It's actually youtube who has the video monetized but they didn't put any ads and YT's algorythim is doing everything. Source? Well, I listened two times to this video in two different times of the day. What happened was that I got first an ad at the end and the second time an ad at the beginning.
Normally I hate live recordings because I feel the cheering is always interrupting the music. But here? It feels so organic like they're singing it at a bonfire and there's a massive crowd dancing all around hooting and hollering. This sounds, by far, MUCH better than the studio recording. This one emanates raw, unconstrained power. And I love it.
I bet that's what they were aiming for in their music. They're trying to show history with their music, and you didn't have fancy recording studios and computer editing 2000 years ago in the forests of Gaul or Germania. You had your tribe and the shaman. And the occasional human sacrifice.
The song's title can be found in the Mesogothic Anglo-Saxon glossary as "In-Maidjan", which means "deceptively change" or "corrupt". This makes sense since the entire story within the album consists of a peaceful village that is corrupted by having to go to war. Therefore, Proto-Germanic seems to be the language. Harigasti Teiwa Harigasti Teiwa "is a clear Germanic reference to the Negau helmet. This helmet contains several Etruscan alphabet inscriptions that include the words" Harigasti teiwa which are the first words of the song. This could be translated as Harigast (the priest) although it could also mean, the priest of Teiwaz (Tyr). "Harigast" is often (not always) seen as a personal name and that it could be made up of the words "harjaz" (army, troop, warband, war) and gastiz (stranger, guest). The forms "Hari" and "gast" is particularly found in west-germanic. As such the name could mean "war guest" or "foreign army". Tawol Athodu - I accept the invitation. Ek Erilaz - I am a runemaster. The word has been interpreted to mean magician or runemaster. The word is an ablaut variant of count and it is believed that it could be linguistically related to the name of the tribe of the Heruli or Herulos. The Heruli were a Germanic tribe from Scandinavia that was invaded by the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. So it is probably simply an old military title of Germanic provenance. Owlthuthewaz - owlthu (glorious) thewaz (servant). Means servant of the glorious Niwaremariz - Priest of the god "Ullr" / famous, renowned. From the proto-Germanic term Wulþuz (glory) wolþu- is possibly a reference to a God, surely the God Ullr. Saawilagar Hateka - My name is Sawilagaz. Harja - Army - leader of the army; commander; Warrior Wuotani Ruoperath Wuotani - Oh, Wodan! Ruoperath - famous and brilliant. This could be interpreted as the following: I, Priest Harigast. Aaccept the invitation (to battle) I am the Heruli. I am a renowned priest of Ullr. They call me Warrior. Oh, Wodan the famous and brilliant! The next chant are the names of the 24 Norse runes of the Elder Futhark. This is also known as runic song. Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, Kenaz, Gebo, Wunjo, Hagal, Naudhiz, Isa, Jera, Eihwaz, Perthro, Algiz, Sowelu, Tiwaz, Berkano, Ehwaz, Mannaz, Laguz, Ingwaz, Dagaz, Othala. In English: Wealth, Aurochs, Thorn, Divine Breath, Travel, Torch, Gift, Joy, Hail, Need, Ice, Harvest, Tree, Luck, Elk, Sun, Creator, Birch tree, Horse, Man, Water, Fertility, Day, Home. Odin, prepare for battle! A hug.
You got that right. I’m a veteran of lots of concerts over 45 years and I saw them in January 2020 and walked away feeling like I saw something that felt quite different. It was totally enthralling.
I discovered this band while lying in the hospital after breast cancer surgery. Dark room. Alone. In pain. Headphones and iPhone. Listened to everything I could find-for hours. Felt stronger. Alive. A warrior. Makes sense Heilung means cure, healing.
Imagine being a Roman legionnaire. Sitting in your camp waiting for a battle the next day and you hear this in the distance but sung with a chorus of 100,000 voices. In the trees. In the dark. Far. Far from home. Dudes had balls.
Romans probably didn't mind too much, probably found a lot of comfort in being the massively superior fighting force, also there would probably not be 100,000, "barbarian" tribes generally had a hard time working together and generally avoided the legions in pitched battle in favor of quick strikes on vulnerable Roman cohorts or columns
@@peachieos9477 ha, sorry, I got my masters in ancient history and kinda love to dig in whenever i get the opportunity, sometimes end up writing an accidental novel
No the Romans would have been absolutely terrified. The Germanic tribes were notorious for their cruelty and the terror they ensued in the legions. Imagine being a member of the legions in Teutoburg Forest, after the initial assault, the legion was split. Many ended up in the swampy areas of the forest and were hunted like prey by the Germanic tribes.
It's Elder Futhark, a lot of Norse Pagans know at least some of the language, and from 3:55 to 7:15, they're literally just singing the alphabet, so......
yes...I can imagine...been trying to learn Norse...."d o e s n o t c o m p u t e" I think it would be easier to learn German at this point and then try Norse...
Side Effects of Heilung include: spear making, beard growth in men, a feeling of power and a warrior spirit in women. If the urge to strip naked and howl at the moon lasts for more than 3 hours consult your local shaman.
Lyrics expanded or why I love this song. 1. *harigasti teiva* This inscription was found on one of the so called Negau helmets, written in Etruscian alphabet (there are some conspicuous similarities to the runic alphabet!). Dated back ca. 350 BC - 200 BC, though the inscription is younger, still these may be in fact the earliest attested resp. oldest known words written in Germanic at all! Yet there is something odd about their appearance: As obvious as Harigasti matches the reconstructed Germanic compounds _Harja-gastiz_ , therefore read as the name of the helmets owner, it's hard to avoid the fact that such personal name never became widely used, no Gothic Harigasts, no Old Norse Hárgastr or Hergestr, no Old English Heregiest, only once at least there were few persons named Herigast in Old High/Low German. Although Harigasti represents the first sound shift (Grimm's law) in a seemingly finished state, yet around 120 BC the names of the Cimbri and Teutones still appear in a reverse shape when romanized Chimbri and Theudones should be expected - therefore still provoking tempestuous debates today. The most logical opinion may be the Romans received both names via Celtic transmission. because solving their linguistic inconsistency by labeling them just as Celtic tribes (utterly ignoring what some Roman authors stated) doesn't simply work. Wandering southward they raided other Germanic and Celtic tribes as they also confederated with Celtic tribes, e.g. their leader's name _Boiorix_ (Celt. _Boio-rîkos, Boio-rîx_ > Germ. _Boio-rîkaz_ ) obviously traces back to the Boii they met in nowadays Bohemia (lat. _Boiohaemum_ = actually a loanword brought to Romans by Germanic tongue, meaning homeland of the Celtic Boii, a compound of Celtic _Boio-_ > Germ. _*Baia-haima_ ). And the Cimbric name _Gaesorix_ appears latinized for Celt. _Gaiso-rîkos, Gaiso-rîx_ which in turn might have been a celtisized form of Germ. _Gaiza-rîkaz_ (Goth. _Gaisarîks_ = Geiseric) Nevertheless, ancient scholars considered them both Teutones and Cimbri to be Germanic, aside the fact, that some labeled the Jutlandic peninsula (Jylland) as „chersonesus cimbrica“ resp. Greek „kimbrikè chersónesos“ = „Cimbrian peninsula“. I know, far off topic: it's overall important for this matter to mention both Danish regions Himmersyssel (older: _Himbersysæl_ ) and Thyland (older: _Thythæsysæl_ ), whether some Celto-philes like it or not. Tracing back to Proto-Germanic stems _himbra-_ and _þeudana-_ 2. *Tawo-laþodu* Bracteate II 189 near Trollhättan (Västergötland) between 200-600 CE read: _tawô laþôdu_ „(I) prepared (the) invitation“ could be taken as a funny reference for this song itself: „Let's get the party started“ 3. *ek erilaz* „I the Earl “ (the Heruli tribe to *Erula/*Erila? Otherwise they belong to _heru-_ ) Northwest-Germanic _erilaz / erilaR_ a title found on a few inscriptions that continues in Old Norse _jarl_ . See Old English _eorl_ (some may think of the „Eorlingas“ = the ones descending of Eorl, in LOTR) where in Modern English „earl“ is still used. Goth. _„ik airils (irils?)“_ OHG. _„ih erl“_ OE. _„ic eorl“_ 4. *owlþuþewaz - niwajemariz* Thorsberg chape ca. 200 CE read: _„Wolþu- = Wulþu-þêwaz, ni-waije-mâriz“_ „Wulþuz-thew“ „*not-woe-mere“ = Servant of Ullr / *Wuldor - the not bad famous one = the renowned one“ Goth. _„Wulþus-þius, ni-wai-mêris“_ OHG. _„Wuldar-dio, ni-wê-mâri“_ OE. _„Wuldor-þeo, ni-weo-mǣre“_ 5.(ek erilaz) *sawilagaz haiteka* Lindholm amulet around 200/300 CE read: first interpretation: _„Ek erilaz - sa Wilagaz haiteka“_ „I (the) earl - the wily hote-I“ (the keen/deceitful I'm called) O.N. _„Ek jarl - sa Vílagr heitek“_ Goth. _„Ik airils (irils) - sa Weilags haitik“_ (ik haito) OHG. _„Ih erl - der Wîlago heizzih“_ (ih heizzu) OE. _„Ic eorl - se Wîliga hâtic“_ (ic hâte) second interpretation: _„Ek erilaz - Sawilagaz haiteka“_ „I (the) earl - Sawilagaz hote-I“ 1. = Sunny / 2. Saiwilagaz? = Souly ON _„Ek jarl - Sólagr heitek“_ Goth. _„Ik airils (irils) - Sunnaga (Sauilaga) haitik“_ / _ Saiwalaga haitik_ OHG. _„Ih erl - Sunnago (*Sôligo?) heizzih“_ / _Sêlago heizzih_ OE. _„Ic eorl - Sunniga (*Sôliga?) hâtic“_ / _Sæliga hâtic_ 6. *harja* Vimose comb 120 CE, probably the oldest known inscription in Elder Futhark. As in Harigasti,the element was commonly used adressing a warrior. Especially the large data we have from personal names. In the first century a Batavian named _Chariovalda_ , he bore one of the most common Germanic names: Hariwald, Harald, Heralt, Herold, Harold etc. 7. *fehu ûruz þurisaz ansuz raido kênaz…* The reconstructed names of the runes in their supposed Proto-Germanic shape based on early manuscripts written around the 8th and 9thcentury containig runic alphabets, also found on the Frankish-German continent, many of them trace back to an Anglo-Saxon origin, like the Isruna-Manuscript (9th century, St. Gallen, Cod. Sangg. 270) influenced by Old High German, another list of Anglo-Saxon runes was found in the Alcuin-MS. (8th / 9th century, Vienna, Cod. Vind. 795), followed by the one time only attested names of the Gothic letters on the back of the same folio. Also the Hrabanic-Runes (the monk Hrabanus Maurus, his OHG name Hraban literaly means Raven) or so called Marcomannic Runes, which are still a mystery, partially influenced by Anglo-Saxon runes, they may be in fact remnants of the otherwise unknown continental Germanic tradition (Suebic>Alemannic/Frankish) of the pre-Christian era. Examples of just a few mythological names we will clearly recognize: ansuz - aza (Goth. ans / anza > âza?) Alcuin Gothic / _anseis_ plural in Jordani Getica - os (O.E. ôs) Alcuin A-S / Isruna _oos_ / plural dative _êsa_ in the Lacnunga: Wið færstice - ans (OHG. ans) cf. names Ansberaht, Ansgêr, Anshelm, Ansolf etc. - as (Proto-Norse *ans- > O.N. áss) s. Edda Tîwaz - tyz (goth. *Teiws [*Tîws] > *Tius) Alcuin Gothic - ti (O.E. Tîw) Alcuin A-S / Isruna / cf. tîwesdæg = tuesday - ziu (OHG. Zîw > Ziu) Hraban Marcomannic Runes / cf. *zîwestac > zîestac = Zeistag - tyr (Proto-Norse *TiwaR > *TiuR > O.N. Týr) s. Edda / plural _tívar_ = gods / týsdagr > tisdag Ingwaz (cf. Ingvaeones) - enguz (Goth. *Iggws read *Ingws > *Ingus) - ing (O.E. Ing) s. _frea ingwina_ in Beowulf (Ingwina-Frea) - ing (O.N. Yngvi, Ing-) s- Ingvy-Freyr - ing, inc (OHG. Ing) cf. names Ingberaht, Inghild, Ingmâr, Ingolf 8.**wuotani ruoperath* (th ht) I've never heard of these words, first I thought the only reference to connect both components at least might have been commented in Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie (Teutonic Mythology), even there no signs are given. We know, there is a mythological figure named Ruprecht in Germany (in Tyrol/Austria also kown as Krampus). Old High German _„Hruodberaht / Hruodbperaht > Ruodberht, Ruodbreht“_ (Rubrecht, Ruprecht / Rubert, Rupert, Robert … OE _Hrôþbeorht_ > Robert) both elements of _Ruprecht_ O.H.G „(h)ruod“ + „beraht“ mean the „famous+bright“ one (bright=shining, glory) and are often considered to be attributes, based on a pre-Christian figure, likely _Wuotan_ himself, s. The Wild Hunt in the Alemannic terms Wüetisheer/Wuetesheer (O.H.G _Wuotanes heri_ > NHG _Wutens Heer_ ) an army of dead/ghosts lead by Wuotan (Wodan) during the nights after Christmas, with a link to the so called _Perchtenläufe_ in Bavarian/Alpine regions. Also a faint look at the hypothetical Bavarian goddess „Perchta“ next to the term Rauhnächte for the Twelfth Night (OHG _rûh-nahti_ = etym. _rough nights_ ), _Rûh-perchta_ obviously implies „ _Ruodperht_ “ = „Ruprecht“ . Certainly it shouldn't be attached to much importance on it, even if there were connections, but one cannot deny it is incredible eye-catching (!!!) - So, whether these words „Wuotani ruoperaht“ do exist or not, it's most likely to read in a vocative case „Oh, Wuotan (the) famous and bright one“, but wuotan-i could also suggest a dativ case "(to) Wuotan, the famous and bright one ", depending on the virtue of the piece of metal or stone this inscription was written. About the spelling of Wodan, Wotan, Wuotan etc. in short: _Wuotan_ is the actual standardized and seldom attested Old High German form next to the earlier _Wôdan_ (the oldest known evidence of the name, the runic inscription of the Nordendorf fibula _„wodan“_ in the 6th century, Paulus Diaconus Historia Langobardorum _„uuotan, uuodan_ ). Even _uuodan_ in the Merseburger Charms has to be read as uuuodan (Wuodan) actually, Germanic ô appears completely diphthongized throughout both charms! Cf. place names as found in the Breviarium St. Lulli _wuodensberg / wuodaneshusun / wuoteneshusun_ . Compare the unattested Old Low Franconian (Old Dutch) „Wuodan“ (hence _Woeden_ in _Woensdag_ ) In the late Middle Ages the so called Nachtsegen mentions a _wutan_ and _wutanes her_ , a rather mysterious piece written in a form of dialect older than the mansucript itself, the supposed Middle German dialect is indicated by the reducing of O.H.G and M.H.G „uo“ to the monophthong u, as it then became a main feature of the standardized spelling of New High German ( _wuotan_ > _Wuten_ cf. guot > gut) unlike Upper German dialects, where we still speak the diphthong ( _Wueten_ - see Alemannic: _Wuete_ < _Wuetesheer, Wüetisheer_ , in my own dialect it would be _Wuata_ ).Though as it seems common sense, the modern usage of „Wotan“ has to be nothing more than a created spelling by Wagner, one may not forget the Langobardic „wotan“.
every time I set this video on to listen I read this post again and learn something new from it- thank you so much for posting the background on the lyrics!
Kinda wish that @Heilung would pin it actually so it doesn't get buried and people can use it as a reference for their further research. Also- just have to say I absolutely use the runic invocation to help me learn and remember the furthark and while it's been said many a time before- it is *the* best ABC song ever.
@Antipersonenmine Neither of them. At the age of 14 (2001) when I fell in love with the ancient Germanic history, I did a rather amateurish presentation for my school class, a sketchy outline about the history of German and its dialectal variety. Since then, almost every day, I think and work about the question, how the German (Alemannic-Swabian) spoken in my hometown might have sounded, especially during the Old High German period and further back in time, yet, to be honest and moreover realistic, it's even not quite sure, what the vernacular just around 1500 exactly sounded. My comment had no other purpous, than to show the meaning of the words in a lose/vage common Germanic context, although, often, I start to get nitpicking, when I read names as Donar and Odin placed next to each other or vice versa Thor and Woden. Of course, there was never such a thing, as a common cultural spirit in the mind of Germanic tribes, otherwise we wouldn't have to read about "hundreds" of different tribal names fighting and confederating with each other throughout the centuries. On the one hand, it may be assumed, the actual Viking culture represented a more or less untouched Germanic culture in the 8th century, whereas the Anglo-Saxon and Frankish-German areas were heavily influenced by the Romano-Celtic world centuries ago until the christianization had the final impact. On the other hand though, at some early point around the Great Migration and before, the Norse culture already diverged from the south, the cultural sphere on the Scandinavian peninsula experienced a different fate, it could be argued, that the North Germanic (Scandinavian) branch was cut off the continent, thus, the Jutes and former tribes of the Jutlandic peninsula originally were Ingvaeonic (West Germanic) until the Dani (Danes) came from modern Sjælland. The major problem is, the linguistic evidence on this topic isn't clear enough, in our recent decades the predecessor of Old Norse, Proto-Norse got almost synonymous with the model of the so called Northwest Germanic branch, grouping the North and the West Germanic languages by shared features (s/z > r rhotacism / lowering of Germanic ê to â : *swêƀa- > *swâƀa-) in opposition to the East Germanic branch (represented by Gothic and very little traces of Vandalic and Burgundian) which didn't underwent those changes, yet, it is not quite sure, if Gothic and Vandalic were completely unproductive about umlauts, after the Gothic bible translation by Wulfila, during the following centuries attested names as well as the mentioned Gothic alphabet by Alcuin show yet small but exisiting hints. Well, I lose myself again ;-) - I just wanted to be clear on the linguistic level, nevertheless, my methods are amateurish, actually, a lot of details and connections I had to withdraw. Far too often, the Germanic and Norse cultures are mingled without the actual context of time. Sure, I like to recreate mythological names attested in the Edda in their supposed West Germanic resp. German form, but that's just fun, because we don't know, if a Suebi around the first century BC believed in the nine worlds. Although, the belief in the idea of a divine triad was stated by Tacitus. Mannus (*Mannuz/*Mannaz) father of men/humans (cf. in Hinduism Manu), son of the earth-born Tuisco/Tuisto (the remaining copies of Taciti Germania show both variants, the proximity of both graphs t and c in older manuscripts makes it impossible to say, which reading should be regarded as the original. Tuisco/Tuisto, the hermaphroditic entity (1. from *Tîwisko sing. neut. the "divine being" relating to Tîwaz name | 2. to the root twist- or twisk-, cf. Engl. twist, (be)tween, betwain resp. O.E. *tweosc > (be)tweox, compare Germ. "zwischen", speaking for its dualistic nature). The three sons of Mannus are seen in the names of Istvaeones/Iscvaeones, Ingvaeones and Erminones. *Ermanaz / *Erminaz = The Great One *Ingwaz, the actual meaning remains unsure, some speculate an ablaut (gradation) to the *ang- stem (Angli, Angri) *Istwaz? / *Iskwaz?, a name that didn't survive, thus, no logical interpretation can be given. If we might neglect other unnamed sons of Mannus, the three main examples could be regarded synonymous with the mythological triad as in the Norse mythology, even their alliterating nature (Ing-, Ist/Isk-, Erm-/Irm-) is echoing 1000 years later through Óðinn (Wôđinaz), Vili (Wiljo), Vé (Wîha[n]), a rather particular fact that has to be pointed out.

Odin, prepare for battle! The title itself can be found in Mœso-Gothic Glossary from Anglo-Saxon as "In-Maidjan" which means "to change deceitfully" or "to corrupt". This makes sense since the entire story within Heilung's album consists of a peaceful village being corrupted by having to go to war. Therefore, Proto-Germanic seems to be the language this is from. "Harigasti Teiwa" is a Germanic reference to the Negau Helmet that contains various inscriptions including the words "harigasti teiwa(z)" which means "Harigast the priest". Though it could also mean "war god" since "hari" can be translated to war/warbringer, "gasti" as guest/person, and "teiwa(z)" as "god". Teiwa(z) (spelled as Tiwaz) is also the proto-Germanic name for the Norse God, Týr. For the sake of the song's theme, I went with "Come, guest Tyr" as this line was about invoking a God for war. Part of "Ek Erilaz Owlthuthewaz Niwaremariz Saawilagar Hateka Harja" can be found in the Lindholm Amulet where the line "ekerilazsa[w]ilagazhateka" or "Ek erilaz Sawilagaz haite'ka" is carved. Based on what wikipedia says about this: "This translates to "I am (an) erilaz (a rune master), I am called the wily" (or "I am called Sawilagaz). If the word in first line is translated as a name, Sawilagaz means "the one of the Sun (Sowilo)." If the word is translated as "the wily" or "crafty one" or "deceitful one," then it may be related to a byname of Odin or another god." We can use this to help translate. "Harja" from Anglo-Saxon means "army". "Ha Hu Hi He Ho He Hi Ha Hu" means nothing other than a chanting. The next bit are just names for Old Norse runes from the elder futhark, also known as the rune chant. They hold no particular meaning together in a sentence and instead are just supposed to be individual names. I did translate the runes in the chant based off their meanings but, again, did not put them into a sentence considering that that would be like trying to say the alphabet as a sentence. Note: certain runes (such as Ingwaz (Ing) and Perthro) can have slightly different translations based on the source. "Wuotani Ruoperath" seems to mean "Odin, prepare for battle" in Old High German. "Au Is Urki" (actually Alu Is Urki) can be heard in the last line of their last song "Hamrer Hippyer" where it means "May it be of help" or "may it heal/stop them" in Old Norse. Though i wasn't able to find anything on the other lines in the last bit, so I only translated Alu Is Urki.
It's always so exciting to see ppl use that "w" sound, not just Odin, cuz on my homelands ppl actually used V due to pronouncing differences and the name was pronounced as Vodin and literally meant a man who leads people, we still have the name Vadim which was flexed from it, sad thing is that ppl are just too lost to remember that
People who knew Heilung before Hellblade, good for you People who discovered Heilung thanks to Hellblad, good for you, too! We are all brothers and sisters!!
@@Nobrain_videos If you are so upset about the motto of Heilung you better leave quickly. >"Remember that we all are brothers All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind We all descend from the one great being That was always there Before people lived and named it Before the first seed sprouted"
That vocal solo of Maria Franz is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I’ve ever heard in music, across all songs and genres. The instrumentals backing her are an absolute perfect fit. That whole part of the song just puts me into a trance every time.
Some of the things she does with her voice are like what kids do when they are just mumbling to themselves. Its like they are normal human sounds but language and social norms discourage them.
Everyone’s talking about Maria’s incredible solo in the later part of the song and her chanting with the other singers (both instances are incredible) but what really shook me was her banshee howl at 2:37. Seriously that sounded like a demon had come to reap my soul when I first heard it.
I'm trying to imagine a world where a band like Heilung is invited onto the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in the 60's, and the ensuing freakout from the general American population who would undoubtedly see this music as "Satanic"; and I can't help but marvel at how much musical tastes have changed over a few short decades. For people who say that there's no good music being made anymore, my response to you is that you're not looking hard enough.
100% this. They're never looking hard enough. But my God that's a glorious mental image both imagining Johnny Carson's intro and then reaction to these guys, and imagining all the "perfect" little families in their little suburban homes hearing this. Children crying, women screaming and fainting, men smashing their beer in indignation, grandma's clutching their bibles, but as they keep chanting and beating those drums, Johnny Carson and some of the viewers start ripping off their shirts and stomping around their living rooms while their children run in terror. Sorry I got a little carried away there lol
It's the cycle of culture-counterculture. I mean, you have actual satanic music published nowadays and nobody bats an eye. The soccer mums and their ilk have been the laughing stock of pop culture for decades. And it'll probably change again by 2050. Maybe we'll go evangelical once more. Maybe something completely different.
@@semaj_5022 at the end we are nothing but one people split into multiple tribes by geographical limitations, those limitations are being broken and we will become one people once again. I see this type of music not European or African or whatever, I see it as a universal language. Everyone can understand the emotions conveyed by this music.
first time listening: its ok. second time listening : its good. third time listening: TAWOL ATHODUEK ERILAZ OWLTHUTHEWAZNIWAREMARIZ SAAWILAGARHATEKA HARJA
From all Heilung songs, I can sing this one back to end flawlessly (probably not, but I sure have had a lot of practice :D). This entire song, is an incredible breathing exercise. It requires long sustained breaths, especially the chant, but it's a great way to oxygenate your body. In that sense alone, they are true to their name. Such wonderful souls
Some good mushrooms and it will be the trippiest thing on the planet! I know the northmen did them all the time! That’s how the got to the berserker state when fighting!
I introduced Heilung to my partner and he loved them, too, which was fucking great. We watch their live sets on RUclips all the time and talk about how amazing it would be to watch them in person. Turns out they’re touring Australia next year and we looked up buying tickets but they were $348 each so we agreed we couldn’t afford it (also out of our city so add in costs for travel and accommodation). This morning was Christmas morning and among other gifts, my partner totally surprised me to say the he had booked us two nights stay in Sydney AND tickets to see Heilung play in Sydney 😭😭 I am soo fucking excited to see them, finally, for myself!!!
I see loads of people complaining about new people comming because of hellblade, but i have been a folk metal listener for 3 years and just now discovered the band because of hellblade, new people are enjoying not because is some kind of trend, but because the band is really good.
@@Getnodrama wach word represents a rune. We named this runic system "futhark" after first sounds of first words on the list. Fehu, Uruz, THurisaz, etc. Think if this as one badass alphabet song.
Ya know.. I was just thinking about how everytime I attempt to listen to a mere 12 and a half minutes, there's like 2-3 ads.! Wtf!? RUclips must know that there is power in Galdr, and don't want us hearing this in it's entirety w/o interruptions..
I hope this kind of music never dies. This is our roots and it doesn't matter who you are, this music makes you feel something. It's something old and ancient but you feel it in you and it brings people together, especially with nature.
Not everyone, apparently. My mom finds it creepy and weird, and my dad just thinks is "Viking Music" so that's the only reason he even gave it a chance. He doesn't see it as history but more like those modern "viking style" songs that may not even have a tie to the culture. It feels like im the only one in my family that feels anything about it.
In our current timeline, its politically incorrect for whyte Europeans to acknowledge their own history or claim anything is exclusively theirs. Our ancestors' ancient symbols were banned after WWII, our statues and monuments desecrated, and we can't even celebrate the accomplishments of our forefathers without giving credit to the third world, as if they played a role in creating western civilization. Reject the globalists' propaganda and their prescription for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's okay to love your people, to feel a connection. This is love speech, not hate speech lol.
I counted 26 thumps of the drum before the cycle repeats so I think it’s TECHNICALLY 13/4 but it’s funny because only now do we really worry about time and how everything fits. Back in time drums were more like a running current than a backbone.
maria's part in this is probably the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my entire life. i've listened to this so many times and every time it feels like the first time hearing it. i have to literally stop whatever it is i'm doing and just let it go through me
The reason why everyone was so quiet was because we all were in a trance. I talked to people the next day and they all said it was the craziest thing I have ever experienced yet the best thing ever😍
All of the words they sing in this song have amazing stories behind them, but I'm writing this comment to share the story of the rune Sowilō which can be heard in the middle of the chant. You the reader probably already know what this word means on an intuitive level, but just to make sure, it's Sun, or Saule if you're latvian, or солнце if you're russian, or sol if you're portuguese or słońce if you're a polack, etc. Every slavic person, every anglo-saxon or germanic person, most Europeans like French, Spanish, Greek, whatever for this matter will see their word for "sun" in Sowilō if they try hard enough. It's an ancient word indeed. But it is young compared to the original. Before Sowilo was born, there was only one sun for all of our ancestors, and it was called Sóhwl̥ in the common tongue of the Indo-European nomads. Take a break from whatever you are doing right now and spare a thought or two on this matter. Try to remember that we all are brothers and sisters under one sun. Just like our words, our traditions, our gods, our morals, our ways of life evolved from a single common seed. Carve its image into your mind and your heart, live by its calling. Reflect on it next time you deal with your brother or sister and treat them as such. It is never too late. You have the power to change yourself and the world around you for the better!
Very true Artyom. It makes me think how family and relationships meant more to our ancestors than it does to us now. Perhaps we have forgotten something throughout our centuries under the same sun.
I didn’t even connect the different entomologies and their Indo-European origin! I really wish that civilization wasn’t essentially erased from history.

@@MimosaPapi Estevan, the language since it wasn't mentioned seems to be Proto-Germanic to me. None of the names of Týr are spelled like Tiewa in any language after Proto-Germanic. Týr (Old Norse), Tíw (Old English), and Ziu (Old High German) and all of those stem from the Proto-Germanic deity Tîwaz, also spelled Teiwaz.

I seriously am blown away by Maria's singing. When she's singing and holding those notes with the drums in the background my entire body gets goosebumps the hairs on my arms stand up my eyes get very watery and my breathing gets heavier. Not exaggerating I mean this literally. I see myself running in a field much like a wheat field on a sunny day gentle breeze blowing, everything seems in slow motion. I seriously feel different when I listen to them. As I've stated in others videos of this same concert. I feel so comfortable so relaxed. I feel a sense of familiarity something seems familiar and I can't explain it. I feel as if I'm remebering myself of a different life. I love this group. Maria has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard and is my favorite female singer. The male singers throat singing are very talented and as a whole they sing so well together
I know that band from years...and listened to this song for first time in a long time... the same reaction as yours. Something familiar....home...tears coming down, heavy breathing, sadness, power, just a blast of emotions...all kinds
I worked at a used bookstore, and one of our regulars is a guy about 65 or so who is a music fanatic. Any style, any era, he will listen to it. He has stories of meeting every band you've ever heard of from the 60s and 70s when they passed though Cleveland. My wife and I love trying new music, and he came in one day and handed her a piece of paper with "Heilung: LIFA" on it. She said she would listen to it later on lunch break. He quickly held up his hand. "No." You have to watch the video of the whole live performance. Trust me." Of course, we did. When she went home she brought up the video of the performance, figuring she could try it for a few minutes as the performance began, then she would have dinner. She said she suddenly noticed that the performance was ending, it had been an hour, and she had not thought of food or anything else. The music had CONSUMED her.
ok I have to express utter admiration as a classically trained musician here: When they're singing the main verse (aka the Elder Futhark rune names) they're singing it in 7/4 DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PLAY/SING ANYTHING IN 7/4????? these guys REALLY know their stuff!!!!
in every really lifting and communicating harmony and rythm, i've always noticed that they used an odd number as a base. pair numbers are boring in music.
Nah, they're in ceremony. Send a night raid while they're busy. Stealth is key. Send the rest of the legion to encircle. Maybe more of them will die then us.
Feeling the same way for the past few months. Incredibly depressed, been keeping myself locked up in room, and when Im outside, I stay away from everyone and keep headphones on. Been feeling really numb. This music has been helping a bit though.
Me watching the “Hellblade 2” trailer: oh damn I felt that in my bones. Wait, a modern band made this?!? And the song is longer? And there’s more of this?!? I’m Chinese-American btw and I suddenly feel the urge to make my ancestors proud on the field of battle. Does it make cultural sense, fuck no, but off to battle!!!
@@deep-fried-zombie699 to be honest I really have no idea. While I can say the people of the time didnt write much of anything down, we also lost alot of history in those times because of ot
For the newcomers: Heilungs concept is mostly based around artifacts (such as tablets) from the pagan/bronze/iron age found in middle and northern europe. They describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern europe". If you are into stuff like that i HIGHLY(!) reccomend Einar Selviks "Wardruna". He made the soundtrack to Vikings. Middle european history nerd flies away
Listening to them always makes me feel like we've all strayed too far from where we are supposed to be as animals, and the what we've done to the world is unforgivable. That I'm not supposed to be sitting at my computer in a room on the third story of a concrete building, in an urban sprawl with no real wilderness for a hundred miles around me, and working at a job I hate day in and day out. It makes me feel like there has to be more to life than this
Thats exactly the same shit im thinking about. Who needs money and time and making technology that grows cancer. We call ourself human, but were still animals, and every animal should life in the nature
I think the problem is we build us a cage with money and time, i meant the sort of time:" you have to be at your job again in 12 hours."- no, the only thing i have to do is looking for some food for the day, thats it. And i think if we could pass this cage we wouldnt feel like "there should be mor like this in life"
Aditya Bhagwat you're probably not wrong. Arabic traders attested to the fact that the Germanic tribes had what they thought were absolutely terrible singing voices. They described them as scratchy and coming from deep within the throat so perhaps they were describing precisely how these male members of Heilung sing
@Theta Dream You couldn't possibly be more incorrect about Heavy metal and Death metal origins. One google search would save you this awkward fate; Heavy metal had it's cultural origins in the UK, while Death metal became most known in the US during it's rise to fame. Just because Scandinavia was fucking metal back in the day (like 900s), does not mean a genre started there.
Imagine being back in kindergarten, and everyone starts singing the alphabet song, then you brake out singing this one Instead while wearing a viking helmet and beating a drum.
Prehistoric drums were often meant to simulate the beating of a heart. It’s how many cultures were able to attain trance and ecstasy states. It’s not just audibly grounding but physically as well, with the vibrations of the drums and dancing of feet.
Even though I am an Indian, but listening to Heilung makes me feel more related to them. It's like the music brings out a primal nature inside you which you can feel more related to.
i am a filipino my maharlikha spirit is resurrecting i hope my country bring back our pre-colonial music, culture that is lost because of spanish occupation of Philippines
I have Aztec roots from my mother's side, and Nordic culture is probably the second "ancient" culture that really speak to me after my own, in my mind, Central/South American tribes and the nordic people have always sort of felt like kindred spirits despite living on almost opposite sides of the world
There is something about Heilung that makes me feel better. Coming from someone who has suffered depression for years now. Every time I've felt really low, their music helps bring me back. Amazing :-)
Makes sense the group's name means healing in German. I listen to this and their other songs on my drives home when I've had a stressful day. It really helps.
Really makes me wonder how history and society nowadays would be different if the Romans never thought it necessary to conquer everything they saw and spread Christianity.
wouldn't be that different, since Christianity didn't come from the Roman conquerers alone. And if the Romans hadn't planned world domination, someone else would've done it and brought the religion with them.
@@kheidal Fair enough, but at least in the case of the latter things would have changed. I'm just more curious about how much of proto-germanic/celtic/gaulic culture would have been preserved had these things not happened.
Funny you mention the Romans: one of their songs, "Schlammschlacht", is the story of the greatest military defeat in the history of the Roman Empire at the hands of proto-germanic tribes. The Battle of Teutoburg Forest, year 9 CE: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Teutoburg_Forest It's more like a spoken poem than a song but it has enormous emotional impact, especially at the end, even without an understanding of the language.
@@icky46111 og alot more would have been perserved for sure, some holidays might have been a little different, and some forgotten ones might be still alive. I think the Main difference would be that more people today had a lot more knowledge about the old ways om general
I am generally a peaceful being. I wish humanity would learn to live together with no greed, no power struggles no hatred. In perfect harmony. However I have learned that life feeds on life to survive. Even at the microscopic level this rule applies to all. Humanity included. Just like you see in these comments, or on the internet in general. Some people, know matter their beliefs or wtv, are not meant to understand, or get along with the rest of us. They are probably unwillingly and unknowingly born to be a negative force on this earth. There cannot be light with darkness. There cannot be love without hatred, life without death etc etc. At first this realization is torturous. But once you learn to let it go, and just sit back and watch the chaos...you start achieving inner peace. And you start to accept that even those you dislike and see as a negative force on this planet are still one and the same as yourself. That we are all connected. Whether you like it or not, our species is magically able to do what every other living thing in this planet can't. And for as far as we can see into the universe, we are the most unique bit of physical life out there (so far lmao) Yet we are still such an insignificant little spec if dust in the never ending cosmos. That fact alone makes us all connected. You dont have to love everyone. Just learn to sit back and watch the chaos. Appreciate your existence.
There is such wisdom in your thought processes.....you should write an article about it!! I'd love for you to expand on it!! Thank you for sharing! I have been enlightened!!
@Mister Myxlplyx you are a perfect example of the negative in this world. Such a needless comment, and yet such a perfect example of the shit in society that the rest must bare with.
Now I finally understand why I liked to travel alone wondering in the woods at my childhood... true spirit of nature. It allways surround me some mystic ways and makes me calm.
When the encore is a possible blood sacrifice, involving a member of the audience. Better motivator then security for those present to behave themselves.
The entire experience is next level powerful and Maria's vocals from 7:44 are like another dimension altogether. Those who saw this live were truly blessed. Thanks so much for sharing this powerful musical experience.
The similarities of primitive tribal music from different cultures are very interesting. Celtic music and Native American music has a lot of similarities. Tibetan and Nordic seem to also but then again I've never really listened to much Tibetan music. I'm thinking it's because they are all human with voices and hands creating music out of the surroundings.
Great comment, because many think of it more forced in a narrow way: "Oh no, this is Native American / Oh no, this is throat singing from xy". - We almost know nothing about the music of ancient Celtic and especially in the case of this video Germanic cultures, except a few artifacts like lures, lyras,horns etc. and the small amount written by Roman authors (e. g. barditus). It's almost universal to all ancient human societies, more connected to nature, to produce simple but strong rhythms. Especially in the mythological context of Wôdanaz (Wôdan, Wôden, Óðinn), the god of wisdom, of the spirit, of extasy. Music was a way to express the soul. Sure, rationally we're taught to think this is stupid hocuspocus nowadays, but priests and priestesses (haljarûna, hagatusja - hags, witches etc.) were the ones "living between the worlds", when they chanted until they fell into "trance".
You tend to find very close similarities between tribal cultures, generally divided up where countries fall on the Equator. North America(North of U.S.A, Canada, and Alaska), Northern Europe, and Russia all fall in the same area of the Equator so the similar environments, plant life, animals, and seasons ultimately influence the mythology and culture of the native tribes in a similar way. South America, Central Africa, and Oceania fall in similar equatorial areas, so the environment similarly influences the cultural expression of the tribes. As a little example, go on to google images and search for native tribes of the places I just listed, the similarities in terms of visual-cultural expression are extremely similar depending on the equatorial area.
Folk musics always seem to favor a downbeat (instead of an upbeat like modern pop music) and something like a minor pentatonic scale, which is why it isn't as "happy" sounding when compared to modern music. It doesn't really seem to matter what kind of folk music it is. I think it's because primitive man had to use what was natural to their environment to make instruments (bones, hides, woods) and that same natural environment would have influenced the kinds of sounds they would mimic.
Native Americans at least east cost and northwest one share a lot of the same dna as Europeans. It may be they even descend from Europe since European bones have been found in America from ice age times.
@@Norilius They're the older generation of Vikings. Edit: As in, 600+ years, before the Norwegian Iron Age. They were a tribal people who share an Ethnic, Religious, and cultural heritage that bled into modern Scandinavian, German, English, and lower Scottish.
A friend recommended this song to me, I never thought that a simple song can put you in a trance so fast, this song gives me enormous warmth from inside and I don't understand why, and I can't stop listening to this song, I think this song is addictive ,is curious i think.
You realize that Heilung means healing or cure right? And most of the poems/songs are not about being violent. One song literally talks from group (A)'s prospective of wanting peace and group (B) only knowing violence.
our ancestors gave piece of themselves to create us. I can feel them in tears as we forget them, crying in anguish for us to remember, when we do remember them I can feel them putting their hands on my shoulders content.
So here I was watching the game awards, all hyped up for the new games being anounced and stuff and phil spencer anounces the new xbox and a new game made by ninja theory... and then senua shows up on screen and then THIS starts playing and senua singing the words... i couldnt care less about everything shown after this games trailer! i kept saying WTF just happened??? easily one of my favourite games is getting a sequel and theyre using Heilung for the soundtrack???? ive played heilung and lifa over and over and over again in my car for the past year! cant get enough of this! WOW!
Be proud of your roots, in the end we came all from the same. I'm a Native German and I'm proud, we have all a powerfull past, we just have to remember Liebe, Hoffnung, Dankbarkeit
I had the opportunity to go to Scandinavian countries and all my trip I listened to Heilung, this song specially during my navigation through the Gudvangen Fjord I had my headphones & this master piece, it was like to be connected to the nature and ancient days, magically lived this song ❤
No matter how many times I listen to this, I'm always caught off guard by how visceral and raw it is. The crowd cheering definitely adds to the atmosphere of the song, and Maria Franz's heavenly voice sounds so much better live. The studio recording is great, don't get me wrong, but this performance definitely amplifies the song to the next level. It's absolutely incredible.
Old Norse. It's the Futhark recited. The older Futhark of the Norse alphabet (24 runes), not the older Germanic versions. Old Norse is also know as Old Scandinavian. It's the language of the Scandinavians of old, up until the different languages of the Nordic countries developed from it. The modern language of today that sounds closest would be Icelandic. They're closer to their linguistic roots than the rest of Scandinavian languages.
Interestingly, this music is Proto-Norse, not ancient Norse, Vikings never had music like this, so in terms of Native Americans encountering this, it's completely alien. EDIT: Proto-Norse-inspired I should probably say.
There's a rhythm to this that's very reminiscent of various songs from both Sioux and Cherokee and possibly some Algonquin? So it shouldn't be THAT alien. There's a familiarity to it, but also a strangeness.
Scandinavian and German Pre-Christian culture is very, very similar. I love those old pagan songs so much! I am originally from east asia and a lot, especially music and their beat reminds me also of mongolian folklore. Absolutely stunning!
Pre-Christian Scandinavians and Germans were just different tribes from the same people. They had the same culture, language and religion. That's why they are so similar.💪
@@EpicMania18 Well yes, because Germanic and Celtic people have the same ancestry. But as Germanics, Scandinavians and Germans are more similar in culture, while the Celtic people developed an own culture independently.
@@simonpantermuller6997 I still find it interesting that you can still see the shared traits in all of them. I guess it also makes sense due to the Nordic influences as per the vikings.

Normally I hate live recordings because I feel the cheering is always interrupting the music. But here? It feels so organic like they're singing it at a bonfire and there's a massive crowd dancing all around hooting and hollering. This sounds, by far, MUCH better than the studio recording. This one emanates raw, unconstrained power. And I love it.
Even excluding every possible crowd noise - the live recordings themselves sound a lot better than their studio output.
I was worried this being live would butcher the atmosphere, but honestly, I can absolutely see myself putting this in the background for D&D
I bet that's what they were aiming for in their music. They're trying to show history with their music, and you didn't have fancy recording studios and computer editing 2000 years ago in the forests of Gaul or Germania. You had your tribe and the shaman. And the occasional human sacrifice.
I feel as though this music was meant to be played live. I get goosebumps every time!
Don't know if that's your kind of music but.. you gotta try the live performances of Blind Guardian. Especially "The Bards Song" and "Valhalla"
The song's title can be found in the Mesogothic Anglo-Saxon glossary as "In-Maidjan", which means "deceptively change" or "corrupt". This makes sense since the entire story within the album consists of a peaceful village that is corrupted by having to go to war. Therefore, Proto-Germanic seems to be the language.
Harigasti Teiwa Harigasti Teiwa "is a clear Germanic reference to the Negau helmet. This helmet contains several Etruscan alphabet inscriptions that include the words" Harigasti teiwa which are the first words of the song. This could be translated as Harigast (the priest) although it could also mean, the priest of Teiwaz (Tyr). "Harigast" is often (not always) seen as a personal name and that it could be made up of the words "harjaz" (army, troop, warband, war) and gastiz (stranger, guest). The forms "Hari" and "gast" is particularly found in west-germanic. As such the name could mean "war guest" or "foreign army".
Tawol Athodu - I accept the invitation.
Ek Erilaz - I am a runemaster. The word has been interpreted to mean magician or runemaster. The word is an ablaut variant of count and it is believed that it could be linguistically related to the name of the tribe of the Heruli or Herulos. The Heruli were a Germanic tribe from Scandinavia that was invaded by the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. So it is probably simply an old military title of Germanic provenance.
Owlthuthewaz - owlthu (glorious) thewaz (servant). Means servant of the glorious
Niwaremariz - Priest of the god "Ullr" / famous, renowned. From the proto-Germanic term Wulþuz (glory) wolþu- is possibly a reference to a God, surely the God Ullr.
Saawilagar Hateka - My name is Sawilagaz.
Harja - Army - leader of the army; commander; Warrior
Wuotani Ruoperath Wuotani - Oh, Wodan! Ruoperath - famous and brilliant.
This could be interpreted as the following:
I, Priest Harigast.
Aaccept the invitation (to battle)
I am the Heruli.
I am a renowned priest of Ullr.
They call me Warrior.
Oh, Wodan the famous and brilliant!

Imagine being a Roman legionnaire. Sitting in your camp waiting for a battle the next day and you hear this in the distance but sung with a chorus of 100,000 voices. In the trees. In the dark. Far. Far from home. Dudes had balls.
Romans probably didn't mind too much, probably found a lot of comfort in being the massively superior fighting force, also there would probably not be 100,000, "barbarian" tribes generally had a hard time working together and generally avoided the legions in pitched battle in favor of quick strikes on vulnerable Roman cohorts or columns
Dave Darcy whew way to kill the mood haha
@@peachieos9477 ha, sorry, I got my masters in ancient history and kinda love to dig in whenever i get the opportunity, sometimes end up writing an accidental novel
No the Romans would have been absolutely terrified. The Germanic tribes were notorious for their cruelty and the terror they ensued in the legions. Imagine being a member of the legions in Teutoburg Forest, after the initial assault, the legion was split. Many ended up in the swampy areas of the forest and were hunted like prey by the Germanic tribes.
@@DGDarcy If you were a major in history then you'd know they would be terrified.
Can you imagine the amount of work that goes into memorizing an hours worth of an ancient language that you dont speak?
Not that difficult. I'm a Hindu who doesn't know Sanskrit.
The vast majority of Hindus don't understand Sanskrit.
@Castle Smith Yeah they do alot of rune chants i think so to the untrained mind these powerful sounds might sound made up
It's Elder Futhark, a lot of Norse Pagans know at least some of the language, and from 3:55 to 7:15, they're literally just singing the alphabet, so......
Victoria Kenny it sounds scary to the christians but its just the runic alphabet.
yes...I can imagine...been trying to learn Norse...."d o e s n o t c o m p u t e" I think it would be easier to learn German at this point and then try Norse...
Side Effects of Heilung include: spear making, beard growth in men, a feeling of power and a warrior spirit in women. If the urge to strip naked and howl at the moon lasts for more than 3 hours consult your local shaman.

Lyrics expanded or why I love this song.
1. *harigasti teiva*
This inscription was found on one of the so called Negau helmets, written in Etruscian alphabet (there are some conspicuous similarities to the runic alphabet!). Dated back ca. 350 BC - 200 BC, though the inscription is younger, still these may be in fact the earliest attested resp. oldest known words written in Germanic at all! Yet there is something odd about their appearance: As obvious as Harigasti matches the reconstructed Germanic compounds _Harja-gastiz_ , therefore read as the name of the helmets owner, it's hard to avoid the fact that such personal name never became widely used, no Gothic Harigasts, no Old Norse Hárgastr or Hergestr, no Old English Heregiest, only once at least there were few persons named Herigast in Old High/Low German.
Although Harigasti represents the first sound shift (Grimm's law) in a seemingly finished state, yet around 120 BC the names of the Cimbri and Teutones still appear in a reverse shape when romanized Chimbri and Theudones should be expected - therefore still provoking tempestuous debates today. The most logical opinion may be the Romans received both names via Celtic transmission. because solving their linguistic inconsistency by labeling them just as Celtic tribes (utterly ignoring what some Roman authors stated) doesn't simply work. Wandering southward they raided other Germanic and Celtic tribes as they also confederated with Celtic tribes, e.g. their leader's name _Boiorix_ (Celt. _Boio-rîkos, Boio-rîx_ > Germ. _Boio-rîkaz_ ) obviously traces back to the Boii they met in nowadays Bohemia (lat. _Boiohaemum_ = actually a loanword brought to Romans by Germanic tongue, meaning homeland of the Celtic Boii, a compound of Celtic _Boio-_ > Germ. _*Baia-haima_ ). And the Cimbric name _Gaesorix_ appears latinized for Celt. _Gaiso-rîkos, Gaiso-rîx_ which in turn might have been a celtisized form of Germ. _Gaiza-rîkaz_ (Goth. _Gaisarîks_ = Geiseric)
Nevertheless, ancient scholars considered them both Teutones and Cimbri to be Germanic, aside the fact, that some labeled the Jutlandic peninsula (Jylland) as „chersonesus cimbrica“ resp. Greek „kimbrikè chersónesos“ = „Cimbrian peninsula“. I know, far off topic: it's overall important for this matter to mention both Danish regions Himmersyssel (older: _Himbersysæl_ ) and Thyland (older: _Thythæsysæl_ ), whether some Celto-philes like it or not. Tracing back to Proto-Germanic stems _himbra-_ and _þeudana-_

6. *harja*
Vimose comb 120 CE, probably the oldest known inscription in Elder Futhark. As in Harigasti,the element was commonly used adressing a warrior. Especially the large data we have from personal names. In the first century a Batavian named _Chariovalda_ , he bore one of the most common Germanic names: Hariwald, Harald, Heralt, Herold, Harold etc.
7. *fehu ûruz þurisaz ansuz raido kênaz…*
The reconstructed names of the runes in their supposed Proto-Germanic shape based on early manuscripts written around the 8th and 9thcentury containig runic alphabets, also found on the Frankish-German continent, many of them trace back to an Anglo-Saxon origin, like the Isruna-Manuscript (9th century, St. Gallen, Cod. Sangg. 270) influenced by Old High German, another list of Anglo-Saxon runes was found in the Alcuin-MS. (8th / 9th century, Vienna, Cod. Vind. 795), followed by the one time only attested names of the Gothic letters on the back of the same folio. Also the Hrabanic-Runes (the monk Hrabanus Maurus, his OHG name Hraban literaly means Raven) or so called Marcomannic Runes, which are still a mystery, partially influenced by Anglo-Saxon runes, they may be in fact remnants of the otherwise unknown continental Germanic tradition (Suebic>Alemannic/Frankish) of the pre-Christian era. Examples of just a few mythological names we will clearly recognize:
ansuz
- aza (Goth. ans / anza > âza?) Alcuin Gothic / _anseis_ plural in Jordani Getica
- os (O.E. ôs) Alcuin A-S / Isruna _oos_ / plural dative _êsa_ in the Lacnunga: Wið færstice
- ans (OHG. ans) cf. names Ansberaht, Ansgêr, Anshelm, Ansolf etc.
- as (Proto-Norse *ans- > O.N. áss) s. Edda
Tîwaz
- tyz (goth. *Teiws [*Tîws] > *Tius) Alcuin Gothic
- ti (O.E. Tîw) Alcuin A-S / Isruna / cf. tîwesdæg = tuesday
- ziu (OHG. Zîw > Ziu) Hraban Marcomannic Runes / cf. *zîwestac > zîestac = Zeistag
- tyr (Proto-Norse *TiwaR > *TiuR > O.N. Týr) s. Edda / plural _tívar_ = gods / týsdagr > tisdag
Ingwaz (cf. Ingvaeones)
- enguz (Goth. *Iggws read *Ingws > *Ingus)
- ing (O.E. Ing) s. _frea ingwina_ in Beowulf (Ingwina-Frea)
- ing (O.N. Yngvi, Ing-) s- Ingvy-Freyr
- ing, inc (OHG. Ing) cf. names Ingberaht, Inghild, Ingmâr, Ingolf
8.**wuotani ruoperath* (th ht)
I've never heard of these words, first I thought the only reference to connect both components at least might have been commented in Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie (Teutonic Mythology), even there no signs are given.
We know, there is a mythological figure named Ruprecht in Germany (in Tyrol/Austria also kown as Krampus). Old High German _„Hruodberaht / Hruodbperaht > Ruodberht, Ruodbreht“_ (Rubrecht, Ruprecht / Rubert, Rupert, Robert … OE _Hrôþbeorht_ > Robert) both elements of _Ruprecht_ O.H.G „(h)ruod“ + „beraht“ mean the „famous+bright“ one (bright=shining, glory) and are often considered to be attributes, based on a pre-Christian figure, likely _Wuotan_ himself, s. The Wild Hunt in the Alemannic terms Wüetisheer/Wuetesheer (O.H.G _Wuotanes heri_ > NHG _Wutens Heer_ ) an army of dead/ghosts lead by Wuotan (Wodan) during the nights after Christmas, with a link to the so called _Perchtenläufe_ in Bavarian/Alpine regions. Also a faint look at the hypothetical Bavarian goddess „Perchta“ next to the term Rauhnächte for the Twelfth Night (OHG _rûh-nahti_ = etym. _rough nights_ ), _Rûh-perchta_ obviously implies „ _Ruodperht_ “ = „Ruprecht“ . Certainly it shouldn't be attached to much importance on it, even if there were connections, but one cannot deny it is incredible eye-catching (!!!) - So, whether these words „Wuotani ruoperaht“ do exist or not, it's most likely to read in a vocative case „Oh, Wuotan (the) famous and bright one“, but wuotan-i could also suggest a dativ case "(to) Wuotan, the famous and bright one ", depending on the virtue of the piece of metal or stone this inscription was written.
About the spelling of Wodan, Wotan, Wuotan etc. in short:
_Wuotan_ is the actual standardized and seldom attested Old High German form next to the earlier _Wôdan_ (the oldest known evidence of the name, the runic inscription of the Nordendorf fibula _„wodan“_ in the 6th century, Paulus Diaconus Historia Langobardorum _„uuotan, uuodan_ ). Even _uuodan_ in the Merseburger Charms has to be read as uuuodan (Wuodan) actually, Germanic ô appears completely diphthongized throughout both charms! Cf. place names as found in the Breviarium St. Lulli _wuodensberg / wuodaneshusun / wuoteneshusun_ .
Compare the unattested Old Low Franconian (Old Dutch) „Wuodan“ (hence _Woeden_ in _Woensdag_ )
In the late Middle Ages the so called Nachtsegen mentions a _wutan_ and _wutanes her_ , a rather mysterious piece written in a form of dialect older than the mansucript itself, the supposed Middle German dialect is indicated by the reducing of O.H.G and M.H.G „uo“ to the monophthong u, as it then became a main feature of the standardized spelling of New High German ( _wuotan_ > _Wuten_ cf. guot > gut) unlike Upper German dialects, where we still speak the diphthong ( _Wueten_ - see Alemannic: _Wuete_ < _Wuetesheer, Wüetisheer_ , in my own dialect it would be _Wuata_ ).Though as it seems common sense, the modern usage of „Wotan“ has to be nothing more than a created spelling by Wagner, one may not forget the Langobardic „wotan“.
Woah, slow down there professor! Let me get some popcorn first.
Where'd you learn all this anyway?
every time I set this video on to listen I read this post again and learn something new from it- thank you so much for posting the background on the lyrics!
Kinda wish that @Heilung would pin it actually so it doesn't get buried and people can use it as a reference for their further research. Also- just have to say I absolutely use the runic invocation to help me learn and remember the furthark and while it's been said many a time before- it is *the* best ABC song ever.
Scandinavian linguistics major / phd?
@Antipersonenmine
Neither of them. At the age of 14 (2001) when I fell in love with the ancient Germanic history, I did a rather amateurish presentation for my school class, a sketchy outline about the history of German and its dialectal variety. Since then, almost every day, I think and work about the question, how the German (Alemannic-Swabian) spoken in my hometown might have sounded, especially during the Old High German period and further back in time, yet, to be honest and moreover realistic, it's even not quite sure, what the vernacular just around 1500 exactly sounded. My comment had no other purpous, than to show the meaning of the words in a lose/vage common Germanic context, although, often, I start to get nitpicking, when I read names as Donar and Odin placed next to each other or vice versa Thor and Woden. Of course, there was never such a thing, as a common cultural spirit in the mind of Germanic tribes, otherwise we wouldn't have to read about "hundreds" of different tribal names fighting and confederating with each other throughout the centuries. On the one hand, it may be assumed, the actual Viking culture represented a more or less untouched Germanic culture in the 8th century, whereas the Anglo-Saxon and Frankish-German areas were heavily influenced by the Romano-Celtic world centuries ago until the christianization had the final impact. On the other hand though, at some early point around the Great Migration and before, the Norse culture already diverged from the south, the cultural sphere on the Scandinavian peninsula experienced a different fate, it could be argued, that the North Germanic (Scandinavian) branch was cut off the continent, thus, the Jutes and former tribes of the Jutlandic peninsula originally were Ingvaeonic (West Germanic) until the Dani (Danes) came from modern Sjælland. The major problem is, the linguistic evidence on this topic isn't clear enough, in our recent decades the predecessor of Old Norse, Proto-Norse got almost synonymous with the model of the so called Northwest Germanic branch, grouping the North and the West Germanic languages by shared features (s/z > r rhotacism / lowering of Germanic ê to â : *swêƀa- > *swâƀa-) in opposition to the East Germanic branch (represented by Gothic and very little traces of Vandalic and Burgundian) which didn't underwent those changes, yet, it is not quite sure, if Gothic and Vandalic were completely unproductive about umlauts, after the Gothic bible translation by Wulfila, during the following centuries attested names as well as the mentioned Gothic alphabet by Alcuin show yet small but exisiting hints. Well, I lose myself again ;-) - I just wanted to be clear on the linguistic level, nevertheless, my methods are amateurish, actually, a lot of details and connections I had to withdraw. Far too often, the Germanic and Norse cultures are mingled without the actual context of time. Sure, I like to recreate mythological names attested in the Edda in their supposed West Germanic resp. German form, but that's just fun, because we don't know, if a Suebi around the first century BC believed in the nine worlds. Although, the belief in the idea of a divine triad was stated by Tacitus.
Mannus (*Mannuz/*Mannaz) father of men/humans (cf. in Hinduism Manu), son of the earth-born
Tuisco/Tuisto (the remaining copies of Taciti Germania show both variants, the proximity of both graphs t and c in older manuscripts makes it impossible to say, which reading should be regarded as the original. Tuisco/Tuisto, the hermaphroditic entity (1. from *Tîwisko sing. neut. the "divine being" relating to Tîwaz name | 2. to the root twist- or twisk-, cf. Engl. twist, (be)tween, betwain resp. O.E. *tweosc > (be)tweox, compare Germ. "zwischen", speaking for its dualistic nature). The three sons of Mannus are seen in the names of Istvaeones/Iscvaeones, Ingvaeones and Erminones.
*Ermanaz / *Erminaz = The Great One
*Ingwaz, the actual meaning remains unsure, some speculate an ablaut (gradation) to the *ang- stem (Angli, Angri)
*Istwaz? / *Iskwaz?, a name that didn't survive, thus, no logical interpretation can be given.
If we might neglect other unnamed sons of Mannus, the three main examples could be regarded synonymous
with the mythological triad as in the Norse mythology, even their alliterating nature (Ing-, Ist/Isk-, Erm-/Irm-) is echoing 1000 years later through Óðinn (Wôđinaz), Vili (Wiljo), Vé (Wîha[n]), a rather particular fact that has to be pointed out.
To Corrupt

Odin, prepare for battle!
The title itself can be found in Mœso-Gothic Glossary from Anglo-Saxon as "In-Maidjan" which means "to change deceitfully" or "to corrupt". This makes sense since the entire story within Heilung's album consists of a peaceful village being corrupted by having to go to war. Therefore, Proto-Germanic seems to be the language this is from.
"Harigasti Teiwa" is a Germanic reference to the Negau Helmet that contains various inscriptions including the words "harigasti teiwa(z)" which means "Harigast the priest". Though it could also mean "war god" since "hari" can be translated to war/warbringer, "gasti" as guest/person, and "teiwa(z)" as "god". Teiwa(z) (spelled as Tiwaz) is also the proto-Germanic name for the Norse God, Týr. For the sake of the song's theme, I went with "Come, guest Tyr" as this line was about invoking a God for war.
Part of "Ek Erilaz Owlthuthewaz Niwaremariz Saawilagar Hateka Harja" can be found in the Lindholm Amulet where the line "ekerilazsa[w]ilagazhateka" or "Ek erilaz Sawilagaz haite'ka" is carved. Based on what wikipedia says about this: "This translates to "I am (an) erilaz (a rune master), I am called the wily" (or "I am called Sawilagaz). If the word in first line is translated as a name, Sawilagaz means "the one of the Sun (Sowilo)." If the word is translated as "the wily" or "crafty one" or "deceitful one," then it may be related to a byname of Odin or another god." We can use this to help translate. "Harja" from Anglo-Saxon means "army".
"Ha Hu Hi He Ho He Hi Ha Hu" means nothing other than a chanting.
The next bit are just names for Old Norse runes from the elder futhark, also known as the rune chant. They hold no particular meaning together in a sentence and instead are just supposed to be individual names. I did translate the runes in the chant based off their meanings but, again, did not put them into a sentence considering that that would be like trying to say the alphabet as a sentence. Note: certain runes (such as Ingwaz (Ing) and Perthro) can have slightly different translations based on the source.
"Wuotani Ruoperath" seems to mean "Odin, prepare for battle" in Old High German.
"Au Is Urki" (actually Alu Is Urki) can be heard in the last line of their last song "Hamrer Hippyer" where it means "May it be of help" or "may it heal/stop them" in Old Norse. Though i wasn't able to find anything on the other lines in the last bit, so I only translated Alu Is Urki.
NO SOUP Bless you
Colourful. Thank you.
It's always so exciting to see ppl use that "w" sound, not just Odin, cuz on my homelands ppl actually used V due to pronouncing differences and the name was pronounced as Vodin and literally meant a man who leads people, we still have the name Vadim which was flexed from it, sad thing is that ppl are just too lost to remember that

I've always preferred this sort of singing to the operatic vibrato and wide vowels.
That vocal solo of Maria Franz is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I’ve ever heard in music, across all songs and genres. The instrumentals backing her are an absolute perfect fit. That whole part of the song just puts me into a trance every time.
Now you know where the various legends of sirens come from.
Some of the things she does with her voice are like what kids do when they are just mumbling to themselves. Its like they are normal human sounds but language and social norms discourage them.

Everyone’s talking about Maria’s incredible solo in the later part of the song and her chanting with the other singers (both instances are incredible) but what really shook me was her banshee howl at 2:37. Seriously that sounded like a demon had come to reap my soul when I first heard it.
I'd say an angel
@@vincentfinn292 A realistic angel that is 😄
And the spirits answering her banshee cry. Chills.
I'm trying to imagine a world where a band like Heilung is invited onto the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in the 60's, and the ensuing freakout from the general American population who would undoubtedly see this music as "Satanic"; and I can't help but marvel at how much musical tastes have changed over a few short decades.
For people who say that there's no good music being made anymore, my response to you is that you're not looking hard enough.
100% this. They're never looking hard enough. But my God that's a glorious mental image both imagining Johnny Carson's intro and then reaction to these guys, and imagining all the "perfect" little families in their little suburban homes hearing this. Children crying, women screaming and fainting, men smashing their beer in indignation, grandma's clutching their bibles, but as they keep chanting and beating those drums, Johnny Carson and some of the viewers start ripping off their shirts and stomping around their living rooms while their children run in terror. Sorry I got a little carried away there lol
It's the cycle of culture-counterculture. I mean, you have actual satanic music published nowadays and nobody bats an eye. The soccer mums and their ilk have been the laughing stock of pop culture for decades.
And it'll probably change again by 2050. Maybe we'll go evangelical once more. Maybe something completely different.

In our current timeline, its politically incorrect for whyte Europeans to acknowledge their own history or claim anything is exclusively theirs. Our ancestors' ancient symbols were banned after WWII, our statues and monuments desecrated, and we can't even celebrate the accomplishments of our forefathers without giving credit to the third world, as if they played a role in creating western civilization. Reject the globalists' propaganda and their prescription for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's okay to love your people, to feel a connection. This is love speech, not hate speech lol.

maria's part in this is probably the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my entire life. i've listened to this so many times and every time it feels like the first time hearing it. i have to literally stop whatever it is i'm doing and just let it go through me
I still get chills every single time I hear her sing this!!!❤❤❤
Her voice is less a voice, than an actual force of nature. You almost don't have a choice but to let it pass through you. It's that powerful
The reason why everyone was so quiet was because we all were in a trance. I talked to people the next day and they all said it was the craziest thing I have ever experienced yet the best thing ever😍
I can feel how they felt then, although I wasn't there. I wish I knew them before
Thank you. Wish I could be there.
They were quiet because they do not want to ruin anyone's experience with the music
Jesus loves you

All of the words they sing in this song have amazing stories behind them, but I'm writing this comment to share the story of the rune Sowilō which can be heard in the middle of the chant. You the reader probably already know what this word means on an intuitive level, but just to make sure, it's Sun, or Saule if you're latvian, or солнце if you're russian, or sol if you're portuguese or słońce if you're a polack, etc. Every slavic person, every anglo-saxon or germanic person, most Europeans like French, Spanish, Greek, whatever for this matter will see their word for "sun" in Sowilō if they try hard enough. It's an ancient word indeed. But it is young compared to the original. Before Sowilo was born, there was only one sun for all of our ancestors, and it was called Sóhwl̥ in the common tongue of the Indo-European nomads. Take a break from whatever you are doing right now and spare a thought or two on this matter. Try to remember that we all are brothers and sisters under one sun. Just like our words, our traditions, our gods, our morals, our ways of life evolved from a single common seed. Carve its image into your mind and your heart, live by its calling. Reflect on it next time you deal with your brother or sister and treat them as such. It is never too late. You have the power to change yourself and the world around you for the better!
Very true Artyom. It makes me think how family and relationships meant more to our ancestors than it does to us now. Perhaps we have forgotten something throughout our centuries under the same sun.
Very assertive comment indeed!
I didn’t even connect the different entomologies and their Indo-European origin! I really wish that civilization wasn’t essentially erased from history.
Indians too
Under the same sun and the same moon, since first men walked.

@@MimosaPapi Estevan, the language since it wasn't mentioned seems to be Proto-Germanic to me. None of the names of Týr are spelled like Tiewa in any language after Proto-Germanic. Týr (Old Norse), Tíw (Old English), and Ziu (Old High German) and all of those stem from the Proto-Germanic deity Tîwaz, also spelled Teiwaz.

Am glad the studio decided to use a lesser known band. Fits the game perfectly and acts as advertisement that works

I seriously am blown away by Maria's singing. When she's singing and holding those notes with the drums in the background my entire body gets goosebumps the hairs on my arms stand up my eyes get very watery and my breathing gets heavier. Not exaggerating I mean this literally. I see myself running in a field much like a wheat field on a sunny day gentle breeze blowing, everything seems in slow motion. I seriously feel different when I listen to them. As I've stated in others videos of this same concert. I feel so comfortable so relaxed. I feel a sense of familiarity something seems familiar and I can't explain it. I feel as if I'm remebering myself of a different life. I love this group. Maria has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard and is my favorite female singer. The male singers throat singing are very talented and as a whole they sing so well together
Man the power of music.
Yishun Siva it’s really powerful
I had the exact same response. Well dayum
I know that band from years...and listened to this song for first time in a long time... the same reaction as yours. Something familiar....home...tears coming down, heavy breathing, sadness, power, just a blast of emotions...all kinds
Your heart gets in sync with the drums and your inner self vibrate to her voice :)
I worked at a used bookstore, and one of our regulars is a guy about 65 or so who is a music fanatic. Any style, any era, he will listen to it. He has stories of meeting every band you've ever heard of from the 60s and 70s when they passed though Cleveland. My wife and I love trying new music, and he came in one day and handed her a piece of paper with "Heilung: LIFA" on it. She said she would listen to it later on lunch break. He quickly held up his hand.
"No." You have to watch the video of the whole live performance. Trust me."
Of course, we did. When she went home she brought up the video of the performance, figuring she could try it for a few minutes as the performance began, then she would have dinner.
She said she suddenly noticed that the performance was ending, it had been an hour, and she had not thought of food or anything else. The music had CONSUMED her.
ok I have to express utter admiration as a classically trained musician here:
When they're singing the main verse (aka the Elder Futhark rune names) they're singing it in 7/4
DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PLAY/SING ANYTHING IN 7/4?????
these guys REALLY know their stuff!!!!
Try singing it yourself, it is a good breath exercise :)
in every really lifting and communicating harmony and rythm, i've always noticed that they used an odd number as a base.
pair numbers are boring in music.
I feel you. People who sing in musicals throw time signatures around like its nothing, absolute nightmare of concentration
what? it's in 4/4

Feeling the same way for the past few months. Incredibly depressed, been keeping myself locked up in room, and when Im outside, I stay away from everyone and keep headphones on. Been feeling really numb. This music has been helping a bit though.

This is the most gorgeously apocalyptic piece of music that I have ever heard. 🙏
Me watching the “Hellblade 2” trailer: oh damn I felt that in my bones. Wait, a modern band made this?!? And the song is longer? And there’s more of this?!?
I’m Chinese-American btw and I suddenly feel the urge to make my ancestors proud on the field of battle. Does it make cultural sense, fuck no, but off to battle!!!
The style of singing was all over to place from Mongolia to Europe to the Americas. Regardless tho if you feel the calling in your bones go for it!!
Bear Cronus I could be wrong but didn’t they take the lyrics from a tablet in Scandinavia?
@@deep-fried-zombie699 to be honest I really have no idea. While I can say the people of the time didnt write much of anything down, we also lost alot of history in those times because of ot
For the newcomers: Heilungs concept is mostly based around artifacts (such as tablets) from the pagan/bronze/iron age found in middle and northern europe. They describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern europe". If you are into stuff like that i HIGHLY(!) reccomend Einar Selviks "Wardruna". He made the soundtrack to Vikings.

Listening to them always makes me feel like we've all strayed too far from where we are supposed to be as animals, and the what we've done to the world is unforgivable. That I'm not supposed to be sitting at my computer in a room on the third story of a concrete building, in an urban sprawl with no real wilderness for a hundred miles around me, and working at a job I hate day in and day out. It makes me feel like there has to be more to life than this

And i think if we could pass this cage we wouldnt feel like "there should be mor like this in life"
FUN THEORY TIME
Scandinavia has a disproportionate number of heavy/death metal bands because growling was always in their culture
Aditya Bhagwat you're probably not wrong. Arabic traders attested to the fact that the Germanic tribes had what they thought were absolutely terrible singing voices. They described them as scratchy and coming from deep within the throat so perhaps they were describing precisely how these male members of Heilung sing
The voice was probably the first instrument ever used, so its in all our cultures going far enough back...
Yes, we growled, and growled hard and strong, because we didn't want foreigners to take our homeland.
@Theta Dream You couldn't possibly be more incorrect about Heavy metal and Death metal origins. One google search would save you this awkward fate; Heavy metal had it's cultural origins in the UK, while Death metal became most known in the US during it's rise to fame.
Just because Scandinavia was fucking metal back in the day (like 900s), does not mean a genre started there.

There is something about Heilung that makes me feel better. Coming from someone who has suffered depression for years now. Every time I've felt really low, their music helps bring me back. Amazing :-)

Really makes me wonder how history and society nowadays would be different if the Romans never thought it necessary to conquer everything they saw and spread Christianity.
wouldn't be that different, since Christianity didn't come from the Roman conquerers alone. And if the Romans hadn't planned world domination, someone else would've done it and brought the religion with them.
@@kheidal Fair enough, but at least in the case of the latter things would have changed. I'm just more curious about how much of proto-germanic/celtic/gaulic culture would have been preserved had these things not happened.
Funny you mention the Romans: one of their songs, "Schlammschlacht", is the story of the greatest military defeat in the history of the Roman Empire at the hands of proto-germanic tribes.
The Battle of Teutoburg Forest, year 9 CE:

@@icky46111 og alot more would have been perserved for sure, some holidays might have been a little different, and some forgotten ones might be still alive. I think the Main difference would be that more people today had a lot more knowledge about the old ways om general

I am generally a peaceful being. I wish humanity would learn to live together with no greed, no power struggles no hatred. In perfect harmony.
However I have learned that life feeds on life to survive. Even at the microscopic level this rule applies to all. Humanity included.
Just like you see in these comments, or on the internet in general. Some people, know matter their beliefs or wtv, are not meant to understand, or get along with the rest of us. They are probably unwillingly and unknowingly born to be a negative force on this earth.
There cannot be light with darkness. There cannot be love without hatred, life without death etc etc.
At first this realization is torturous.
But once you learn to let it go, and just sit back and watch the chaos...you start achieving inner peace. And you start to accept that even those you dislike and see as a negative force on this planet are still one and the same as yourself. That we are all connected.
Whether you like it or not, our species is magically able to do what every other living thing in this planet can't. And for as far as we can see into the universe, we are the most unique bit of physical life out there (so far lmao)
Yet we are still such an insignificant little spec if dust in the never ending cosmos.
That fact alone makes us all connected.
You dont have to love everyone. Just learn to sit back and watch the chaos. Appreciate your existence.
Completely agree
Perfect set of words.
There is such wisdom in your thought processes.....you should write an article about it!! I'd love for you to expand on it!! Thank you for sharing! I have been enlightened!!

The soul holds memories of old lives. That explains the resonance with this culture.
The similarities of primitive tribal music from different cultures are very interesting. Celtic music and Native American music has a lot of similarities. Tibetan and Nordic seem to also but then again I've never really listened to much Tibetan music.
I'm thinking it's because they are all human with voices and hands creating music out of the surroundings.
Great comment, because many think of it more forced in a narrow way: "Oh no, this is Native American / Oh no, this is throat singing from xy". - We almost know nothing about the music of ancient Celtic and especially in the case of this video Germanic cultures, except a few artifacts like lures, lyras,horns etc. and the small amount written by Roman authors (e. g. barditus). It's almost universal to all ancient human societies, more connected to nature, to produce simple but strong rhythms. Especially in the mythological context of Wôdanaz (Wôdan, Wôden, Óðinn), the god of wisdom, of the spirit, of extasy. Music was a way to express the soul. Sure, rationally we're taught to think this is stupid hocuspocus nowadays, but priests and priestesses (haljarûna, hagatusja - hags, witches etc.) were the ones "living between the worlds", when they chanted until they fell into "trance".
You tend to find very close similarities between tribal cultures, generally divided up where countries fall on the Equator. North America(North of U.S.A, Canada, and Alaska), Northern Europe, and Russia all fall in the same area of the Equator so the similar environments, plant life, animals, and seasons ultimately influence the mythology and culture of the native tribes in a similar way. South America, Central Africa, and Oceania fall in similar equatorial areas, so the environment similarly influences the cultural expression of the tribes. As a little example, go on to google images and search for native tribes of the places I just listed, the similarities in terms of visual-cultural expression are extremely similar depending on the equatorial area.
maybe they are similiar because Leif Eriksson went to america and shared his chants with the natives(?)
Folk musics always seem to favor a downbeat (instead of an upbeat like modern pop music) and something like a minor pentatonic scale, which is why it isn't as "happy" sounding when compared to modern music. It doesn't really seem to matter what kind of folk music it is. I think it's because primitive man had to use what was natural to their environment to make instruments (bones, hides, woods) and that same natural environment would have influenced the kinds of sounds they would mimic.
Native Americans at least east cost and northwest one share a lot of the same dna as Europeans. It may be they even descend from Europe since European bones have been found in America from ice age times.

No matter how many times I listen to this, I'm always caught off guard by how visceral and raw it is. The crowd cheering definitely adds to the atmosphere of the song, and Maria Franz's heavenly voice sounds so much better live.
The studio recording is great, don't get me wrong, but this performance definitely amplifies the song to the next level. It's absolutely incredible.

What language is this?
Это футарк.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes
Old Norse. It's the Futhark recited. The older Futhark of the Norse alphabet (24 runes), not the older Germanic versions.
Old Norse is also know as Old Scandinavian. It's the language of the Scandinavians of old, up until the different languages of the Nordic countries developed from it.
The modern language of today that sounds closest would be Icelandic. They're closer to their linguistic roots than the rest of Scandinavian languages.
wait so they just sang the alphabet
Maria's voice is just ✨ heavenly ✨

Welcome to the tribe Hellblade fans.
i feel kinda at home now. greetings from Berlin, Germany xD
Just discovered them today, but goddamn have they made an awesome impression
Thank you, greetings from Brazil!
never played Hellblade...my DNA heard the music and I had to follow. I love bands like this and Dead Can Dance.
Thanks my brother, greetings from Perú
I honestly would be terrified to hear this coming from the darkened seas, and I'm native American. This shit is haunting.
You shouldn't be lol our ancestors drove the northmen off the continent haha
Interestingly, this music is Proto-Norse, not ancient Norse, Vikings never had music like this, so in terms of Native Americans encountering this, it's completely alien.
EDIT: Proto-Norse-inspired I should probably say.
There's a rhythm to this that's very reminiscent of various songs from both Sioux and Cherokee and possibly some Algonquin? So it shouldn't be THAT alien. There's a familiarity to it, but also a strangeness.
im from germany. i hear this while Sleeping 🤙
We've done throat singing, this is nothing
Scandinavian and German Pre-Christian culture is very, very similar. I love those old pagan songs so much! I am originally from east asia and a lot, especially music and their beat reminds me also of mongolian folklore.
Absolutely stunning!
Pre-Christian Scandinavians and Germans were just different tribes from the same people. They had the same culture, language and religion. That's why they are so similar.💪
Simon Pantermüller Well most Celtic, Germanic and Scandinavian groups spread from the same points.
@@EpicMania18 Well yes, because Germanic and Celtic people have the same ancestry. But as Germanics, Scandinavians and Germans are more similar in culture, while the Celtic people developed an own culture independently.
@@simonpantermuller6997 I still find it interesting that you can still see the shared traits in all of them. I guess it also makes sense due to the Nordic influences as per the vikings.
@@EpicMania18 That's true! It's fascinating how often our different cultures have influenced each other...
Maria's vocal range is amazing.......the theatrical aspect of this performance is stunning........
