I think I may have found my people.. Link to original video : • Heilung | LIFA - Krigs... Really like what I do and want to support? Buy me a coffee? ko-fi.com/park... (Tips never expected but emensly appreciated)
"Remember, that we all are brothers All people And beasts and trees And stone and wind We all descend from the one great being That was always there Before people lived and named it Before the first seed sprouted"
I worked as a volunteer at Castlefest and had the honor of seeing this experience live. And indeed it is not a concert but an experience. Keep in mind that this was their first live concert ever. Saw them again 2 months ago and they again were overwhelming, with sound, visuals and also fragrances. Absolute must see
The worship of the natural world is probably more honest than most organised religions.... it's spiritual, it doesn't control. This music is so primal, you can imagine the ancient peoples of northern europe. It's very beautiful.
Heilung (German)....Healing......Krigsgaldr ..... Spiritual War Chants.....This LIFA Live Show was their FIRST Live Show ever !!!!.....Band Members are from Germany/Denmark and Norway.....LONG before the Vikings !....Maria Franz plays HUMAN Bones !....Faust,the Lead Singer,is also one of the Worlds Best TRIBAL TATTOO Artists!
It's interesting that you said about spirituality. I think there's a video on their channel about how the band formed and for one of the members he was disillusioned by religion and trying to find his place in the world. I may be wrong but I think it's the fellow who does the throat singing style. Some other songs by them to check out; Traust, Hakkerskaldyr, Norupo, Svarand.
Maria Franz is an incredible singer. She's been in several different projects and they're all worth checking out. For Heilung - In Maidjan - Live version.
I understand the feeling you're getting from this, it's speaking to the ancestral dna in us, funny how the feeling is understandable but it really can't be put into words, it's touching something ancient in the body
A Krigsgaldr is a "War Chant" or "War Magic" The English bit with the throat singing by Kai (the Shaman) is the true "galdr" bit. In the past these segments would be sung / chanted with that throaty voice to immitate a raven. The lyrics to Maria's segment are: Min Warb Naseu Wilr Made Thaim I Bormotha Hauni Hu War Hu War Opkam Har a Hit Lot Got Nafiskr Orf Auim Suimade Foki Afa Galande Translation: The household wanes, Vil threw a death wave over those the oar locks wore out for, with the tired mast-top Who brought... Who brought the horde over to the far country? The godly-fish from Firnøy’s streams Swimming in the drift of the land of shining meadows. In the context of the Lifa concert - all the songs go together telling the story of a peaceful tribe that was tricked into going to war with another tribe. That is why she asks, "who brings the invading horde here?" The most important song to hear from this set is In Maidjan - which means "to change deceitfully" or "to corrupt". That song features an important chant that includes all the Futhark runes and is one of the best examples of Maria's singing. After that, listen to "Alfadhirhaiti" from the same set. After that, you will be ready to invade your neighborhood.
This concert, Lifa, at Castlefest was their performance debut. Beyond epic. If you get a chance to attend a Heilung ritual, do not hesitate. It stays with you forever. 😎
If your a fan of Maria Franz's (the female singer) vocals you NEED to hear In Maidjan from the same concert. She has a mich bigger part in that song, she sounds increadible in it.
Excellent reaction! Other great music to check out, Wardruna, Skald, Hindarfjall, Folket Bortafor Nordavinden, Amon Amarth. Norse beliefs aren't a religion, it's a way of life that is greatly expressed through music, Welcome to the beginning of a wonderful journey.Also Heilung IN MAiJAN
In Maidjan or Othan from the LIFA live at Castlefest concerts if you really want to hear the live vocal qualities of Maria. Alfadhirhaiti Hamrer hippyer Both from LIFA. Heilung is Bronze an Iron Age metal. Those were real human forearm bones she used.
Hi, I didn't know this song and this group yet. That's very unusual - but very interesting. The song lives from the rhythm and the great voices. Visually, too, this is a successful performance. I can recommend you the following similar unusual songs: - Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live) -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FnkTuHP9q3o.html "Helvegen" is about death, dying and remembering those who have passed. About crossing over and about letting go. It is a song about searching for lost songs and old traditions. Lyrics from the video explanation: The Way to Hel I sought the songs I sent the songs when the deepest well offered drops so mighty of Valfather’s pledge I know it all, Odin where you hid your eye Who will sing me in the death-sleep sling me when I walk the road to Hel and the tracks I tread are cold, so cold Early or in fading day still the raven knows if I fall When you stand by the gate of Hel and when you must tear loose follow you I shall across the bridge of Gjöll with my song You become free from the bonds that bind you You are free from the bonds that bound you ----------------------------------------------------- - FAUN - Walpurgisnacht (Official Video) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nLgM1QJ3S_I.html Walpurgis Night is the night from April 30th to May 1st. I would like to explain a few things about it. So it's going to be a little longer - but I hope it helps with understanding. Not only Walpurgis Night is celebrated today. The modern form is the "dance into May". May 1st is a public holiday in Germany - the "Labor Day". "The roots of the Walpurgis celebration go back to pre-Christian times and Germanic origins. On this day, these "natives" of the Harz Mountains celebrated a spring festival accompanied by various sacrifices as joy at the end of winter and the marriage of the supreme Germanic god Wotan. Evil spirits were also expelled, which was to be done by disguises with masks, shots and fire. However, it is unclear whether the ancestors also held these rituals on the Brocken - the legendary center of Walpurgis activities. ... Walpurgis Night is always celebrated on the eve of the feast day of St. Walburga, a learned woman and abbess of a nunnery whose life had nothing to do with witches and the devil. Only her canonization by Pope Hadrian II on May 1st established the connection to today's Walpurgis Night, because through numerous miracles, which are attributed to Walburga, she is also considered the patron saint of seafaring and against evil spirits." (source - www.harzlife.de/event/walpurgis-info.html) One instrument is the hurdy-gurdy, a bowed instrument (particularly used in the Middle Ages) whose strings are bowed by a disc wheel above the bridge. The one with the crank. The other instrument is a nyckelharpa. The one with the strings being pricked. Forerunners of the modern nyckelharpa have existed since the Middle Ages. Evidence of the existence of such instruments is mainly found in Sweden, but also in Denmark, Germany, Austria and Italy. There are a variety of forms of the nyckelharpa. A modern chromatic nyckelharpa has four playing strings. Depending on the design of the keyboard, a different number (usually three or all four) of the playing strings can be shortened with tangents and thus the pitch can be changed. Strings without a keyboard row are often used as drones. In addition, there are usually twelve sympathetic strings or sympathetic strings. These sympathetic strings lie below the melody strings and are not bowed with the bow, but stimulated to resonate by the tones played and their overtones. The sympathetic strings create the impression of a hall effect. When the first nyckelharpor were equipped with sympathetic strings is unclear. (Wikipedia) I heard a nyckelharpa live in Sweden. That's incredible. You can't really hear that in this video. A "violin" is played and it sounds like a whole string orchestra is playing. Lyrics: (Google search and Goggle translator:) Soar into the evening sky Tonight the magicians Wild folk and Lilith's kind Lurking winds secretly ride Let's roam to the fires Reach for the stars Good word and bad word Let's carry it on and on today In the willows our dreams will ring And the winds will sing our songs Let's jump over the fire with the sparks On Walpurgis Night! Hear the violins, hear the violins (hey yo) The fires are lit! (hey yo) Follow the dance, follow the dance On Walpurgis Night Impetuous in playing the violins Turns our nightly round dance And we kick wild and free This old magic at Once only in a large circle Let's dance that way Until the first morning light Our dream fabric breaks In the willows our dreams will ring And the winds will sing our songs Let's jump over the fire with the sparks On Walpurgis Night! Hear the violins, hear the violins (hey yo) The fires are lit! (hey yo) Follow the dance, follow the dance On Walpurgis Night Hear the violins, hear the violins (hey yo) The fires are lit! (hey yo) Follow the dance, follow the dance On Walpurgis Night (source: LyricFind) Thank you very much and Greetings from Germany
If you enjoyed Anoana and Krigsgaldr, you need to check out Heilung - “Norupo”. Another must watch is Wardruna and Aurora - “Helvegen”. And yes, Heilung does preform in the US. They refer to their performances as rituals.
I always wonder why everyone insists on the live version. Krigsgaldr is one of the few Heilung-songs with it's own music video that describes the story behind the take Heilung takes on the rune-inscription from the Eggja-stone. Additionally, the studio performance is even better than on the live version, where the rap-section is a little off, and the audience attributes to the overall sound-experience with their ...eccentric vocal contributions... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K7ZqZVunCb4.html
What you said about your stance on spirituality is the same as mine. For some reason this version speaks to me. On a primal level. Loved the reaction 🖤
Well, it's a war song 😁. I understood this song watching the official video and it made me sense because all our countries were built over the blood and the cries of ancient civilizations. I love this LIFA album because I like watching how they produce all the sounds in their songs with so many layers. Heilung, Wardruna, and many other bands like them are able to connect us with our roots that are common to all beings over and under the earth. I love them. By the way, I'm from Chile and I also feel that ancient common call when I listen to Heilung. For the same show watch Alfadhirhaiti , Hamrer hippyer, In Maidjan. If you like Mari'a voice, here there is another beautiful song by her: Songleikr | Ulvetime (Hour of the Wolf) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FF9mtpw365c.html Greetings.
Beautiful reaction, Heilung are one of my favourite Scandinavian bands. you seemed to mirror everything i did when i first heard them from some random recommend via you tube, they truly are incredible, i bought 3 of their albums just after i heard this one piece.
I think people are rightfully scared of bringing certain topics into their channels especially those with nothing to do with said topics, but I think when it is applicable and approached as you have it is perfectly acceptable and promotes a much more healthy tone when tapping into those topics as necessary. Appreciate your awareness on that and sharing your personal experience in relation to the reactions. Anyone squealing about it is just that, a squealer - incapable of perceiving alternative avenues of thought regardless of gain or loss to the information
Recreated the first drop! 😂😂😂 Regarding spirituality, you said you are a quarter cherokee and I reckon the other three quarters of you is viking just looking at your beard. It's no surprise that your natural state might be pagan. 😁😁😁
I’m on the exact same level when it comes to spiritual beliefs… I was raised Baptist, not a good experience for me. I then studied Wicca, Buddhism & under some native elders. Nothing has ever connected to my soul like Heilung… I can’t explain why, I do know that after watching their ceremony live I have never felt so unconnected with the earthly things like politics, religions or anything from the negativity humans like to surround themselves with… yet more of a feeling of peace & brotherhood. I’m so thankful I have found them ♥️
Yes you absolutely need too see them live. My wife and I have gone to two of their shows and it is incredible. They do indeed tour the US but no dates for a new tour are announced yet so we gotta wait on that. For Heilung I reccommend Tenet, Asja, and Nesso. So from what I understand of this song, its a story about a village that is corrupted to war. That's why Kai's part was essentially saying "We dont want to fight but you are forcing our hands"
Hello! I am a newcomer to your channel! I had the privilege of seeing them in 2022 and I can honestly say it is a deeply touching and spiritual experience. Totally life changing for sure. I see that you've only done 2 of their songs on reaction. If you haven't heard or watching it, I HIGHLY recommend "In Maidjan" PLEASE! You will not regret it. Peace and Blessings.
I like so much you reaction. Your reaction is like Heilung: authentic. Heilung was for me a true revelation and I'm stick to their music since I discover them! They are pure genious and also they create and true earth music and ancestral song with a modern melodic style. The music, the choice of instruments and the concept reflect their personal approach to honor their ancestors with respect.
Lifa in general is amazing. In Maidjan has Maria's beautiful part that sounds like an angel singing. Fylgija Ear has become one of my favorites from Lifa. Alfadhirhaiti has amazing energy and I love Kai's ritual he does while Maria sings with he beautiful voice. Another not from Lifa is Tenet a nice one to zone out to.
Hey Panda, know I’m commenting late but, since you’re interested in this kinda thing might I suggest the Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History episodes “Thor’s Angels” and “Twilight of the Aesir” that detail the Christianization of Western Europe all the way to the rise and fall of the Viking era.
The name "Krigsgaldr" means "war song" in the broadest sense (krig = war). However, "galdr" (or galster) is a magic song or a magic spell from common Germanic *galdra magic song, song. To conjure up with a magic spell is bigalan in Old High German. The main background of the prefix German * -gal is the bird song, which means that the Germanic tribes originally derived magic spells or song from the bird calls, such as the generic name of "Nacht-i-gal(l)" (nightingale) in today's High German still recognizable. Examples of this are the second Merseburg spell and the Old English blessing of nine herbs, in which Wodan/Odin appears as a healer or as a magician. In Norse mythology, in the Liederedda (poetic edda), the galster is also attributed to the god Odin, who is also named galdrs fǫður, father of the galster, in the Vegtamskviða (Baldrs draumar), for example.
You MUST react to In Maidjan from this same performance and album. Maria has an amazing, soul lifting solo in that one. The whole performance is legendary.
Hey my Guy, found your channel thanks to the Ren reactions and when I saw you liked Heilung and Beastie Boys I knew you were my people. You should also check out Otyken - My wing (remake) and also Akala's Fire in The Booth, all of them. Also as a wild card Mapei's Don't wait. Which never fails to make me smile 😊
It's ok. same thing happens to me and I've listened to them for 4yrs now. Is your body shakey at a low vibration. It's your DNA awakening to your ancestory. Your ancestors calling you. They live and they live through you and your blood. Cry if you must on or off camera, but release and let the healing begin...afterall Heilung means healing. Whats your connection to nature like?
I saw them in October last year 2022 in Seattle and it was freaking awesome. I was on an emotional high for several days afterward. I'm also a huge fan of Wardruna.
Yo panda. Was wondering if you would want to check out one of lamb of God's new songs off their new album. Songs called September. Has a really awesome life backing track to it that really gets me
This song tells the story of a small Norse Pagan village that is attacked by people coming from the sea. From the lyrics you come to understand that these people want to convert them from their ways of life and their beliefs. They could be Christians. In Northern Europe when Christianity was introduced, and Christians decided to spread it to the far North they came to the Pagans and told them convert or die. And in many villages the Norse Pagan's were literally genosided by the Christian invaders. The people of this village say they want peace, and just to be left alone to coexist with these invaders. They say that they don't agree with the path they choose to follow, and that they believe it will lead to their downfall. But these invaders will not listen , they only understand the language of the sword [violence]. So these Pagan's promise them there will be no coexistence only genoside from which so much blood will flow that it will make the flames of the sun look like dying embers.
Well Krigsgaldr does translates to Warmagic if i am not wrong so i get why you say it sounds like a war chant... if you wanna hear a berserker ritual check Alfadhirhaiti live from the same show as krigsgaldr.
Im right there with you on -needing- to see this group in concert... upside, i have learned today that they will be doing shows in the states this oct going into nov.
You will have to wait until 2024 i think... maybe fall 2023 but still no US date for the new album tour. But they already came, and they did an epic gig along with Native Americans Tribes! I saw them here in France in december and that was absolutely incredible.
You can combine two of the channel’s mainstays in one go: Aurora and Norse folk! Wardruna had her on guest vocals for their song ‘Helvegen’. It’s a great live performance of a beautiful song.
Amazing song and has such a deep meaning, but here is the English part. Gets me so fired up! What am I supposed to do If I want to talk about peace and understanding But you only understand the language of the sword? What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall But you only understand the language of the sword What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace But you only understand the language of the sword I let the blade do the talking So my tongue shall become iron and my words the mighty roar of war Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike All action for the good of all, I see my reflection in your eyes But my new age has just begun, the sword is soft In the fire of the furnace, it hungers to be hit And wants to have a hundred sisters In the coldest state of their existence They may dance the maddest in the morass of the red rain Beloved brother enemy, I sing my sword song for you The lullaby of obliteration So I can wake up with a smile And bliss in my heart and bliss in my heart and bliss in my heart Coexistence, conflict, combat Devastation, regeneration, transformation That is the best I can do for you I see a grey gloom on the horizon That promises a powerful sun to rise, melt away all moons It will make the old fires of purification, purification Look like dying embers, look like dying embers Look like dying embers, look like dying embers Look like dying embers, look like dying embers Look like dying embers, look like dying embers Look like dying embers, look like dying embers
Great reaction video. Sometimes it's just nice to see someone else get sucked in with you even if the commentary is sparse at times. It adds to the honesty of the reaction. I can't seem to find your other Heilung reaction. Is it unlisted?
We're loving in a world that feels more and more like a giant factory. Stuff like this pierces this feeling and returns us to ourselves. It's not the same religion that tells us what to do and enforces rigid rules, but something else altogether. You might enjoy some of Munknor. They made a song, Deyja, which has a lovely video portraying this.
They have done at least 2 tours in the USA, as far as I know and very popular. Last tour in USA and Canada was 2022, late August to early October - 16 venues.

This stuff is primal, brother. I'm an old metalhead but this shit does it! In Maidjan got me and now I love it all. Primal. I don't think there's anyone that this won't resonate with. Pretty sure primal music could bring us all together...that and F'n Slayer!!!
Ok this is gonna be a long one... Ive just spent the last 2 days going down a rabbit hole of watching 'Hi Ren' reactions and came across yours. Subbed straight away. So, I've been looking through your content and have a few recommendations I think you'd like. First off, you said you liked Nightwish, Have you heard of Jinjer? If not, try 'Jinjer- Vortex' I'd also say, if you like folk metal... try 'Bloodywood- Dana Dan' As for Heilung, ALL their songs are great and Id say watch em all but I'd add 'Wardruna' to that list too. Love your breakdowns/analysis so keep up the great work. Guess that wasn't as long as I thought. 😕
Their music on the audio only doesn't bring justice to their live performances. Really. I had the honour to see them live last year and I will never be the same!
@@Dave-hb7lx Oh, interrsting. I actually prefer the studio record more for Traust than the live concert version, because the subtleties got lost for me live. Might have been the venue and the sound techs, sure, but how Traust plays from one ear to the other and utilises echo makes it (to me) better as a studio album 😀
Glad you checked it out, and my prediction was that you won´t be disappointed. I had the chance to see them live in Munich last December. A unique experience i will never forget.
Ive seen Nightwish live 3 times and Heiling live once. They do tour in the US. Unfortunately if Nightwish does tour the US again they wont have Marco with them anymorw which makes me sad.
I was raised Christian but always found it hard to get on board with. In the past few years , I've been doing a lot of research on Nordic paganism and it really resonates with me. Look into your ancestral background and research their pre-Christian beliefs. Also, if you like this you need to check out Helvegen by Wardruna with Aurora
Yeah brother, you get it. There’s something more than music here isn’t it? We just saw them live in Melbourne last weekend and … oh my … you have to see them live mate. Also, have a listen to Hamrer Hippyer - that’ll get the blood pumping!
I was very surprised by your comment about politics, religion and spirituality. I didn't see this coming at all. Without getting too political myself I will just say this: Desert deities are not for us - and you are not the only one who knows this on a deep level.
you should react to In majan from the same concert great throat singing and her voice leads you somewhere else. one thing. this is not something they made up their lyrics come from ancient texts and poems and the female singer headgear is an almost exact copy of one found in an archeological dig in Sweden and it belonged to a female shaman or seer which is the role Maria Franz has on stage. the shamans on stage are the ones with horns Maria who is from Norway and Kai who is from Germany. and yes they just toured in the USA I think the tour american leg is over but you can check. another great video you can react to is Narupo great song and great visuals.
man was born free free thought actions withe consequence no forgivin sins there are no sins its all man but actions demands reactions no such thing as a fre lounch
YES Heilung tours! They just did a USA tour. You can go to Heilung's website and youtube channel to find tour dates. In person, not only do you feel the energy of the room but you feel the beat of the drums through your WHOLE BODY! Heilung is an EXPERIENCE not just a concert show!
