Norwegian here, I have met the female vocalist Maria a few times and can probably shed some light: This song is composed of the female lyrics, which are from the Eggja stone found in Norway, inscribed around the time of the fall of the Roman empire, and the english parts are the bands interpretation of the runes on that stone. It's a story of being forced into a conflict you don't want, but also determination to make damn sure you win that conflict. And also, Wardruna - Helvegen. Find a video with english lyrics as well, so you understand. There's power in music like this. And then Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik - Kvervandi. All of this music is expressing the original, north european/nordic culture, the spiritual beliefs and convictions of the Goths, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Langobardi, Vandals, The Rus and all the other people who shared a common language and similiar belief system before Empire came disguised as Christianity.
Yeah the lyrics show us how Innocent OUR people were, how pure we once were in Nature. They're in the forest and danger is coming downstream. Life was do or don't do back then. Arise and DO SOMETHING!
Exactly this. I can't wait to see them live again. A spiritual experience for sure. If you haven't heard their new music, you should listen to Norupo. Amazing new track
Per wiki: Heilung is an experimental folk band of members from Denmark, Norway, and Germany.[1] They do music based on texts of original artifacts from the Iron Age and the Viking Age. They describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern Europe".[Heilung means "healing" in German. Heilung is under contract at the label Season of Mist.
Randy White excellent research Randy, much appreciated man! I will pass it down along the messages to whose who are asking. Thanks for playing along with us!!!
It's pre-Christian, European ritual adaptations. Very magic oriented, very religious. These guys are really awesome. If you get the chance you should watch the whole show, it's on TH-cam. It's mesmerising.
I saw them on TH-cam for the first time about three months ago and now I can throatsing like a pro! No joke. I’ve also made a few cow horns and a bukkehorn. Now to chop into the cottonwood tree that fell in my backyard and make a good drum frame.

@@DaveJudd I'll add to this and say that the word "Pagan" is a term made by Christians and later, as far as I know, adopted by Muslims to gatekeep who was considered part of a "main" religion and who wasn't. It's honestly kind of insulting. - From a Dane who was part of, and married in the Danish Asetro community.
The fact they have created metal in its purest form without even a guitar is amazing, this whole concert is epic. You two are just scratching the surface of what's out there and absolutely worth listening to. Riverside, Heilung, and Amorphis today for starters. I look forward to the journey with you two.
I wouldn't call this metal, but I could see where a band could derive influence from them or the cultural aspects. I'm pretty sure that's exactly where black metal got its influence, from earlier folk groups that used similar sounds.
this is a long way off from metal friend....This is Traditional Nordic chants!! all the lyrics come from old Norse Runes found in the mountains....Read up on Heilung...they are traditionally amazing!!
@@jamesbaird1149 I am well aware of the genre. Do you understand hyperbole? When someone says "nature is so metal" do they mean plants and animals are running around playing blast beats and power chords? No, it's hyperbole. For the record it's Proto-Germanic, not Nordic.
More specifically they're a German group. Heilung meaning Healing in English. They want us to reconnect with our ancestral ways from before Christianity and modern culture tried to erase that. It's somewhere between Pagan and Shamanistic music.
@@mormacil One of the members are German. They also take their name from German. Heilung means healing, and that´s kind of what they want the audience to experience. However, they are based in Denmark, their other two main members being Danish and Norwegian.
Also the music of indigenous central/northern Europeans and the roots of the metal music you love. Their songs are in old Norse, old English, High German, and modern German. If I missed any languages please add to the list.
@@mormacil all Catholic festivities fall on pagan ones, Christmas on roman dies sol invictus (the undefeated sun ) , Easter to and so on, only the carnival is true to is origin , but this were time were we massively killed each others
The 'rap'like duel: What am I supposed to do If I want to talk about peace and understanding But you only understand the language of the sword What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall But you only understand the language of the sword What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace But you only understand the language of the sword I let the blade do the talking... So my tongue shall become iron And my words the mighty roar of war Revealing my divine anger´s arrow shall strike All action for the good of all I see my reflection in your eyes But my new age has just begun The sword is soft In the fire of the furnace It hungers to be hit And wants to have a hundred sisters In the coldest state of their existence They may dance the maddest In the morass of the red rain Beloved brother enemy I sing my sword song for you The lullaby of obliteration So I can wake up with a smile And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart Coexistence, Conflict, combat Devastation, regeneration, transformation That is the best I can do for you I see a grey gloom on the horizon That promises a powerful sun to rise To melt away all moons It will make the old fires of purification Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers
That "rap" duel wasnt rap at all. Its chanting. Allegedly the Germanic peoples of antiquity would often "sing" in a manner similar to this, particularly at the height of a ceremony when the psychoactives kicked in. Its one of the primary reasons the Romans and many other foreigners who met these people thought they were either possessed by demons, half animal(The word "Barbarian" supposedly has some root in the meaning "men who wear the skins of animals") or just batshit crazy, and its one of the reasons the Romans were afraid of them.
Great Reaction!!! Please do more Heilung... they are a German-Norway band and they sing in old Germanic language... Maria is a great singer please please please react more to Heilung!!!
FYI, they're somewhat more than just German and Norwegian. Danish musicians are also part of the experience. The language is proto norse. A late germanic dialect hailing from the late iron age to the early viking age. Which is by far, an almost completely dead language. It has zero resemblance with modern day Scandinavian or German languages. There is only one place left where a language similar to this exists. Iceland.
@@dbblicher they also sing in different languages on their new album. I've heard Old Norse, old High German, a low German dialect, probably Icelandic as well but not sure about that
I second Wardruna (Also they were actually on the Vikings soundtrack and Einar Selvik had a cameo). Seen them live twice now and it's like being transported to another time. Besides Helvegen you may also want to check the recently uploaded version of Rotlaust Tre Fell or Einar Selvik's solo version of Voluspá.
Wardruna was started by a couple guys from a black metal band( not in your wheel house, nor mine), but this kicked off a lot of other bands ( like this one)getting attention...and Wardruna has been prominently featured in Vikings....
@@tonyhacker5980 Crying over it is weak and not its intended purpose, this is a song of strength. Same words as the Hakkerskaldyr, which is a call to arms. My warband march to these words in formation as an intimidation tactic.
Sir William Perhaps she cries tears of joy for hearing what her ancestors did long, long ago. A connection resonating on a level of genetic memory. Like hearing ones ancestors call to you. I had some pretty intense experiences listening to this too, always do, though I’ve never cried listening to it.
Heilung was the last 'concert' we were able to attend before Covid lockdown. I can only say that it was a High Magick Ritual disguised as entertainment. We literally felt them drawing our energy onto the stage then amplifying it before returning it back to us. We were so amped after this ended that instead of a taxi we walked 5 miles through Chicago to our hotel. So glad that we got the chance!
I first saw the Heilung video a few weeks ago and was immediately transfixed. The music has a visceral affect and then factor in the visual appearance of the performers. I found myself transported to a smoke filled building in the midst of a Goddess ritual. I am pagan so that probably helped. :) If you go to the video's page itself there are some excellent comments with info on the probable sources/origins of the music. There are translations of the lyrics and historical information about music like this that has survived centuries. All that discovery the result of seeing the video in You Tube's "recomended for you" algorithm.

Everybody connects this to Vikings at first, because it contains a lot of that "norse" spirit and the Vikings are like the pop stars. But I would rather sort it as native european or Germanic. Before the Roman Empire came and changed everything. Including the spirituality of the continent. The Vikings where the last line of defense against that "Western" spirit. Ancient music, older than Christianity even and native, not imported. I think it´s the drums that speak to something old in us. It´s like a heathen ceremony. And I love it :D To make a little more sense of that particular song, I dare you to watch the official video. th-cam.com/video/K7ZqZVunCb4/w-d-xo.html
They basically cover northern europe (so from modern day Germany and upwards) from before the viking age and into the viking age. So it's a whole mess of influences from the tribal period of northern Europe. It's not just Germanic and proto Scandinavian either, there's influences from the Lap's and the Rus, the Celts, all sorts of stuff from this period.
I loved that you reacted to this. I never would have expected this. The group pays tribute to their pagan roots. They are a peaceful group but are preparing for conflict with another warming tribe. It’s definitely different but I really liked it when I saw it. Enjoy the experience! Side note: The female vocalist is classically trained and has done many other things.
Please try "Hamrer Hippyer" at Lifa from Heilung. Its a very long song but it is sooo great. It sounds like You will summon demons, but is based on a healing chant in old high German from the 9th or 10th century called "Merseburg Charms" The more You hear it , the more You will be addicted :)
11:23 that head shake and blink describes things more than a 1000 words. This song and Heilung in general really puts you in a trance and when you exit it's like you're just waking up.
It’s a very dronic, ritualistic shamanic experience.. When you listen to the whole concert, you will feel the whole ritualistic experience.. it’s Northern European (Scandinavian-Germanic)
Saw an sjw on another reaction hating on the group for "appropriating native american culture" i chuckled... calling out people on racial bias and cultural erasure meanwhile forgetting that the "original" european culture got wiped out by the romans who adopted their religion from the first christian who came from the middle east...not to mention the inspiration for this is from the iron age meaning it's as old if not older then most of native american culture... ...the other channel called it out pretty well white people trying to connect to their actual roots tend to get bashed for it since that scene unluckily tends to attract a lot of the more extreme fans of the white supremacy / racist / nationalist ideology as well...
@@ricchansan Just retort with "In your opinion they are 'Racist' You're just saying that cause they're WHITE. Anti-Racist is just a codeword for Anti-White!!"
the name is german and means healing and they sing in pre-norsk, norwegian, english and german as i know and they use often old rune poems or texts from the pre to vikings time. all of there songs are meant to bring heeling and peace and their message is that all humans on earth are brothers. their members are norwegian, german and danish i think. their live shows are telling a kind of story. this song for example: the singing part is from an old text and as i know it is about odin healing the broken leg of an horse. the spoken part is about someone starting a fight with someone who never wanted war and rather wants to live in peace but the enemy only understands the language of the sword. very powerful in my opinion
I loved watching you guys sink into the music of Heilung! I've been a fan of them for a while, as well as groups like Wardruna and Danheim! This was the first video of yours I've come across and I loved it! Keep up the awesome content, you guys are so cute!
Sooo Castlefest is a renaissance fair/cosplay/music event in Holland. And Heilung is a side project of two members of the band Euzen and their friend a poet/tattoo artist. Significantly heilung means healing in German and that is what this is supposed to be; we're in a forest in the summer listening to music, eating food, performing a ritual burning of the wickerman enjoying being with friends. Then everyone quiets down and sits on the floor. It's gone dark, the birds you hear are actual birds in the trees, fires are burning all around and then this "music" happens and keeps happening. After 5 minutes or 5 hours (I'm not really sure) you wake up from this trance and you feel moved. This is not supposed to be pretty or light or easy, it's primal.
Ok, so Heilung is a German word, which means healing. The band itself is an international band with members from Denmark, Norway & Germany. They chose that name because "The listener is supposed to be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent". Heilung brings music based on artefacts dating from the Norhern European Iron Age and Viking age. They call the music "amplified history". The chorus of Krigsgaldr is based on a poem from a gravestone found in Norway in 1917, so it's old Norse. But because the poem is only partially preserved, they made a phonetical version of the 2nd panel (they found 3 on the site). Researchers think it's related to a funeral. The poem should ensure safe passage to the afterlife.
This whole concert is a RITUAL. I don't know if you all knew that but, yes. It's a ritual to our ancestors, gods,etc. The whole concert,. 😉 Little trivia quiz.
This band is *AMAZING* They use various Germanic languages including German, Porto-German, Old English, Old Norse, Modern English, and maybe one or two others. Could you guy watch and breakdown their song “alfadhirhaiti”??? (Names of the Allfather). Allfather being Odin or Wotan.
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 10,000 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 this year 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. I recommend this video of her concert.
You're about 8000 years off... and for some of their songs even 9000. They are inspired by the Norse and proto-Germanic era, so we're talking about approx 500-1300 AD
I love how you said in the beginning that you'd watch a little bit then talk about it -- but ended up going into a trance and listening to the entire thing. Heilung doesn't have fans, they have a tribe. Between them and Wardruna... we welcome you.
#PainInTheAsk Please react to *Dead Can Dance - 'Rakim'* . They are a similar style band but with a world music feel. The lead female singer of this band is famous for adding her vocals to movie soundtracks, most famously "Now We are Free" from the Gladiator soundtrack. The Hammered Dulcimer played at the beginning of the track is also played by the female vocalist, Lisa Gerrard. One of my favorite bands, always spine tingling.
Krigsgaldr is but one section of what is for me a very spiritual journey, and to get the full effect you really do need to shut yourself off from the world and listen to the whole of the LIFA concert. Heilung's music is all about feeling, it will take you to very uncomfortable places at times, but will ultimately leave you at peace, and will stay with you long after the last drum beat stops resonating.
I like how you listen to the music/experience and do not pause the video performance to put your self absorbency into someone else’s art to form and give you opinion at the end like a any adult should. Than you
I know I'm coming into this late, but you can see the entire Heilung appearance at Castlefest if you go to the Heilung YT channel and find "Lifa". No, their next set after Krigsgaldr was not Brittany Spears. Many of the members of the group were/are members of Euzen, who have also made incredible music.
North. Does the Tree forget its roots? Do the roots dream of a canopy? We are disconnected and rearranged. Remember the struggle of your arm. Remember the mountain. Red on white.
When y'all both have the time in your own time you should check out this whole show, it's beyond words! Unless y'all decide to save the experience of other songs from this show for more first reactions which is also awesome.
I am not European or white but this definitely is universal kind of music. It speaks to the primal part of the soul no matter where you are descended from
Just for your info, Heilung will announce the tour dates for their upcoming North American tour next week. We will see them in a few weeks in Munich, that will be breathtaking...
I listen to this full concert when I'm in the mountains. It's more primal than modern music. Another one from that very same concert is Heilung Alfadhirhaiti. It's more intense. I read this band tries to use as much of the old Germanic poetry as they can.
Wow you guys are way off the beaten path! I love this band, and they are planning to come to the US! The costumes of the two main singers were very Siberian Shaman. And you saw the obvious Viking motif. The music is very Germanic (Early northern Europe and Scandinavia) and Scandinavian inspired, mostly pre Viking times. It's a reminder that we ALL have roots in traditional, tribal, hunter gatherer, animistic, pagan culture. Kings, dynasties, religions, empires have routed humanities course away from nature and each other, and our deep connection with all that is the universe. The vibe of the music is very healing combined with some agression, perhaps with a dire message for humanity. Change course or face the consequence.
The lyrics to this song are one of the possible readings of the runes on the Eggja Stone; a 7th Century gravestone found in Norway in 1917. There are several competing interpretations of the carvings but it's generally accepted that they describe some kind of warding for the grave and a funeral ritual. You should definitely check out "Fylgija Ear / Futhorck", the lyrics for which are the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, and "Hamrer Hippyer", the lyrics for which come from an magic spell in a text called the Second Merseburg Charm, in which Odin heals Baldr's horse's leg with the spell. The Merseburg Charms were discovered in 1841 among the pages of a religious manuscript from the 8th Century and are the only written record of germanic paganism written in Old High German.
Have you listened to Alfadhirhaiti yet? It is my favorite by them, it gives me goosebumps and makes me cry when I watch it. (I have to watch the concert footage when I listen)
it's probably proto Norse it was spoken around the first centery AD to the sixth centery AD it's super interesting the name of the krigsgaldr means something like "war magic"
Heilung should not be reacted to, it should be experienced to...got a Colorado date lined up, bought my tickets already...it's in 2021, so we shall see...
The first time I heard this Heilung's song I was like wtf… and then I listened to it again and again and I was hooked. Most of their songs are in proto-Norse or Old English. This one is mostly Old English. Their 2nd album will be released on June 28. I love Maria Franz's voice.
The people of the Germanic, Danes, Finns, Sweds, Norwegians (Vikings). Their whole mantra was leave me be and we will not destroy you, your families, towns and way of life. They were violent but in a pure way, you didn't have to guess what would happen if you attack them. Also if they knew you were weak they would just destroy you and take what you had. You should also listen to Wardruna a band with similar styles
The influences precede viking times and are also heavily tied into mainland Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, northern France) and even the UK. So, proto-Germanic, like others said, is pretty precise. That does still include Old Norse elements like the Allfather, or Odin/Wodan (fun fact, Odin, Thor and Freyja can be found in "Wednesday"/"Thursday"/"Friday", just to show you how proto-Germanic share the same root with the English we speak today). Some members are prominent and well-known folk artists in Europe, but here they have banded together to do this incredibly unique thing. The music is European (nothing Indian there, I think), but do borrow heavily from Eastern/Indo European styles. One of the singers always wears a Mongolian shaman garb and also performs some throat singing techniques. It is thought that the old Norse also included throat singing, as vikings eventually emerged even into Asia to trade and picked up some habits along the way. Sorry to go off on a tangent here :) Pretty cool that you do this. If you're in the mood for some more, I heavily recommend: - Wardruna, also heard in "Vikings", except for the intro song, that's Fever Ray - Corvus Corax - Skàld - Danheim (viking trance music, I swear) - Garmarna - Eivor, also heard in "The Last Kingdom" I swear, some of this music tickles my third eye, or something.
This deserves a special recommendation: Everyone keeps referring to Wardruna and so did I. They collaborated with the show Vikings and drew inspiration or even used Wardruna's songs. Some are produced for this show, with a symphony, like this one: th-cam.com/video/aqhhlmz6gik/w-d-xo.html Never seen anything like this. At the end, when everything dies down, it is as if all of their souls slowly sink back into their bodies, from the cosmos.
I was there 😃 (Castlefest) is an Dutch fantasy festival where you can be whoever the Fuck you wanted to be dont get judge on your appearance one big happy family❤. It's a 3 days festival with for camping guests on Thursday evening always an extra (openings concert) its an old language pro Germanic the band name Heilung (means healing)
The name "Heilung" is a german word and means "healing" in english. The word "Krigsgaldr" means "war money" in english. I do not think that this has much to do with vikings but more or less the culture in northern an central europe a long time ago.
Right On! Most of the more accomplished musicians listen to a variety of different music genres, even if they don't play them, because they know that there is always more to learn.
I'M so glad you guy's watched the sounds produced by hitting a a hand full of mussel shells on metal along with other iron age instruments..............OH WAIT ! YOU CANT' SEE SQUAT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran across their music by accident. I am not easily impressed, but their performance totally blew me away. Not since Dark Side of the Moon came out have I been so taken. The creativity, the settings on stage, the period type instruments, not to mention them singing/chanting in perhaps languages that they do not speak.....amazing. I am hooked and have been digging thru all of their work and the translations, which makes it even MORE interesting. Where to play this??? Anywhere you want!! Around a bonfire would be ideal. Caution: some Christians might squeal "its of the Devil" and run.

The whole Concert is pure Magic
Well, Krigsgaldr means war magic!
They are rituals not a concert
@@JusticeGamingNY It is magic.
Like, literal magic.
Yes!!
Norwegian here, I have met the female vocalist Maria a few times and can probably shed some light: This song is composed of the female lyrics, which are from the Eggja stone found in Norway, inscribed around the time of the fall of the Roman empire, and the english parts are the bands interpretation of the runes on that stone. It's a story of being forced into a conflict you don't want, but also determination to make damn sure you win that conflict.
And also, Wardruna - Helvegen. Find a video with english lyrics as well, so you understand. There's power in music like this. And then Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik - Kvervandi. All of this music is expressing the original, north european/nordic culture, the spiritual beliefs and convictions of the Goths, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Langobardi, Vandals, The Rus and all the other people who shared a common language and similiar belief system before Empire came disguised as Christianity.

Thanks
Aye
You've met Maria Franz well aint you lucky
Yeah the lyrics show us how Innocent OUR people were, how pure we once were in Nature. They're in the forest and danger is coming downstream. Life was do or don't do back then. Arise and DO SOMETHING!
I saw Heilung live and I can't even begin to describe what happens when you're in front of stage when they do their ritual.
Exactly this. I can't wait to see them live again. A spiritual experience for sure.
If you haven't heard their new music, you should listen to Norupo. Amazing new track
I am beyond envious!
It’s a life changing experience for sure, I’m still under the spell 🦌
We saw them in Leiria (Portugal) in an old theatre. Our minds exploded.
I am happy for everyone who already had the chance to experience this band live 😅 But honestly...I am also a bit jealous... well some day.....

“Amplified history” 😂
This particular song “Kriegsgaldr” means “war magic”
It's pre-Christian, European ritual adaptations. Very magic oriented, very religious. These guys are really awesome. If you get the chance you should watch the whole show, it's on TH-cam. It's mesmerising.
I saw them on TH-cam for the first time about three months ago and now I can throatsing like a pro! No joke. I’ve also made a few cow horns and a bukkehorn. Now to chop into the cottonwood tree that fell in my backyard and make a good drum frame.
Pre Christian meaning Pagan.

Dude was dying to get into the band
The 'rap'like duel:
What am I supposed to do
If I want to talk about peace and understanding
But you only understand the language of the sword
What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall
But you only understand the language of the sword
What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace
But you only understand the language of the sword
I let the blade do the talking...
So my tongue shall become iron
And my words the mighty roar of war
Revealing my divine anger´s arrow shall strike
All action for the good of all
I see my reflection in your eyes
But my new age has just begun
The sword is soft
In the fire of the furnace
It hungers to be hit
And wants to have a hundred sisters
In the coldest state of their existence
They may dance the maddest
In the morass of the red rain
Beloved brother enemy
I sing my sword song for you
The lullaby of obliteration
So I can wake up with a smile
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart
And bliss in my heart
Coexistence, Conflict, combat
Devastation, regeneration, transformation
That is the best I can do for you
I see a grey gloom on the horizon
That promises a powerful sun to rise
To melt away all moons
It will make the old fires of purification
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
Look like dying embers
AND BLISS IN MY HEART- AND BLISS IN MY HEART.
AND BLISS IN MY! HEAAAAARRRRRRRR....TAHH!
COEXISTENCE-CONFLICT-COMBAT
/goes apeshit
That "rap" duel wasnt rap at all. Its chanting. Allegedly the Germanic peoples of antiquity would often "sing" in a manner similar to this, particularly at the height of a ceremony when the psychoactives kicked in. Its one of the primary reasons the Romans and many other foreigners who met these people thought they were either possessed by demons, half animal(The word "Barbarian" supposedly has some root in the meaning "men who wear the skins of animals") or just batshit crazy, and its one of the reasons the Romans were afraid of them.
This is my music of my soul, maybe because I am German and Scandinavian, it has awakened something in me I cant explain
Im thousands of miles from you never has been closer, everything about them is “ magical”.
No explanation is needed, My friend! I can relate. Peace! 😙🤗😇😊✌
You should watch the whole LIFA live concert from this evening. It is mesmerizing and will make you shiver from the primordial energy and power in it.
Great Reaction!!! Please do more Heilung... they are a German-Norway band and they sing in old Germanic language... Maria is a great singer please please please react more to Heilung!!!
Her mannelig !!!!
FYI, they're somewhat more than just German and Norwegian. Danish musicians are also part of the experience. The language is proto norse. A late germanic dialect hailing from the late iron age to the early viking age. Which is by far, an almost completely dead language. It has zero resemblance with modern day Scandinavian or German languages. There is only one place left where a language similar to this exists. Iceland.
@@dbblicher they also sing in different languages on their new album. I've heard Old Norse, old High German, a low German dialect, probably Icelandic as well but not sure about that
Now its time for WARDRUNA : HELVEGEN (Way to Hell) and SKALD : RUN ( Runes).....
Skáld is super awesome
@@FinneousPJ1 Just bought their Debut CD.Amazing record.Cant believe they come from France.So deep scandinavian Roots passion.
@@ingovonderluhe2174 I didn't know that. I assumed they were Icelandic due to the spelling 🤣
skaldvikings.com/
I second Wardruna (Also they were actually on the Vikings soundtrack and Einar Selvik had a cameo). Seen them live twice now and it's like being transported to another time. Besides Helvegen you may also want to check the recently uploaded version of Rotlaust Tre Fell or Einar Selvik's solo version of Voluspá.
Yes!! Thank you guys! my name is frost og take, which is frost and fog in Norwegian. I pretty much love everything about this song and band
frostogtaake Thanks for the request. I didn't really know that this type of music band really existed.. Loved the music to the core ❤
Taake is a great band
Indeed. Although I got the idea for my name from the lyrics to Arcturus' song Hufsa
Wardruna was started by a couple guys from a black metal band( not in your wheel house, nor mine), but this kicked off a lot of other bands ( like this one)getting attention...and Wardruna has been prominently featured in Vikings....
True. And these guys took it to a whole new level. Such is music evolution I suppose.
Heilung is also featured in S06E10
Wow.. Just discovered i like this type of music❤
This song makes me cry every. Damn. Time.
Cringey
@@williamcasey7115 why?
@@williamcasey7115 Yeah, emotionally resonating with a song is sooooo cringey :/ I bet you never feel emotion, so sophisticated are you.
@@tonyhacker5980 Crying over it is weak and not its intended purpose, this is a song of strength. Same words as the Hakkerskaldyr, which is a call to arms. My warband march to these words in formation as an intimidation tactic.
Sir William
Perhaps she cries tears of joy for hearing what her ancestors did long, long ago. A connection resonating on a level of genetic memory. Like hearing ones ancestors call to you. I had some pretty intense experiences listening to this too, always do, though I’ve never cried listening to it.
So glad you guys reacted to this performance. I was mesmerized the first time I stumbled upon it.
Heilung was the last 'concert' we were able to attend before Covid lockdown. I can only say that it was a High Magick Ritual disguised as entertainment. We literally felt them drawing our energy onto the stage then amplifying it before returning it back to us. We were so amped after this ended that instead of a taxi we walked 5 miles through Chicago to our hotel. So glad that we got the chance!
Heilung means healing. Krigsgaldr means war chant. And together it means AWESOME !
War magic-chant or war incantation
PEOPLE ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS BAND !! AMAZING TO WATCH OTHERS REACTIONS
I first saw the Heilung video a few weeks ago and was immediately transfixed. The music has a visceral affect and then factor in the visual appearance of the performers. I found myself transported to a smoke filled building in the midst of a Goddess ritual. I am pagan so that probably helped. :) If you go to the video's page itself there are some excellent comments with info on the probable sources/origins of the music. There are translations of the lyrics and historical information about music like this that has survived centuries. All that discovery the result of seeing the video in You Tube's "recomended for you" algorithm.
Bless it be sister
Yeah, but these "reviewers" just closed their eyes the whole time to the most important parts, namely Maria's gaze.
Castle fest ..Castlefest is a medieval/fantasy festival in the Netherlands, held on the first weekend of August in the gardens of Castle Keukenhof in Lisse since 2005. The festival takes part during 3 days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with an opening concert on Thursday
you guys also should chek out Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin,also a fantastic song.
Yes! Eivor is pure magic! #painintheask
The Title "Krigsgaldr" means War spell (Krigs = War & galdr = Magic spell)
I was at this concert...this was the first concert they ever gave.....and or was epic, hypnotizing....really good.
Great choice Love Maria Franz.. Shes gorgeous..You should watch the whole concert in the dark ..
if you want to listen to another one by heilung listen to hamrer hippyer
Hamrer Hippyer - this is awesome!
I like Othan the best.

Everybody connects this to Vikings at first, because it contains a lot of that "norse" spirit and the Vikings are like the pop stars. But I would rather sort it as native european or Germanic. Before the Roman Empire came and changed everything. Including the spirituality of the continent. The Vikings where the last line of defense against that "Western" spirit. Ancient music, older than Christianity even and native, not imported. I think it´s the drums that speak to something old in us. It´s like a heathen ceremony. And I love it :D
To make a little more sense of that particular song, I dare you to watch the official video. th-cam.com/video/K7ZqZVunCb4/w-d-xo.html
They basically cover northern europe (so from modern day Germany and upwards) from before the viking age and into the viking age. So it's a whole mess of influences from the tribal period of northern Europe. It's not just Germanic and proto Scandinavian either, there's influences from the Lap's and the Rus, the Celts, all sorts of stuff from this period.
@@Grobut81 since when where Celts north European?
I loved that you reacted to this. I never would have expected this. The group pays tribute to their pagan roots. They are a peaceful group but are preparing for conflict with another warming tribe. It’s definitely different but I really liked it when I saw it. Enjoy the experience!
Side note: The female vocalist is classically trained and has done many other things.
Please try "Hamrer Hippyer" at Lifa from Heilung. Its a very long song but it is sooo great.
It sounds like You will summon demons, but is based on a healing chant in old high German from the 9th or 10th century called "Merseburg Charms"
The more You hear it , the more You will be addicted :)
Can confirm, I am absolutely addicted to it and even listen to it in my car a lot
It is frequently played while the wife and I are in the hot tub or sitting around a fire in the backyard
11:23 that head shake and blink describes things more than a 1000 words. This song and Heilung in general really puts you in a trance and when you exit it's like you're just waking up.
Finally I get to see your guys reactions to the mighty Heilung you tube has been burying your videos for me for a while now
It’s a very dronic, ritualistic shamanic experience.. When you listen to the whole concert, you will feel the whole ritualistic experience.. it’s Northern European (Scandinavian-Germanic)
Saw an sjw on another reaction hating on the group for "appropriating native american culture" i chuckled... calling out people on racial bias and cultural erasure meanwhile forgetting that the "original" european culture got wiped out by the romans who adopted their religion from the first christian who came from the middle east...not to mention the inspiration for this is from the iron age meaning it's as old if not older then most of native american culture...
...the other channel called it out pretty well white people trying to connect to their actual roots tend to get bashed for it since that scene unluckily tends to attract a lot of the more extreme fans of the white supremacy / racist / nationalist ideology as well...
@@ricchansan Just retort with "In your opinion they are 'Racist' You're just saying that cause they're WHITE. Anti-Racist is just a codeword for Anti-White!!"
@@blockaderunner spot on! Speak the truth always!
the name is german and means healing and they sing in pre-norsk, norwegian, english and german as i know and they use often old rune poems or texts from the pre to vikings time. all of there songs are meant to bring heeling and peace and their message is that all humans on earth are brothers. their members are norwegian, german and danish i think. their live shows are telling a kind of story. this song for example: the singing part is from an old text and as i know it is about odin healing the broken leg of an horse. the spoken part is about someone starting a fight with someone who never wanted war and rather wants to live in peace but the enemy only understands the language of the sword. very powerful in my opinion
I loved watching you guys sink into the music of Heilung! I've been a fan of them for a while, as well as groups like Wardruna and Danheim! This was the first video of yours I've come across and I loved it! Keep up the awesome content, you guys are so cute!
Ahhh...that look on your faces once he began to sing. That's always my favorite part of reactions to this song.
Sooo Castlefest is a renaissance fair/cosplay/music event in Holland. And Heilung is a side project of two members of the band Euzen and their friend a poet/tattoo artist. Significantly heilung means healing in German and that is what this is supposed to be; we're in a forest in the summer listening to music, eating food, performing a ritual burning of the wickerman enjoying being with friends. Then everyone quiets down and sits on the floor. It's gone dark, the birds you hear are actual birds in the trees, fires are burning all around and then this "music" happens and keeps happening. After 5 minutes or 5 hours (I'm not really sure) you wake up from this trance and you feel moved. This is not supposed to be pretty or light or easy, it's primal.
It is a crime that so many people are just discovering Maria Franz now. She was the singer in Euzen for years.
Ok, so Heilung is a German word, which means healing. The band itself is an international band with members from Denmark, Norway & Germany. They chose that name because "The listener is supposed to be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent". Heilung brings music based on artefacts dating from the Norhern European Iron Age and Viking age. They call the music "amplified history".
The chorus of Krigsgaldr is based on a poem from a gravestone found in Norway in 1917, so it's old Norse. But because the poem is only partially preserved, they made a phonetical version of the 2nd panel (they found 3 on the site). Researchers think it's related to a funeral. The poem should ensure safe passage to the afterlife.
German tribes and Vikings together , i`m danish and i love it. Viking forever 😊
Ladies and gents, BLESSED BE
Oh my fucking shit! I was just thinking about this the other day and wishing yall would react to it! Great job 🤘
The whole album is amazing.
love the Channel! greetings from Brazil!
This whole concert is a RITUAL. I don't know if you all knew that but, yes. It's a ritual to our ancestors, gods,etc. The whole concert,. 😉 Little trivia quiz.
Heilung members are from Denmark, Norway, and Germany.
This band is *AMAZING*
They use various Germanic languages including German, Porto-German, Old English, Old Norse, Modern English, and maybe one or two others. Could you guy watch and breakdown their song “alfadhirhaiti”??? (Names of the Allfather). Allfather being Odin or Wotan.
Just stumbled on these guys a few days ago....stunned and amazed, my inner tribe has spoken!
You guys keep hitting so many of my favorite bands so fast it's like whiplash, I love it! :D
I have my tickets for the tour. I´m so excited
Same. Girlfriend is danish so i think she's contractually obliged to see them or she loses citizenship or something...
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 10,000 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 this year 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. I recommend this video of her concert.
You're about 8000 years off... and for some of their songs even 9000. They are inspired by the Norse and proto-Germanic era, so we're talking about approx 500-1300 AD
I LOVE Heilung. I HATE any kind reactions. But yours was worth to watch, so honest and true acknowledgement of their magic. Thanks!😊
Most reaction videos suck because they say Kai turns them off. I love everything of Heilung.
Maria have the clearest voice i’ve ever heard. This is magic and our roots😊
I love watching you both. Peace
Heilung, means healing. Listen to the whole show, loud and in the dark to get the full effect. New music coming for the summer solstice.
6:46 your faces.......priceless 🍾😉😎😂
oh I love this sound. They are so great musicians 👍Nice to be here with you btw. Greez Phil
Just my favourite band I wish they could come to Spain would love to see them live. X
I love how you said in the beginning that you'd watch a little bit then talk about it -- but ended up going into a trance and listening to the entire thing. Heilung doesn't have fans, they have a tribe. Between them and Wardruna... we welcome you.
#PainInTheAsk Please react to *Dead Can Dance - 'Rakim'* . They are a similar style band but with a world music feel. The lead female singer of this band is famous for adding her vocals to movie soundtracks, most famously "Now We are Free" from the Gladiator soundtrack. The Hammered Dulcimer played at the beginning of the track is also played by the female vocalist, Lisa Gerrard. One of my favorite bands, always spine tingling.
Krigsgaldr is but one section of what is for me a very spiritual journey, and to get the full effect you really do need to shut yourself off from the world and listen to the whole of the LIFA concert. Heilung's music is all about feeling, it will take you to very uncomfortable places at times, but will ultimately leave you at peace, and will stay with you long after the last drum beat stops resonating.
I like how you listen to the music/experience and do not pause the video performance to put your self absorbency into someone else’s art to form and give you opinion at the end like a any adult should. Than you
Their music wakes my inner being.
I love watching reaction vids of Heilung. I feel like they are a very important band in these uncertain times.
Great reaction! Thanks for not talking over them or pausing.
I know I'm coming into this late, but you can see the entire Heilung appearance at Castlefest if you go to the Heilung YT channel and find "Lifa". No, their next set after Krigsgaldr was not Brittany Spears. Many of the members of the group were/are members of Euzen, who have also made incredible music.
North. Does the Tree forget its roots? Do the roots dream of a canopy? We are disconnected and rearranged. Remember the struggle of your arm. Remember the mountain. Red on white.
When y'all both have the time in your own time you should check out this whole show, it's beyond words! Unless y'all decide to save the experience of other songs from this show for more first reactions which is also awesome.
I am not European or white but this definitely is universal kind of music. It speaks to the primal part of the soul no matter where you are descended from
Just for your info, Heilung will announce the tour dates for their upcoming North American tour next week. We will see them in a few weeks in Munich, that will be breathtaking...
While we are hearing the song, our anciens are calling us ...
I think they are a great band and I really enjoy their music
i remember having listened to this song once at least.... :)
I LOVE HEILUNG--- HOPING THEY COME TO THE USA SOON
They already announced that they will be doing a north America tour
@@trammellhunter when and where
I’m from the future! They did come, did you go???
I listen to this full concert when I'm in the mountains. It's more primal than modern music. Another one from that very same concert is Heilung Alfadhirhaiti. It's more intense. I read this band tries to use as much of the old Germanic poetry as they can.
Wow you guys are way off the beaten path! I love this band, and they are planning to come to the US!
The costumes of the two main singers were very Siberian Shaman. And you saw the obvious Viking motif. The music is very Germanic (Early northern Europe and Scandinavia) and Scandinavian inspired, mostly pre Viking times. It's a reminder that we ALL have roots in traditional, tribal, hunter gatherer, animistic, pagan culture.
Kings, dynasties, religions, empires have routed humanities course away from nature and each other, and our deep connection with all that is the universe.
The vibe of the music is very healing combined with some agression, perhaps with a dire message for humanity. Change course or face the consequence.
The lyrics to this song are one of the possible readings of the runes on the Eggja Stone; a 7th Century gravestone found in Norway in 1917. There are several competing interpretations of the carvings but it's generally accepted that they describe some kind of warding for the grave and a funeral ritual.
You should definitely check out "Fylgija Ear / Futhorck", the lyrics for which are the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, and "Hamrer Hippyer", the lyrics for which come from an magic spell in a text called the Second Merseburg Charm, in which Odin heals Baldr's horse's leg with the spell. The Merseburg Charms were discovered in 1841 among the pages of a religious manuscript from the 8th Century and are the only written record of germanic paganism written in Old High German.
Have you listened to Alfadhirhaiti yet? It is my favorite by them, it gives me goosebumps and makes me cry when I watch it. (I have to watch the concert footage when I listen)
it's probably proto Norse it was spoken around the first centery AD to the sixth centery AD
it's super interesting the name of the krigsgaldr means something like "war magic"
Heilung should not be reacted to, it should be experienced to...got a Colorado date lined up, bought my tickets already...it's in 2021, so we shall see...
Subbed. That's all I need from a reaction channel. Cheers guys
The first time I heard this Heilung's song I was like wtf… and then I listened to it again and again and I was hooked. Most of their songs are in proto-Norse or Old English. This one is mostly Old English. Their 2nd album will be released on June 28. I love Maria Franz's voice.
The people of the Germanic, Danes, Finns, Sweds, Norwegians (Vikings). Their whole mantra was leave me be and we will not destroy you, your families, towns and way of life. They were violent but in a pure way, you didn't have to guess what would happen if you attack them. Also if they knew you were weak they would just destroy you and take what you had. You should also listen to Wardruna a band with similar styles
2:16 The moment she realizes her life is about to change.
The influences precede viking times and are also heavily tied into mainland Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, northern France) and even the UK. So, proto-Germanic, like others said, is pretty precise. That does still include Old Norse elements like the Allfather, or Odin/Wodan (fun fact, Odin, Thor and Freyja can be found in "Wednesday"/"Thursday"/"Friday", just to show you how proto-Germanic share the same root with the English we speak today).
Some members are prominent and well-known folk artists in Europe, but here they have banded together to do this incredibly unique thing. The music is European (nothing Indian there, I think), but do borrow heavily from Eastern/Indo European styles. One of the singers always wears a Mongolian shaman garb and also performs some throat singing techniques. It is thought that the old Norse also included throat singing, as vikings eventually emerged even into Asia to trade and picked up some habits along the way.
Sorry to go off on a tangent here :) Pretty cool that you do this.
If you're in the mood for some more, I heavily recommend:
- Wardruna, also heard in "Vikings", except for the intro song, that's Fever Ray
- Corvus Corax
- Skàld
- Danheim (viking trance music, I swear)
- Garmarna
- Eivor, also heard in "The Last Kingdom"
I swear, some of this music tickles my third eye, or something.
This deserves a special recommendation:
Everyone keeps referring to Wardruna and so did I. They collaborated with the show Vikings and drew inspiration or even used Wardruna's songs. Some are produced for this show, with a symphony, like this one:
th-cam.com/video/aqhhlmz6gik/w-d-xo.html
Never seen anything like this. At the end, when everything dies down, it is as if all of their souls slowly sink back into their bodies, from the cosmos.
Their music dents a good chill through my body that I get goosebumps in a good way, like it awaken me
I was there 😃 (Castlefest) is an Dutch fantasy festival where you can be whoever the Fuck you wanted to be dont get judge on your appearance one big happy family❤.
It's a 3 days festival with for camping guests on Thursday evening always an extra (openings concert) its an old language pro Germanic the band name Heilung (means healing)
I put in my AirPods when I go to bed and play this until I fall asleep. It helps me shut down from my day. It is very relaxing. 💜
Glad you found this its truly amazing and I love this bands music so much. Its straight from the ancient God's given to us
The name "Heilung" is a german word and means "healing" in english. The word "Krigsgaldr" means "war money" in english. I do not think that this has much to do with vikings but more or less the culture in northern an central europe a long time ago.
Wrong. Galdr is old norse for a spell or incantation, not money
This music speaks to something very primal. My grandmother was an immigrant from Iceland, maybe that's why.
Right On! Most of the more accomplished musicians listen to a variety of different music genres, even if they don't play them, because they know that there is always more to learn.
Frostogtaake mean Frost-and-fog in Norwegian. Now you guys have that sorted out. Greetings from Norway.
1:53 She's not there any longer. She's in 793AD, on a longboat.
I'M so glad you guy's watched the sounds produced by hitting a a hand full of mussel shells on metal along with other iron age instruments..............OH WAIT ! YOU CANT' SEE SQUAT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran across their music by accident. I am not easily impressed, but their performance totally blew me away. Not since Dark Side of the Moon came out have I been so taken. The creativity, the settings on stage, the period type instruments, not to mention them singing/chanting in perhaps languages that they do not speak.....amazing. I am hooked and have been digging thru all of their work and the translations, which makes it even MORE interesting. Where to play this??? Anywhere you want!! Around a bonfire would be ideal. Caution: some Christians might squeal "its of the Devil" and run.

If I want to talk about peace and understanding
But you only understand the language of the sword
What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall.
