Nordic music from famous group Heiling

For the unaware, sold out concerts all around EU.
I've been to one and it was fukking amazing

According to Faust, the name of the band, "Heilung", which means "healing" in German, says something about the style of the band: "The listener is supposed to be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent".[4] The recordings of the band are not limited to music, but also contain poems and the spoken word.

The references to the early ages of European cultures are also made by using texts from historical artefacts or historical poems. The languages used are varied, with German, English, Gothic, Old High German, Icelandic, Latin, Old English, Proto-Norse, Proto-Germanic, and Viking age Old Norse being used.

As instruments, items are used that may have been already available to humans in the Iron Age, such as drums, bones or spears. According to an August 2018 interview, the instruments they use consist of:[13]

drums, including one with horse skin painted with human blood, two drums with deerskin and a drum with goatskin
bones, including a human forearm bone and deer bones
a buffalo horn rattle
a clay rattle with human ashes
a Hindu ritual bell
antiques from temples
a reconstructed silver cup from the Viking age
a ravanahatha (an ancient instrument used in India, Sri Lanka and surrounding areas, originating from Hela People, then brought to North India by Hanuman, then to India)
other rattles, whistles, and percussive instruments
Faust's throat singing recalls the Tibetan or Mongolian style. Juul uses a chirping whisper as vocals.

Elaborately designed costumes are worn by the band members on stage. These are partly based on the "spiritual traditions of the Eurasian circumpolar peoples", or are historically correct reproductions of Nordic Bronze Age clothing.

Its a cool type of music most people have probably never heard.


Evidently the concerts are more like spiritual events, where people go into trances and whatnot.


its not just music, its an entire "thing"

yeah but do you know about dwarf metal from Italy?

More clowny than actual good music, but that's the point of them i suppose.

Pagan noise.


You are trying to find peace, which only the one true Lord Jesus Christ can provide.
