i hear alot of people being creeped out but it had the opposite effect for me. i felt "home" and like its healing me (which is funny cause the name heilung means healing)
I always love watching people hearing Heilung for the very first time. The only way I can describe them is "pure nostalgia to a place far away and long ago you've never been to and could never reach again". They just strike your primal side so incredibly well, it leaves you completely (me at least) entranced. Edit: Heilung has a talent for being creepy, haunting, entrancing, calming, energizing and beautiful at the same time. Funnily enough, there are 2 main reactions to Heilung. One goes: "they look and sound funny. Bunch o' weirdos" which goes for my best friend. And the other is just completely captivated by them and do not just hear music, but like you actually experience something more.
Great reaction! Heilung is a piece of nordic art. Everytime I hear their music I feel like I'm in trance. You can try "Anoana" next (in my opinion their best song), or one of their darker pieces, the live performance of "Krigsgaldr". Greetings from Germany
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody the whole "LIFA" is out on RU-vid... and more than worth to watch.... not one bad song..... and it´s even their first live performance ever...
Another european nordic "banger": "Helvegen" by the norwegian folk band 'Wardruna" feat. (one of the most beautiful norwegian female singer) Aurora. Goosebumps guranteed! And check out all of Aurora's solo-vids. Lovid😍
@@soleywolfgangsdottir it's the frist time I hear about the Danis symphonical orchestra, gonna check them later, for what you're saying they seems to song really great :3
Missed this, somehow, when you released this a couple of days ago. I just found Heilung myself, a couple of weeks ago. It's fascinating to me and I find myself going back to listen to more from this group, time and again.
You should see them in concert. I got lucky enough that they toured through my area, wow, the videos and online music cannot compare to experiencing it live. They have about 30 people participating in the concert, the drums, the huge drums they used I was back in the 26th row and the beating of the drums I felt beating off of my chest, I couldn't tell what was my heartbeats and the drums. I was honestly afraid I was going to have heart palpation from the concert. It was 2 hours long and my friend and I walked out of the concert and our minds were completely blown away. I'm glad you and the reactor have both discovered this amazing band. Just to give you some info about the band, during an interview the interviewer had asked them a question that had something to reference to their fans, I cannot recall what the question was. But the band members looked confused and clarified that they do not have fans, they have brothers and sisters.
Heilung means healing and their music really does reach me at a core and spiritual level and has helped me get through and heal through some pretty traumatic shit.
I was fortunate enough to see them live in Manchester last year. It was...incredible. A ritual, a concert, a religious experience and a trip, all at once.
I love that you started with my 2 favorites - you definitely need to check out the live of 'In Maidjan'. Heilung is absolutely just an experience, it's more than music. They filmed Narupo at real ancient standing stones :) I look forward to seeing you check out more of them. I'm also here for Dreamcatcher, what a wild time genre hopping. 😂🤣😂
I had a Routine during the Norwegian winter to listen to this song when doing ice baths. When the vocal started i had to be fully submerged, and i did not allow myself to go up from the water until the song was done. Real powerful experience and stress reducer.
Loved your reaction :D Yeah it is very tribal and real. Old words resonnating through excellent artists and musicians. I dont feel creeped out, I feel more "connected" to my ancestors in a strange way. I love it! It gives me strength. It is new, but at the same time VERY old.
Welcome to the old world of Heilung, whose name means "healing." I hope you continue this journey. I'd suggest this one for your next. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kmWTZ3KfnXE.html&ab_channel=Heilung. It's called "In Maidjan." It's from a live show. You'll like it.
Heilung music is an experience like no other. It connects with that deep spiritual and primal part of you from long ago ages. It's hard to explain. It is very trance like.
You should try listening to the female vocalist's other band, Euzen. They're much more pop-sounding but still extremely digestible because of her great range.
This is music where if you get high and listen to this you're going for a journey. One of the few bands that I've seen where the music alone is good but the vocals accentuate the music. Even in rock and metal the vocals are kinda just there, whether they're good or bad is besides the point. These vocals just add another layer of sound reverberating through your mind as you listen to the song.
My favorite band. So original. Saw them in Norway at the Midgardsblot festival where they were nothing less than brilliant. If you haven't done so already, check out their first stage performance from Castlefest (2017) to get an idea of why their live act is so compelling. Good reaction.
It doesnt feel like just music to me either, they are shamans, speaking to and for the land. Takes me to a different place, a lot more gently and if I had had those mushrooms I reckon

You jus went back to Nature Check kölning in sweeden If You go far up in sweeden you Can hear women calling Cows in the summer with the voice like her Its the Sound of Nature and ceremony Its real music like the native americans
I feel Heilung in my DNA. I love watching others be woken up by it too. If you’re energetically sensitive, you are pulled in and full ON experience. They’re rituals. Perhaps it’s unsettling to you, bc it conjures something deep in your eternal memory that we tend to forget, this side of the veil. You got something awakened in you. You did experience something. Their songs are rituals as much as they are art and poetry. It’s animist, it’s nature, it’s us. Loved your reaction. ✨🕯️
Heilung lyrics.. 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. We are all one.
I need to piggy back off of this, Anoana is a great one, but listen to them, Wardruna, Danheim, Faun, Skald; come walk with me and Odin, we will show you the wonders of the old sounds.
Translated Lyrics from Old Norse Wealth cause dispute among friends; the wolf lives in the forest Slag comes from bad iron the reindeer often races over the frozen snow. Giant causes women's sorrow; few are cheerful from misfortune River mouth is way of most journeys; but the sheath is the one of swords Riding, one says, is for horses the worst; Regin forged the best sword Ulcer is fatal for children; death makes man pale Hail is the coldest of grain; Herjan shaped the world in olden times Need leaves you little choice; the naked freeze in the frost [MALE VOICE] Ice we call the broad bridge; the blind man must be led Good year is a blessing for men; I say that Frodi was generous Sun is light of the land I bow before the holy Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir; often the smith must blow [MALE VOICE] Birch is the limb greenest with leaves; Loki brought success of deceit Man is increase of soil; mighty is the hawk's claw Water is what falls from the mountain; but of gold are the jewels Yew is the greenest tree in winter; it often singes when it burns
100% - I saw them last year as well and the entire show was unreal. I had tears running down my face so many times and left feeling uplifted and energized. Such an experience!
Great Reaction! 🙂👌 This Band "Heilung" (Means Healing in German) is a Norwegian/Danish/German Proto-Germanic Folk Band. Don't get confused with the Germanic designation, Germanic includes the Scandinavian Area + West and East Germanic Area from Sweden, Norway and Danmark down to Germany, Netherland, England, Poland to Austria and Switzerland. Back then we shared all the same Pagan Religion, and that's what this music is about - Old Germanic/Pagan Folklore, it is sung in proto-Norse, German, Gothic and Latin. sorry for the long explanation 🙂
Your reaction is exactly what everyone feels the first time they heard Heilung. It kind of opens your eyes to a part of us that's been missing, and it aches and feels unsettling to realize we've been incomplete this whole time.
Heilung: Lifa Live - the whole concert is available. But Krigsgaldr, Alfadhirhaiti, Othan to name but a few. Then once you've seen all of LIFA try Anoana.
Yeeesss, Heilung is one of my favorite bands! I highly recommend checking out their song "Tenet". Without giving a long-winded explanation here, just look up some info about the song. These guys are musical geniuses. If you want something that goes hard from them, "Hamrer Hippyer" will get you ready to go into battle (even though it's a healing song, to my understanding.) The live version has crazy amounts of energy!
Yay! Another favorite of mine! Nothing like Heilung and Wardruna to ground you to nature and your ancestors :D That heavy, uneasy feeling is kind of addictive imo. It makes you feel small and unimportant in the grand scope of history and humanity, but at the same time kind of awestruck and venerating. There is a swedish word that kind of desribes this feeling - "ödesmättad". It roughly translates to "fate saturated" or "fate/history heavy" but with a kind of dark, unevitable connotation. Krigsgaldr is another great song! And "Helvegen" with Wardruna feat Aurora. The closest to a pronounciation guide to Heilung I can do is "Hei" sounds like "Hi" and the u i "lung" sound like the o in "womb", but short! :)
Heilung is the absolute BEST. No matter where I am or what I do, when I hear HEILUNG singing, I feel blessed, thankful and full of respect. I am a 57 year old woman living in beautiful South-Africa. Their music speaks to me.
I don't know how I missed your reaction, but it was great! I love these guys. Maria is an amazing vocalist and I hope you get a chance to see one of their live performances. Thanks!
From what I have read, Heilung translates as "healing". Whether they tell a cautionary tale, or a story from ages long before, the intent of the music is to heal, to grow. (before I talked about a lot of the things I was/am [engineer/dentist]) I've also have a life long passion for playing acoustic music in a very primitive format.. early on, it was playing Trad Irish (even got to play with a couple members of The Bothy Band in a Portland Irish pub jam). In college years, my roommate when to the Museum Art School in PDX and our rented house became a place for musical gatherings (no, not a single Djembe was played) with probably 20 or more musicians... loads of percussion, flutes, primitive reeds. We even had a harpischord (storing for my sister). At one time, we counter 118 strings hanging on the wall. We had a piper come in once...inside...not for the faint of heart! It was a primorial ooze of sound. I made clay-pot bells and we had stringed-things that we played, without knowing anything about them, like a tagelharpa. 2 years there, and we never came up with anything as simple and beautiful as this. Please sir. May I have some more? btw, I am something of an amateur mycologist and those shrooms were neither Amanita muscaria nor Psilocybe semilanceata (both claimed to be used by Norse for 'that' experience). 40+ years of ID'ing mushrooms in the PNW... and I've got P. semilanceata growing in my Shetland Sheeps' pastures. Probably P. cubensis from the scale pattern... the color seems a bit light, but that could be a regional difference. But ever since I was 19, I've stuck to the chanterelles and morels and edible boletes. I do better when my vision is not enhanced
Don't feel bad about not feeling like you listened to music, but "experienced something." The origin of music and dance dates back to Neolithic days where music and dance were part of spiritual rituals. The whole purpose and vide is to make the listener experience a spiritual awakening. In some cultures, Hallucinogens were used to enhance this. Viking culture went as far as using drugs to embark on both spiritual journeys and prepare themselves for war, as both are one in the same. You experienced Viking spirituality at it's finest. That's one of the reasons I love this band.
Hi-lung means healing in old Norse and their music and performance are Kai's shamanic tools to heal people. I'm pretty much obsessed with them lol because I happened to find them while on an extremely intense mushroom journey and it was fucking amazing bro.
Heilung are just .... There aren't even any words ! It's such an emotional experience and takes you right back to your roots. You can feel it through every inch of your body. I absolutely adore them and can't wait to see them live 😍🖤 Great reaction also ^^
Heilung ('HI-LUNG') refers to their music as "Amplified History"....... The name means 'healing'.......Maria Franz performs like a pagan shaman and is just magnificent, as are all the members.........p.s., love the Rune stones which are authentic on location in France......the ritual emulates the movement depicted on those stones
I love seeing Americans discover European metal and folk bands. American metal (to me) seems very angry and trying to make as much noise as possible or they miss the plank completely with whiny teenager voices. lol. (Oh, I do like a bunch of songs from Slipknot though). I sorta hate to b*tch at American music, but it is my opinion. To me European metal often (of course not always) sounds more sophisticated. American metal is written. European metal is composed. A lot of European metal is composed like how classical music is composed. Not like the basic pop formation or anything like that. To me it makes it way more intense and interesting to listen to. (This was not to diss America. If I wanted to dis America, I would talk about a whole lot of other things than music. lol) 😉 Ok, foot in my mouth now. Have a nice day, Cosmic! 😊
This is the account of what the runes means like " ᚱ ᚱ (r) Ræið kveða rossom væsta; Reginn sló sværðet bæzta." In english that would be something like " Riding is the worst for horses, Regin made the best swords."
I have a hard time listening to Heilung. Any of their songs. I however have a viscerally emotional response to them. Every, single, time. Best I can explain is that it spiritually hurts. Like my soul feels like its listening to something that was ripped from it eons ago. Like a memory you forgot but out of no where comes back like it happened 10 minutes ago. Even with all that said I listen to them daily. I feel like I need to.
Heilung is amazing. There are no words really to describe the emotions that their music creates in your heart and soul. You should listen to Wardrunas Kvitravn (White Raven) and Lyfjaberg (Healing-mountain). They were my introduction to Scandinavian music. Very in tuned with nature and very spiritual. There is something very ancient in their sound.
Not sure if you will ever see this. But The Charismatic Voice did an lovely interview with the female singer. I suggest you check that out. Maybe not to a reaction to it unless you want to do a long video reaction lol. But she is out of uniform and makeup. Hint... Redhead and beautiful hehe.
I don't unerstand how some people find this creepy I've never felt anything like that listening to them or watching them. by the way they are trying to recuperate their ancient culture and use ancient texts this song is in old norse and they use a lot of throat singing it's a complex piece of music if you pay attention.
Everyone feels things differently. I never heard anything like this, it was a completely new experience. Though it was creepy, I felt drawn to it. Now I love em.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody It's obvious everyone is different and feels differently towards things it's perfectly ok and natural. I only wanted to express my feelings maybe I didn't word it in the right way.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody I spent a full week on Krigsgaldur, both versions, so I get where you are coming from. But Anoana is wonderful, InMaidan great and Traust and Norupo like a punch to the gut, but in a good way. I ended up in Heilung through Nightwish and Sabaton, but I’m Swedish, and used to the tonality of Scandinavian folkmusic. Heilung … speaks to and awakens something deep down
