HEILUNG comment: “'Drif' means 'gathering,' a throng of people, a horde, a crowd, a pack. In symbiosis with the album title, 'Drif' consists of a flock, a collection, a gathering, a collage of songs, that much like little flames were seeking towards each other, to join, to bond, to create, and be greater together. This album has very clearly dictated its own path. Our attempts to tame it was repeatedly fruitless and once we came to this realization, the creative flow surged forward with immense force, so much so that sometimes it felt like the songs wrote themselves. All the songs on 'Drif' have their own stories. They have each their place and sense of belonging, with inspiration not only from Northern Europe, but from the ancient great civilizations.”
This is beautiful. And how music is supposed to be in my opinion. Thank you so much for your music. It means a world to me that someone creates music that literates me so much that sometimes I need to be careful to not "fly away ". Can't wait to see you guys on Kraków Tauron Arena
My wife had been listening to Heilung for some time and had been trying in vain to get me to listen. I'm a thrash/death metal fan but I bought tickets for Heilung for her and I to go. The show was one week ago today and.... I never expected how deeply seeing and hearing Heilung would make me feel ... and now I can't stop listening.
So many people in modern society are walking around ungrounded… feeling an emptiness that cannot be filled. This album heals the soul by connecting us all to a primitive feeling that most cannot put into words. True masterpiece. This is exactly what the world needs ♥️
I fully agree. I look into peoples eyes and they almost seem like a part of their human soul has been lost.. like there’s nothing there.. and even more so a disconnection between mother and baby as we are told they must be independent from day one.. and as adults don’t receive support we need when we need it. We have created a world of disconnection and aloneness..
My favorite is Buslas Bann, and I took the time to decipher the Runic lyrics into the Roman alphabet, so I can sing along.

Anoana made something awaken in me. I just felt like I was somewhere else for a moment...and started to cry for no reason. Not a sobbing cry, more of an unexplained welling up and feeling like my soul just went on a 100 year journey and came back.
Im a proud Chicano from San Diego and found Heilung when I took a deep dive into Viking history, culture and traditions. While I am grounded in my own cultural traditions, I absolutely see how this can help others heal allowing themselves to be fully themselves. When all cultures can be authentically shared with respect and love, I think we all become better people for it. Thank you Heilung for daring to be authentically yourselves, were all richer for it.
i just saw them in concert on Tuesday, they didn't take a single break and played for two hours straight, just constantly moving and telling a story with the music, like they were acting out a play, it was beautiful
It's not a concert. It's an act, a story, as you said. They can't break up the story. I've been to one of their rituals, and people were confused how they came up to the stage, and left without saying anything to the public. I loved it, I understood it. I will go again when I get the chance, every time.
my son and DIL bought me tickets to the Dallas show around that time. it was stellar to say the least. it was well past the time for them to go on at the scheduled time bc ppl were still filing in. the announcer came and said they wanted to wait so that all of us could watch the entire show. it was nothing short of amazing
Это особо! Они в этом живут и растворяются и черпают силы и летят над землёй где то в высях. Они круты и единственные в своём роде! Спасибо говорим им! ❤
Found Heilung while searching Viking music. My late boyfriend of 14 years walked the Shamanic path. I am a witch. A healer. Recently learned I have more Northern Germanic, Nordic, Celtic heritage and the like than I thought. Heilung peels the layers of societal norms away from my skin as if it were cut with a dull knife. Ever painful yet deeply healing. Transformation and transmutation. Heilung brings me closer to my late boyfriend on levels I cannot express... For we shared multiple past lives. Forever grateful and humbled.
I'm so sorry about your boyfriend, that must have been hard. But now you have something beautiful that he gave you (and I assuming so much more) that you have to remember him by
I too was drawn to this music during the loss of my soulmate and I found healing, and a connection to something so primal and ancient within myself that I have no doubt I was guided by her.
Maybe you will also love Eivør from Färöer (Look for Trøllabundin and Verð min! And the live concert in Thorshavn!) and the music from Kaladra from Norway. Lots of spiritual moments! Sorry for your loss. I lost my viking man, too. But we are connected and he tries to lead me to a new love he told me. Also my passed away "wolf" is envolved (or enwolfed😉). Souls like you and me know about the big truth about live and death. ❤ I send you my very best wishes for healing your heart, success in connecting you to your asen and disen, to your ancestors and Gods, to your tribes and your essence. You will make it through, sister! 🥰 🙏🏻 🤗
After 17 years of being with us, our family cat died peacefully in our own home, without the need to hide. My mother took it really bad, I had to keep calm and take care of her, doing funerary rituals so she would process the death and calm herself. I surrounded the body with her favourite toys, flowers and treats, with two lit candles. She looked beautiful. I felt nothing for two days, repressing my sadness, and when I listened to Nesso it all came flowing. Funny how synchronicity works. It may sound silly, but thank you for helping me mourn.
I know exactly how you feel. Nesso spoke to me after losing one of our 4 sugar gliders a couple days ago...then that night, I got to see Heilung LIVE. The music helped me get through it. Sorry for your loss.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. I lost my father due to cancer two months ago, and listening to Nesso really soothed my soul. The first time hearing this song, I was in the train going to the funeral of my dad, and I understood that it was brought to me just in the right time to heal me from all the suffering of losing him. I also rencently lost my cat of 14 years old, found her dead in my kitchen, probably from a heart attack, and it broke my heart. Obviously I listened again to Nesso. She was such a lovely being and a day to day emotional support, I somehow couldn't imagine losing her. I gathered my father's and my life companion's ashes and made an altar for them, I put some flowers around them just like you did. It may seem strange but they just seem to be still alive, surrounding me with their love everywhere I go. Thank you for sharing your experience with the loss of a loved one, it really resonates with me. I hope you and your mother found a way to go past your grief, even though the memory of your fur baby will always be with you. xoxo ❤️❤️
You experienced the Shaman state. Your self was subsumed into the ether, while the "real" you did what it needed to do. You helped her soul be carried into the beyond. The sorrow that comes is payment, but something tells me you paid it gladly. Your deeds are noted. The spirits regard you well. That is a precious and beautiful thing; do not squander it. Blessings of spirit and man be upon you.
Although i know a few words I do not speak german(or any second language. gotta love the American school system) but i could tell it was a battle between two forces and that one side wanted basically a champion challenge but was met with a hail of arrows to which his side charged in anger as the battle fades i could hear the roars of soldiers and women screaming and what i can only assume was the destruction of a city
@@brandenward3463 teutoburg was a battle in which the tribes massacred 3 Roman legions. Each legion contained anywhere from around 3 thousand to 6 thousand soldiers and the roman death count was around roughly 20,000 dead. I think in total around 30,000 lives were lost. I could be wrong though. I'm sure someone here has a more accurate estimate.
Recently, I lost both of my parents in an accident, and I've been struggling with how to move forward. This brings such healing and clarity to me in such a broken time. Thank you.
I'm far less of a stranger to death than I'd ever liked to have been in this life, so my heart aches deeply empathizing with the raw tempest of grief, its colossal swells and its stinging and benumbing lulls that must be ebbing and flowing in your life right now. I've come to recognize the immense pain as a direct mirror to the depth of love we bare for those whose living presence we've been made bereft of, that this pain in all its almost unbearable gravity at times, is in itself rooted in love and is the direct reverberations of it, of the blessing of having got to know and love these special souls during our short time here in this strange and astounding place of being we're sharing. If what I'm saying is a fresh way of beholding your grief and loss, I hope the experience of witnessing and feeling that love inside the pain which wrings your heart, and so the tears from your eyes, is helpful and healing. If my words are of no use, pay them no mind and please forgive any feeling of trespass I may evoke in saying what I have and am. There is no wrong way to grieve, and it's important to honor your grief and this process. It's okay to struggle, to feel what you are. It's okay to be a mess, it's even okay to not be who you used to be before this loss if you're experiencing that. Some people in your life may not understand, and that's okay too, and it's also okay to draw boundaries with them if they fail you or cannot respect or understand the process you're going through. Honor your grief, it is the fire of your love for those whom you will love always... These are all things I wish I'd have been told and hope can be of use. Loss often really can be a truly arduous expeditionary slog of the soul, and if its of any help to hear, know that others have walked and are walking through this figurative underworld wilderness too. I'd gladly give you a hug if you needed one right now. Wishes of deep healing, insight and growth through this painful and metamorphic time in your life. And thank you for publicly sharing your loss.
@@TuskKult ...Thank you. I've been contemplating how to transmutate this current feeling into a way to pass on anything of my own experiences on to my own children. I am still at a loss for how to process all of the swirls of emotion, but every day I wake up and try to figure out how to do what needs doing, while not losing myself in the turmoil. I'd sat with the dying on multiple occasions, but none of that prepared me for this particular loss. It's made me more vulnerable than I would like to admit. I've always seen myself as "strong" but that's a mask of sorts. I'm temporary, as we all are. What can we leave behind? What can we do to help those who come after us? It's these questions that keep me up at night these days. Thank you for your words, they matter.
Keltentrauer ("Celt's Grief") English Lyrics (Or verses, since it's a poem, not a song) Idly the hills lie under the sigil of the dawn. Idly the fog moves through the valleys treetops emerging from it. STAND STILL! Legions stand at the ready, in red-silver Roman armors. Then, the sun shines across the horizon, and a long, wailing horn sounds. Again and again it does. Hesitantly first, then stronger, drum songs arise, then finally the Carnyx resounds, and far its echo reverberates. Quite a few Legionnaires force their knees to calm down. Then, the forest begins to cough them forth, first in bigger groups, then in twos and threes. Magnificent they are to look at, as they stand there, proud and well armored, in the morning light. Many helmets crowned by the boar may it be of iron, or of leather. The deer, too, on their armor, mustn't be missing, wolf and bear, they are kindred souls. Freshly polished is the shield, And with the longsword, the hero stands. On long pikes, banners flutter bravely, as, even now, ghastly taunts sound. STAND STILL! Still are the eagles on the other side, only the cloaks of the riders waft. And so, the Keltoí army gathers, calls echo back and forth, then suddenly, all goes silent, and a great warrior steps from their midst. He removes his helmet and visor, his pants, and his leg armor, too, until he stands naked in the morning grass, with only necklace, shield and sword. And as he strides across the meadow, he is accompanied by shield drums and song. Determined, he stops before the prettiest golden armor and announces to the enemy commander: "Before you! Stands the lord of the Cherusci! And I tell you, let us not spill blood in vain! Send your strongest fighter onto me. Man against Man! Only him, and me! If he wins, we shall give way. But should I win, you must leave." Silent, his opponent takes in his speech, only his horse prances and heaves, and, with a nod, death rains, wooden hornet stings, into the Keltoí's chest, and colors it red. And as he topples over and falls, a MIGHTY roar rises! It's his brothers in arms who yell there, they want to rid themselves of their anger! Thrown aside are helmet, armor and chain mail, they would have only hindered us in battle! Drums and Carnyxes sound, again, loud, raw songs of the sword! Neighing, one drives to the front, loud his cry echoes to every ear, as his adorned arm swings his blade, and the other guides his horse. "Onward, onward, my brothers! Sing the war songs of our ancestors! Drench your blades in Roman blood! For only so, the wrath of the gods shall be quenched!" Like a projectile, he rushes toward the enemy And the projectile becomes a rain. They all ride and run to break the shield wall, and to avenge their dead chieftain. Each carriage rips a hole into the wall, all which close again, there's far to many of them. Like water calms after a stone falls in, the Roman lines stand steady and unharmed. By the time the Keltoí army reaches them, the Romans have already managed, to reestablish their rows, in order to cheat the Keltoí out of victory. And heed! An enormous massacre commences! Among human sons who don't honor each other. They RIP and TEAR and MAIM each other! Soiled with blood, in the face of death, Hating one another! Once he carried on his belt the heads of his enemies, with pride, now, it's his own that rolls. And all those, who came running eagerly, are now huffing, legs lost, The one, who carried the spear with skill, is now robbed of his pretty hands and shield, and the proud chest is now suffering, under stings to the heart, and loss of blood. The waiting and taunting of the Romans has worked to their advantage. Without any chance to win, the naked hordes throw themselves into their swords. They retreat, giving themselves up to death, for being imprisoned would be so much worse. Weaker now, the Carnyxes sound, and visibly, Keltoí standards fall into the grass. Only the eagles still loll above, and the Roman formation has not the slightest dent. They stand, red and unwavering, With this, the commander is very pleased. Before him, the Keltoí leader has been dragged, He cares not even for his name. Mortally wounded the poor man, once proud, who now can only crawl before the Roman. "Ah! If only I had not grown up! Never had been born! It would have been better for me than to crawl before you, on the ground! Vale Victis! Woe to those conquered, who lie in the dust before Romans!" Now, there's nobody left to protect wife, and child, and home. The Roman eagle probably appreciates it. It surges up, and leaves a blood trail throughout the land, which to us is now known as Gaul. _____________________ You're welcome.
This was a gathering of spirits, chants, songs from out of hieroglyphs. Innate voices , caves, wild sacred spaces opening. The warrior poem and song was such a vivid escape from the sacral songs . When wolf and bear were alike and wore their furry mantles, called out their clan songs that humans one fine day might finally learn to understand and respect. Blessed is the being, the kindred spirit called HEILUNG, Thank you, tusen hjertlig takk!! greetings from Norway
4,000 ancestors in ten generations. Hundreds of thousands in a millennium. Every one fought, suffered, loved, and struggled with us in mind today. Today, you may think yourself to be alone - but you are not. It is only very recently that we descendants of Northern Europe have forgotten this. Do not forget, and remember that it is never over. We are forever Nordic, forever Celtic, forever Germanic peoples. I'll tell a little story about blood. I never knew my father. Never knew his name or saw his picture. I lived my life and he was not known to me at all. And I was a hobo, I traveled the US for 5 years, sleeping under the stars, riding freight trains and hitchhiking. Later, I joined the military and applied to forestry school. Finally I made contact with my father, and we spoke on the phone. I wasn't angry. I asked him - what is most important for me to know? He said "That you are a Scot of the McKintyre Clan." This man had spent 40 years on the road, traveling as I had, unbeknownst to me, and his father was a nomadic sheepherder. The McKintyre Clan were known to be fantastic soldiers and above all, foresters. There we have it - blood spoke through me, as a traveler, as a soldier, and now as a forester. We are never alone.
My great great grandfather was a mountaineer and explorer. The men on my dad's side have all been gifted with that same sense of exploration and wandering. We are wanderers. Not gifted in many skills, but we all have this nagging sense of exploration that haunts us. It's hard to settle down, find a career or job I can stick with, because that need to change things up is always there. Roamers, wanderers, travelers. It's in my DNA.
FINALLY. The neighbors are gonna LOVE how this sounds on my home theater system. I know I'm already invested emotionally on every track I've gotten access to before today. From one drummer to a group of Rhythm specialists, the heart BEAT of the world and every living creature on this side or the other rejoices in euphoric delight in your presence HEILUNG. B Blessings from the ancient ones and may mother moon take you SO MUCH FURTHER IN THE FUTURE.
I can relate, I wanna put this to 3000 watts on my Sundown X 12 after I get my car fixed and let it roar loud and clean for a mile in each direction 🔊🔊🔊🔊
I was tired, upset and at this very sad time in my life, I closed my eyes at about the first minute and 20 seconds... And it was as if I had found something long lost, something that I didn't even remember losing or that I had already resigned myself to not finding it, I wish I could be more precise with the emotion I felt... Sorry for not being more precise and thank you for making such beautiful music.
I like to think of unexplained 'emotion' as our DNA expressing itself -- we don't know why we respond certain ways, sometimes, but our DNA was designed through many many thousands of years, it has 'seen some sh*t' as they say.
Music tis old magic my brother, tis your soul responding to something it remembers, something that it craves and something that is finally starting to wake up again after far too long, embrace it, we are to live in interesting times :D
Heilung albums are not only a work of art, they're human history represented and preserved. It's more than music, it's a historical tool that takes us to ages past of humankind.
no. dont get me wrong i love heilung and other "pagan" style music band but its far from what ancestor was listening , its viking themed pop culture musics .
@fanch22480 precisely The old vikings have only drums 🥁 and horns no other instruments. Later centuries, there came in contact with slavic people and roman Constantinopel in the south and in the North keltic tripes., flute, and pipes. vikings are more Scandinavian countries there have nothing do to with German tripes there are more related to the huns from the east of Europe. great music dont get me wrong, but there want to change the historical facts The TENET symbol is a mystical Roman pre-Christian origin and has simply nothing do to with vikings The Netflix serie Barbarians is the most wrong historical managed serie ever in the industry full of wrong assumptions and doesn't base on facts but more on fantasie
@@ChrisTenalach77777 while it is true, that this is not a traditional music in any way, but theater, a lot of the other things you said were very wrong. the scandinavian people were very closely related to the german tribes, as can easily be reconstructed by their languages and their religion and the cultures we see in archeological findings. there is no clear division between scandinavians and german tribes. the huns on the other hand basically didn't exist, but are likely a foreign word for a number of different riding cultures in the east. none of them is by any means likely to have spoken a german language or anything remotely related to it, instead turk languages or atalic languages are likely. we simply don't know for sure, because none of them can be surely identified. finally, i don't see how you put vikings and german tribes in the same age, since at the time the vikings became a thing, basically no german tribes as such existed anymore, vikings being a purely medieval phenomenon. it is very likely the vikings had a lot of different music instruments they raided, including the slaves to play them. on the other hand we have findings of flutes as early as 200 ad in scandinavia and i have personally seen depictions of lurs in sweden from at least 500 bc.
I had the honour to be at the release at Midgardsblot and this album is just magical. It gives me shivers and resonates with my deepest self. Thank you Heilung for sharing your gifts with the world. Healing is exactly what this world needs.
Nikkal has got to be the most beautiful acapellas I've ever heard. Started crying when the harmonies coincide with one another. I'm speechless, honestly. I have no words.
I know Maria does some other music, but her work in Heilung is truly a gift to the world. There are a couple of Heilung songs I don't like as much, but the majority of your music is some of my favorite to listen to of everything ever made. I listen to a *lot* of different genres of music, sung by boys and girls. Maria's voice is the most beautiful I've ever heard. It's not angelic. It's more like a nature spirit, either calming or empowering, and overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you so much to you all for sharing your music, instruments and all. I wish I could hug everyone in the band for the calmness and gift you've brought to me.
My Nordic family, we are all united by this music. Scandinavia and every kind of indigenous people, we are pagans, we worship celtic gods and we are proud of our folk. May you all be healthy.
I have lost both of my grandfathers this year to sickness. Nesso is a beautiful peace of music that I listened to before and after each of their passings. It comforted me so much and I can’t count how many times I’ve shouted and cried this song as a healthy way to cope with the grief I feel. Thank you so much Heilung. I can’t wait to see you in concert soon.
Heilung did it again. I can't find the right words for this pure awesomeness. I feel something that i can't describe, while listening to this beast of an album. I think we all feeling it.
I listened to the album for a long time, almost without a break, over and over again. I painted during the time of listening. Then i just indulged in thoughts as they came as i listened to the music. Finally, i just let myself fall into the music. It felt like a time of shifting that you go through unconsciously. But a change that develops insidiously and only slowly seeps into consciousness. Just like aging does. It speaks to me personally partly restlessness but also acceptance of what is coming, but also steadfastness . It is somehow also familiar. Do you know the inner feeling that keeps telling you:"Be patient, it's coming. Be patient, hang in there, get through it!"? That is exactly what I often feel in the middle of some songs. Alternating with restlessness, calming down, persevering, change and then again from the beginning and a few steps further. I love the music of Heilung. Even if there are pieces that leave me wondering or do not take me along as others. They always awaken something in an honest way. That's why i like the new pieces quite a lot. They somehow just fit into the world events. Well done Heilung and a big thank you for that. Many songs move ME very deep, not just my emotions..ME!
Я начала слушать Хайлунг, когда моей маме делали операцию, и то время было очень тяжёлым. Хайлунг вернул мне жажду жизни, силы и энергию. Звучание их музыки будто действует на самые древние стороны восприятия, пробуждает в тебе нечто настолько древнее, истинное и прочное, что помогает вставать и идти дальше. Потрясающие музыканты, преклоняюсь перед талантом 🥺🙏
if you don’t step outside in the moonlight, light a fire and plant your bare feet into the ground, wet grass between your toes, moist soil at your heel, raise your head and get lost into a dark starry night sky while listening-you’re missing out. go, listen, connect
Hardly _the very first_ song ever, people sung songs tens of thousands of years before that, but the Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal (from around 1200 to 1400 BCE) _is the oldest known_ recorded song / melody. It's hard to tell, but I think Heilung might have incorporated that melody into the Nikkal song.
@@TubususCZ I've discussed with other anthropologists the possiblity of singing having predated speech as we think of it, like a singing language. It was a good chat.
@@angrytrees7519 Isn't there a type of singing in India that is so ancient, no one knows where it originated from, and the words aren't language but mouth-music, and the singing patterns mimic bird song? Wish I remember the name or region so I could be more specific.
they are just shamanic truely healing us inside. europe was riche in knowleage ned heritage before the mass horror christianity which inverted many good things into evil..
Alle feiern das Album...meiner Meinung nach entfernen sie sich immer mehr von dem wunderschön düsteren, modrigen, dreckverschmierten erdigen Sound den Heilung für mich ausmachte. Klingt irgendwie alles zu sauber...zu elektronisch das Ganze...schade drum 🤔 nichts desto trotz tolles Album.
@@vandekruz nah most of you are just some American children with 5% Scandinavian DNA that u got from scam sites like Myheritage or other shit. Most of y'all never lived here or know anything besides the common knowledge Viking shit.
I’m not sure when the members of Heilung were given a drink of the Mead of Poetry, but that’s the only reason I can see for how talented these folks are. Amazing job as usual, if it doesn’t give me goosebumps, it’s not Heilung. ❤️
No one comes closer to taking arts to the next level musically than these guys. The songs wrote themselves, they said... the songs were bestowed upon us I say and they were the messengers. We are brothers and sisters, we are connected, Heilung is. the connection. Thankyou for your pain and joy.
Took my own cannabis trip laying down in bed last night with this album playing. Magical and felt my spirit above my body but I couldn't quite leave my physical body. Ah well, super great album and as expected for a group that uses shamanic vibes to be HEILUNG. ❤️🙏😍
By far, my favorite album so far! What I love most about Heilung is that they bring us all together! Went to the Dallas show and I was in awe of how diverse the crowd was. It was beautiful and I finally didn't feel so alone on this rock. Thank you for helping bring us together! 🙏
breaks the tension. going from you home being gnawed by arrow, newborn creaming ,then random funny man falls, back to the fear of another man's victory
I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite track on this album. But Urbani is simply on another level. The sounds used and the marching cadence being the surviving quote Caesar's own legionaries used during his triumph makes it so much more immersive. Amazing quality as always. "Ecce Caesar nunc triumphat, qui subegit Gallias, Nicomedes non triumphat, qui subegit Caesarem!"
My favorite sound is "Marduk". What an incredible performance! The shaman's whispers, of a strange but surprisingly pleasant musicality, transport us through the mysteries of the 50 names of Marduk. In the future, I hope you will continue to explore other wonderful ancient cultures besides those of the North !
I'm an American mutt from Texas. My ancestry is pretty diluted, but the overwhelming majority is from the Nordic regions. I never really gave any thought to culture, and largely dismissed it as simple tribalism - the us vs them mentality. Then I heard Aurora sing Helvegen with Wardruna, and it felt so ancient to me. I started listening to Wardruna, and then found Heilung... I don't understand Old Norse, but your music and the images speak to me in a way that I can't quite explain. It's also helped me to see the beauty in ancient traditions, and the importance that they hold for the people whose heritage they represent.
Just listened in for a sec, and almost immediately something in their music triggers something in my heart. Wasn't even in the mood, still got me. Shamans! Blessings upon you!
I had the most amazing experience at the Sydney ritual i can not explain just what it meant to me and i'm sure every other person that night .. You are just on another level and i'm glad i could be apart of it that night ! .. It was worth the multiple flights to get to Sydney just to see you all !... Thank you and may the gods bless you all
As someone who is Akwesasne Mohawk, it's amazing how similar that Heilung and music that goes back over a thousand years sounds so very familiar to chants and dances that my ancestors had and still do today, more proof that we are somehow in some way, all connected.
Since the release of Drif I listen it on repeat 24/7 and didn't get tired if it.. quite the contrary - it helps me so much calming down, meditate and inspire me. It really touch and heals the soul, thank you Heilung!
I love heilung. They opened my eyes in a lot of ways. The one i will mention here being, i didn't know, that music could actually hit me this way. It is so metaphysical it speaks to the soul in a way i have never felt before this music entered my life. I am of eastern Germanic/ Scandinavian decent, with some Irish. I live in America. I have been hooked for over 4 years now. It awakened something in me that i will never be able to turn away from, and the feeling, makes me feel very alive. And i had forgotten what alive feels like.
What a fucking beautiful masterpiece as always from Heilung. I truly cherish every single song they create and since I discovered them I feel so happy and spiritually enriched
Interesting how a 'gathering' manifests at such a personal, individual level. Every bit as powerful and moving as your previous works, but instead of feeling the urge to move in response, the flow reverses and one absorbs the "others" and feel their strengths, weaknesses, kindness and beauty. Heilung, indeed. This is a revelationary (new word needed for new phenomenon) masterpiece. Simply brilliant.
I love nesso its absolutely phenomenal and I have to say I love all there songs but have my favorites that most others do but I think this is my very favorite. I love listening to there music even though I dont the words I end up learning them and being able to sing in another language a dead language at that and one of the first languages ever spoken I may not can speak them but I can sing them by listening to heilung over and over lol
And I usually like to see what the songs translate too just so I can get a feel for the meaning of each one, so if you do speak the language used in Nesso I think I know what it was cuz it sounds similar to another one I mean the actually words the song dont sound the same but the same words I mean anyways if you do know what it translates too in English will you let me know please I would be grateful
@@llamaworm8263 is that what it translates too in English? Thank you so much I hope they make a video of Nesso its my new favorite! If you by chance know the original text that they sing it in im guessing maybe old norse but not sure. But if you happen to know they text of how there Singing it in that language could you send it too me too please if its not to much trouble thank you so much
I saw Heilung for the first time at Red Rocks this week after my sister had seen them live and reported that "it was the wildest thing i have ever seen" and I said "SIGN ME UP!". I love to bare witness to the extraordinary and so why not this one!?! Let me just say I will be going back for more. I have NEVER been so deeply moved by a live music event in my life and I've seen some sh!t. The morning after the show, I was sitting at a coffee house sipping on coffee and something moved inside of me that I burst out into tears. I was JUST laughing out loud, thinking about how I bought extra tickets and brought my friends who were more blind to the experience than I was. They didn't know anything about what they were walking into LMAOOOOOO They"d walk into a burning building with me. I love them so much :) One friend texted me for 3 days after the show about how weird it was and wtf did I bring him to lolol
Whenever I lack energy or motivation, I listen to your tracks/chants. I feel it so strongly, there is such a primal and earthly energy coming from it. I just discovered your new album and I'm enchanted. Really helps me connect to parts of myself. Music can have this sort of magic, yours is filled with it. Hat's off, and a deep thank you.
Heilung has continued to hit my soul every time I have needed it. The music and the meaning behind the songs awakens an old part of my soul to give me a feeling that is difficult to describe. Its like you become part of the song heart mind and soul.
It's made so well as well, right? You could really imagine the cohorts marching by double pace if you'd close your eyes. Amazingly immersive piece. Some historians say the source piece might be the best evidence of a Roman marching cadence existing during a organized march and/or a triumph.
Didn't think much of it at first but this is starting to grow on me. Especially Anoana. Been a Heilung listener for years. This is the more sublime of their releases.
Early to every Heilung release! They changed my life and highly recommend them to others! Invested thousands of dollars in Klipsch reference professional speakers so I can hear them live every day
Three times have I stood in a Heilung Drif. Twice in Chicago and once at Red Rocks. The most recent was barely a month ago, but time seems to not apply to memories of a Heilung Drif. In some ways the evening at Red Rocks, twelve months gone by now, seems more close than the incredible immersion I underwent at the Radius in Chicago just four weeks ago. And from nearly three years past my initiation to the Oneness of Heilung at the Riviera in those last Good Old Days Before the Plague is in many ways a continuing experience. Today, my copy of this album on clear vinyl finally arrived. I am reluctant to put needle to surface without having a gathering for the occasion, so concerned I am for protecting against decay, but now that I have paid good money and have product in hand, I am just now coming listening to this online version; I felt to do so earlier would be to defraud the great and worldwide Heilung Drif in a way. We must give before we take. Eclectic, beautiful, chilling. So obviously Heilung and so much more expansive than their earlier albums that seemed to rely on an imaginary static landscape anchorded to a single place and time constructed uniquely by each listener. This album is riskier and demands more from the listener, taking you from moment to moment, each piece constructing , or perhaps returning to, its own universe that could exist and thrive with or without the surrounding material. This is a step forward for Heilung, I am humbled to be carried along in their Drif.
So happy today to find this Album i desperately waited for. Anoana was so incrediblly breathtaking, unbelievable that these Heilung guys could even improve themselves. Man, what a Sound!
This is such an amazing piece of music and art, using it to help me focus on work right now, but at the same you can't help, but feel transferred into so many different spheres and landscapes. SKAL
I found Heilung a couple years ago tracing my Lineage . I didn't understand a word but my soul did. When I need to ground myself I find my self in my back woods listening to heilung and seeing the world through the eyes of wolf . The more I listen to Heilung the more I want to be in the woods and close to the earth. Soon I'm sure I'm going to just vanish into the forest as it is a much better than life in modern society.
Last Song is truly amazing... Very view people in this world dive into the old Sumerian/Babylonian Magick & Spiritual Philosophy. Even more those who speak it on a daily basis or even writing poems in this dead tongue. I wonder now, how Heilung perceive metaphysically and spiritually speaking the adversarial battle between Marduk & Tiamat from Enuma Elish, in the context of primordial dark divine feminine energies. In all cases, it is a truly enigmatic & interesting song.
When I first heard heilung I wasn't a fan of much of the music. But this album, specifically Asja, anoana, Urbani, tenet, nesso are beautiful, tracks. I'm now a fan. Thank you for this. My family was part of the frankish tribe, Marcomani tribe, an the other side is celtic/pictish and Nordic. So this music really resonated with me, even made me tear up a few times. Our ancestors did so much for us, we must keep our traditions and our people alive, for generations to come.
Nobody I am related to likes our music and I only know 1 person in real life who likes it but to me it is more than music as it became Magical, Historical, Spiritual, Artistic and just LIKE I HAVE been missing it all my Life! glad you like it too!!!
Looked up the lyrics, it's a charm to draw parasites from the body to an arrow, where the disease can be shot into the distance where it can do no one harm. It makes the second half of the song very poignant cos it sounds as though she is pleading with it to go so it can't take anyone else she cares about away from her.
@@morphix7212 she sounds like she's crying too, it's so powerful that she was able to push through that emotion to bring this to us. It's so beautiful!!!! 🤭💗💗💞💞💞💞
I have listened to this album all the way through multiple times. It is beautiful, tragic, and mesmerizing all in one. I would love to share the feelings and imaginings it drew forth for me. These are very simply my own interpretations.
Excited to get to see Heilung @ Red Rocks in Colorado this April. The algorithm suggested them and I couldn’t be happier. This music is so guttural and real. I’m hypnotized and cannot get enough. I want to feel those drums pulsing through me ❤
It was awesome! My only complaint is that since it’s an open air amphitheater, the bass from the drums wasn’t as prominent as I’d hoped. Otherwise, they fit that venue so well ❤
The cd just came in yesterday, It's good. Goes well with their other 3 cd's. As long as their rituals bring peace along my path through life, I welcome it. Frith fellow Heathens/Pagans/Wiccans. I wish you well on your individual journeys. Frostproof,FL. US.
Thank you season for the heart..... The only gift I can give back right now is a like and subscription. If you were anywhere around Frostproof FL I would be honored to have you feast at my table.
All I can say is.. BACK TO THE ROOTS HUMANS!! Thats our way! Everytime I listen to You Heilung, it feels like opening a VERY old photobook of mine with hundreds of 'shortcuts' from a verylongago life.. With many emotional ups and downs.. Although I mostly dont understand a word (except the Runes 😇) it feels very 'familiar'! Often I sit here (or even dance) and have to cry, because you touch the deepest depths of my heart & soul & being.. I listen for a few years to Heilung and it helped me to remember more and more.. For example: I know now why I had such a bad struggle with 'church' or even the Word 'god' and just everything counting to 'religion'.. Throu all my life... it gave me SUCH a bad feeling.. Today I know its that **** echoe from past live(s)! Thank You so much for doing what You are doing 💖 Light ✨ with You 💫 every day ✨ Gaya and the Runes shall always be with You ✨
It makes me emotional every time i feel Maria's voice turning from angry and determined to desperate and hurt in Nesso. So much so that it sounds supplicant, like she is begging for whatever it is to leave them be.
That's interesting, I've never thought of her voice as angry but it makes sense. Now I feel the turn from anger at the beginning to desperation, despair and finally acceptance. Like our ancestors, even with all the technology and science at the present, sometimes all you can do is the praying, bargaining and hoping. Must say that I am delighted to hear her sing in a deeper voice on this album too.
Saw them live yesterday. It was an experience everyone has to make at least once in their life. The connection, the atmosphere, the ritual, the show, the crowd, how each single instrument and all different vocals make such breathtaking music, and much more The location wasn't great tho. Would be best to see them play in the middle of a forest 🌲
@@watevatube i dont think they meant it in a bad way. But theyre right. Heilungs ritual IS amazing. But if you ever get a chance, you really should go and see them! ❤
Неизменно восхитительно!!! Полное растворение в музыке во время прослушивания... А когда затих последний звук последнего трека, еще какое-то время ощущение, будто время замерло, а вибрации продолжаются внутри тела и в окружающем пространстве... Спасибо за это волшебство! Обожаю вас, Heilung!!!🖤🖤🖤
I kept having bad days at work and personal for no real reason for a couple weeks. Felt like bad energy was surrounding me. I helt a private ritual over this (Chaos Magic). Everyday has been a blessing since.
HEILUNG comment: “'Drif' means 'gathering,' a throng of people, a horde, a crowd, a pack. In symbiosis with the album title, 'Drif' consists of a flock, a collection, a gathering, a collage of songs, that much like little flames were seeking towards each other, to join, to bond, to create, and be greater together. This album has very clearly dictated its own path. Our attempts to tame it was repeatedly fruitless and once we came to this realization, the creative flow surged forward with immense force, so much so that sometimes it felt like the songs wrote themselves. All the songs on 'Drif' have their own stories. They have each their place and sense of belonging, with inspiration not only from Northern Europe, but from the ancient great civilizations.”
And didn't God write them?😉
Drif also refers to "Clan" as in a circle of peoples.
@@TheOrgCaptainHowdy For meditation purposes ...
Hence marduk being the mesopotamian God of death. Awesome ❤
This is beautiful. And how music is supposed to be in my opinion. Thank you so much for your music. It means a world to me that someone creates music that literates me so much that sometimes I need to be careful to not "fly away ". Can't wait to see you guys on Kraków Tauron Arena
My wife had been listening to Heilung for some time and had been trying in vain to get me to listen. I'm a thrash/death metal fan but I bought tickets for Heilung for her and I to go. The show was one week ago today and.... I never expected how deeply seeing and hearing Heilung would make me feel ... and now I can't stop listening.
Szymańskie dźwięki były dużo wcześniej niż metal i grupy metalowe.
Puts you in a different place mentally like a drug in my opinion
cringe
@@perbymayhaps4890 once one accepts that they are cringe they are free to become themselves
@@ablanketwovenfromthedungof4508 nah
So many people in modern society are walking around ungrounded… feeling an emptiness that cannot be filled. This album heals the soul by connecting us all to a primitive feeling that most cannot put into words. True masterpiece. This is exactly what the world needs ♥️
never better said ☺
I fully agree. I look into peoples eyes and they almost seem like a part of their human soul has been lost.. like there’s nothing there.. and even more so a disconnection between mother and baby as we are told they must be independent from day one.. and as adults don’t receive support we need when we need it. We have created a world of disconnection and aloneness..

Thanks!
@@themirrus424 From what I see most are already on LyricsTranslate site.
Nice one! Any idea of the meaning?
Anoana made something awaken in me. I just felt like I was somewhere else for a moment...and started to cry for no reason. Not a sobbing cry, more of an unexplained welling up and feeling like my soul just went on a 100 year journey and came back.
I know exactly what you mean I think it taps into our DNA
You sure it rather wasn't a 10.000 year journey? Because that's the timeframe Heilung draws inspiration from.
the real world power of great music.
i had the same reaction, the tears i shed from their music is happiness and remembrance
same, same. I was outside downtown walking down the sidewalk watching the video. it was very inconvenient.
Im a proud Chicano from San Diego and found Heilung when I took a deep dive into Viking history, culture and traditions. While I am grounded in my own cultural traditions, I absolutely see how this can help others heal allowing themselves to be fully themselves. When all cultures can be authentically shared with respect and love, I think we all become better people for it. Thank you Heilung for daring to be authentically yourselves, were all richer for it.
you are beautiful ,and said what i feel.... bless you.
Thank, you are absolutely right.
Como gringo (irlandes, escoses, ingles, german, etc.), que se caso con una familia mexicana, gracias y amor.
Huge respect for you and your cultur 👍🏻 This is something special...i am from Finland 🇫🇮
i just saw them in concert on Tuesday, they didn't take a single break and played for two hours straight, just constantly moving and telling a story with the music, like they were acting out a play, it was beautiful
It's not a concert. It's an act, a story, as you said. They can't break up the story. I've been to one of their rituals, and people were confused how they came up to the stage, and left without saying anything to the public. I loved it, I understood it. I will go again when I get the chance, every time.
my son and DIL bought me tickets to the Dallas show around that time. it was stellar to say the least. it was well past the time for them to go on at the scheduled time bc ppl were still filing in. the announcer came and said they wanted to wait so that all of us could watch the entire show. it was nothing short of amazing
Did they perform this album? I went to see them in 2019.. curious what they're doing now.
Это особо! Они в этом живут и растворяются и черпают силы и летят над землёй где то в высях. Они круты и единственные в своём роде! Спасибо говорим им! ❤
Wish there was a "love this" button. Ty for filling my soul with pride and strength. May the gods bless you Heilung, as you have blessed us.
Whenever I listen to Heilung it´s almost like I regain hearing in my damaged ear. Magical.
😂 😂 😂
Main stream "music" Vrs Heilung. Lmao
This music hits you in your core so maybe you soul is making your hearing sharper to listen closer.
😃😃😃
@@dalesen He probably lost his hearing by accidentally listening to some radio station...
Found Heilung while searching Viking music. My late boyfriend of 14 years walked the Shamanic path. I am a witch. A healer. Recently learned I have more Northern Germanic, Nordic, Celtic heritage and the like than I thought. Heilung peels the layers of societal norms away from my skin as if it were cut with a dull knife. Ever painful yet deeply healing. Transformation and transmutation. Heilung brings me closer to my late boyfriend on levels I cannot express... For we shared multiple past lives. Forever grateful and humbled.
I'm so sorry about your boyfriend, that must have been hard. But now you have something beautiful that he gave you (and I assuming so much more) that you have to remember him by
I too was drawn to this music during the loss of my soulmate and I found healing, and a connection to something so primal and ancient within myself that I have no doubt I was guided by her.
@@chrissieloff9645 I am sincerely sorry for your loss. Shes guiding always and in all ways.
Maybe you will also love Eivør from Färöer (Look for Trøllabundin and Verð min! And the live concert in Thorshavn!) and the music from Kaladra from Norway.
Lots of spiritual moments!
Sorry for your loss. I lost my viking man, too. But we are connected and he tries to lead me to a new love he told me.
Also my passed away "wolf" is envolved (or enwolfed😉).
Souls like you and me know about the big truth about live and death. ❤
I send you my very best wishes for healing your heart, success in connecting you to your asen and disen, to your ancestors and Gods, to your tribes and your essence.
You will make it through, sister! 🥰 🙏🏻 🤗
YER NOT A WITCH
After 17 years of being with us, our family cat died peacefully in our own home, without the need to hide. My mother took it really bad, I had to keep calm and take care of her, doing funerary rituals so she would process the death and calm herself. I surrounded the body with her favourite toys, flowers and treats, with two lit candles. She looked beautiful. I felt nothing for two days, repressing my sadness, and when I listened to Nesso it all came flowing. Funny how synchronicity works. It may sound silly, but thank you for helping me mourn.
I know exactly how you feel. Nesso spoke to me after losing one of our 4 sugar gliders a couple days ago...then that night, I got to see Heilung LIVE. The music helped me get through it. Sorry for your loss.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. I lost my father due to cancer two months ago, and listening to Nesso really soothed my soul. The first time hearing this song, I was in the train going to the funeral of my dad, and I understood that it was brought to me just in the right time to heal me from all the suffering of losing him. I also rencently lost my cat of 14 years old, found her dead in my kitchen, probably from a heart attack, and it broke my heart. Obviously I listened again to Nesso. She was such a lovely being and a day to day emotional support, I somehow couldn't imagine losing her. I gathered my father's and my life companion's ashes and made an altar for them, I put some flowers around them just like you did. It may seem strange but they just seem to be still alive, surrounding me with their love everywhere I go.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the loss of a loved one, it really resonates with me. I hope you and your mother found a way to go past your grief, even though the memory of your fur baby will always be with you. xoxo ❤️❤️
You experienced the Shaman state. Your self was subsumed into the ether, while the "real" you did what it needed to do. You helped her soul be carried into the beyond. The sorrow that comes is payment, but something tells me you paid it gladly. Your deeds are noted. The spirits regard you well. That is a precious and beautiful thing; do not squander it. Blessings of spirit and man be upon you.
I am a German. "Keltentrauer" made me cry and angry. I can feel the desperation...thank you...I felt the same about the Teutoburg Forest piece....
Although i know a few words I do not speak german(or any second language. gotta love the American school system) but i could tell it was a battle between two forces and that one side wanted basically a champion challenge but was met with a hail of arrows to which his side charged in anger as the battle fades i could hear the roars of soldiers and women screaming and what i can only assume was the destruction of a city
@@brandenward3463 teutoburg was a battle in which the tribes massacred 3 Roman legions. Each legion contained anywhere from around 3 thousand to 6 thousand soldiers and the roman death count was around roughly 20,000 dead. I think in total around 30,000 lives were lost. I could be wrong though. I'm sure someone here has a more accurate estimate.
ok...i need you to relax, we europeans are a product of grecoroman culture, influenced by celtic and german traditions. Its all good.
I am Scottish. Their music speaks to my soul. I work out to them every morning.
I felt like the dream of the rood was turned into a live action amplified tell all. Phenomenal.
Recently, I lost both of my parents in an accident, and I've been struggling with how to move forward. This brings such healing and clarity to me in such a broken time. Thank you.
My condonlences to you.
They're smiling down on you proudly.
I'm far less of a stranger to death than I'd ever liked to have been in this life, so my heart aches deeply empathizing with the raw tempest of grief, its colossal swells and its stinging and benumbing lulls that must be ebbing and flowing in your life right now.
I've come to recognize the immense pain as a direct mirror to the depth of love we bare for those whose living presence we've been made bereft of, that this pain in all its almost unbearable gravity at times, is in itself rooted in love and is the direct reverberations of it, of the blessing of having got to know and love these special souls during our short time here in this strange and astounding place of being we're sharing.
If what I'm saying is a fresh way of beholding your grief and loss, I hope the experience of witnessing and feeling that love inside the pain which wrings your heart, and so the tears from your eyes, is helpful and healing.
If my words are of no use, pay them no mind and please forgive any feeling of trespass I may evoke in saying what I have and am.
There is no wrong way to grieve, and it's important to honor your grief and this process.
It's okay to struggle, to feel what you are. It's okay to be a mess, it's even okay to not be who you used to be before this loss if you're experiencing that.
Some people in your life may not understand, and that's okay too, and it's also okay to draw boundaries with them if they fail you or cannot respect or understand the process you're going through.
Honor your grief, it is the fire of your love for those whom you will love always...
These are all things I wish I'd have been told and hope can be of use.
Loss often really can be a truly arduous expeditionary slog of the soul, and if its of any help to hear, know that others have walked and are walking through this figurative underworld wilderness too.
I'd gladly give you a hug if you needed one right now.
Wishes of deep healing, insight and growth through this painful and metamorphic time in your life.
And thank you for publicly sharing your loss.
@@TuskKult That was one of the most beautiful response comments I have ever read on You-Tube. What a lovely heart you have. May the god's bless you.
@@TuskKult ...Thank you. I've been contemplating how to transmutate this current feeling into a way to pass on anything of my own experiences on to my own children. I am still at a loss for how to process all of the swirls of emotion, but every day I wake up and try to figure out how to do what needs doing, while not losing myself in the turmoil.
I'd sat with the dying on multiple occasions, but none of that prepared me for this particular loss. It's made me more vulnerable than I would like to admit. I've always seen myself as "strong" but that's a mask of sorts. I'm temporary, as we all are. What can we leave behind? What can we do to help those who come after us? It's these questions that keep me up at night these days.
Thank you for your words, they matter.
Keltentrauer ("Celt's Grief") English Lyrics (Or verses, since it's a poem, not a song)
Idly the hills lie
under the sigil of the dawn.
Idly the fog moves through the valleys
treetops emerging from it.
STAND STILL!
Legions stand at the ready,
in red-silver Roman armors.
Then, the sun shines across the horizon,
and a long, wailing horn sounds.
Again and again it does.
Hesitantly first, then stronger, drum songs arise,
then finally the Carnyx resounds,
and far its echo reverberates.
Quite a few Legionnaires
force their knees to calm down.
Then, the forest begins to cough them forth,
first in bigger groups,
then in twos and threes.
Magnificent they are to look at,
as they stand there, proud and well armored,
in the morning light.
Many helmets crowned by the boar
may it be of iron, or of leather.
The deer, too, on their armor, mustn't be missing,
wolf and bear, they are kindred souls.
Freshly polished is the shield,
And with the longsword, the hero stands.
On long pikes, banners flutter bravely,
as, even now, ghastly taunts sound.
STAND STILL!
Still are the eagles on the other side,
only the cloaks of the riders waft.
And so, the Keltoí army gathers,
calls echo back and forth,
then suddenly, all goes silent,
and a great warrior steps from their midst.
He removes his helmet and visor,
his pants, and his leg armor, too,
until he stands naked in the morning grass,
with only necklace, shield and sword.
And as he strides across the meadow,
he is accompanied by shield drums and song.
Determined, he stops before the prettiest golden armor
and announces to the enemy commander:
"Before you! Stands the lord of the Cherusci!
And I tell you, let us not spill blood in vain!
Send your strongest fighter onto me.
Man against Man! Only him, and me!
If he wins, we shall give way.
But should I win, you must leave."
Silent, his opponent takes in his speech,
only his horse prances and heaves,
and, with a nod,
death rains, wooden hornet stings,
into the Keltoí's chest, and colors it red.
And as he topples over and falls,
a MIGHTY roar rises!
It's his brothers in arms who yell there,
they want to rid themselves of their anger!
Thrown aside are helmet, armor and chain mail,
they would have only hindered us in battle!
Drums and Carnyxes sound, again,
loud, raw songs of the sword!
Neighing, one drives to the front,
loud his cry echoes to every ear,
as his adorned arm swings his blade,
and the other guides his horse.
"Onward, onward, my brothers!
Sing the war songs of our ancestors!
Drench your blades in Roman blood!
For only so, the wrath of the gods shall be quenched!"
Like a projectile, he rushes toward the enemy
And the projectile becomes a rain.
They all ride and run to break the shield wall,
and to avenge their dead chieftain.
Each carriage rips a hole into the wall,
all which close again, there's far to many of them.
Like water calms after a stone falls in,
the Roman lines stand steady and unharmed.
By the time the Keltoí army reaches them,
the Romans have already managed,
to reestablish their rows,
in order to cheat the Keltoí out of victory.
And heed!
An enormous massacre commences!
Among human sons who don't honor each other.
They RIP and TEAR and MAIM each other!
Soiled with blood, in the face of death,
Hating one another!
Once he carried on his belt
the heads of his enemies, with pride,
now, it's his own that rolls.
And all those, who came running eagerly,
are now huffing, legs lost,
The one, who carried the spear with skill,
is now robbed of his pretty hands and shield,
and the proud chest is now suffering,
under stings to the heart,
and loss of blood.
The waiting and taunting of the Romans
has worked to their advantage.
Without any chance to win,
the naked hordes throw themselves
into their swords.
They retreat, giving themselves up to death,
for being imprisoned would be so much worse.
Weaker now, the Carnyxes sound, and visibly,
Keltoí standards fall into the grass.
Only the eagles still loll above,
and the Roman formation
has not the slightest dent.
They stand, red and unwavering,
With this, the commander is very pleased.
Before him, the Keltoí leader has been dragged,
He cares not even for his name.
Mortally wounded the poor man, once proud,
who now can only crawl before the Roman.
"Ah! If only I had not grown up!
Never had been born!
It would have been better for me
than to crawl before you, on the ground!
Vale Victis! Woe to those conquered,
who lie in the dust before Romans!"
Now, there's nobody left
to protect wife, and child, and home.
The Roman eagle probably appreciates it.
It surges up,
and leaves a blood trail throughout the land,
which to us is now known
as Gaul.

Thank you so much, i love this album and i knew id love the story , thank you for sharing this
Thanks to You! This is gold For me (i'm hispanic speaker) 🥺😭💖👏🏻
Thank you so much!! ❤❤ I just discovered this group recently and I'm in love! 😍❣️💖💖
German Here. He wasn't the leader of the Cherusci. According to the poem, he led a tribe called the Deer-Men or Hirschnleut.
I was just asking for a translation, you're a gentleman and a scholar.
This was a gathering of spirits, chants, songs from out of hieroglyphs. Innate voices , caves, wild sacred spaces opening. The warrior poem and song was such a vivid escape from the sacral songs . When wolf and bear were alike and wore their furry mantles, called out their clan songs that humans one fine day might finally learn to understand and respect. Blessed is the being, the kindred spirit called HEILUNG, Thank you, tusen hjertlig takk!! greetings from Norway
Thaks you a lot
We are all connected. Takk fyrir and Skál
Marduk is amazing!!! The hole album it amazing!!!!
Am from Norman descent and heilung always bring me back home

4,000 ancestors in ten generations. Hundreds of thousands in a millennium. Every one fought, suffered, loved, and struggled with us in mind today. Today, you may think yourself to be alone - but you are not. It is only very recently that we descendants of Northern Europe have forgotten this. Do not forget, and remember that it is never over. We are forever Nordic, forever Celtic, forever Germanic peoples.
I'll tell a little story about blood. I never knew my father. Never knew his name or saw his picture. I lived my life and he was not known to me at all. And I was a hobo, I traveled the US for 5 years, sleeping under the stars, riding freight trains and hitchhiking. Later, I joined the military and applied to forestry school. Finally I made contact with my father, and we spoke on the phone. I wasn't angry. I asked him - what is most important for me to know? He said "That you are a Scot of the McKintyre Clan."
This man had spent 40 years on the road, traveling as I had, unbeknownst to me, and his father was a nomadic sheepherder. The McKintyre Clan were known to be fantastic soldiers and above all, foresters. There we have it - blood spoke through me, as a traveler, as a soldier, and now as a forester. We are never alone.
My great great grandfather was a mountaineer and explorer. The men on my dad's side have all been gifted with that same sense of exploration and wandering. We are wanderers. Not gifted in many skills, but we all have this nagging sense of exploration that haunts us. It's hard to settle down, find a career or job I can stick with, because that need to change things up is always there. Roamers, wanderers, travelers. It's in my DNA.
FINALLY.
The neighbors are gonna LOVE how this sounds on my home theater system. I know I'm already invested emotionally on every track I've gotten access to before today. From one drummer to a group of Rhythm specialists, the heart BEAT of the world and every living creature on this side or the other rejoices in euphoric delight in your presence HEILUNG. B
Blessings from the ancient ones and may mother moon take you SO MUCH FURTHER IN THE FUTURE.
home theater systems are for movies,games.Music sounds better on 2.0 only.

I can relate, I wanna put this to 3000 watts on my Sundown X 12 after I get my car fixed and let it roar loud and clean for a mile in each direction 🔊🔊🔊🔊
A profound thank you for breathing life into dead languages. It helps us remember who we are. This album is a masterpiece.
I was tired, upset and at this very sad time in my life, I closed my eyes at about the first minute and 20 seconds... And it was as if I had found something long lost, something that I didn't even remember losing or that I had already resigned myself to not finding it, I wish I could be more precise with the emotion I felt... Sorry for not being more precise and thank you for making such beautiful music.
I like to think of unexplained 'emotion' as our DNA expressing itself -- we don't know why we respond certain ways, sometimes, but our DNA was designed through many many thousands of years, it has 'seen some sh*t' as they say.
Music tis old magic my brother, tis your soul responding to something it remembers, something that it craves and something that is finally starting to wake up again after far too long, embrace it, we are to live in interesting times :D
Heilung albums are not only a work of art, they're human history represented and preserved. It's more than music, it's a historical tool that takes us to ages past of humankind.
More than that. They are NOW.
Music is NOW. Always now, Everything is here now.
Beutifully described. Could not agree more.
no.
dont get me wrong i love heilung and other "pagan" style music band but its far from what ancestor was listening , its viking themed pop culture musics .
@fanch22480 precisely
The old vikings have only drums 🥁 and horns no other instruments. Later centuries, there came in contact with slavic people and roman Constantinopel in the south and in the North keltic tripes., flute, and pipes.
vikings are more Scandinavian countries there have nothing do to with German tripes there are more related to the huns from the east of Europe. great music dont get me wrong, but there want to change the historical facts
The TENET symbol is a mystical Roman pre-Christian origin and has simply nothing do to with vikings
The Netflix serie Barbarians is the most wrong historical managed serie ever in the industry full of wrong assumptions and doesn't base on facts but more on fantasie
@@ChrisTenalach77777 while it is true, that this is not a traditional music in any way, but theater, a lot of the other things you said were very wrong. the scandinavian people were very closely related to the german tribes, as can easily be reconstructed by their languages and their religion and the cultures we see in archeological findings. there is no clear division between scandinavians and german tribes. the huns on the other hand basically didn't exist, but are likely a foreign word for a number of different riding cultures in the east. none of them is by any means likely to have spoken a german language or anything remotely related to it, instead turk languages or atalic languages are likely. we simply don't know for sure, because none of them can be surely identified. finally, i don't see how you put vikings and german tribes in the same age, since at the time the vikings became a thing, basically no german tribes as such existed anymore, vikings being a purely medieval phenomenon. it is very likely the vikings had a lot of different music instruments they raided, including the slaves to play them. on the other hand we have findings of flutes as early as 200 ad in scandinavia and i have personally seen depictions of lurs in sweden from at least 500 bc.
I finally can look like a maniac when I blast Tenet in my car in the morning. Great Album, it's been on repeat.
We are not alone in our love of Heilung!
Brother is ready to pillage ❤
We belong to eachother, this is what Drif is about. I feel we are connected.
Apparently only black lives matter
'Tenet' is so beautiful it makes me cry 😭
I had the honour to be at the release at Midgardsblot and this album is just magical. It gives me shivers and resonates with my deepest self. Thank you Heilung for sharing your gifts with the world. Healing is exactly what this world needs.
Uzdrowienie wszechświata🤗🤗🤗
The album release was incredible. The only thing better than a new Heilung album is a new Heilung album with 250 other tribespeople. 🥰
Nikkal has got to be the most beautiful acapellas I've ever heard. Started crying when the harmonies coincide with one another. I'm speechless, honestly. I have no words.
It's also sung like it's a lullaby and if your not careful in listening to it it can put you to sleep
@@bloodravenstalkwolf8917I sleep best when I have Heilung playing
@@bloodravenstalkwolf8917 Which is pretty apt since Nikkal is the ancient Hurrian fertility goddess that cares for children too.
I know Maria does some other music, but her work in Heilung is truly a gift to the world. There are a couple of Heilung songs I don't like as much, but the majority of your music is some of my favorite to listen to of everything ever made. I listen to a *lot* of different genres of music, sung by boys and girls. Maria's voice is the most beautiful I've ever heard. It's not angelic. It's more like a nature spirit, either calming or empowering, and overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you so much to you all for sharing your music, instruments and all. I wish I could hug everyone in the band for the calmness and gift you've brought to me.
My Nordic family, we are all united by this music. Scandinavia and every kind of indigenous people, we are pagans, we worship celtic gods and we are proud of our folk. May you all be healthy.
I have lost both of my grandfathers this year to sickness. Nesso is a beautiful peace of music that I listened to before and after each of their passings. It comforted me so much and I can’t count how many times I’ve shouted and cried this song as a healthy way to cope with the grief I feel. Thank you so much Heilung. I can’t wait to see you in concert soon.
Heilung did it again. I can't find the right words for this pure awesomeness. I feel something that i can't describe, while listening to this beast of an album. I think we all feeling it.
✨❤💫
I listened to the album for a long time, almost without a break, over and over again. I painted during the time of listening. Then i just indulged in thoughts as they came as i listened to the music. Finally, i just let myself fall into the music. It felt like a time of shifting that you go through unconsciously. But a change that develops insidiously and only slowly seeps into consciousness. Just like aging does. It speaks to me personally partly restlessness but also acceptance of what is coming, but also steadfastness . It is somehow also familiar. Do you know the inner feeling that keeps telling you:"Be patient, it's coming. Be patient, hang in there, get through it!"? That is exactly what I often feel in the middle of some songs. Alternating with restlessness, calming down, persevering, change and then again from the beginning and a few steps further. I love the music of Heilung. Even if there are pieces that leave me wondering or do not take me along as others. They always awaken something in an honest way. That's why i like the new pieces quite a lot. They somehow just fit into the world events. Well done Heilung and a big thank you for that. Many songs move ME very deep, not just my emotions..ME!
Я начала слушать Хайлунг, когда моей маме делали операцию, и то время было очень тяжёлым. Хайлунг вернул мне жажду жизни, силы и энергию. Звучание их музыки будто действует на самые древние стороны восприятия, пробуждает в тебе нечто настолько древнее, истинное и прочное, что помогает вставать и идти дальше.
Потрясающие музыканты, преклоняюсь перед талантом 🥺🙏
О боги, Хейлунг это просто другой уровень музыки. Это даже не музыка, это состояние души.

This album is a true ancestral ritual. A reconnection with the mystical and spiritual side. A magical and enchanting album ✨

Nikkal is a sumerian goddess who is said to be the theme of the very first song/hymn of humanity
Hardly _the very first_ song ever, people sung songs tens of thousands of years before that, but the Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal (from around 1200 to 1400 BCE) _is the oldest known_ recorded song / melody. It's hard to tell, but I think Heilung might have incorporated that melody into the Nikkal song.
@@TubususCZ I've discussed with other anthropologists the possiblity of singing having predated speech as we think of it, like a singing language. It was a good chat.
@@angrytrees7519 Isn't there a type of singing in India that is so ancient, no one knows where it originated from, and the words aren't language but mouth-music, and the singing patterns mimic bird song? Wish I remember the name or region so I could be more specific.
This is the album Heilung makes the leap from being just another viking saga band to truly amplified history. Every album is just just another level!
Thank History Channel for the Vikingmania. Every Tom Dick and Harry are now the direct descendants of Ragnar Lothbrok XD
they are just shamanic truely healing us inside. europe was riche in knowleage ned heritage before the mass horror christianity which inverted many good things into evil..
@@cocobunitacobuni8738 but we are the descendants
Alle feiern das Album...meiner Meinung nach entfernen sie sich immer mehr von dem wunderschön düsteren, modrigen, dreckverschmierten erdigen Sound den Heilung für mich ausmachte. Klingt irgendwie alles zu sauber...zu elektronisch das Ganze...schade drum 🤔 nichts desto trotz tolles Album.
@@vandekruz nah most of you are just some American children with 5% Scandinavian DNA that u got from scam sites like Myheritage or other shit.
Most of y'all never lived here or know anything besides the common knowledge Viking shit.
I’m not sure when the members of Heilung were given a drink of the Mead of Poetry, but that’s the only reason I can see for how talented these folks are. Amazing job as usual, if it doesn’t give me goosebumps, it’s not Heilung. ❤️
Best comment!💖
Othror is not for the light of heart.
It's as if they were sent by the Gods on purpose with a purpose.
@@dalesen tak jest.
No one comes closer to taking arts to the next level musically than these guys. The songs wrote themselves, they said... the songs were bestowed upon us I say and they were the messengers. We are brothers and sisters, we are connected, Heilung is. the connection. Thankyou for your pain and joy.
Who ever knows, what and how our ancestors sung.
But, this sounds/"reminds" me, like an "echo", from a long time ago.
Took my own cannabis trip laying down in bed last night with this album playing. Magical and felt my spirit above my body but I couldn't quite leave my physical body. Ah well, super great album and as expected for a group that uses shamanic vibes to be HEILUNG. ❤️🙏😍
Try it with psychedelics, you'll be speechless
Long time coming, zero disappointment. Some of heilungs best songs are from this album imo
Urbani literally had me swaying and I didn't realize it until it was too late hhaha
By far, my favorite album so far! What I love most about Heilung is that they bring us all together! Went to the Dallas show and I was in awe of how diverse the crowd was. It was beautiful and I finally didn't feel so alone on this rock. Thank you for helping bring us together! 🙏
32:20 Diden't think i would hear a classic "Wilhelm scream" in this album but there it is. :)
That's right, nesso is probably my favourite too. It's so sinister and yet beautiful.
breaks the tension. going from you home being gnawed by arrow, newborn creaming ,then random funny man falls, back to the fear of another man's victory
It might be Wilhelm's cousin Speorg screaming. Just sayin'.
Haha I was going to say the same thing, odd they opted to include it!
@@urubutingaz5898 The comment wasn't about Nesso.
I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite track on this album. But Urbani is simply on another level. The sounds used and the marching cadence being the surviving quote Caesar's own legionaries used during his triumph makes it so much more immersive. Amazing quality as always.
"Ecce Caesar nunc triumphat, qui subegit Gallias, Nicomedes non triumphat, qui subegit Caesarem!"
My favorite sound is "Marduk". What an incredible performance! The shaman's whispers, of a strange but surprisingly pleasant musicality, transport us through the mysteries of the 50 names of Marduk.
In the future, I hope you will continue to explore other wonderful ancient cultures besides those of the North !
In these hard times I got lost a bit, but thanks to this album I found hope for a better tomorrow,
Huge thanks from Kyiv for another masterpiece, as always beautiful and breathtaking!
I'm an American mutt from Texas. My ancestry is pretty diluted, but the overwhelming majority is from the Nordic regions. I never really gave any thought to culture, and largely dismissed it as simple tribalism - the us vs them mentality. Then I heard Aurora sing Helvegen with Wardruna, and it felt so ancient to me. I started listening to Wardruna, and then found Heilung... I don't understand Old Norse, but your music and the images speak to me in a way that I can't quite explain. It's also helped me to see the beauty in ancient traditions, and the importance that they hold for the people whose heritage they represent.
Just listened in for a sec, and almost immediately something in their music triggers something in my heart. Wasn't even in the mood, still got me. Shamans! Blessings upon you!
I had the most amazing experience at the Sydney ritual i can not explain just what it meant to me and i'm sure every other person that night .. You are just on another level and i'm glad i could be apart of it that night ! .. It was worth the multiple flights to get to Sydney just to see you all !... Thank you and may the gods bless you all
As someone who is Akwesasne Mohawk, it's amazing how similar that Heilung and music that goes back over a thousand years sounds so very familiar to chants and dances that my ancestors had and still do today, more proof that we are somehow in some way, all connected.
Since the release of Drif I listen it on repeat 24/7 and didn't get tired if it.. quite the contrary - it helps me so much calming down, meditate and inspire me. It really touch and heals the soul, thank you Heilung!
I don't understand a single word of what they sing because I'm Hellene but i can feel music and that's all we need. Thank you Heilung
I'll be darned if Drif isn't the most beautiful album I've ever heard, alongside Futha and Ofnir.
I love heilung. They opened my eyes in a lot of ways. The one i will mention here being, i didn't know, that music could actually hit me this way. It is so metaphysical it speaks to the soul in a way i have never felt before this music entered my life. I am of eastern Germanic/ Scandinavian decent, with some Irish. I live in America. I have been hooked for over 4 years now. It awakened something in me that i will never be able to turn away from, and the feeling, makes me feel very alive. And i had forgotten what alive feels like.
I really connected with this album and so glad I got experience Heilung in Asheville. I always find myself in trance when listening
Me too! It was a great performance. I’m still in a different headspace.
This album is so Raw...You can feel every single piece that was used to build this masterpiece
👍Take a look to the band NORDALUNA, it's good
What a fucking beautiful masterpiece as always from Heilung. I truly cherish every single song they create and since I discovered them I feel so happy and spiritually enriched
Interesting how a 'gathering' manifests at such a personal, individual level. Every bit as powerful and moving as your previous works, but instead of feeling the urge to move in response, the flow reverses and one absorbs the "others" and feel their strengths, weaknesses, kindness and beauty. Heilung, indeed. This is a revelationary (new word needed for new phenomenon) masterpiece. Simply brilliant.
Nesso is wonderful. A bit surreal hearing text, which I'd studied in school, set to music.
I love nesso its absolutely phenomenal and I have to say I love all there songs but have my favorites that most others do but I think this is my very favorite. I love listening to there music even though I dont the words I end up learning them and being able to sing in another language a dead language at that and one of the first languages ever spoken I may not can speak them but I can sing them by listening to heilung over and over lol
And I usually like to see what the songs translate too just so I can get a feel for the meaning of each one, so if you do speak the language used in Nesso I think I know what it was cuz it sounds similar to another one I mean the actually words the song dont sound the same but the same words I mean anyways if you do know what it translates too in English will you let me know please I would be grateful
@@llamaworm8263 is that what it translates too in English? Thank you so much I hope they make a video of Nesso its my new favorite! If you by chance know the original text that they sing it in im guessing maybe old norse but not sure. But if you happen to know they text of how there Singing it in that language could you send it too me too please if its not to much trouble thank you so much
@@llamaworm8263 also can you tell me is Nesso a song or poem or from runes anything about the history of it
2 seconds,... it took me 2 seconds,... and then I allready fell in this deep wonderful trance that Heiluing provides,.. thank you guys!
Came to listen to 'Nikkal' after finding out it's meant to be the oldest known full song we've found, but now I want to listen to the rest
I saw Heilung for the first time at Red Rocks this week after my sister had seen them live and reported that "it was the wildest thing i have ever seen" and I said "SIGN ME UP!". I love to bare witness to the extraordinary and so why not this one!?! Let me just say I will be going back for more. I have NEVER been so deeply moved by a live music event in my life and I've seen some sh!t. The morning after the show, I was sitting at a coffee house sipping on coffee and something moved inside of me that I burst out into tears. I was JUST laughing out loud, thinking about how I bought extra tickets and brought my friends who were more blind to the experience than I was. They didn't know anything about what they were walking into LMAOOOOOO They"d walk into a burning building with me. I love them so much :) One friend texted me for 3 days after the show about how weird it was and wtf did I bring him to lolol
Thank you for this daring album Heilung, Nikkal and Marduk helped my insomnia (in a good way) because the bowls at the end are just perfect.
a feast for old souls
I'm addicted to Asja! i cannot stop listening to it. I love it!
Whenever I lack energy or motivation, I listen to your tracks/chants. I feel it so strongly, there is such a primal and earthly energy coming from it. I just discovered your new album and I'm enchanted. Really helps me connect to parts of myself. Music can have this sort of magic, yours is filled with it. Hat's off, and a deep thank you.
Same here. often listen to them on my way to work. I just have to control my urge to growl on the train.
I would just like to say that your Music heals my soul, body and mind
Słucham leżąc i czuje jak łóżko się trzęsie , nic więcej nie potrzebuje.. dziękuje
By the time this album ended i was in a state of such relaxation that i was meditating and seeing visions, flowing water, i saw the stairway up.
Heilung has continued to hit my soul every time I have needed it. The music and the meaning behind the songs awakens an old part of my soul to give me a feeling that is difficult to describe. Its like you become part of the song heart mind and soul.
Everything they do is superb, i loved the vibe of this album especially Asja and Nesso
You can surely feel and tell the emotions in their music. and their videos. Congratulations to all of you who put this all together, Very impressive!!
I love that Urbani is the song the legionaries of the Legio X Equestris sung in Caesar's triumph.
It's made so well as well, right? You could really imagine the cohorts marching by double pace if you'd close your eyes. Amazingly immersive piece.
Some historians say the source piece might be the best evidence of a Roman marching cadence existing during a organized march and/or a triumph.
By The Gods: "Yes!" As a Retired Soldier, I felt this Cadence in My *SOUL*! (Past Life?!?)
Wow. I am speechless.
Literally, figuratively, mentally and emotionally breathtaking. Thank you
We need some homosexuals for our rituals
Didn't think much of it at first but this is starting to grow on me. Especially Anoana. Been a Heilung listener for years. This is the more sublime of their releases.
OK. This album KICKS ASS.
Thank you all so much for giving us lost humans a spark of the old touch again ❤️🔥
Early to every Heilung release! They changed my life and highly recommend them to others! Invested thousands of dollars in Klipsch reference professional speakers so I can hear them live every day
Three times have I stood in a Heilung Drif. Twice in Chicago and once at Red Rocks. The most recent was barely a month ago, but time seems to not apply to memories of a Heilung Drif. In some ways the evening at Red Rocks, twelve months gone by now, seems more close than the incredible immersion I underwent at the Radius in Chicago just four weeks ago. And from nearly three years past my initiation to the Oneness of Heilung at the Riviera in those last Good Old Days Before the Plague is in many ways a continuing experience.
Today, my copy of this album on clear vinyl finally arrived. I am reluctant to put needle to surface without having a gathering for the occasion, so concerned I am for protecting against decay, but now that I have paid good money and have product in hand, I am just now coming listening to this online version; I felt to do so earlier would be to defraud the great and worldwide Heilung Drif in a way. We must give before we take.
Eclectic, beautiful, chilling. So obviously Heilung and so much more expansive than their earlier albums that seemed to rely on an imaginary static landscape anchorded to a single place and time constructed uniquely by each listener. This album is riskier and demands more from the listener, taking you from moment to moment, each piece constructing , or perhaps returning to, its own universe that could exist and thrive with or without the surrounding material.
This is a step forward for Heilung, I am humbled to be carried along in their Drif.
So happy today to find this Album i desperately waited for. Anoana was so incrediblly breathtaking, unbelievable that these Heilung guys could even improve themselves. Man, what a Sound!
This is such an amazing piece of music and art, using it to help me focus on work right now, but at the same you can't help, but feel transferred into so many different spheres and landscapes. SKAL
This album is even better than the previous one. That seemed impossible to me. Congratulations.
Огромное спасибо вам ребята, умеете погружать! Будем живы- не помрём.
I found Heilung a couple years ago tracing my Lineage . I didn't understand a word but my soul did. When I need to ground myself I find my self in my back woods listening to heilung and seeing the world through the eyes of wolf . The more I listen to Heilung the more I want to be in the woods and close to the earth. Soon I'm sure I'm going to just vanish into the forest as it is a much better than life in modern society.
Last Song is truly amazing...
Very view people in this world dive into the old Sumerian/Babylonian Magick & Spiritual Philosophy.
Even more those who speak it on a daily basis or even writing poems in this dead tongue.
I wonder now, how Heilung perceive metaphysically and spiritually speaking
the adversarial battle between Marduk & Tiamat from Enuma Elish,
in the context of primordial dark divine feminine energies.
In all cases, it is a truly enigmatic & interesting song.
When I first heard heilung I wasn't a fan of much of the music. But this album, specifically Asja, anoana, Urbani, tenet, nesso are beautiful, tracks. I'm now a fan. Thank you for this.
My family was part of the frankish tribe, Marcomani tribe, an the other side is celtic/pictish and Nordic. So this music really resonated with me, even made me tear up a few times. Our ancestors did so much for us, we must keep our traditions and our people alive, for generations to come.
Nobody I am related to likes our music and I only know 1 person in real life who likes it but to me it is more than music as it became Magical, Historical, Spiritual, Artistic and just LIKE I HAVE been missing it all my Life! glad you like it too!!!
@@dalesenYes!!! Good stuff brother💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nesso is such a beautiful song!! Brought a tear to my eye!!!
Looked up the lyrics, it's a charm to draw parasites from the body to an arrow, where the disease can be shot into the distance where it can do no one harm. It makes the second half of the song very poignant cos it sounds as though she is pleading with it to go so it can't take anyone else she cares about away from her.
did you know: in this song the singer Maria Franz has actually cried during the singing and her singing were recorded in one take.

👍Take a look to the band NORDALUNA, it's good
I have listened to this album all the way through multiple times. It is beautiful, tragic, and mesmerizing all in one. I would love to share the feelings and imaginings it drew forth for me. These are very simply my own interpretations.
Excited to get to see Heilung @ Red Rocks in Colorado this April. The algorithm suggested them and I couldn’t be happier. This music is so guttural and real. I’m hypnotized and cannot get enough. I want to feel those drums pulsing through me ❤
I've been to concerts at Red Rocks in the late 80s. The amphitheater its self is magical, I can only imagine seeing them there, wow.
It was awesome! My only complaint is that since it’s an open air amphitheater, the bass from the drums wasn’t as prominent as I’d hoped. Otherwise, they fit that venue so well ❤
Amazing all track 👌🍻 słuchając Heilung człowiek przenosi się do innego wymiaru
The cd just came in yesterday, It's good.
Goes well with their other 3 cd's. As long as their rituals bring peace along my path through life,
I welcome it. Frith fellow Heathens/Pagans/Wiccans. I wish you well on your individual journeys.

Thank you season for the heart.....
The only gift I can give back right now is a like and subscription. If you were anywhere around Frostproof FL I would be honored to have you feast at my table.
I just love this.
I get excited about getting to the end so I can start again!
All I can say is.. BACK TO THE ROOTS HUMANS!! Thats our way!
Everytime I listen to You Heilung, it feels like opening a VERY old photobook of mine with hundreds of 'shortcuts' from a verylongago life.. With many emotional ups and downs.. Although I mostly dont understand a word (except the Runes 😇) it feels very 'familiar'! Often I sit here (or even dance) and have to cry, because you touch the deepest depths of my heart & soul & being..
I listen for a few years to Heilung and it helped me to remember more and more.. For example: I know now why I had such a bad struggle with 'church' or even the Word 'god' and just everything counting to 'religion'.. Throu all my life... it gave me SUCH a bad feeling.. Today I know its that **** echoe from past live(s)!
Thank You so much for doing what You are doing 💖
Light ✨ with You 💫 every day ✨
Gaya and the Runes shall always be with You ✨
Literally only 1 minute into listening to this and I know it’s going to be a masterpiece.
Stunning. Amazing. Magic. Pagan. I love it.
It makes me emotional every time i feel Maria's voice turning from angry and determined to desperate and hurt in Nesso. So much so that it sounds supplicant, like she is begging for whatever it is to leave them be.
That's interesting, I've never thought of her voice as angry but it makes sense. Now I feel the turn from anger at the beginning to desperation, despair and finally acceptance.
Like our ancestors, even with all the technology and science at the present, sometimes all you can do is the praying, bargaining and hoping.
Must say that I am delighted to hear her sing in a deeper voice on this album too.
Saw them live yesterday. It was an experience everyone has to make at least once in their life. The connection, the atmosphere, the ritual, the show, the crowd, how each single instrument and all different vocals make such breathtaking music, and much more
The location wasn't great tho. Would be best to see them play in the middle of a forest 🌲
I may never get to see them, did it change your life?
@@watevatube i dont think they meant it in a bad way. But theyre right. Heilungs ritual IS amazing. But if you ever get a chance, you really should go and see them! ❤
Its a dream that I would be able to one day to experience seeing Heilung in a live ritual, my soul longs for it!!
Can't wait to see them tonight in Milan, Italy!
Неизменно восхитительно!!! Полное растворение в музыке во время прослушивания... А когда затих последний звук последнего трека, еще какое-то время ощущение, будто время замерло, а вибрации продолжаются внутри тела и в окружающем пространстве... Спасибо за это волшебство! Обожаю вас, Heilung!!!🖤🖤🖤
I kept having bad days at work and personal for no real reason for a couple weeks. Felt like bad energy was surrounding me. I helt a private ritual over this (Chaos Magic). Everyday has been a blessing since.
