Aloha from Hawaii. I'm 55 and a 21 yr retired disabled veteran. In Feb a few days after my birthday i had my first heart attack. I had nothing to do except lay there in a bed with needles and props stuck on me. I was browsing music reactions and this band came up. I watched their whole LIFA live show. Instantly I came to my senses of the warrior I am. I would love to see them live. It is such an inspiration. It's my culture of my blood line. I've been to many countries in their hills and villages and all have their different languages and rituals. I felt healed to listen and watch them. I'm not going to pass yet. It's not God's time for me yet. A heart attack is a rebirth.
Warriors like us don't die, they once go to Valhalla... hopefully picked up on the battle field by Valkyries and brought by them into Odin's holy hall ... where they then are sitting, drinking and feasting at Odin's table. Get well soon, comrade.
You absolutely nailed it. Heilung-Healing in German. I am SO glad you found them. They changed my life as all of my fears melt away when I listen to them. Same bloodlines here also I feel more connected to my ancestors. Music for the world to heal by. Have an awesome day.
The whole purpose of a well-constructed ritual is to induce a trance state. Heilung is a master of well-constructed rituals that do induce trance. It is a window to the soul and higher self. Wise stuff.
I was at this Redrocks show! It was nothing short of incredible. I've never seen that many people in such a trance before. I can't think of a more fitting band to perform at that venue to be honest. I should also add there was a big full moon, which added a lot. To your spiritual point, I saw some people who very obviously were having a very personal spiritual moment. I'm so glad I had the chance to attend.
Heilung is a band that takes your mind to a far away place and on a long journey of rebirth and starting a new life. This band is one of the best and most unique styles of music, The drums give me chills but in a good way, I always cheer to when she is set free from being tied up and a sacrifice for Odin.
This is one of my favorite reactions from that people whos first experience this masterpiece. This is the begining of a fantastic journey with them. I was exatly the same when I found them.
I am so excited to attend their Auckland New Zealand ritual in November. I know I am going to be seriously emotional , this video really hits some other part of my being.
Remember, that we all are brothers All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind We all descend from the one great being That was always there Before people lived and named it Before the first seed sprouted Welcome to the Merseburg Incantations!
Blessed be brother, the band is consists of members from Germany and other countries that are pre Christianity, they are Germanic Norse, the name comes from word in Germany: Heliung. Their deity in their songs they follow is Odin, maria to me is like freyja, singing: soothing, commanding, yet motherly.
Traust's lyrics are pulled from different incantations: one comes from the Merseburg charms (song of the Idisi - sung by Maria), one comes from Grógaldr (sung by Maria and interjected with a line by Kai and the other men), another comes Galdrabók. The song of the Idisi is a spell to free someone from their hardships, or literally, their binds or whatever is keeping them trapped in place:"Eiris sazun idisi, sazun hera duoderSuma hapt heptidun, suma heri lezidunSuma clubodun umbi cuoniouuidiInsprinc haptbandun, invar vigandun!" - "Once sat the Idisi, they sat here, then thereSome fastened bonds, some impeded an armySome unraveled fettersEscape the bonds, flee the enemy!" If you look at a live performance of Traust, this is highlighted by the binding of a young women by Kai and the release of her binds by Maria later on (see: ruclips.net/video/gNZX1TpGzoE/видео.html). I find it mesmerizing and I know it back to front. It's a great breathing exercise, to sing it, too. There is no pause in the singing, it's like an eb and flow that gently rolls over you. The Idisi are more or less supernatural female figures that can be called upon, to free or sabotage an enemy (army). If you look at some of the words, you can see that this old Germanic tongue shares a common ancestral root with English and my own native tongue. The next part is from Grógaldr which is a lot more intricate in how it connects to lore and stories from all parts of the Edda, but I too find it to be a healing or a cleansing spell: "Þann gel ek þér fyrstan,þann kveða fjölnýtan, þann gól Rindi Rani,at þú of öxl skjótir, því er þér atalt þykkir;sjalfr leið þú sjalfan þik. Þann gel ek þér annan, ef þú árna skaltviljalauss á vegum, Urðar lokurhaldi þér öllum megum, er þú á sinnum sér. Þann gel ek þér inn þriðja, ef þér þjóðáarfalla at fjörlotum, Horn ok Ruðrsnúisk til heljar meðan, en þverri æ fyr þér. Þann gel ek þér inn fjórða, ef þik fjándr standagörvir á galgvegi, hugr þeim hverfitil handa þér, ok snúisk þeim til sátta sefi. Þann gel ek þér inn fimmta, ef þér fjöturr verðrborinn at boglimum, leysigaldr læt ekþér fyr legg of kveðinn, ok stökkr þá láss af limum,en af fótum fjöturr." - "Then first I will chant thee | the charm oft-tried,That Rani taught to Rind;From the shoulder whate'er | mislikes thee shake,For helper thyself shalt thou have. Then next I will chant thee, | if needs thou must travel,And wander a purposeless way:The bolts of Urth | shall on every sideBe thy guards on the road thou goest. Then third I will chant thee, | if threatening streamsThe danger of death shall bring:Yet to Hel shall turn | both Horn and Ruth,And before thee the waters shall fail. Then fourth I will chant thee, | if come thy foesOn the gallows-way against thee:Into thine hands | shall their hearts be given,And peace shall the warriors wish. Then fifth I will chant thee, | if fetters perchanceShall bind thy bending limbs:O'er thy thighs do I chant | a loosening-charm,And the lock is burst from the limbs,And the fetters fall from the feet." Heilung interjects each stanza with a different bit of the Edda: "Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra" - "I wash off the hatred of my enemies and the theft and anger of rich men." The genius in the way Heilung composed these lyrics and implemented them in a musical style that entirely befits the old Germanic/Norse age, is that each stanza is a blessing issued by Maria, and the men affirm this blessing by saying - "I have received this blessing and I wash away the mortal sins of men". It is a typical way of how Pagan blessings or incantations work: they are issued by a Völva/healer/seer and the person receiving the blessing, participates in the spell. It is carefully constructed and put together, in a way that our ancestors lived in their time, to the point it becomes its own being. It's good to know that these three different parts of lore are invoked from a very large timespan, probably predating the viking age, far into the Icelandic staves and runes. Another interesting tidbit is that the Merseburg charms (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merseburg_charms) also return in Hamrer Hippyer, which denotes Odin's healing spell. The Futha album version is sublime. The live version is currently accompanied by even more, very talented (and beautiful) female vocals, which makes it all the more impressive. All the soot, the dirt, the pain, the filth is resonated off of your being. The massive drums wallop your gut as your eardrums vibrate at a holy frequency. Truly a healing experience
I like your commentary a great deal. Thanks for putting it out there... so it could be in here. (I'm pointing at my temple now). (-: ••• Carp! IDIOM!!!
I'd like to take a speaker out and play this drone to the cicadas. I bet they'd answer. There was a song on Alan Parsons' Pyramid album "Hyper Gamma Spaces" that would make the crickets go crazy when I'd play it in the garage and in the teepee I lived-in one summer. ••• PEACES!!!
I had Alan Parsons Project underrated for a long time. I grew up in the 70s-80s , but was only familiar with the radio hits. It took a deeper dive later in life to realize how much awesome stuff APP has produced over decades.
an interesting one they did was effectively a cover of the worlds oldest song the Hurrian Hymn No. 6 also known as the Hymn to Nikkal. they released their version with the name Nikkal
It is a ritual, not a band. Krigsgaldr will gibe you the same emotions. Also from Lifa (live performance). The Heilung journey just started... be prepared and get amazed.
its beautiful isnt it? if you ever get a chance you should experience this live. its even better. you feel the music through your entire body. i found it interesting that you said this will heal. cause the bands name is heilung (healing in german)

@@Amalung54 Thank you my friend. Things are moving as they should.

We live many lives in many places with many faces. Heilung is the gateway for the soul to remember those past times and lives. Be well and prosper!
I was at this show. It was incredible. Red rocks is a perfect venue, and it complimented heilung's natural sounds so well
I have never, ever experienced the likes of Heilung in all of my 50+ years of life on this earth...until most recently. ❤
The whole purpose of a well-constructed ritual is to induce a trance state. Heilung is a master of well-constructed rituals that do induce trance. It is a window to the soul and higher self. Wise stuff.
As a Christain I have my faith, that doesn't mean I can't love this band. They are amazing and they are primal, live they are as you said Hypnotic!!!

Wardruna is playing Red Rocks in a couple of weeks. I'd say they are in the same category of "Bands that are made to play at Red Rocks". LOL

Wow her voice so precious like the art as well mostly the drums In the background outstanding 👌🔥❤

Your words were as perfect as the song and the ritual. Skål.
Thank you very much.
You described animism in the last part. A lot of us in Scandinavia live by those principles. ❤
