I always love watching people hearing Heilung for the very first time. The only way I can describe them is "pure nostalgia to a place far away and long ago you've never been to and could never reach again". They just strike your primal side so incredibly well, it leaves you completely (me at least) entranced. Edit: Heilung has a talent for being creepy, haunting, entrancing, calming, energizing and beautiful at the same time. Funnily enough, there are 2 main reactions to Heilung. One goes: "they look and sound funny. Bunch o' weirdos" which goes for my best friend. And the other is just completely captivated by them and do not just hear music, but like you actually experience something more.

Great reaction! Heilung is a piece of nordic art. Everytime I hear their music I feel like I'm in trance. You can try "Anoana" next (in my opinion their best song), or one of their darker pieces, the live performance of "Krigsgaldr". Greetings from Germany

i hear alot of people being creeped out but it had the opposite effect for me. i felt "home" and like its healing me (which is funny cause the name heilung means healing)

Heilung lyrics.. Remember that we all are brothers All people, beasts, tree 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. We are all one.

Anoana is another great song/video from them.

Your reaction is exactly what everyone feels the first time they heard Heilung. It kind of opens your eyes to a part of us that's been missing, and it aches and feels unsettling to realize we've been incomplete this whole time.

They’re preforming magick. So Yeah it’s not just music it’s a soul tickle a deep inner primordial feeling. Their name Heilung means Healing.

Heilung is amazing. I saw them in concert last year and it was a spiritual experience. I feel them in my soul.

Translated Lyrics from Old Norse Wealth cause dispute among friends; the wolf lives in the forest Slag comes from bad iron the reindeer often races over the frozen snow. Giant causes women's sorrow; few are cheerful from misfortune River mouth is way of most journeys; but the sheath is the one of swords Riding, one says, is for horses the worst; Regin forged the best sword Ulcer is fatal for children; death makes man pale Hail is the coldest of grain; Herjan shaped the world in olden times Need leaves you little choice; the naked freeze in the frost [MALE VOICE] Ice we call the broad bridge; the blind man must be led Good year is a blessing for men; I say that Frodi was generous Sun is light of the land I bow before the holy Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir; often the smith must blow [MALE VOICE] Birch is the limb greenest with leaves; Loki brought success of deceit Man is increase of soil; mighty is the hawk's claw Water is what falls from the mountain; but of gold are the jewels Yew is the greenest tree in winter; it often singes when it burns

Another european nordic "banger": "Helvegen" by the norwegian folk band 'Wardruna" feat. (one of the most beautiful norwegian female singer) Aurora. Goosebumps guranteed! And check out all of Aurora's solo-vids. Lovid😍

Great Reaction! 🙂👌 This Band "Heilung" (Means Healing in German) is a Norwegian/Danish/German Proto-Germanic Folk Band. Don't get confused with the Germanic designation, Germanic includes the Scandinavian Area + West and East Germanic Area from Sweden, Norway and Danmark down to Germany, Netherland, England, Poland to Austria and Switzerland. Back then we shared all the same Pagan Religion, and that's what this music is about - Old Germanic/Pagan Folklore, it is sung in proto-Norse, German, Gothic and Latin. sorry for the long explanation 🙂

that's why "Norupo" is one of my favorites, on the one hand it's relaxing and calming, but on the other hand it is unsettling.

I think I could be content to sit by a small cabin in the woods and listen to this as the sun filters through the leaves and the shadows flit around.

Heilungs Concerts are a Ritual touching our Souls by our Anchestors. It's no song... it's magic

Heilung: Lifa Live - the whole concert is available. But Krigsgaldr, Alfadhirhaiti, Othan to name but a few. Then once you've seen all of LIFA try Anoana.

heilung is a rabbit hole worth diving head first into, their castlefest concert footage is amazing

They have a version of "Nikkal" which is like a 3000+ old song from ancient Syria. It's amazing

Heilung are just .... There aren't even any words ! It's such an emotional experience and takes you right back to your roots. You can feel it through every inch of your body. I absolutely adore them and can't wait to see them live 😍🖤 Great reaction also ^^

Hi-lung means healing in old Norse and their music and performance are Kai's shamanic tools to heal people. I'm pretty much obsessed with them lol because I happened to find them while on an extremely intense mushroom journey and it was fucking amazing bro.

Interesting piece. While it feels almost like a ritual the lyrics are an Old Norwegian rune poem, a mnemonic like an ancient ABC-song 🙂

Missed this, somehow, when you released this a couple of days ago. I just found Heilung myself, a couple of weeks ago. It's fascinating to me and I find myself going back to listen to more from this group, time and again.

Heilung is.... Special, but Maria has an absolute gorgeous voice

I had a Routine during the Norwegian winter to listen to this song when doing ice baths. When the vocal started i had to be fully submerged, and i did not allow myself to go up from the water until the song was done. Real powerful experience and stress reducer.

Yeeesss, Heilung is one of my favorite bands! I highly recommend checking out their song "Tenet". Without giving a long-winded explanation here, just look up some info about the song. These guys are musical geniuses. If you want something that goes hard from them, "Hamrer Hippyer" will get you ready to go into battle (even though it's a healing song, to my understanding.) The live version has crazy amounts of energy!

Yay! Another favorite of mine! Nothing like Heilung and Wardruna to ground you to nature and your ancestors :D That heavy, uneasy feeling is kind of addictive imo. It makes you feel small and unimportant in the grand scope of history and humanity, but at the same time kind of awestruck and venerating. There is a swedish word that kind of desribes this feeling - "ödesmättad". It roughly translates to "fate saturated" or "fate/history heavy" but with a kind of dark, unevitable connotation. Krigsgaldr is another great song! And "Helvegen" with Wardruna feat Aurora. The closest to a pronounciation guide to Heilung I can do is "Hei" sounds like "Hi" and the u i "lung" sound like the o in "womb", but short! :)

When the blood memory kicks in

Heilung call themselves, as a genre, Amplified History, which i find very fitting

I don't know how I missed your reaction, but it was great! I love these guys. Maria is an amazing vocalist and I hope you get a chance to see one of their live performances. Thanks!

thing is about this song, if you have any Norse blood in you it reaches in and pulls it out

From what I have read, Heilung translates as "healing". Whether they tell a cautionary tale, or a story from ages long before, the intent of the music is to heal, to grow. (before I talked about a lot of the things I was/am [engineer/dentist]) I've also have a life long passion for playing acoustic music in a very primitive format.. early on, it was playing Trad Irish (even got to play with a couple members of The Bothy Band in a Portland Irish pub jam). In college years, my roommate when to the Museum Art School in PDX and our rented house became a place for musical gatherings (no, not a single Djembe was played) with probably 20 or more musicians... loads of percussion, flutes, primitive reeds. We even had a harpischord (storing for my sister). At one time, we counter 118 strings hanging on the wall. We had a piper come in once...inside...not for the faint of heart! It was a primorial ooze of sound. I made clay-pot bells and we had stringed-things that we played, without knowing anything about them, like a tagelharpa. 2 years there, and we never came up with anything as simple and beautiful as this. Please sir. May I have some more? btw, I am something of an amateur mycologist and those shrooms were neither Amanita muscaria nor Psilocybe semilanceata (both claimed to be used by Norse for 'that' experience). 40+ years of ID'ing mushrooms in the PNW... and I've got P. semilanceata growing in my Shetland Sheeps' pastures. Probably P. cubensis from the scale pattern... the color seems a bit light, but that could be a regional difference. But ever since I was 19, I've stuck to the chanterelles and morels and edible boletes. I do better when my vision is not enhanced

Their music is an experience, it sparks and stirs things deep inside. I was lucky enough to see them live! THAT is an entirely different experience!

This is the one I was thinking of. I can feel it in my solar plexus. What an experience

Cosmic, you NEED to go to a Heilung concert, i know i've written this before, but, you must, whenever you have the opportunity, thank you for what you do, thank you for this channel, thank you for being yourself, you know what i mean, most people are just scared to talk from the soul, to open themselves, they consider such things as weakness, you know exactly what i mean, so thank you man, keep being yourself

What you felt was the heartbeat and spirit of our ancestors. It’s the vibe of the unity of earth, nature, animals and humans.

An ancient spirit just entered your body.

Heilung means healing and their music really does reach me at a core and spiritual level and has helped me get through and heal through some pretty traumatic shit.

Welcome to the tribe.

good questions nice reflecton enjoy the ride

Spirit mind heart transcend when you listen closely to norupo

Its a beautiful thing when one not only experiences Heilung, but has been blessed by the Great Mother to FEEL Heilung! Sorry man you have been revived that feeling is you DNA, your blood coming alive again being touch by the north winds. Your life will not be the same again. Dont be bothered if 6 months from now your picking up new hobbies and wanting to be outside in nature more. The Great Mother speaks through several people you will now encounter, you been set upon a path, its your choice to take the step.

It’s indeed intense to feel our blood and our soul remembering, isn’t it ? 😊

Yes, they are Shamans and Witches. The runic stones and symbols into the ground , too, and about making a magic circle. They put a spell on us. It's beautiful.

I love their music. It’s like Iron Age Germanic spiritualist music. I feel like they are my connection to my ancient heritage.

Heilung is amazing. There are no words really to describe the emotions that their music creates in your heart and soul. You should listen to Wardrunas Kvitravn (White Raven) and Lyfjaberg (Healing-mountain). They were my introduction to Scandinavian music. Very in tuned with nature and very spiritual. There is something very ancient in their sound.

I have a hard time listening to Heilung. Any of their songs. I however have a viscerally emotional response to them. Every, single, time. Best I can explain is that it spiritually hurts. Like my soul feels like its listening to something that was ripped from it eons ago. Like a memory you forgot but out of no where comes back like it happened 10 minutes ago. Even with all that said I listen to them daily. I feel like I need to.

Welcome Home. This healing music is calling to a deep, core of all of us. Skal!!

You should try "Anoana" from Heilung. They keep perfecting their sound and their imagery

You didn't just listen to music. It is magik everytime they play. It's real.

Lol, they feel more like a group of tribal elders who’ve been pulled into the modern era than merely a band of musicians 😂

Don't feel bad about not feeling like you listened to music, but "experienced something." The origin of music and dance dates back to Neolithic days where music and dance were part of spiritual rituals. The whole purpose and vide is to make the listener experience a spiritual awakening. In some cultures, Hallucinogens were used to enhance this. Viking culture went as far as using drugs to embark on both spiritual journeys and prepare themselves for war, as both are one in the same. You experienced Viking spirituality at it's finest. That's one of the reasons I love this band.

Live ritual music! Ancient and spiritual! It goes deep within our primal soul!

This is the account of what the runes means like " ᚱ ᚱ (r) Ræið kveða rossom væsta; Reginn sló sværðet bæzta." In english that would be something like " Riding is the worst for horses, Regin made the best swords."

This is the old norse rune poem in song

Heilung ('HI-LUNG') refers to their music as "Amplified History"....... The name means 'healing'.......Maria Franz performs like a pagan shaman and is just magnificent, as are all the members.........p.s., love the Rune stones which are authentic on location in France......the ritual emulates the movement depicted on those stones

Heilung has been helping me find my way through a very difficult time for months. Maria's voice surrounds me with a warm environment, the music takes me to unknown places.

It's a poem to learn the runes with an image for each, and they form the runes with gestures. I've been to two rituals in the northeast US, perhaps fittingly the last adventure before the pandemic lockdown and the first crowd event I attended since, last year.

5:24 funny you say that, I heard it front, back, left, right, their sound just surrounded my entire mind

I love that you started with my 2 favorites - you definitely need to check out the live of 'In Maidjan'. Heilung is absolutely just an experience, it's more than music. They filmed Narupo at real ancient standing stones :) I look forward to seeing you check out more of them. I'm also here for Dreamcatcher, what a wild time genre hopping. 😂🤣😂

You connected to your soul codes and ancestors💖!

Loved your reaction :D Yeah it is very tribal and real. Old words resonnating through excellent artists and musicians. I dont feel creeped out, I feel more "connected" to my ancestors in a strange way. I love it! It gives me strength. It is new, but at the same time VERY old.

I am an absolute music fan and enjoy listening to Springsteen as much as Tool, Sepultura or Mozart but Heilung is somehow unique. The music has something mystical if not hypnotic about it. You literally fall into the songs even though you don't understand the lyrics. plus the amazing videos and on stage they are in a class of their own anyway. overwhelming for the eyes, ears and soul.

Aaaah finally you got into this amazing band! Saw them in France last december, going to see them again in a few days!! You only have to go and see them live for yourself mate... You. Just. HAVE TO.

Oh, your path is again at a crossroad : in this type of music, exploring Wardruna can be a real pleasure, and more recently I discover Faun.

Your expression when Ms. Maria began to sing was worth watching a new channel. Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend...

I don't know much about them... but I thought someone was about to time-travel like Outlander! No, seriously, I grew up every summer on the pow wow circuit. I was too shy to dance but wore my regalia and sat by my brother, who played 49 w a drum circle. Thats the feeling I get from this band, every song I hear. I can't think of the chord progression, but they played something that is supposed to make you feel weird... this band is worth each experience w them... it's mind opening!

The concerts are a whole nother experience 🪄🧙🎑🔮🧝🪶🧚🌳 Heilung means healing and thats what happens to you when you come from there!

Searching for faster, harder, louder, European metalheads have landed here. Kai-Uwe Faust is a self-confessed death metal fan and they also release on a metal label. Wadruna makes similar music and their vocalist was a death metal drummer before. The subgenre is called Nordic Ritual Folk. Keep in mind that there are no traditional rituals in Europe. The clothing is inspired by indigenous peoples who still exist today. I miss metallic jewelry. The Germanic tribes did not only make axes and swords. However, the role models for the costumes do not know any metal production.

Heilung is amazing! Their music is magickal! You should feel something because it means you're connecting to it.

This is pure beauty

that...was magic ;)

Maria Franz is astonishing. Beautiful in every aspect.

Heilung music is an experience like no other. It connects with that deep spiritual and primal part of you from long ago ages. It's hard to explain. It is very trance like.

Your reaction was honest and genuine and I really love and appreciate that! I hope that I will get to see you react to one of my favorites of theirs: Anoana❤

Welcome! I love seeing your reaction, it reminds me of my first time experiencing Heilung

One of the better responses to Heilung. After I saw Othan by these guys and wondered if I had just worshipped something I shouldn't have.

You were feeling uneasy because your ancient inner soul was being awakened...I had the same experience the first time I listeneed to them.

It's spiritual music 🧘🏽

It wasn't just music - it was a ceremony. That's what you're feeling, you just went to church.

Welcome home, Brother!

I just saw them live. It was an experience not just a concert!

You’re feeling your ancestors, brother

My favorite band. So original. Saw them in Norway at the Midgardsblot festival where they were nothing less than brilliant. If you haven't done so already, check out their first stage performance from Castlefest (2017) to get an idea of why their live act is so compelling. Good reaction.

Welcome to the old world of Heilung, whose name means "healing." I hope you continue this journey. I'd suggest this one for your next. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odOHh71ksMzSiHk.html&ab_channel=Heilung. It's called "In Maidjan." It's from a live show. You'll like it.

I love Heilung. As a Germanic pagan, I felt extremely validated, as everything I heard and saw from them seemed to line up spiritually with how I had always felt and believed. That's my personal experience with them. What they do, though, is open (or reopen) a primal part of our souls that we aren't used to experiencing or exploring in our polite society. That can be a be a bit uncomfortable. It's their way of helping us to get back to the core of it all...

You should watch their live concert Lifa. Even live they are a full experience and they are absolutely amazing on so many levels.

i went to a concert of heilung, they, heilung which means healing in german, they don't call them concerts, they call them rituals

they make you long for a far away past, that you never have experienced, but none the less feel inside ouf you..

Definitely look/listen to Anoana.

Your feelings are normal with this. The old in our blood knows what it was. Listen to more of them and you will feel more

Not sure if you will ever see this. But The Charismatic Voice did an lovely interview with the female singer. I suggest you check that out. Maybe not to a reaction to it unless you want to do a long video reaction lol. But she is out of uniform and makeup. Hint... Redhead and beautiful hehe.

This is music where if you get high and listen to this you're going for a journey. One of the few bands that I've seen where the music alone is good but the vocals accentuate the music. Even in rock and metal the vocals are kinda just there, whether they're good or bad is besides the point. These vocals just add another layer of sound reverberating through your mind as you listen to the song.

Probably what happened to me first time i connected really. I lost like 4 hours sitting in a perfect circle of trees all i can remember was feeliong positive wibes.

Heilung pronounced: High-lung. You should also react to their songs Anoana and Krigsgaldr

You should try listening to the female vocalist's other band, Euzen. They're much more pop-sounding but still extremely digestible because of her great range.

If you have Europe blood in your veins it’s your ancestors calling.

In Madjan, Krigsgraldr, and anoana are all great songs to listen to! Heilung is an incredible experience

Maria Franz is the priestess. Kai is the shaman. Try the video for Anoana. It will show who she is. That video brimgs her nature in sharp focus. The geoup is "High- Ling." It means healing.

I haven't eaten mushrooms in years but I am tripping now. Wow!

Your reaction is another proof that Animism is more close to human race that monoteism. Glad you liked it.

What you "experienced" is actual ceremonial pagan magick. Hail The Old Gods!
