Its weird, when ever i listen to Heilung i get two kinda moods.. When Maria starts singing i kinda wanna cry, her voice is that beautiful.. When Kai and Chris start singing i wanna go berserk...
Lol, Kai and Chris feed the feral side of me. 😂

Heilung is no joke, a life changing experience to see live.
7:47 They are singing every single rune of the Elder Futhark (basically the old Germanic version of the alphabet's ABC song).
To be fair, I think Heilung draw on a fairly long time span of Northern European Germanic cultures, including the early viking age
in a recent album they go back all the way to the first song we have the lyrics for
They're all pretty interconnected, as the Germanic peoples spread rather far and wide. Some settled in Scandanavia and became the Norse, there was of course the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians settled in Britain, and the various Goths, Franks, Vandals and others who spread into the Roman Empire. A surviving legacy of that culture is found in the English names for the days of the week, all named after Germanic gods.
Not an horror film, but a version of this song is in the 2020 Hellblade 2 trailer, a videogame to be release next year. The soundtrack is going to be made by Heilung
They actually used this song in the first reveal trailer Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II at the The Game Awards 2019, it is super affective.
Came here to post this. Also, the woman who vouces/motion captures Senua is actually voicing the song in the trailer. She worked with Heilung to learn how to throat sing. You can hear both his and her voices in the trailer... it's amazing
The song they did immediately after this one, Alfadhirhaiti, is an absolute banger. Also the stringed instrument played with the bow is a Ravanahatha. It makes a sort of droning sound
I use all the runic chant to practice my breathing. Now I can sing every set with one breath and also gives me some kind of peace, like a meditation
I do the exact same
I saw them live in Berlin, it's really something else, i can't describe it right now, it's life changing, gonna see them live again in August the 31st. here in Berlin, i can't wait
I just saw them in SC. It was over 2 hours long! I was blown away!
Go see the ritual in Baltimore!!! It's life changing! The main part of the song is reciting the names of the 24 Futhark runes: Fehu, Uruz, Thurizaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kennaz... (F, U, Th, A, R, K). The string "flute-like" instrument is a ravanahatha (an ancient instrument used in India, Sri Lanka and surrounding areas, originating from Hela People, then brought to North India by Hanuman, then to India).
A friend of mine tricked her kids one year by using runes on their Yule (Winter Solstice) presents instead of English. Her daughter (8) went and looked up the runes in one of Mom’s books. 😂
This is my favorite Heilung performance. For some reason Krigsgaldr is the most often first listen for new reactors.
I feel like Krisgaldr is more accessible to the uninitiated.
I like all of it so far. But the reason it was my first was because it was a donation request. I’m bath happy to have found them…no matter what don’t. They are awesome.
Yup Intell very recent in Norway they found proof that us northern Eroupe were vikings frist before Germany
Maria's outfit is a replica of one that was found in an archaeological dig, I believe it was that of a shaman.
A female shaman found in Germany I think.
@@deed5811 no Sweden.
yes it was found in Sweden. anyway when you see horns like those they are shamans in this case both Maria and Kai are the shamans on stage and if you notice they are the ones without shoes. by the way they are chanting in old norse not in their native language (Maria is from Norway Kai is from Germany).
@@littlemouse7066 Germany
@@deed5811 from what I know it's Sweden.
That horn is called a lyr and it is sn instrument we have used since the bronze age here in Norway. It is still in use today as a musical instrument.
And their music are in the tv series vikings,game of trones.
And in the game Hellblade II Senua's Saga.
And you must see them live they are amazing and you will not regret it
Er musikken deres med i GOT? må sjekke dette :)
In Maidjan is still one of my favorites from Heilung, second only to Anoana. I love the ones that heavily feature Maria's vocals. She's a powerhouse and I think In Maidjan showcases that, her vocal flexibility. She was doing all sorts of vocal gymnastics in that short solo... the banshee scream, the parts where she almost goes polyphonic, and her incredible range. Othan is another great one of theirs I would recommend. (also from Lifa concert.) It's another Maria-dominate song. And Anoana if you haven't already.
I loved Anoana! Check it out when you have time: czcams.com/video/C6f7AZtOvEA/video.html
Heillung unveils our profound need and recognition of our ancient shamanic origins...
Well that was mesmerizing. I loved her voice. Her outfit reminded me of the Celtic God of the Forest Cerrnunous. (Represented by a stag)
At the start i got a bit of The Hu then it exploded frim there. Lol.
Ill have to check them out for sure. Thanks Jeremy for this.
Maria's voice, I.M.H.O. is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
Though I don't know the language of most of their rituals, the emotion of said rituals will make the shamans message perfectly clear....Peace and healing of mind and spirit.
They have stated that they don't have fans, They have brothers and sisters in companionship. My hope is anyone who listens to Heilung and others find peace and healing of their spirit and mind.....
D. Frost proof, FL. U.S.
I heard that Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul were working on this new project (that would become Heilung) and Maria came in. They asked her to do a few vocals for a song, telling her to just do whatever she want. She threw a bunch of vocal gymnastics and tricks at them figuring they would chop it up and sample it. They loved it so much that they kept everything exactly as she sang it and that's why her "vocal solo" in this song is so technically impressive.
Putting up the cell phones is a modern form of worship it could be argued.
The main chant/verse is a reciting of nordic ruins, over and over and over. It's an invocation of written language.
By all means, if you have the possibility, go to the concert. The luve experience is on a whole different level. They are fantastic. And I can't wait to see them again. They really take you on a journey.
We are hoping to see their October "ritual" in Baltimore - fingers crossed!! How amazing!!
I have only watched CZcams videos, definitely need to watch more!
Instance vocal ranges 🎉 the beauty of hearing a band bring traditional music 🎶 to this venue , thanks for sharing 😊
I've been to two rituals, both superb in every way !!!
Welcome to Europe 'Mericans. Love, from Portugal
Its wild to think that this is the first song they ever performed at a live event. What an opener... you would think they've been doing live shows for decades.
This, and similar sounds, are what I put on when I'm writing.. You start picking up the vibe and the words just flow.
You absolutely need to see them live the power of these sights and sounds indoors!
If you feel something stirring deep inside you don’t be alarmed. The old ways are still within you. You are everything you are today but you are also this too.
I've said it before and I'll say it again they just reach in and grab you by the DNA and don't let go.
Do go see them live. I've seen them twice and it has been soul purifying ❤
That screeching in the beginning Maria does...had me thinking I was watching Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". Awesome reaction! Her voice is something out of this world.
the charismatic voice has a long interview with Maria, enjoy it.
Her voice is just amazing.
I was fortunate enough to see them in Pittsburgh last year. It was very cool. Maria does another song that is very cool called Songleikr | Ulvetime (Hour of the Wolf). It's a pretty interesting video as well, in studio.
Ulvetime is so beautiful as well. I love that song so much, definitely a good recommendation.
I'm happy to see Heilung get some love amongst the reactors. Thank you.
You have to see them in concert. Their rituals are like no other. The music truly gets into your soul and makes every fiber of your being vibrate. Being a follower of the old ways, it really connects you to that ❤
Our souls remember. We spent many lifetimes with Shamans and Ritual. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.
The string instrument is a ravanahaththa (variant names: ravanhatta, rawanhattha, ravanastron, ravana hasta veena).
That was so incredibly primal. It almost answered something deep within me.
Hell yeah Jeremy, didn’t even realize you had a CZcams channel, subscribed! Awesome Bro ✌🏻
Hell yeah man! Thank you for the sun my brother! Yeah man…been doing this for the last 5 months or so. What a blast!
Oh lucky you, hope you get to go see them then! I'm absolutely going if they come somewhere near where i live. I love this kind of music, so therapeutic. On another note: i get to go see Home Free in Oslo this september! So exited! 🤩🤩
This is the music I listen to before heading out to slay a Mastadon.
Heilung makes their instruments and costumes......."Amplified History"
😮 amazing. I shared this with a guy I know and he already knew them and is a big fan. Said they are amazing live!
Jep, Heilung is pre Viking. My favorite Song is "Krigsgraldyr" 🦇Greets from Germany.🦇
Their throat singing!!! THAT'S SOOOOO COOL!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Your pronunciation was impeccable.
You must see them live. Its a treat!
Maria Franz,our norwegian Goddess for ever
"What's this song about?" - A chunk of it is the ABC equivalent of vikings! No but really, it's the runic alphabet repeated. I forgot what the first part is about. Gotta love Maria mixing kulning (cattle calling) technics in her singing.
1st Aett : Fehu ᚠ - Uruz ᚢ - Thurisaz ᚦ - Ansuz ᚫ - Raidho ᚱ - Kenaz ᚲ - Gebo ᚷ - Wunjo ᚹ
2nd Aett : Hagal ᚺ - Naudhiz ᚾ - Isa ᛁ - Jera ᛃ - Eihwaz ᛇ - Perthro ᛈ - Algiz ᛉ - Sowelu ᛋ
3rd Aett: Tiwaz ᛏ - Berkano ᛒ - Ehwaz ᛖ - Mannaz ᛗ - Laguz ᛚ - Ingwaz ᛝ - Dagaz ᛞ - Othala ᛟ
You should definitely see them live, it is such an experience compared to video. I got to see them in September with a friend of mine, we both left the 2 hour concert feeling so blown away and eagerly waiting for them to come back this way again. Sadly they are touring parts of the country I'm not in this year.
This makes me invision the march to battle, the actual fight and when Maria sings it's a pure white owl flying over the ruins of the battle as brothers pick up each other and find their fallen brethren.
Yes!! You should hear "Troust"!!
I have a suggestion - There's an incredible talent that so far has had no coverage, no reaction videos, nothing.
Have a look at Kiki Rockwell, a New Zealand (via California and Germany) artist that combines folk with electronica in a really interesting way.
Songs I'd recommend are Cup Runneth Over, Same Old Energy or Madeline. *but you can't go wrong with any of her tracks.
I know Elizabeth on Chatismatic Voice channel did an interview with Maria. Worth watching that! Reach out to them, you might get an interview.
I was luck enough to see Heilung in February this year in Manchester (UK), and can say it was an amazing experience, if anybody get the opportunity to see them I advise them to go.
I listen to this show when I’m getting ready to play my drums.
I can see why you would...this totally gets you amped up to shred on those drums!!
The names of the futhark runes were themselves believed to invoke magical properties when spoken or chanted.
You should book your concert tickets as fastas you can, because I think that concert might be an experience many religious search for at church/temple. Only this will bring you back to your genetic roots, no matter ethnicity. Ancient music was very much the same all over the world: the drums beating the same rythm, the chanting followed the beat of the drums, the vocals without words that sung more of the soul, emotions and situations than certain topics.
If you go, I'll be envious of you. Yet, I'll be happy you got to experience it. ❤
The song is about the dawning corruption of a peaceful village into war by foreign pillagers. The whole ritual tell the story. Besides: Futhark isnt just the germanic ABC but also supposed to be spells. Chanting them was a kind of meditation and indication for moods.
Idk if you knew this but this was literally their first time playing together live. For the audio to be this good is fucking insane.
Completely agree!! Nope, didn't know that (whoa!) - thanks for the tidbit, love this kind of info!
"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 would do a joke about roman empire but no one dislike this video :D xD
There you go in trance...
lyrics translation:

Come, guest Tyr

Odin, prepare for battle!

Heilung is history done as right as it can be, considering how many tribal traditions were lost to Christianity. I believe they share lyrics, and translations.
My friends saw them at Red Rocks with the Hu. Apparently it was a spiritual event! 🤘💜
fun fact, this song (or a version of it) was used a couple years ago in the announcement trailer for the upcoming game Hellblade: Senua's Saga (a sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice) would you be interested in reacting to that video as well?
Hopefully you tell us how did it go these are those throws bands I would like to see in person
I have some of the songs on my playlist from them
They are just singing the runic alphabet. I take it as a hymn to the power of the written word and tradition.
5:01 in a horror movie... the killer creeping slowly up to your house..... listening to the music you hear(just this) and fearfully goes to search victims elsewhere....
Heilung does play music from the Germanic Iron Age, but also they take some of their songs from old Norse Sagas, Icelandic Sagas (Viking age songs), etc...they run the spectrum of Iron Age Northern Europe. The band is made up of members from Scandanavia (Denmark & Norway) and Germany.
how do they know, how the germánico Iron ages music sounds? Was there any kind of notation at this time?
@@redtonyred there are some interesting reviews on this band by music historians. They explain it better than I ever could, plus Roman historians wrote about the music and did contemporary historians with the other periods.
i call this the alphabet song. fun to sing along the runes.
Nevermind a horror "movie". Heilung is doing at least some of the ost for Hellblade 2. This same song features in the trailer for the game. (If an even more horrifying version of it) should maybe react to the trailer if you havent. (The instrument is a "Ravanahatha" btw, the oldest known stringed instrument to be played with a bow)
Theres a fantastaic song, called Helvegen, with Wardruna and Aurora, i think youd dig it 🤘
By the way, The Charismatic Voice did an interview with Maria Franz.
Btw.: Do u know the Formation Wardruna? If.not, listen to the Song "Helvegen" (The Live Performance, with Aurora).
What’s hilarious is they still have to go through sound check and whatnot.
Oh I know all about it. One of my biggest gigs, we had to go through about 160 inputs. THAT was a lot. Almost won a damn Grammy for that gig! 🫠
she looks like an ancient shaman her headgear is a copy of one found in a archelogical dig in Sweden and it belonged to a female shaman it's in a museum. by the way they don't use modern languages they use ancient languages like proto germanic old english and old norse.
Bruh imagine taking magic shrooms and go to this concert xD
I saw them last year in Stockholm, i think their ritual was close to two hours. If you include the two warm up shows it was 3,5 hours in total
Gruß aus Schleswig-Holstein.
PLZZ PLZZ INTERVIEW THIS MAGNIFICENT GROUP
I AM SO INTRIGUED WITH U AND THIS GROUPS PERFORMING ARTS TECHNIQUE
DD
Get a ton of tickets. Now. Its worth it.
I mean they're on an intense game soundtrack senuas sacrifice
Oh please add noropu the official music video and the live version of alfadhirhaiti

LOL! Good catch. ✌🏽
4:36 and the Romans have left the chat lol
😂
The hardest alphabet song ever.
They will be sold out ahead of time you don't just rock up to a Heilung ritual
I bet!
My cat HATES this song. She goes nuts and gets bitey. I think Maria's voice hurts her ears. Sorry, kitty!
