Heilung
The enigmatic world music collective, made up of members from Denmark, Norway, and Germany, return with their signature amplified folk based on texts and runic inscriptions from Germanic peoples of the Iron Age, and Viking Age.
The mysterious ensemble's primeval musique concrete blends ancient Germanic tongues, lush geophonic recordings (crackling fires, breaking ice), and the percussive thunder of archaic weaponry (swords, shields, arrows) into a reverential ceremonial experience.
"It’s a journey, applying ancient texts and poetry to tribal drums, horns and throat-singing to create an immersive experience." – Kerrang!
Heilung means ‘healing’ in the German language and this also describes the core of the band’s sound. The listener is supposed to be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent.
