I Love Maria Franz, Her Voice Is Like A REAL SIREN. No One Can Understand Why I Like This Band. Very Strong Attraction. 👍👍👍🎶

Imagine having to "wiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwi" for almost 10 minutes.

Is no one going to talk about the stage performance these guys put on? Like damn they really know how to tell a story

this group is like a time machine that transports you back to long ago in a Dark Forest where even the Romans didn't go.

After listening to them, I don't think I can listen to any other type of music, now.

The way they hold hands while singing... this isn't just music. It's a whole spiritual experience.

This music is sacred and shamanic. "May the Ancestors Awaken in our cells and bones! May the Ancestors' Voices be heard!"

First verse is a spell to free warriors from bonds. The repeated chant from the rest of the group pertains to the Helm of Awe. "I wore before the sons of men Amongst all, I alone was strong, For I found no power a match for my own” The bulk of the lyrics are from the Svipdagsmál. Svipdag resurrects the spirit of his dead mother, the Volva Groa. Groa casts 9 spells of protection over him in preparation for a quest he is to undertake. The girl being sacrificed can be seen as the vessel for the spirit of Groa. She then stands upon her burial mound casting her spells and then departs.

I was raised in a strictly Christian household. The feeling I get from Heilungs music is the feeling I assume my parents got from Christianity that I never felt.

As an American, it’s so fascinating that no matter how much they pound American nationalism into us....music like this awakens our ancestral DNA even though we have never had any physical contact with Europe.

For those who want to know what the chant says, here's the traditional English translation of it. It's the spirit of the dead witch blessing her son before a quest. Look up "Groa's Spell" for more context. 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 side Be thy guards on the road thou goest. Then third I will chant thee,  if threatening streams The 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 foes On 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 perchance Shall 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. Then sixth I will chant thee,  if storms on the sea Have might unknown to man: Yet never shall wind  or wave do harm, And calm is the course of thy boat. Then seventh I chant thee,  if frost shall seek To kill thee on lofty crags: The fatal cold  shall not grip thy flesh, And whole thy body shall be. Then eighth will I chant thee,  if ever by night Thou shalt wander on murky ways: Yet never the curse  of a Christian woman From the dead shall do thee harm. Then ninth will I chant thee,  if needs thou must strive With a warlike giant in words: Thy heart good store  of wit shall have, And thy mouth of words full wise.

Thanks for translating the song.i love your music. I'm in North American. My people are Hunkpapa the people of Sitting Bull. White man called us Sioux. Our music is similar to yours it tells our history and our Legends.

I hope this brings upon a mass wave of people reconnecting with their ancestors.

Love your music I’m Native American and your music is like our kind with the drums and decorations but you guys sure do know how to put on a show with your music

I feel like this music activates something on an epigenetic level, some dormant genes from our ancestors 1500 years ago.

For all the silly comments below......... I love Heilung's performance - when I first saw one of the videos (Krigsgaldr) my first thought is performance art. Surprised no one seemed to recognize the sacrificed girl's clothing is copied from the remains of the "Egtved Girl" c. 1390-1370, Nordic Bronze age, who was around 16-18 years old when she died. Her remains were found in a barrow grave outside Egtved, Denmark in 1924. The sacrificed girl on stage is not tied up and stabbed by a spear - someone below mentioned that and claimed it was a sacrifice to Odin or some nonsense. She is tied up and garroted, the way some bog body sacrifices were found, many were killed in very gruesome ways.She is then "raised" and brought to the spirit realm. It is believed some of the sacrificial victims volunteered to be sacrificed for the good of their people as their remains seem to show they may have been a member from higher in the social order. .

I want Heilung to play at my heathen funeral.

Oh man am I a lucky boy to have these people in the same time frame as my own. I honestly didn't think they were going to make another album after their first one seeing as it was absolutely legendary, but here we are, blessed yet again.

this music is really healing our souls !:)

This, this is art, this is fantastic.

Norwegian, Danish, German, Northern British and Scottish blood runs through my veins and it feels GOOD.

Although I don't understand a word I find this music fasinating, almost spell binding. I love it

English translation: Once sat women, they sat here, then there. Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army, Some unraveled fetters: Escape the bonds, flee the enemy! 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. (Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men.) Then next I will chant thee, If needs thou must travel, And wander a purposeless way: The bolts of Urth Shall on every side Be thy guards on the road thou goest. (Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men.) Then third I will chant thee, If threatening streams The danger of death shall bring: Yet to Hel shall turn Both Horn and Ruth, And before thee the waters shall fail. (Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men.) Then fourth I will chant thee, If come thy foes On the gallows-way against thee: Into thine hands Shall their hearts be given, And peace shall the warriors wish. (Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men.) Then fifth I will chant thee, If fetters perchance Shall 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. (Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men.) Then sixth I will chant thee, If storms on the sea Have might unknown to man: Yet never shall wind Or wave do harm, And calm is the course of thy boat.

Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army, Some unraveled fetters: Escape the bonds, flee the enemy! lyricstranslate.com/en/traust-trust.html

What a magic spirit in this song...honor our ancestors always and for ever 🔥

The audio in this video does not do them justice. Not even close. Love these guys. Especially Maria :)

Seeing them perform this song live must be otherworldly

Absolutely amazing they have done it again! Spell binding and mesmerizing!

This music seeps into my dreams and affects me deeply.

Videos can’t describe how it feels watching live. You can just imagine 10% of the real show...

Their music instantly gives me chills...So thankful for discovering them...

The more I listen, the more connected to it I feel... like I can feel it deep within me. Within my bones. Its weird.

This band and this music has totally captivated me. Very glad I found them.

What a performance. Many respects 💀

I hope one day I can experience the magic of being there feeling the vibration of the drums and chants. The video doesn’t do it justice. This is so awesome.

I cannot tell a lie, it goes against everything I believe in, this is the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed, but more than that.., it is the most incredible thing that I've ever felt.

I stumbled upon Heilung. This/They have give me a newly found feeling of reconnectedness. As an Anglo American, I have never experienced this primal connection to my ancestry until discovering Heilung. Thank you. It's about time. You are all amazing!

Just discovered this in the middle of a Pandemic. Comforting in a time of fear and uncertainty.

Welch Unmengen an Magie hier innewohnen. Einfach Brilliant

God this music is amazing. I feel like it touches something primal in you.

Музыка, вокал, представление просто огонь!!! 🔥🔥🔥 сколько раз уже переслушал и ловлю себя на мысли что композиции этой группы очень сильно воодушевляют!

This is a message of the elder gods, releasing European spirit from Christian bondage, as woden is want to do. We are becoming sane again, exercising the world denying desert religion from our consciousness. It is time to put nature, our people and our mother the earth first, de industrialise and re tribalise, self government and self management and most importantly self reliance.

This band just keeps getting better and better! They are awesome!!

I’ve been listening to this song every single day since it’s release. I love it.

My blood sings

Spiritually hypnotizing!! WOW!

23 and Me brought me here.

So much love for this. It speaks to me.

Being of Viking descent (Danish Viking) this music truly does make me feel connected to my ancient ancestors. Very awesome.

Simply stunning.

Perfectly timed smoke screen at the back on ~3:25. That's some epic coordination

HEILUNG is the perfect Re-incarnation from a very old Culture... AWESOME !!!

This is true art, and expression of the most amazing kind. Music that speaks to the soul, no matter where you are from. I would love nothing more than to experience this in person.

this gooos so deeply into my vane and hearth, dammmmmmm goos bumps every time again and again

These are phenomenal, omg.

Love seeing them act out the lyrics. Very cool performance.

The lyrics of the opening and ending verse are the lyrics of the first Merseburg charm: Eiris sazun idisi, sazun hera duoder; suma hapt heptidun, suma heri lezidun, suma clubodun umbi cuoniouuidi: insprinc haptbandun, inuar uigandun. The female part is taken from Grógaldr (verses 6-14) Þann gelk þér fyrstan, es kveða fjölnýtan, þann gól Rindi Rani, at of öxl skjótir, þvís þér atalt þykkir; sjalfr leið sjalfan þik. Þann gelk þér anna, ef árna skalt viljalauss á vegum, urðar-lokur haldi þér öllum megum, es þú á sinnum sér. Þann gelk þér þriðja, ef þér þjóðáar falla at fjörlotum, Horn ok Ruðr snúisk til heljar meðan, en þverri æ fyr þér. Þann gelk þér fjórða, ef þik fjándr standa görvir á galgvegi, hugr þeim hverfi til handa þér, ok snúisk til sátta sevi. Þann gelk þér fimta, ef þér fjöturr verðr borinn at boglimum, leysigaldr lætk þér fyr legg of kveðinn ok støllr þá láss af limum. en af fótum fjöturr. Þann gelk þér sétta, ef á sæ kemr meira an menn viti, logn ok lögr gangi þér í lúðr saman, ok léi þér æ friðdrjúgrar farar. Þann gelk þér sjaunda, ef þik sœkja kemr frost á fjalli háu, hræva kuldi megit þínu holdi fara ok haldisk æ lík at liðum. Þann gelk þér átta, ef þik úti nemr nótt á niflvegi, at firr megi þér til meins gera kristin dauð kona. Þann gelk þér níunda ef við hinn naddgöfga orðum skiptir jötun, máls ok manvits at mími svara sé þér gnógs of gefit. Male part is the Ægishjálmur chant: Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.

A beautiful piece of music.

Excellent thank you 🙏 new fan in the uk 🇬🇧

The light halting the women singing on the left gives her a super natural presence.

he-he) I was there...

I just love this band so much :-)

Absolutely brilliant.

Never a disappointment in the shows, or music. Well Done!

Wow, I didn't expect the stage act to give me more goosebumps than the album version.

Simply Awesomeness and Awestruck One of my Favorite Groups of all Time too Listen too

I've never heard something so special as this song..what amazing creation, this a spirit ritual....

Absolute Chiiiiiiiiiillls...... one of the most powerful bands of our time.

Beautiful

Wauw 😍👌 Glæder mig til at se jer til Copenhell ❤

Montreal show was epic!! So glad to see this theatrical show live!

What I enjoy about this music is it not only reaches and calls to my blood, it has had some impact on awakening our culture. Not the fake ass play dress up but the path to awaking and understanding and leads many to search.

Beautiful and powerful.

absolutely mesmorising stage performance ,I am hooked

I will see these beautiful people live before I die, oh yes I will see them!!!

Maria Franz!!!!

Awesome!!!

I’m so happy to see Native American folks in these comments saying how much this reminds me of their peoples’ traditional music. I’ve always had a deep respect for Native Americans, their culture, their history, their spirituality, and their respect and reverence of nature, and it’s only grown now that I’m a pagan. I would love to see #LandBack become a reality, and I think, as pagans, especially white American pagans, we should help fight for justice for Native American peoples and learn from them. Regardless of the color of our skin, our ancestral lineage, our religion, and we all share the same basic DNA and the same Earth, and, if you go back far enough, we all have the same ancestors too.

Qué poder ! Guerreros y magas desde Colombia, continente de culturas, gracias por existir y compartir la memoria ancestral !

хорошо снято, спасибо за видио!

Not really my thing but, I can't stop watching, but I can't watch because I keep staring past the screen blankly, humming a single tone, feeling the vibrations in my head, wanting to pull away from the trance; I play it again... Am I meditating? Feels soo good.

Something about this song blows my mind every time I listen to it

That was EPIC!!!

Whenever I listen to Heilung the hairs on the back of my neck rise.
