Now i understand why bards are so important in a raiding party.

This is like ancient heavy metal. Heavy bronze.

Romans: Must've been the wind. Narrator: It was not the wind.

“Babe please just use google maps…” “No. Ancient instinct shall guide me.”

As an Anglo-Saxon, I am suddenly concerned for the safety of my coastal monasteries.

Every Roman's gangsta until the forests start speaking germanic

There is a non-zero chance that an old man with one eye was in the audience, smiling quietly to himself and keeping time with his walking cane.

Discovering germanic folk metal is probably the greatest musical discovery I've come across in years.

*Everybody gangsta until the forrest starts chanting in Proto Germanic*

Romans: Did you hear something? Romans: No, it's probably nothing Nothing:

As a fat, pink-faced, pre-diabetic, American, this music really speaks to my soul. I can feel the spirit of my ancestors entering my heart and soul through my CPAP machine.

As a Roman, my timbers are shivered.

The most metal non-metal band ever.

That Berserker in the back clubbing the drums, is living the life

Emperor of Mankind: "Religion is now banned" Meanwhile on Fenris:

These are the lyrics :) Draupnir (A magic ring owned by Odin; it drips eight exact copies of itself every nine nights.)

when you can no longer scare your parents listening to marylin manson.

These live versions are better than the studio ones because the audience noise actually adds to the effect. It's like a raiding party and everyone is ecstatic and ready to fight.

I have Italian and German ancestry. My body tried to tear itself apart listening to this.

As a Mongolian, I can relate! Enough said!

Imagine them joining Eurovision

Imagine living in 9th century England and hearing this as your enemies' warcry.

We're making it to Rome with this one boys

I am not usually a fan of live music but I got to see them in concert and it was breathtaking. A small venue made it feel much more like a religious ritual than a concert.

I await the day an MMA fighter uses a Heilung tune as their entrance song. Transcendent as hell

Washing dishes never felt so epic

Imagine you had a long day of guard duty and right before you turn in for the night, you hear this coming from trees and getting louder and closer

As a Canadian, I'd like them all on my hockey team.

What do you play in the band? The shield and spear.

I want to see someone do this to karaoke in a bar.

Maria’s presence so commanding of attention even when she’s not the lead vocalist, enthralling

imagine the utter joy of being a drummer for this band. i be so happy feeling the immense power

This is one of the rare bands to sound better live than on the studio version

The Roman Legion has left the chat

This song in its entirety gives me serious chills, but I feel a different type of chill whenever they start spitting all the names for the Allfather

I'm a mountain guy from north Africa, Morocco, and this group gave me goosebumps, as never i got before, that's music touched me in my soul and communicated with my ancestors, i dont know how, but that was astonishing moment for me , i would like to be there and see it in real life 🙂

Now I know why orcs, trolls, dragons and goblins don't exist. These people ate them all.

I edited this so future comment browsers would have no idea what's being talked about.

Soy de México, escuchar estas cancion me puso la piel de gallina es asombroso escuchar este tipo de musica es impresionante y lo amo

This gave me legitimate goosebumps.

I show this to my 3 year old son and now he is my father

Something tells me security at the event wasn’t worried about people rushing the stage.

As an Irishman hailing from a town that was repeatedly pillaged by Vikings…this has stirred something primal within me. Brb gotta go grab some armour and a sword real quick

Absolutely breathtaking. Makes my ancestors in my blood come alive...

Hearing this makes me understand why the ancient Nords saw death on the battlefield as the greatest honor to achieve.

Dude meets a girl in a bar. Tells her, "I'm in a band." She's like, "Oh yeah, what do you play?" Dude's like, "I play a pre-historic Germanic barbarian, standing on stage with a spear and shield, covered in mud."

I think my favorite part about this, is how primal it is. Like, you could change it to any pre-abrehamic religion and it would have the same effect for me. Because of how utterly primal it is, you can feel the power behind every word, the veneration, the absolute strength. And the way they have it play echanances the feeling so much it’s ridiculous! God(s) this is such a good song.

When I hear Heilung, I feel the ancestors reaching through time to grip my soul and pull it back to the old ways.

As a French, I suddenly have an urgent desire to fortify the access to Paris by the river.

The Hu from the East Heilung from the North I'm glad bands like this are making great headway! As a classical music fan and heavy metal fan, this just ticks the boxes. Thank you.

This is an awesome song in honor of The Allfather, and I LOVE the certain drummer in the back, going at it with both hands, you can just tell he loves this

Old Viking warriors would get very proud if they ever watch this live

How they played this live without immediate village raids is beyond me.

Just to make it clear that isn't a fog machine, that's their music summoning nature itself

I’m Celtic but this music resonates with my soul

This feels like the musical equivalent of a huge storm, quiet at first, calm, hard to notice. But raising and raising as a cacophony of sounds and light and volume overwhelm you. It's amazing

did any of you get excited thinking "Man I have to share this song with my friends who have good taste in music." then promptly realizing you have none that could understand the genius of this.

If you feel something stirring, it’s your blood remembering the old ways. Underneath it all it’s still there.

That’s not a concert that’s a ritual lol

Being part of it is thrilling. Facing it is terrifying.

"We need an unmarried volunteer from the audience. One with no close relatives."

When people say they listen to all kinds of music I send them this then they for some odd reason stop talking to me Edit: It’s been 8 months and I still get notifications for this comment it haunts me Edit The Sequel: this comment hit 2k that’s shocking because it’s the most likes I’ve ever gotten on anything so thank you all

I love how loud the cheers from the audience are after the song. They are riled up! That energy is contagious! Can't wait to see a ritual live.

I FREAKEN LOVE YOU GUYS. I CAME TO YOUR CONCERT IN LOS ANGELES. LET ME SAY BEST DAY EVER. KEEP ON COMING. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can’t believe this group went back in time to get actual vikings for their performance. The dedication.

So these are the pagan depravities my pastor warned me about. I'm in.

Listening to their songs, especially this one and Lifa was hands down one of my best Existential Trips I've ever had while high! Right after facing my deep Rooted fears!! So freaking Powerful! RAW! 🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻😄

Five years later and I still come back to this regularly. It’s so fxkin dope

Imagine the neighbors faces when they practiced in a garage.

Imagine taking this music back in time. The Vikings would freak out like they were hearing the sounds of Valhalla itself.

We will all be singing this soon enough.

Im non denominational and this just hits differently, especially when you are masked up motivating yourself to run into this bank😂💪🪓🗡🏦

First Date, guy asks me: "what Kind of music do you like?" Me: "it's complicated!" Hegule, hegule

The sound of the ravens is just so awesome. Really brings the performance to life and makes you feel like Odin is there with them on the stage getting ready for battle.

I’m a Norse Pagan, this type of music is the closest thing I have to religious music and it is awesome

This awakened some primal part in me, i didn't even know i had

*ENGLISH TRANSLATION* “Names of the All-Father” Draupnir… (invocation of Odin's magical golden ring) Geri, Freki… (invocation of Odin’s guardian wolves) Sleipnir… (invocation of Odin’s supernatural horse) Gungnir… (invocation of Odin’s sacred spear) Hail, Hail, Hail, I dedicate to the spear! Fateful, Fateful, Fateful, I yell resoundingly!

My neighbors like to play loud music at two in the morning. This was my answer. They moved.

No matter how many times I listen to this song, it always feels like I’m listening to it for the first time 🤩

I can’t stop listening to these guys lately

Drummer in other bands: My drums are made from the best synthetic materials known to man These Guys: My drums are made from the skin, bones and tendons of my enemies

Imagine being an Anglo-saxon and hearing this come up the river through the fog....

This makes me cackle every time i hear it. I'm just envisioning a young Roman hearing this, coming from the trees. And absolutely shitting himself😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love my germanic brothers, from a lone Frank with love, HAIL ODIN

1st listen:"what is this weird shit?" 2nd listen:"it's different, and it sounds intense on my headphones" 3rd listen:"HEGULE, HEGULE!"

People: What's your favorite song? Me: ....can't pronounce it....or spell it.

As a christian. I love it.

I keep returning to this song time to time.

If this doesn't make your bones quake and the old ways stir your soul nothing will. Its primal.

2:50 That was the sickest beat drop I've ever heard, from any timeline from all of human history. Heilung is amazing.

Side note: best comment section I’ve seen in a long time.

Now I want to see Crusaders chanting all the different names of God in Latin with an epic drum backing

I started listening to this and next thing I know, I'm standing in the living room banging a vacuum extender against a trashcan lid. My wife comes home and say "WTF ARE YOU DOING?!" until the music hit her, and now she's on all fours, covered in the blood of our cat and possessed by the spirit of her ancestor. Tonight we raid the neighbors.

At 66 years of age I have at long long last found the music to my soul.

Geez, all these chills! What is this sorcery?!

Something amazing, the best concert on earth, you are amazing

So who's ready to go to war after this?

This song made me legit emotional wtf

The war song of honorable warriors echo through time like a maelstrom from the depths of my heart. I have awoken and you are not ready for what is to come.
