He looks like a Shaman doing a ritual because he IS a Shaman doing a ritual.

“The sword is soft, the fire of the furnace, it hungers to be hit and have a 100 sisters in the coldest state of their existence, they mad dance the maddest in the morass of the red rain” …Jesus that’s the most bad ass way to describe making a sword ever.

I discovered Heilung by chance over a year ago on KZfaq... I found the Castlefest show... I immediately stopped what I was doing. I immediately recognized that this wasn't a "show" - this was a "Ritual". I was absolutely mesmerized & watched the entire hour long show right then & there. I cried. Nothing has moved me like that in my entire life.

This one's pretty good, but it's worth checking out their songs In Maidjan and Alfadhirhaiti live from this same show

Yea, Samuel's right, Kai actually practices a neo-independent-shamanism, so the look is more than a look

The spoken middle part is the "galdr" part of the song, which is supposed to sound like a crow. So the throat singing fits perfectly.

I feel like when the lass looks straight at the camera at 12:55, she's looking through the camera, through my screen, and into my *soul*

Thats funny because the guy with no costume comes from a shamanic heritage and he is conducting a ritual, the whole 1 hour+ performance is a ritual. From what Ive gathered is that his family wasnt never christainized and kept a lot of old information about the "old ways."

I saw these guys at a concert in the middle of the forest here in Norway. On shrooms. Man, what an experience that was. Took me places I have never been before.

That was their first live performance. It was outside. All that mist came down from the mountains. Provided by the gods, not a smoke machine. One of the most magical experiences one could have. Wish I was there....

In Maidjan and Hamrer Hippyer are amazing performances too. You shouldn’t miss them. Hail, friend.

Heilung always give me that feeling like I'm overwhelmed and I slightly forget to breathe. They are powerful as hell

It's actually older than Old Norse. What she sings comes from a Germanic text predating the Viking age by a few centuries. It is basically the pacified version of a war-chant.

The metallic clang is Christophers recording from the beginning of the video. It's a sword that's a replica of a sword find from the viking age. In this song, he records all sounds, loops them and orchestrates the entire song structure.

The metallic clanging is coming from the guy in the back right with the badger on his head. No one who has done a reaction or commented on it sure what it is he's playing back there when he's not on the central big drum. It seems to be almost like a big xylophone with triangles and bits of metal suspended above it in the shots of it we see throughout the concert.

Those are real human arm bones she uses. Alfadhirhaiti may be even more metal. In Maidjan Othan Both from LIFA live at Castlefest Norupo, official video. You already did Helvegen by Wardruna but they have many more excellent songs. See official videos by Wardruna. You may like Danheim. Anti Martikainen Paleowolf

Kvitravn (White Raven) is by Wardruna and is gorgeous. I'd love to see you react to it.

This concert is so beast, and it was their first live performance. In Maidjan, Alfadhirhaiti, fylgija ear / futhorck, and hamrer hippyer are all musts. Elivagar is my favorite piece by this group but it's not live and it's more...of an experience than it is a song.

Now this is something different... Its a spiritual experience for sure, but i have to say that when Maria starts singing i get the feeling of i guess nostalgia or sorrow.. not sure how to explain it better... maybe this song brings some yearning of the past times, i am not sure. All in all a powerful experience.

This Band grabs you deep into ur ancient soul 🤘

The old Danish lyrics say the following: The home fades. Vil launched a deadly horde upon them. The oars and mast were destroyed. Who brought? Who brought the horde to this distant land? The fishes of the streams of Firnoy. They swim adrift. From the land of bright meadows. Who brought? Who brought the horde to this distant land? I am glad that you give this extremely exceptional Nordic group a chance. I tell you a little about its history. The group, which are two boys and one girl, have Norwegian, Danish and German nationality and uses instruments such as horns of different animals, drums, human bones, rattles with human ashes, bells, stones, all to go back to the first musical compositions that They were able to interpret 1,000 years ago, in the iron age in northern Europe. All the letters are taken from carved gadgets from the era of the Nordic iron, such as arrowheads, bows, swords, rune stones and recite poems and psalms of war, peace and protection. Whereupon and for this, heilung, which means healing in German, is in close collaboration with archaeologists specializing in the field. The languages used by heilung are several. Among them are Latin, Old Danish, German and English. They were so successful with their first album that they had to release a new live album, which includes 2 new songs. Also a video of that album live and in 2019 they released their second work, futha, which is a much more feminine work. His first album, Ofnir, is much more aggressive and masculine. During the concerts some representations of how these ancient rituals of the iron age could be made. Also just finished the soundtrack of the video game Hellblade 2. I hope this review helps you to understand a bit the context of this musical group. Some curiosities. When they built the drums for the group, one of which is made from horse skin, a doctor drew blood from the three members of the group and painted the drums and some of their clothes with it. The male singer with the deep voice is a great tattoo artist and very professional. The bones the girl plays with are human bones and sometimes they have had problems in the countries of the tour to introduce them through the border from the country where the concert was held. A hug.

The trailer for hellblade 2 also features an adaption of in Maidjan and they're supposedly doing the soundtrack for the game.

For those who like Norse... Maria Franz - Songleikr: Ulvetime kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKxpoNeh3JmaZZc.html Maria is also the lead singer in Heilung..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npdypq56tZrZiYE.html

Hello from Avignon, if you like this kind of music, try : Skàld : Rùn - Niu ( a band from my country they sing in old Norrois) Songleikr : Ulvetime with Maria Franz and Christopher Juul Eivor : Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) live / or this one : falling free because this song is a masterpiece : only emotion "crescendo" ! Enjoy Take care of you :)

Saw them live in San Fran. At end of show they played a song and were dancing and natives from around my area appeared in their full regalia and danced with them. It was magical and heartbreaking

You're the first reactor that pronounced the words right. Subbing just for that. Respect.

This was certainly something very different but I also really enjoyed it, I got the same feeling as you, being transported to an ancient time, that was awesome Looking forward to more from this band Skål brother

primal music, this reaches into something most modern humans didn't know we still have.

Aaaaah Castlefest, my home away from home. It is an amazing festival and was so awesome that they choose to make it there first appearance.

I saw their ritual at The Roundhouse in London in November 2019. One of the most spiritual, life-affirming evenings I've ever experienced. When I got back out on the street afterwards, my immediate thought was "oh. I'm back in the 21st Century".

Need to react to Wardruna Lyfjaberg you will fall on the floor for this

favorite line “you only know the song of the sword”

my dad last wish was i had to listen to that, i dident know what i feel to this... but now years later i know.. i have my religion.. greetings from austria

Danheim - Hefna. Realy GOOD viking song 😍😍😍😍

The 'Clanging' is a sword being hit and played back on a loop.

You should also check this songs by Heilung: - Hamere Hippyer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrSlaamexrutcmQ.html (sung in Althochdeutsch) - Fylgija Ear kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7CmlrFllq6Xeac.html (sung in German and Old English) - In Maidjan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odOHh71ksMzSiHk.html (sung in Runic) If you want i can tell you more about the songs that I recommand.

Look, Roman... we really don't want any trouble. But if you insist, we can play our Lullaby of Obliteration for you. Damn... It must have felt like the forest came alive to fight them for these poor Roman troops.

I once went to a concert of Heilung and was on mushrooms. That was the coolest and most formative experience in my life. With or without mushrooms, everyone who is into spiritual experiences should have seen this band live!

at last! saw them london 2019, best gig/ritual i ave ever been to, othan is my favourite from this lifa show @castlefest

Thank you so much for your awesome reaction to this amazing performance 🤩🤩🥰

I subbed because of this video... Now you have to watch the whole whole çoncert now. 🤷‍♂️ Kidding aside, it truly is an awesome experience. Stay bearded, fellow brethren 🤘🏼🥂

Gotta watch the whole performance, really takes you on a trance like journey.

Have you ever been to Castlefest? This live was recorded there and I think you'd absolutely love the festival. It's spiritual, there's amazing food and even better music all around. Young and old come together to have a wonderful time for 3-4 days. There's re-enactment there's people drinking mead and beer from horns and really it's just like coming home each year to me. Really really recommend it!!

Most enjoyable again. You're my favorite reactor. Peace! (-:

LOVE This!!!!! Always gets my blood pumping

You don't have to apologize you wait until you comment. Take it all in. You deserve that witnessing something so incredible for the first time. The metallic noise you couldn't recognize would be the guy banging a fistful of bells against a metal bowl. Yeah, they're like that and that's why you have to love them.

Man, it's been 2years since you reacted to heilung, which you really liked! When can we expect another heailung reaction from you? I really loved your reactions! Here are some suggestions - Heilung - senua saga hellblad 2 theme song In maidjan - heilung Heilung - galgaldr Heilung - tenet Heilung - futhorck live

Her costume is inspired by a costume, found by archeologists, of a german female shaman.

It's such a beautiful song and magical. .it feels like our Ancestors sang this for us

Good review👍

12:56 she heard you man... and then she saw you! Didn't you feel that chill?

’Food’ for the soul 👍😀

Do more. Please. Thanks... great reaction. You're great. Keep it up.

Please do more. They are so good. I love hearing ancient languages like old high german

Have you ever heard The HU? It's a metal band from Mongolia that sing and play on traditional mongolian instruments. You should react to that because it is very interesting. I'd recommend the songs Yuve Yuve Yu or Wolf Totem.

Yeees! I love Heilung too! I like your reaction! Next please In Maidjan from the same concert. There you can hear Maria very good. And there are 2 other good bands: Wardruna and Danheim. Check them :-) Greetings from Germany

If you want more Maria Franz vocals her other band Euzen live at Castlefest songs The Stage and Metamorph are excellent

Of all the bands, (100s) I've seen this was by far the best I've ever seen live. And I saw Wardruna and Amon Amarth this past year. Heilung is by far the best performance I've ever seen.

Wow your pronounciation of Heilung was AMAZING!

ooookay... I now need to raid a british monastery

Thinking about that comment about rap. Thinking about shamans. If kinda fits that shaman would use monotone, rhytmic voices to make people go to trance? :D

They do have some electronic sequencers, loaded with samples of the genuine percussion instruments. That's what the metallic clanking you hear was. You can sometime spot some computers and electronic equipment on stage in certain shots. Doesn't take away from the performance, but they're there.

Back in ancient times a lot of songs sung by bards and shaman's was talking like as in poems

Ancient rap battles of history, Viking edition.

Since i know, you are so much interested into the viking culture i want to ask you, do you know the band wardruna? I would even wonder if the answer would be no, but i have to ask anyway.

Yes!!!! Someone else said Wardruna, I second that. I hope you have heard The Hu

You definitely need to react to "In Maidjan", too! "Norupo" is also a great one that's more "lyrical" and has a very beautiful official music video.

In Maidjan and Othan from the same show♡

You should react to Cattle Decapitation - Bring Back The Plague.

The computer was playing the nature sounds.

You should also give Alfadhirhaiti or In Maidjan out from the same concert. Heilung is amazing. More a ritual than a performance.

It's a trap for vikings! Lmao

Ah finally! Now you are introduced to a new world of music, my friend! By the way, the costums are inspired by an archaeological find of a mesolithical shaman woman in Sachsen-Anhalt in Germany. The so called shaman of Bad Dürrenberg. www.landesmuseum-vorgeschichte.de/dauerausstellung/menschenwechsel/die-schamanin-von-bad-duerrenberg.html (I know you understand German 😉) More amazing stuff by Heilung: Hakkerskaldyr LIVE Norupo [Official Music Video] Alfadhirhaiti LIVE Or try the band SKÁLD: Rún

I like your editing, I used to LOVE editing. I wonder if I should try getting back into it. I haven't used video editing software in... like 15 years or more....

Greetings from Sweden yes this band really make you want to go into the forest and live with tribe of likeminded :). Also i see you like Amon Amarth awesome :)

i bend steel for a living. i know metal when i hear it! 😉

Nightwish - Ever Dream from End of an Era album

And their music video to this song, is the most brutal shit ive seen ... even tho its just stick figures

Vikings didn't use horns on their helmets...actual bones they play on as well.

You still need to hear. Nightwish version of High hopes ?

A ritual. You we're warned!

Это вам не половником щи наяривать лежа на потолке в 3 часа ночи )

Fun fact, the drummer is drumming using a human forearm bone!

It comes across as “leave us the ‘heck’ alone and let us both live in peace or we will mess your ‘stuff’ up with extreme prejudice.

I think more accurately it means: 'War Chant-magic'

Ritual musik. I’ve been and it’s amazing! 8:00

You definitely need to check out Alfadhirhaiti by this same group

Copy pasted from a different vid but it is still relevant. This song is based on the Norwegian Runic Poem, which, as in the Icelandic Runic Poem, names all the runes of the young futhark accompanied by a stanza alluding to the name of each of the runes. There is also a third Runic Poem: the Anglo-Saxon. Runic poems are believed to have served as a mnemonic tool for remembering the names of the runes and their order in the alphabet. It is an important compilation of popular culture of the time, comparable to old English sayings, Gnomonic poetry, and Old Norse poetry. The Norwegian runic poem, written in Old Norse, has been preserved in a 17th century copy of a destroyed 13th century manuscript. This poem appears in skaldic meter. And it has the following structure: The first line of each stanza is a phrase of the following type: "name of the rune + copula + X", where X is an attribute to the name of the rune, followed by a second rhymed line that provides some information somehow related to the previous sentence. In this poem and in Icelandic, all the runes of the young futhark appear in the same order. The names of the 16 runes and their order is as follows: Fé, Úr, Þurs, Óss, Ræið, Kaun, Hagall, Nauðr, Ís, Ár, Sól, Týr, Bjarkan, Maðr, Lögr, Ýr ᚠ - Wealth causes dispute between relatives. The wolf inhabits the forest. ᚢ - All dross comes from bad iron. Reindeer often run on frozen snow. ᚦ - A troll causes disease in women. Few men find joy in misfortune. ᚬ - The end of the river is the path for most trips. And a scabbard is the fate of swords. ᚱ - It is said that riding is the worst for the horse. Reginn forged the best sword. ᚴ - The ulcer is a curse for children. Death makes a man pale. ᚼ - Hail is the coldest grain. Kristr created the world of yesteryear. ᚾ - Anguish leaves little choice. A naked man is chilled by frost. ᛁ - Ice we call a wide bridge. A blind man needs guidance. ᛅ - Abundance is a blessing to men. I say that Fróde was generous. ᛋ - The sun is the light of the world. I bow down to all that is sacred. ᛏ - Tyr is a one-handed god. Often a blacksmith must forge. ᛒ - A birch has the greenest leaves. Loki forged times of deception. ᛘ - Man is the product of dust. Strong is the claw of a hawk. ᛚ - A waterfall is a river that falls from the mountain. All treasures are gold. ᛦ - Yew is the greenest of winter trees. It tends to crunch when burned. Male voice lyrics are names and words from German, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish (still unconfirmed). Uunia runus sigurd. Fähig ani regina gunda.

Love kvitraven

Guten Abend :)

Transported 2000 years back

You should watch In Maidjen from the same show, which is a song in two parts, and they are both awsome. Or, if you like real heavy stuff, watch Alfadhirhaiti... Skol ;-)

The female singer looks like Senua from Hellblade without the dress up

You should watch the Nephicide video by Jogger, it might be the most metal video ever?

So where in scandinavia are you from?

Please try Wardruna - Kvitravn 🤟

so sad, that i probably never lunch with odin

plz react to hamrer hippyer of them

From North - Volund The Smith

King of pausing in the wrong spot two times
