That the gods should have allowed me to walk this midgard at the same time as Heilung and David Bowie!! Such a lucky man

Best description I've heard about Heilung. Heilung makes you homesick for a place you've never been, and a life you've never lived.

This song in particular just does something to my brain, I can be having goosebumps, tearing up, and grinning all at the same time

Great reaction to this ritual. Grettings from northern Germany

The music of Heilung has helped me through a period of depression and loss over the past few months. Maria's voice is so mesmerizing, the band is fantastic.

I was at Hammersmith in that crowd for this Ritual. Breathtaking just does'nt cut it. Loved this reaction.

This is a prime example that music transcends language!! This song is hypnotic and simply stunning and the live version is beautiful!! Great reaction as usual

This...experience (to call it a "song" would almost be insulting), is beautiful beyond words.

Heilung messes with my brain in the best way possible. Those drums and the vocals send my mind to another dimension.

can you imagine what could happen if heilung and aurora would collaborate?

Just saw them live last week. It was truly magical. Almost 4 hours of amazing music and feelings that I wish never ended. I could've stayed all night if they could've played all night.

You must have seen it. To understand. I was 01 -23 - 2023 in Tilburg ( NL). And i have a ticket for Amsterdam, 09 - 21 - 2024. ❤❤❤❤

I had a 6th row center seat at their show in Greensboro NC a few weeks ago. This and every other performance was indescribable! I already had high expectations but they were blown out of the water. I'm 79 and a frequent concert attender, this was the most mind blowing show I have ever seen.

I've seen them 2 times now Detroit and St Louis. There's just no way to describe that experience. Takes days to decompress and process it all.

This song brings me to tears every time without fail

Heilung are hitting a part of us that Needs their music. I would call it magical, spiritual......I can't watch them without being changed from a depressed, life laden person into somebody that feels more than human, full of awe.

I was at the Denver performance a week ago. The ritual is still staying with me even today. Albeit the view was not as good and the sound loses a bit due to room acoustics, it was still a magical night. To be in the audience and feel the drums and the spears striking the stage really does add to their performance. They are amazing artists and are allowing us a window into our past. Priceless.

Nothing to say more... I´m totaly agry with you! Thanks for this reaction. Take care and stay healthy. Greets from Germany.

Totally agree, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It reduces me to tears every time, it calls to something I've long forgotten within me.

Yep this is one of the best live performances I've ever seen

Heilung helped me out of a SERIOUS depression a few years ago. Got to say that to Maria at the listening/release of Drif 🥰

Like others in this comment section, I too got to see them live in South Carolina just last weekend and had tears streaming down my face for at least 50% of the performance and was elated and shook for the other 50%. It was astounding and the audience was SO into it. Wolf and bird calls (really good ones too) could be heard as well between songs and during the final closing bits of Hamrer Hippyer after Kai says those last guttural final words, he threw up some quick rock/devil horns 🤘and whispered "thank you, you were amazing". Agh! My heart! I've always felt that music is the closest thing to tangible magic that modern humans still have a connection to that runs deep, but good gods if Heilung are the first music I've ever heard that makes that idea cut to the bone.

Flawless is the perfect description of this performance! And that's from an old rock musician who has toured. Flawless is Heilung!

The “big” pieces from Heilung are spectacular, of course, but Nesso is my favorite. It feels intensely personal.. gets under your skin. It is a spell against disease and pain, and it illustrates perfectly how much in tune with the source material, Heilung really is.

I just went to the concert in Denver on Sunday. I love music. Been to a couple hundred concerts. Mostly Black metal,Goth, industrial ones. Others too. This was the best I have seen in 25 years. I cried. I don't cry. I had energy sensations in my chakras to the point I was getting scared. No church can make you feel like that

Just them 5th row center. One of the best shows ive ever seen, I took a little clip of this song it's on my page. And small clips from other songs. To good of a show to sit there and recorded

There’s something powerful about watching reactions to songs that already make me cry tears of spiritual delight. “Surely it can’t be just me, right?” And with Heilung, it’s ALWAYS a shared experience with the content creator, which reflects back to me intensifying my own experiences…😅

In Proto-Germanic, Ano means ancestor or forefather. Ana came to two close contenders; Icelandic and Old High German. In Icelandic, it means to Rush to or to Barge into. Whereas in Old High German, it meant Grandmother. Of course, we can easily conclude Landawariar means Guardian of the Land due to appearing to combine the words Land (Landa) and Warrior (Wariar). Greets from the Center of Germany🙂✌🤘

There is blood memory in this

I was fortunate to see them last month, and oh my goodness, hearing Anoana in person was impressive. The whole concert was a potent ritual, I feared I was not going to sleep at all that night.

When I saw this had come out I was hesitant to click on it -- afraid it might suck. They couldn't have done a better stage version IMO. I'm pretty amazed. I love this too. ••• Thanks! PEACES!!!

Around seven years ago, a Scadinven Prime minster called for The Scandinavian ruins to be prohibited when Heilung Lifa was first performed.

When I listen to Heilung, I feel like my soul receives something that it's been missing. I love them so deeply!! I hope you continue to review other titles from them. Heilung is the very definition of healing and God knows we could all as a collective use some of that!!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

I was fortunate enough to see them live with my son. Amazing, transcendent performance.

I was at that show/ceremony! Words cannot explain how amazing they are live. I truly hope you get to see them some day. Also I love how you minimise yourself and not the artist which is what everyone else does. Respect ! Love your enthusiasm.

No idea if there's still tickets available, But Heilung is nearing the end of their current US Tour, with a concert in St. Louis today, Kansas City the 3rd and Denver the 5th. And then a concert in L.A on December 11th.

Heilung is just SO cool..

I was there. An amazing, magical, spiritual evening. I don't know where you are, but they're currently touring in The US.

This is holy music❤

My friend, they just finished playing in America, just saw them in Sr. Louis

Literally tears streamed down my face. The performance is breath taking!!!!

I agree with you, they are great. I like most of their music.

Good very good .

Thank you so much for being one of the few reactors to watch the live version of this song. I love the song deeply and I love this reaction. Thanks, man!

It's nice to meet you brother. And you voiced my own response to this. Rock on

Understandable!

All i can say is that their name couldn't be more perfect - Heilung = Healing and that is without hyperbole exactly the effect their music has on my soul.

Attended one of their "awakenings" here in Norway at a viking burial site....quite spectacular I must admit !

I got chills on my chills! So beautiful!

I got to see them live the other day. The entire experience from start to finish was incredible. The energy in the room just hits different. And Anoana was definitely one of the highlights for me.

Heilung in Studio already is way beyond devine human music. Always a joy when a new album is out. But their songs ripe like wine until they are finally performed live.

It was just like this and more live in Sydney March 2023. Astonishing...still moved months later.

👌❣️🔥🙌So so amazed by this

I absolutely love this live version! Chills! They are performing live in Colorado this weekend and then in Los Angeles in December.

Amen brother. I’ve listened to it 100s of times and break down time and time again, in grief and joy. There is no other music I have ever encountered in my life that produces such emotion within me, period. It is simply put, beautiful, tribal, grounding, and takes us back right to our roots with the sounds and chants of our ancestors.

Saw the ritual on 3 Nov in KC. There are no words to describe what I believe to be one of the most moving events in my life. Beautifully Primal is as close as I can get.

Totally immersive. To experience this live must be a mind altering journey. Emotions are running high right now. Processing...

Saw these guys at a Viking festival in York, England a few years ago. Had no idea what I was going into and it melted my face off. Been absolutely obsessed since, something about those vocals and drums that just gets in your bones

I saw them this past week in St. Louis. The whole ritual was astonishing as music and performance art.

I agree with everything you said. To me their performances are perfection personified. Like you, I tear up with many of their performances, there is something about them that seems to reach deep inside me. The difference between the official video and the live performance is that the official one visually tells the story of the young girl transformation.

I've known about Maria Franz for more than ten years. It's amusing that she's finally gotten wide-spread recognition after wearing antlers and covering her eyes.

I discovered these about 6 months - 1 year ago and I think it`s been my best musical discovery ever. I remember the excitement as a teenager, hearing Gothic and Metal bands for the first time, that pure adrenalin feeling. Hearing Heilung all these years later has brought that all back, I am so excited about them and I cannot wait to see them live.

I first saw this performance. IMO it is even better than the origin music Video! All thumbs Up!👏👍

in the movie Vision Quest, a cook [?] explains watching a soccer game in which he watches another human being [Pele' ?] flip upside down, kicks the ball in for a score and it brought him to tears. that is how i feel watching this performance. it makes me feel glad to be human that i can enjoy their performance and have it stir my emotions.

I was there when they recorded this and it was genuinely the most amazing thing I've ever seen, really excited for the full DVD to come out next year.

Great reaction to this beautiful number. I am so lucky to have seen this live in March this year . A friend recommended them just before they performed here in Australia, and Anoana live on stage was incredible. The audience was transfixed. It’s not just the music, it’s the visual experience, and the lighting. Then seeing the audience around you having such strong feelings. Truly this was an event I’ll never forget. Julia

The most amazing live performance I have ever seen!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

I remember hearing this song for the first time while watching the video and one of the first thoughts I had (having seen their other live work and having listened to songs like Traust and Nesso more than any other single song in their catalogue) was “how the fuck are they going to pull this song off live?”, particularly with the culmination in Maria pitching up during the bonfire sequence at the end of the music video. Idk who noticed it but she is going even higher in the live version than what she did on the album, which exceeded what I expected or even feel I deserve. the transitions before and during Kai’s portions were executed smoothly too. I know they had some hiccups with stage issues during Tenet at some of their performances, esp with lighting effects, but this was just so gorgeously done and they managed to capture the epicness of the song without the stellar visuals of the music video. I’m so so impressed. I can’t wait for the full 2024 Lifa, mostly because of Nesso. I’m dying to hear it live.

Normally I’m one of these silent observers that doesn’t comment. I just really enjoy people experiencing music I love for the first time or in a different setting. I was there at the Apollo, third time actually. First time I saw them in the Roundhouse in 2019 an experience I treasure and hopefully never forget. I met someone I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. We attended the second ritual in York. Danced with the warriors, got covered in black body paint which the hotel was very happy about (not😂). But unfortunately 2020 decided to have different plans for us so we went our separate ways. Anoana was my comfort song during this time. So when this started and the moment hit where it was just Maria singing I think 3 years of build up pain and everything came out (I wasn’t the only one crying) What I’m trying to say is that if anyone is in doubt to see them please do because you will never experience anything like it again. I’m not a religious person but this is probably the closest thing I’ve felt to something higher existing. So to you good Sir I really hope their next tour is closer to you and allows you to experience their ritual as intended because they are indeed quite “Healing” 🤍

You are awesome :-)

Truly an amazing band and song! They are currently on an US tour and still have some dates left, but I'm sure they'll return next year and I hope you get to see them!

🌱🌳🍏💚

Missed seeing them in Glasgow during this tour due to ill heallth, was kicking myself, but at least there live performances are available on youtube. Outstanding performance, sure to try and catch them next time they are in Scotland.

If you have a change, go see them live! I've been to their show last year and I can't even describe how much I did enjoy that! Hands down the best live concert I've ever been to (I and believe me, I've seen many). It really was an experience! Unforfortunatelly (well, depends...) I would say, that this band cannot be captured by any camera... You have to be there to experience that fully!

Do you do voice acting? You should! You have an amazing voice sir :)

💚Heilungs Live Performances are mostly mutch better than the Studio records!💚

SUBBED!

I love the original but honestly this live version is just better and hits harder.

oo its that macoy poster behind you? seen fotn over 50 times, seen heilung 2019. last exit for the lost is my fav what's yours? @thepentagenarianreacts

Who are the artists in your background?

I too wonder what the words mean. Watching them and listening to their drums and chant, I was actually alarmed. This truly reminds me of devil worship! I pray that God leads you to save your souls! ✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼✝️
