered as saints, doctors, and spiritual women, not to mention the deep devotion to Mary that characterized the period. It was only during the Enlightenment when philosophers elevated the ancient Greek tradition over the Christian tradition that women were placed in subservient roles practically and philosophically. As others have said here, woman was created from the side of man, co-equals with him in his place in the Cosmic Order and co-heirs of the Image of God and eternity.
@non pop radio 18.7 fm Griswold Rituals are shows... they are visionary, musical, otherworldly, and those who attend often have spiritual experiences... So it isn't wrong that they refer to their shows as rituals. One could have a spiritual experience just listening to the music created through the ritual.
@@ericcolella6484 Kai, Maria and Chris are normal people with hobbies. They're not some rich, ridiculously lavish lifestyle leaders who just made Heilung to sell tickets and pretend they're vikings, ya know. Like most of the rest of the "viking metal" out there. They actually study their historical roots, given that they're, ya know, FROM Scandinavian heritage, and lands. Most of their music isnt even about Vikings, it is about people and beliefs and gods that far predated the viking age.
And they seem more relaxed! When i saw them the extra background people jumped and danced around, even jumped on the audience during the last song lmao
i've never taken mushrooms and sat in a forest while listening to music... but this kinda makes me want to take mushrooms, sit in a forest and listen to music
@jgoertzen27 If you do, be prepared to gain a higher understanding of how life, death, and the universe are all intricately entwined. You won’t regret your journey.
what did i just watch? i saw the thumbnail and just ended up watching the whole thing, this took me completely by surprise and was the most insane thing i've seen in a while. this was definitely a good accident to stumble on. the vocals and the drums and how there were basically no samples with everything being performed live was extremely impressive. i mean i've heard wardruna before and i love Runaljod Gap Var Ginunnga but this was so good. i cant believe this kind of thing exists in the world and i need to experience this.
This music hit me hard and the only way I can describe it is that it felt like home. It feels like a memory that I never had. These were my people in a past life and this band woke up something in me I didn't know was there. I have German and Irish background but I never put much thought into it.
I remember very clearly the first moment I heard Heilung. It was 2 years ago. I seen specifically this show, this video. My boyfriend told me, sit down and just listen. Oh Lord! I wasn´t ready enough. The whole show I just sit and listen without breath, my eyes was never so focus and my heart so open. My soul felt peace and home for the first time. I cried. It was my lowest and darkest time of my life and this basically showed me the way to go through. I was fighting and I survived.
disregard comments that this is a hippie Band - I grew up in the Sixties. 1) there was NEVER any band like this in the 60's . 2) The hippies were a phenomena of the era of sexual revolution, protest of Vietnam & other wars yes but, this band Heilung reaches FAR BACK into a neolithic type of energy that was left undiscovered by the 'Hippie' Movement. 3) we have never before been in this particular moment, where we have the potential to Literally turn earth into a barren rock, this & other things are what the music of Heilung touches on.
Like you I grew up with the hippie thing (in the UK so a bit behind the US wave). Nothing as visceral or essential as this and, as you say, this music taps deeper than deep into our shared heritage. Got pretty tired of the whole hippie trippy stuff very quickly but garage bands, Beefheart, Blue Cheer et al kept the interest alive. And here we are with music that really penetrates deep into you heart soul and bones and gives you a glimpse of what it's really meant to be about
Hippie band! Are you people retarded or completely stupid??? Seriously! Anyone that compares this to a 'hippie' band is a fucking idiot-period. Period!!! Period!!!
@@erichutchison3659 Pretty sure none of us are guilty of suggesting Heilung is a hippie band - not sure where that came from but it is of course complete bollocks
And saying "a phenomena" instead of "a phenomenon" is a phenomenon of uneducated, ignorant morons who can't bother telling singular and plural apart when using fancy words beyond their mental horizon.
This is one of those "Wish I'd been there moments"I'm 70 years old and seen and heard all kinds of music..This is just music for the soul.EPIC.Just ordered the CD from Amazon.Wish there was aDVD or BlueRay.
I found this group quite by accident and it was perhaps the best accident I have ever had. Perhaps we are of the few who see this as I do. This is primal and stirs that part of our DNA, and I am pleased as well as being astonished by the following this band has. The theatrical performance just adds a new dimension to their performance.
@@xIronMikex Spotify free have ads right? Even if you pay spotify, they dont get shit of the money (most of the pot goes to main-stream bands). I suggest to pay them directly in bandcamp (or similiar), and enjoy also this video with good conscience, despite using adblock.
Those "Disrespectful ads" go towards the creators, you know, the people you're listening to, for free, and while you can just buy a DvD I wonder just how many people would have heard of these if it were not for RUclips.
I don't know what this feeling is, I just know my heart is beating to every drum beat and I feel as a door inside of me is trying to open, and the scent of something that I somehow yearn, lies behind it
Patricio 8a Because it's everyone's heritage in Europe and in the entire world: it brings you back and helps you to remember your roots. We all started there: in perfect balance with nature. All these ancient cultures were deeply spiritual and in harmony with existence itself. It's nice to see that this kind of music is getting more and more attention nowadays: it brings back soul memories to many of us and reminds us our true origins. :) Peace, friend!
I know what you mean. I came across this music by accident. I've never felt so transcended, so... I really don't have words for the feelings this invokes because I don't think I've ever felt this before.. I want to dance and cry and love and cover myself in mud and howl and other things I don't even know what yet.
My daughter and i were there last night and some of these songs brought me to tears. I felt honoured to be among those to see Heretan performed live for the first time.
I never found Maria Franz's vocals in English to be remarkable, but hearing her in a native language it may be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
It is so soothing yet so enraging! You feel astral and earthbound at the same time. You feel like a parent who lost their child, but also like one that is marching to war to protect all there is to protect.
True DAT!!! They had amazing material to start with. The camera crew are top notch. And who ever did the soundboard mixing..... maybe the soundboard was being worked by Thor himself.
There isn't a single song during this performance that I don't like. I've listened to this show and the individual songs more time than I can now count.
it feels to me more of an interpretation of what those ancient people sang. chanted and drummed to~ sounds like it has more heart to it than others that try the same thing :D
I was raised an American episcopal, but this way of life and beliefs are a huge part of who I am, it makes me feel connected to the past and my ancestors like nothing else can
For those who are confused on the time frame of what this is representing, it's not necessarily "Vikings," and more or less not Neolithic. It's Proto-Germanic she's singing here, and in most of their music. It's Pre-Migration Period, 600 years before the Vikings, ~1st Century CE til ~550 when Elder Futhark broke into Younger Futhark. It's based on historical linguistic reconstruction and snippets of text found archeologically and through Tacitus & Saxo Grammaticus, some of which were carved in runes on bone fragments, or described pejoratively by Latin writers, who described the throat singing as like "howling dogs," when it would sound provisionally like in this video, inferred by the Sammi, Mongol, Indigenous Greenland, and Faroese traditions which survived the ages relatively unchanged. Then they kinda do this English language "rap," which is based on descriptions of Galdralag and Seiðalag -- no surviving examples of which exist outside of very, very scant snippets in the Poetic and Prose Edda, and in descriptions by Saxo Grammaticus and possibly by Tacitus. The low growling and hissing, the forked fingers, is based on descriptions of Seiðr magic. That kind of image survived in the inspiration of "witches" which Christians were afraid of deeply, who were real people practicing a similar indigenous artform, and came to become an abstracted meme of its own that evolved & mutated into the 21st century in a vague smear of pop culture idioms.
@@nvandermark3517 if you truly had a problem with him repeating an already spoken thought or words, you would never say another thing for all we utter has been spoken before by somebody else. And if you see these words as oxymoron in nature, blame yourself for its just an interpretation of your own words. We learn by repetition. Repeating thoughts, ideas and words taught by those who have come before ourselves while interpreting them through our personal perception to comprehend in our own understanding. You are better than none as i. You are your own. You only fight yourself. You and your ilk psychologically project all your insecurity onto others. Those of us who have the eye to see see you no matter what you use to hide of yourselves from yourselves and others. Nobody exposes you more than you in what you willingly choose to show of yourself. But alas, this post is useless in its intent for you won't learn.
If they all did a collab, in a forest of a strong Earthly nodal point, I'm pretty sure it would open up the veil the rest of the way. And i know which one they ALL need to perform together: "Svanrand" and "Narupo"
This entire performance is an amazing accomplishment. The pieces are all visceral and pounding, the chanting is mesmerizing, the drumming is over-powering. Maria Franz in particular has an amazing voice for this type of work. Her laser-like control of every vocalization, for what is clearly a physically and psychically demanding performance, serves to emphasize and reinforce the amazing spiritual and ethereal nature of the entire set. The final piece is a solid sound wall of driving percussion and a healing vocal benediction of life itself. The performers, artists, and technical crew of Heilung, including the walk-on warriors, have created something truly amazing and timeless. A visual and auditory feast that projects directly into the soul of the audience. I feel cleansed and energized every time I listen to this live presentation from Heilung. Stunning. Simply outstanding. Thank you so much.
I have found that l have to listen to this full version at least twice a day. It frees me. I have returned to things l had long ago put aside, and when l do these things l feel no pain. Your rituals gave me the power and ability to start again. May the Allfather keep you all in his hands..
There is an old zen saying, water is water regardless of the container. Heilung has made me realize that primal energy is primal energy regardless of which culture contains it.
I like your wisdom. All expressions of reality are a sound that never leaves nor changes, we simply travel through those sounds as our own wave of exisitance.
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
@Thomas Garman I would rather say that the later forced catholic state religion and the abandoning of everything "heathen" was the main problem. Multi religious rome was rather chill, if i remember correct

This is a powerful experience only sitting in my living room, must be mindblowing to see the show live. When I first saw Maria in her costume, my impression was: This is not a human being, this is more like a forest spirit or something. What an intriguing expression of femininity.
My sentiments exactly. I am a Slav however, and in Slavic lore many spirits are malicious, if not deadly enemies of man. Some are the vengeful, sad or lonely spirits of people who died prematurely or tragically. However, the lady herself is very intriguing.
@@aircooledalex Seen them in Asheville before you and I didn't want it to stop. Then I wanted to just leave with them to stay. Definitely a life altering experience that'll never leave your memory 💯🐾🌕🐺
Firstly I am healing, secondly, what is the audience doing; when I listen to Heilung I am dancing all around my yard. I can’t commit to a “seat” when they come to USA Maryland. I feel so much love for you all. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Call it Pagan, or pre-Christian religion, but it is also unity of tribes going back to hunter-gatherer days. Nothing in modern life integrates mind-body like chants and drums. We need this, I believe, to experience the re-enchantment of daily life going back to our tribal roots.
I just had an out of body experience listening to this masterpiece. The enchanting voices, the sound of the drums...I was completely mesmerized. This is my first experience listening to this group which I never heard before. I felt connected, it brought tears to my eyes. The female vocalist was heavenly...the way her vocal cords sang like an angel. Thank you for this performance, I will never forget it.

"Heilung makes me homesick for a place I never been and nostalgic for a life I never lived" - Best description of Heilung I've ever heard.
right, it stretches an itch that I wasn't even aware I had, one that seems far off, distant, but known in the depths of my being. It's definitely tapping into a part of our humanity perhaps that is directly tied to the natural world. Real ancient connection
I love that. And I could not agree more.
Or, did You !? 🤔
@@JohnnyComeLately-kj4px No. Don't disrespect your ancestors with that 'past lives' bs lol.

I was there that night, I never heard of Heilung before then. It rained right before the concert, but people stayed in place. During their performance fog started rising, it's almost like they called it with their music. It was an unforgettable experience.

So envious of you

"Heilung means healing, and it's the final message of this show. When you look through the set and the translations behind the lyrics, it's about a peaceful society being driven to war because their enemy only speaks the language of the sword. But during the conflict, their shaman/soothsayer guy reads the bones and discovers the only rune that has significance in the future is 'Ear' ... the 'Grave' or 'Death Incarnate'. Then, the final song's lyrics are taken from the Merseberg Incantations where Wodan heals a horse's broken leg with a chant of healing. So the entire show is about healing the world of man from the scars of war, lest we be overtaken by the grave." This was copy and pasted from "airlockengage" a few comments down.

@@theChaosEnigneer1 Exactly :D
@@Kaiyanwang82 Wouldn't have mattered if the Romans were lead by another leader. They lacked intel on the land and were heavily armored (compared to the germanic tribes) in a landscape consisting of thick forests, swamps and moor they didn't stand a chance. Especially if we consider that the germanic tribes knew Roman military tactics from Armenius and that they were intimidated by the "bezerkstyle" of the norsemen - Just some thoughts of a descendant of the Chauci Tribe ;)

depending on where in Italy you are from, I'd say there might be some "germanic" DNA within you
6 years later still listening to this on repeat, it's that good
Same ❤
I'm so lucky I discovered them and they're still touring
I mean... Art does not age. Only you do.

I can not agree more!
I cannot stress enough the quality of this recording.
The visuals, camera angles, sound, mixing, mastering. Everything about it screams professionalism.
It's purely better than most $40+ blurays out there.
Pretty sure it is professional. It's Heilung done
And don't forget to consider, this is their first ever live performance!
@@sarderim wow. Seriously?!
Yes really the first one ! And they will upload 2 New live this year ❤
I first saw this when it was released and it still blows my mind. I've seen it probably 100+ times now :)
I worked at a used bookstore, and one of our regulars is a guy about 65 or so who is a music fanatic. Any style, any era, he will listen to it. He has stories of meeting every band you've ever heard of from the 60s and 70s when they passed though Cleveland. His recommendations are gold. My wife and I love trying new music, and he came in one day and handed her a piece of paper with "Heilung: LIFA" on it. She said she would listen to it later on lunch break. He quickly held up his hand.
"No." You have to watch the video of the whole live performance. Trust me."
Of course, we did. When she went home she brought up the video of the performance, figuring she could try it for a few minutes as the performance began, then she would have dinner.
She said she suddenly noticed that the performance was ending, it had been an hour, and she had not thought of food or anything else. The music had CONSUMED her.
I watched it twice the first night i found this.... And every night after for most of month
Thats exactly how I felt seeing them live! Really made me lose all sense of time until I suddenly realised the show was over. Also being that kind of guy when I'm old is some life goal ngl
this is what a ritual does..
I was at work on lunch break, lunch break was way longer than 30 minutes that day, just sat in my shop and watched this entire thing
Cleveland!
Whoever was responsible for recording, mixing and mastering this is literally the best audio engineer to ever have existed.
Amen. I've just got some Beyerdynamics headphones, chills I'm getting from what I'm hearing are incredible.
That's Christopher Juul, the guy on the left with the audio equipment.. he is an audio engineer and live masters during the show. That's why they always sound so good live. He also controls the looping, sound effects, and all the mics, all while singing and playing himself..

all my life. Being a misplaced person of Norwegian heritage I did not know what
I was looking for till I found this. Music like this usually just puts me to
sleep but not this. Very powerful! Thank you.
Misplaced person? Whatever that means, perhaps I can send a little comfort. From outdoor Norway, quiet song, some of the lyrics are from the Eddas and believed to be 1400 years old: ruclips.net/video/YWE9LDIuA0M/видео.html and here is Einar Selvik in another song which is a bit wild, lyric in Old Norse: ruclips.net/video/aqhhlmz6gik/видео.html and a song performed by Eivør from Faroese Island but performed in Norway: ruclips.net/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/видео.html . Greetings from Denmark :-)
@@Randi-k6m I think he talks about not belonging.
Same here, though I'm only forty. My grandparents came to USA, and their culture was largely dissolved in the English culture, though there was some revival in their old age, for whatever reason. So at least I knew some of the old songs (Some of the old Norwegian songs are among the oldest in northern Europe), which weren't taught to my elder siblings.

Just the fact that you're 72 and able to use youtube is impressive.
What's your favourite Twitch stream? :P
This is almost beyond words.. it really shows how much people miss their connection to the earth.
🌿🌿🧙♂
it's is not so much about connection to earth but a connection to the gods and ancenstral tradition
tbh in overall human history, this stuff wasn't that far away, we should be allowed to let out our stress in different ways, even these "olden" ones, especially under todays overarching system that is Capitalism, which requires you to be a wage slave and just consume products all the time, stress is plentiful now.
@@sonnymery4193 Earth is as much a piece of God as the terminology you claim is the real deal. Earth is a little piece that we are capable of perceiving. So yes, it technically is a connection to earth, the creator, everything in between.. There is no matter of a fact.. It's a connection to everything that matters.
More like connecting to our ancestors!

The Los Angeles concert had Indigenous Americans blessing the stage it was amazing!
Fuck yeah!!!
Rico's Roughnecks in San Francisco as well. And, the tribes performed with them at the end. It was so beautiful, I almost cried at the end, and I don’t cry. I’m visually African-American, but have other ingredients as well. I went with my Norwegian friend. I wasn’t the only one. There were Polynesian, Hispanic, and Native-American people there that I noticed. It was a beautiful, human experience. 😊
oh i can't wait to see this in NYC.
@@Nubianette It definitely was a beautiful experience very spiritual. All colors and creeds were there. I felt like it was pilgrimage to go see them live. Although, I have no German or Norwegian ancestry, I am more Native to the American continent, I felt their vibrations and good energy around me and over the whole atmosphere in the concert grounds as well. No matter what creed you are this is something any spiritual or shaman around the world could connect to. It was a raw human experience.
@@Nubianette this. Right. Here.
did you feel it? that moment when something ancient inside you suddenly reawakens and fills you with profound longing for all that we have lost?

Massive respect to the audio engineer and the team. There's got to be 30+ Microphones up there they've got to track along with the Direct inputs from the keyboards, guitars, bass, vocals, drum kit, etc.). So much is going on and everything is perfectly processed, EQ'd, and balanced. Since the recording was taken straight from the mixer, I'm going to guess they maybe pulled about 16 to 32 bus tracks from mics/inputs for all the instrument and vocal groups along with an audience bus just to make things manageable in post production. Maybe he didn't group anything to bus tracks at all. I'm sure there was further mixing and mastering in the studio for some finishing touches though. The job was done perfect and the right way from the start. Fucking Primal and Raw. I can feel my ancestral genes and feelings screaming inside and fighting against the shitty conditioning of this corrupt and twisted western society. I truly love all of you, my brothers and sisters out there.
Cleanest concert recording I've ever heard, hat off!
I know right? I’d shoot myself. Haha that’s a hell of a lot.
Seriously lol you know how hard it is to keep all that percussion in rhythm? Ty sound guy 🙌
I've never heard a recording of a live show that sounded this good. I like it better than the studio version. It's insanely good.
I’d like to enjoy more live performances, but oftentimes the ones I see on RUclips are recorded with a potato and the quality takes away from the experience. I’m better off not watching those videos. This is not the case for this one.
I just need you all to know something. I just watched one of the very first Heilung interviews (post Futha release) and learned that this was literally the FIRST TIME ANY OF THEM STEPPED ON A STAGE TOGETHER. YES, you read that right.
That's astounding! Thanks for sharing!
So this is some kind of viking jazz?

Years later still here. And it's my workout ritual
Only problem I have with this, is I can only give one thumbs up on RUclips. Heilung are reaching places that audio has yet to discover. Each song is a journey, each lyric is a direction and then, we are all left at the same destination at the end. Astounded.
Audio has already been there. WE lost this music because of the holy Roman empire.
When the music is so metal it doesn't even need guitar or bass.
Budget Wargamer its more metal than black metal
TOP comment, Bro !!!!! ;-)
Maybe the other way round? People like you and me love metal, coz it's that archaic and full of primordial natural power, beauty and magic? Just an idea.
Drum music. ;-) But, calling it metal is perhaps a misnomer. It is stone and bone and fur and muscle and sinew.
I would say this music is more wood than metal.

t.: saw them live
It's a fantastic musical tribute and connection to the history and people of northern europe, but it's also a very practiced and meticulous performance that allows everyone involved to make a living. The trappings of paganism are a part of that performance but it's not based on any one religion or ritual in particular.
It is spiritual in my opinion, but only in the sense that all music that provokes emotion is spiritual, which'll come down to how you as the individual percieve it.
I feel it too!
Thanks Cherri Fingers!

I'm 33 and never before this have I ever experienced something spiritual I have cried for the first time in years this band these amazing people have changed me
I don't know what it is, but the sheer appearance of Maria Franz is the most beautiful thing, I've seen in a long time ... you can easily imagine a foreign tribe fearing the spiritual power of a shaman women with her appearance. Like a spirit of the forest with unimaginable spiritual energy, easily able to turn the fate in her tribes favour ... Its magical
This is exactly why our women were suppressed by Christianity and the direct reason for the witch trials.
Now image a world today were this role was recreated in society, no more feminism etc or women competing with men, just actually strong women playing the role of the goddess freo or sif as a man fufills the role of the god ingvi freyr/ woden or thunor
@@callummason6589 no more would it be a battle of the sexes it would be an acceptance of each other's roles in nature and how we complimente one another instead of the Christian ideal of dominance and subservience
@@aaroncoulson3409 The christian ideal was both sexes complimenting one another. Kind of the whole point of the early texts.
@@aaroncoulson3409 the original idea was two halves of a whole. Balance.
@@callummason6589 The witch trials were carried out centuries after the Norse were converted to Christianity and the alleged witchcraft had little to do with the shamanic religions of the north. Women had from the beginning been elevated in Christianity far above what the pagans managed, particularly in Greek and Roman society. Throughout the Middle Ages, women were revered as saints, doctors, and spiritual women, not to mention the deep devotion to Mary that characterized the period. It was only during the Enlightenment when philosophers elevated the ancient Greek tradition over the Christian tradition that women were placed in subservient roles practically and philosophically. As others have said here, woman was created from the side of man, co-equals with him in his place in the Cosmic Order and co-heirs of the Image of God and eternity.
This is a Ceremony, not a concert... bless the bones, healing to everyone!
They call their shows rituals, and witnessing one in real life it truly is a ritual.
@non pop radio 18.7 fm Griswold Rituals are shows... they are visionary, musical, otherworldly, and those who attend often have spiritual experiences... So it isn't wrong that they refer to their shows as rituals. One could have a spiritual experience just listening to the music created through the ritual.

@@ericcolella6484 Kai, Maria and Chris are normal people with hobbies. They're not some rich, ridiculously lavish lifestyle leaders who just made Heilung to sell tickets and pretend they're vikings, ya know. Like most of the rest of the "viking metal" out there. They actually study their historical roots, given that they're, ya know, FROM Scandinavian heritage, and lands. Most of their music isnt even about Vikings, it is about people and beliefs and gods that far predated the viking age.
Didnt realize i was on a natural high from this until a HECKIN COMMERCIAL came on and totally harshed my buzz

I saw them live recently. They are great in the video, but today their shows are even more overwhelming.
And they seem more relaxed! When i saw them the extra background people jumped and danced around, even jumped on the audience during the last song lmao
I still can't believe this was a live performance. Just perfect.
Hello... My video is quite good. Is it ok with you?
Nothing compared to live! It's stronger and more alive in person. Maria will make the hair stand up on ya body listening to her sing.
It was their _first_ live performance. If you can believe that.
@@UndercoverNormiewas it really?!?!? Unbelievable!
@@SammyGirl888 Yep, the first one. Someone told me "take a look at this video, it's their first perfomance and it's great"
i've never taken mushrooms and sat in a forest while listening to music...
but this kinda makes me want to take mushrooms, sit in a forest and listen to music
Red Rock show is slated to be that show.
I have done all three, just never all at the same time, this needs to be rectified!...
Go ahead n do it ;)
@jgoertzen27 If you do, be prepared to gain a higher understanding of how life, death, and the universe are all intricately entwined. You won’t regret your journey.
I've done it, it's absolutely amazing, yu feel like you are part in nature and your inner animal becomes one with it
what did i just watch? i saw the thumbnail and just ended up watching the whole thing, this took me completely by surprise and was the most insane thing i've seen in a while. this was definitely a good accident to stumble on. the vocals and the drums and how there were basically no samples with everything being performed live was extremely impressive. i mean i've heard wardruna before and i love Runaljod Gap Var Ginunnga but this was so good. i cant believe this kind of thing exists in the world and i need to experience this.
This music hit me hard and the only way I can describe it is that it felt like home. It feels like a memory that I never had. These were my people in a past life and this band woke up something in me I didn't know was there. I have German and Irish background but I never put much thought into it.
I remember very clearly the first moment I heard Heilung. It was 2 years ago. I seen specifically this show, this video. My boyfriend told me, sit down and just listen. Oh Lord! I wasn´t ready enough. The whole show I just sit and listen without breath, my eyes was never so focus and my heart so open. My soul felt peace and home for the first time. I cried. It was my lowest and darkest time of my life and this basically showed me the way to go through. I was fighting and I survived.
Could you give me the lyrics to this song? in Finnish and English, I'm Peruvian PLEASE

disregard comments that this is a hippie Band - I grew up in the Sixties. 1) there was NEVER any band like this in the 60's . 2) The hippies were a phenomena of the era of sexual revolution, protest of Vietnam & other wars yes but, this band Heilung reaches FAR BACK into a neolithic type of energy that was left undiscovered by the 'Hippie' Movement. 3) we have never before been in this particular moment, where we have the potential to Literally turn earth into a barren rock, this & other things are what the music of Heilung touches on.
Were some truly great hippie "bands" back in those days. Esp the funny David peel & the lower east side.
Like you I grew up with the hippie thing (in the UK so a bit behind the US wave). Nothing as visceral or essential as this and, as you say, this music taps deeper than deep into our shared heritage. Got pretty tired of the whole hippie trippy stuff very quickly but garage bands, Beefheart, Blue Cheer et al kept the interest alive. And here we are with music that really penetrates deep into you heart soul and bones and gives you a glimpse of what it's really meant to be about
Hippie band! Are you people retarded or completely stupid??? Seriously! Anyone that compares this to a 'hippie' band is a fucking idiot-period. Period!!! Period!!!
@@erichutchison3659 Pretty sure none of us are guilty of suggesting Heilung is a hippie band - not sure where that came from but it is of course complete bollocks
And saying "a phenomena" instead of "a phenomenon" is a phenomenon of uneducated, ignorant morons who can't bother telling singular and plural apart when using fancy words beyond their mental horizon.
People: "Nothing beats a good guitar solo!"
Maria: "Hold my hide drum, and let me sing you the song of my people!"
This concert moves me to my core every time I listen to it. So grateful for this powerful vibe of ancestry and magic coming alive now!
This is one of those "Wish I'd been there moments"I'm 70 years old and seen and heard all kinds of music..This is just music for the soul.EPIC.Just ordered the CD from Amazon.Wish there was aDVD or BlueRay.
Just save and watch this. No DVD needed.
RUclips's compression looks like ass on a good TV though. I would buy this on blu-ray in a heartbeat. :)
maria with the incredible voice is norwegian due to wikipedia
Alexandra Bader German I thought
Kudos to you for not only listening to the same music forever. Gotta keep finding new stuff. Keeps us young.
Bronse age techno party. 1300 - 1200 bc. Colorized.
With microphones ;)
I found this group quite by accident and it was perhaps the best accident I have ever had. Perhaps we are of the few who see this as I do. This is primal and stirs that part of our DNA, and I am pleased as well as being astonished by the following this band has. The theatrical performance just adds a new dimension to their performance.
Agreed. I'm glad i stumbled upon this group. Everything happens for a reason haha
Roger, agreed 1000%
their music evokes such a primal feeling, summoning the gods or ancient spirits, Beautiful........
I don't know what it is, but there's something about this kind of music that makes me feel absolutely *alive.*
There are some things which should be immune to ads. This is most certainly one.
not sure exactly how I did it but I refreshed a couple times and all of the ad segments disappeared.
Get youtube adremoval app.
RUclips red my friend
Pay for premium. It’s worth it. Completely uninterrupted.
AdBlock is your friend. Free, easy to get, and saves a lot of time and aggravation
Would rather just buy a dvd of this than sit through RUclips’s disrespectful ads.
AdBlock.
Spotify I heard is free and doesn't do this BS. I'm tryn it now
@@xIronMikex Spotify free have ads right? Even if you pay spotify, they dont get shit of the money (most of the pot goes to main-stream bands). I suggest to pay them directly in bandcamp (or similiar), and enjoy also this video with good conscience, despite using adblock.
see heilung.bandcamp.com/
Those "Disrespectful ads" go towards the creators, you know, the people you're listening to, for free, and while you can just buy a DvD I wonder just how many people would have heard of these if it were not for RUclips.
Went to Glasgow to see the ritual tonight and it was fantastic,pure energy
Its so crazy that the name of their band is "Healing." Because thats EXACTLY what its doing for me in my life, in the biggest way. Bless all of you.
U know it's good music when you get goosebumps on your arms
U know it's a ritual when ur whole body gets goosebumps for 90 minutes
the blood remembers the old times
You know its a possession when you get out of the house after hearing this while wearing your pyjamas and some branches in your head
@@tiagocardoso6749 they ain't branches lol. I think they antlers
@@AlchemistOfHecate 😂
Try and listen/watch this show after consuming mushrooms. I've heard it's intense 😂
I don't know what this feeling is, I just know my heart is beating to every drum beat and I feel as a door inside of me is trying to open, and the scent of something that I somehow yearn, lies behind it
Patricio 8a Because it's everyone's heritage in Europe and in the entire world: it brings you back and helps you to remember your roots. We all started there: in perfect balance with nature. All these ancient cultures were deeply spiritual and in harmony with existence itself. It's nice to see that this kind of music is getting more and more attention nowadays: it brings back soul memories to many of us and reminds us our true origins. :) Peace, friend!
@Philip Arbon people just take life for granted and not even loving themselves
I know what you mean. I came across this music by accident. I've never felt so transcended, so... I really don't have words for the feelings this invokes because I don't think I've ever felt this before.. I want to dance and cry and love and cover myself in mud and howl and other things I don't even know what yet.
It is the raising of the kundalini. Hail Enki!
@@talith334 pięknie ujęte
My daughter and i were there last night and some of these songs brought me to tears.
I felt honoured to be among those to see Heretan performed live for the first time.
I never found Maria Franz's vocals in English to be remarkable, but hearing her in a native language it may be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
It is funny to see them in the older music videos. Like they were trying on costumes, but now, on this stage, the costumes are gone.
She sings beautifully in any language. She is more thank "remarkable"
@@fernandoblengio She comes so close to kulning, then brings something brutal and real and bloody into it, something that screams "our gods are real".
It is so soothing yet so enraging! You feel astral and earthbound at the same time. You feel like a parent who lost their child, but also like one that is marching to war to protect all there is to protect.
I love the musicians of course, but I would like to say the lighting and camera work was outstanding!
Definitely one of the highlights of the show.
The whole thing is a masterpiece in my opinion
True DAT!!! They had amazing material to start with. The camera crew are top notch. And who ever did the soundboard mixing..... maybe the soundboard was being worked by Thor himself.
The film crew truly outdid themselves for this. Amazing work.
There isn't a single song during this performance that I don't like. I've listened to this show and the individual songs more time than I can now count.
Me too. Usually when it comes to bands there are songs that I don't like but this is an exception.
a Freebird cover sung in Old English led me here. Every once in a while the RUclips algorithm delivers a real gem. I feel like sacking York now.
seeing heilung live is now at the top of my bucketlist!
ohh if they come to the UK i will be there...
Do it. this experience hits different!
I’m from China. I love Heilung’s style. They combine traditional indigenous singing skill and modern music. Love it.
Hello China from the old Saxon England with love ;D
it feels to me more of an interpretation of what those ancient people sang. chanted and drummed to~ sounds like it has more heart to it than others that try the same thing :D
@@karypogi Its made today
@@karypogi Literally everything.
Interviewer: So how did the idea of this band came to be?
Band: 24:06
Hahaha
the best comment ever kkkkk
MUSHROOOOOMS!
lmfao
Márton Tóth hahahah
I was raised an American episcopal, but this way of life and beliefs are a huge part of who I am, it makes me feel connected to the past and my ancestors like nothing else can
For those who are confused on the time frame of what this is representing, it's not necessarily "Vikings," and more or less not Neolithic.
It's Proto-Germanic she's singing here, and in most of their music. It's Pre-Migration Period, 600 years before the Vikings, ~1st Century CE til ~550 when Elder Futhark broke into Younger Futhark. It's based on historical linguistic reconstruction and snippets of text found archeologically and through Tacitus & Saxo Grammaticus, some of which were carved in runes on bone fragments, or described pejoratively by Latin writers, who described the throat singing as like "howling dogs," when it would sound provisionally like in this video, inferred by the Sammi, Mongol, Indigenous Greenland, and Faroese traditions which survived the ages relatively unchanged.
Then they kinda do this English language "rap," which is based on descriptions of Galdralag and Seiðalag -- no surviving examples of which exist outside of very, very scant snippets in the Poetic and Prose Edda, and in descriptions by Saxo Grammaticus and possibly by Tacitus. The low growling and hissing, the forked fingers, is based on descriptions of Seiðr magic. That kind of image survived in the inspiration of "witches" which Christians were afraid of deeply, who were real people practicing a similar indigenous artform, and came to become an abstracted meme of its own that evolved & mutated into the 21st century in a vague smear of pop culture idioms.
Nice copypasta. You should mention the original commenter really.
Fernando Blengio I thought it was from 2017. J/k. Thanks for the explanation.
@@nvandermark3517 if you truly had a problem with him repeating an already spoken thought or words, you would never say another thing for all we utter has been spoken before by somebody else. And if you see these words as oxymoron in nature, blame yourself for its just an interpretation of your own words. We learn by repetition. Repeating thoughts, ideas and words taught by those who have come before ourselves while interpreting them through our personal perception to comprehend in our own understanding. You are better than none as i. You are your own. You only fight yourself. You and your ilk psychologically project all your insecurity onto others. Those of us who have the eye to see see you no matter what you use to hide of yourselves from yourselves and others. Nobody exposes you more than you in what you willingly choose to show of yourself. But alas, this post is useless in its intent for you won't learn.
Zasca!
Basically, it's around the time that Roman Empire came into contact with the Scandinavian tribes.
I want the entire tribe to come together for one night
Heilung
Wardruna
Danheim
Aurora
Fawn
If all of them did one huge collaboration with their music it would be epic
If they all did a collab, in a forest of a strong Earthly nodal point, I'm pretty sure it would open up the veil the rest of the way. And i know which one they ALL need to perform together: "Svanrand" and "Narupo"
@@StarkAngel extended version of Helvegen would envoke the old gods and spirits of the forest.
we can dream...
also recommend Siberian Shamanic Band - Nytt Land
This entire performance is an amazing accomplishment. The pieces are all visceral and pounding, the chanting is mesmerizing, the drumming is over-powering. Maria Franz in particular has an amazing voice for this type of work. Her laser-like control of every vocalization, for what is clearly a physically and psychically demanding performance, serves to emphasize and reinforce the amazing spiritual and ethereal nature of the entire set. The final piece is a solid sound wall of driving percussion and a healing vocal benediction of life itself. The performers, artists, and technical crew of Heilung, including the walk-on warriors, have created something truly amazing and timeless. A visual and auditory feast that projects directly into the soul of the audience. I feel cleansed and energized every time I listen to this live presentation from Heilung. Stunning. Simply outstanding. Thank you so much.
I have found that l have to listen to this full version at least twice a day. It frees me. I have returned to things l had long ago put aside, and when l do these things l feel no pain. Your rituals gave me the power and ability to start again. May the Allfather keep you all in his hands..
There is an old zen saying, water is water regardless of the container. Heilung has made me realize that primal energy is primal energy regardless of which culture contains it.
Indeed my brother it is.
Yes. Hence my/our fascination with native Americans as well as indigenous cultures as a whole. Wisdom that aligns with creation and it’s mysteries.
Man is waaay older than what is taught in school
I like your wisdom. All expressions of reality are a sound that never leaves nor changes, we simply travel through those sounds as our own wave of exisitance.
Yes but don't forget...
We've CULTURE TOO! No matter what the world says we "stole"
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

This is a powerful experience only sitting in my living room, must be mindblowing to see the show live. When I first saw Maria in her costume, my impression was: This is not a human being, this is more like a forest spirit or something. What an intriguing expression of femininity.
My sentiments exactly. I am a Slav however, and in Slavic lore many spirits are malicious, if not deadly enemies of man. Some are the vengeful, sad or lonely spirits of people who died prematurely or tragically. However, the lady herself is very intriguing.
I not zactly sure what the git up was called, but I once saw a Caddo woman in full Regalia.......looked a whole lot like the Chick....
my wife and I saw them last night live here in Pennsylvania.... it was mythical, truly.
@@aircooledalex Seen them in Asheville before you and I didn't want it to stop. Then I wanted to just leave with them to stay. Definitely a life altering experience that'll never leave your memory 💯🐾🌕🐺
Oh my gods. We just saw them in Detroit and I can confirm, it was the experience of a lifetime
When the live show sounds even more incredible than the album, you know you've found some magic... so awesome.
1 year later... still here, on a weekly basis, this is so good... omg...
Firstly I am healing, secondly, what is the audience doing; when I listen to Heilung I am dancing all around my yard. I can’t commit to a “seat” when they come to USA Maryland. I feel so much love for you all. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
They were expecting punk rock but got something else entirely
This is like a fire, it connects with all of us on a prehistoric level.... you just feel it like it was always there.
Let's go raiding again. Burn, Plunder, Kill.
Interesting. I feel the echo of the wild land and mountains and deep forest in the night.
Different perspectives.
its there watching are roots all come from the same seed.
❤YEAAASSSS!!!!!
Call it Pagan, or pre-Christian religion, but it is also unity of tribes going back to hunter-gatherer days. Nothing in modern life integrates mind-body like chants and drums. We need this, I believe, to experience the re-enchantment of daily life going back to our tribal roots.
I just had an out of body experience listening to this masterpiece. The enchanting voices, the sound of the drums...I was completely mesmerized. This is my first experience listening to this group which I never heard before. I felt connected, it brought tears to my eyes. The female vocalist was heavenly...the way her vocal cords sang like an angel. Thank you for this performance, I will never forget it.
Wow! Not only is your comment exactly how I felt but I just found them 9 days ago too. I am going to see them Aug 30th now.
@@kristopherb8046 I just recently discovered them and immediately looked up their tour schedule too!
Out of body experience...? Welcome to the club... :)
An aethir, darling, not angels, we don't speak of the christian beings
It blows my mind that this is their first concert together as Heilung.
That blew me away too.

Apparently they only had 3 days to prepare as well!
