One thing that always strikes me: this was their first ever live performance
They were fucking READY
Quite stunning isnt it?
The middle chant section is a recitation of the runic alphabet, for any who would find that interesting.
Yes, and repeated 9 times for the 9 days and night Odin hang in the leafs of Yggdrasil to gain their wisdom.
The Elder Futhark, to be more precise.
And each cycle sung in one breath. It’s a meditative practice and also a kind of protection charm.
ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲᚷᚹᚺᚾᛁᛃᛇᛈᛉᛋᛏᛒᛖᛗᛚᛝᛞᛟ
Also they use human bone as instruments and costumes..like the human mandible on the one singers head
Heilung don't do concerts they hold rituals.
Maria Franz has an amazing voice!
I think they all do.
Heilung, oh yes!
Please do Krigsgaldr or Alfadhirhaiti next!
I honestly would love to see a Fylgija Futhorck review 😂
Another group that will do this to you is Wardruna... Check out Lyfaberg and Kvitravn. For more Heilung Norupo is a good one.
Samuel, I found wardruna first in my quarantine musical journey, as I like to call it. Listened to their albums with ivar bjornson who is from enslaved which led me to symphonic metal, and let me say the journey isn’t over. But Something about listening to a tribal band based on old readings and using ancient instruments in a language you don’t know that just takes me to another realm in another time. It’s something I can’t quite put into words right. I absolutely love both of these bands when I just need to block the rest of the noise out of my head, and just accept what the are giving.
Samuel I wanted to leave this here for you if you haven’t seen this. F’n amazing at the end it’s like einar wakes up back here on earth from whatever plane of existence he was just at. Put the headphones on and crank it. You’ll be growing a beard, and ready to raid villages at the end. 😊edit sorry forgot to say it’s one of the songs he composed with Trevor Morris for the show Vikings.

Go watch the whole live perfomance (LIFA at Castlefest), it will blow your mind. And this was their first ever live performance :)!
Absolutely. 100%. Do this concert in order Tom boy! Experience it just like the people in the audience did. It's utterly mind blowing. This is just the start!
I 100% second this. It really puts you in a completely different place. Almost transcendent in a way.
This, SO much this!
Totally agree, it's one of the best concerts/rituals I have ever seen, Maria's voice is extraordinary, the song fylgijas ear just took me away to another dimension, music has never done that for me before this, mesmerising
Heilung is fantastic. It sends you to this primal place. Great reaction as always Thomas!
Thank you! 😀👍
The song's title can be found in the Mesogothic Anglo-Saxon glossary as "In-Maidjan", which means "deceptively change" or "corrupt". This makes sense since the entire story within the album consists of a peaceful village that is corrupted by having to go to war. Therefore, Proto-Germanic seems to be the language.
Harigasti Teiwa Harigasti Teiwa "is a clear Germanic reference to the Negau helmet. This helmet contains several Etruscan alphabet inscriptions that include the words" Harigasti teiwa which are the first words of the song. This could be translated as Harigast (the priest) although it could also mean, the priest of Teiwaz (Tyr).
Tawol Athodu - I accept the invitation.
Ek Erilaz - I am a runemaster. The word has been interpreted to mean magician or runemaster. The word is an ablaut variant of count and it is believed that it could be linguistically related to the name of the tribe of the Heruli or Herulos. The Heruli were a Germanic tribe from Scandinavia that was invaded by the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. So it is probably simply an old military title of Germanic provenance.
Owlthuthewaz - owlthu (glorious) thewaz (servant). Means servant of the glorious
Niwaremariz - Priest of the god "Ullr" / famous, renowned. From the proto-Germanic term Wulþuz (glory) wolþu- is possibly a reference to a God, surely the God Ullr.
Saawilagar Hateka - My name is Sawilagaz.
Harja - Army - leader of the army; commander; Warrior
Wuotani Ruoperath Wuotani - Oh, Wodan! Ruoperath - famous and brilliant.
This could be interpreted as the following:
I, Priest Harigast.
Aaccept the invitation (to battle)
I am the Heruli.
I am a renowned priest of Ullr.
They call me Warrior.
Oh, Wodan the famous and brilliant!
Or it could also be interpreted as:
Come, guest Tyr
For this invocation
I, the Rune Master,
servant of Odin,
call upon the one of the Sun
to aid our army
The next chant are the names of the 24 Norse runes of the Elder Futhark. This is also known as runic song.
Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz,
Raidho, Kenaz, Gebo, Wunjo,
Hagal, Naudhiz, Isa, Jera,
Eihwaz, Perthro, Algiz, Sowelu,
Tiwaz, Berkano, Ehwaz, Mannaz,
Laguz, Ingwaz, Dagaz, Othala.
In English:
Wealth, Aurochs, Thorn, Divine Breath,
Travel, Torch, Gift, Joy,
Hail, Need, Ice, Harvest,
Tree, Luck, Elk, Sun,
Creator, Birch tree, Horse, Man,
Water, Fertility, Day, Home.
Odin, prepare for battle!
Hey there, thanks very much for sharing this info! Truly amazing. 🙂
@@ThomFoolery1 it's funny that you say you felt that you were in a trance listening to them.
If you watch any of the interviews with them you will discover that you, the audience are not seen as spectators/just an audience - but as family/friendd, and participants in this ritual of healing ❤️
Cool! Not common to see a comment go so deep. Thank you for that! I just want to add that "Harigast" is often (not always) seen as a personal name and that it could be made up of the words "harjaz" (army, troop, warband, war) and gastiz (stranger, guest). The forms "Hari" and "gast" is particularly found in west-germanic. As such the name could mean "war guest" or "foreign army".
@@sirseigan Thank you very much for this new data that is very interesting. I will incorporate them with your permission in the writing that I do in the reactions that people do about Heilung. It is a pleasure for me to receive them and to be able to transmit them so that the people who listen to these songs can understand all the cultural background that is in them. A hug from old Europe.
Hi Nidels,
The word Teiwaz derives from the Etruscan, in fact some helmets (Negau Helmet) were found with the word inscribed on it
harikastiteiva\\\ip
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negau_helmet
Welcome to the beginning of a new life, a life in which you now know of Heilung. It really sinks into your DNA, where you access your primal self from 10,000 years ago. They use as natural of materials as possible, made by hand. Animals skins, anters, skulls, human bones, human ash filled rattles. Pretty legit. Songs, hmmm; Alfadhirhaiti, Kriggsgaldr, Norupo, and if you want a cardio workout without doing anything, then i suggest Hamrer Hippyer, Odins healing chant.
Love it! Thanks a lot Luke 😃
"I'm sorry if that wasn't the most entertaining reaction"
Don't worry your face spoke a thousand words.
You felt what most of us did and it showed. ^_^
That womans voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD
The first part of the song is a war chant, the second part is the runic alphabet being recited over and over again, the final part is Maria Franz performing a mixture of different chants and "kulning" (herd calling traditional of Norway and Sweden). It's incredibly unique. And yes, most instruments are handmade using animals skins and bones, but also human bones... No joke.
You should do yourself a favour and watch the entire LIFA live show at Castlefest. It's a life changing experience! I wished I could've been there...
Awesome, thank you! Yeah need to hear the whole thing. 😀
Tapping in in ancient spirits...with that you nailed it.
Heilung is Not about music for itself, its meant to be Spiritual.
Heilung and Wardruna are Something very Special
I agree. I don’t even know the language but I don’t have to. It’s like it lives in you, and blocks out everything external, and focuses your energy inward. then at the end you feel cleansed, for lack of a better word. Almost like you’re expelling all the negative shit. It’s hard to explain, but I tried. 🤷♀️
@Amber C, you explained it beautifully 😊
Skäl 🍻
The primal beats are very grounding for the body. It puts roots down then her amazing voice takes the listener's essence to the heavens or the spirit world which is a higher frequency. The continuing drumbeats keep the listener grounded so the spirit can return to it after it's journey.
Very true! The drums tie it all together perfectly.
@@ThomFoolery1 Never sees the eyes of him I name as Animal. (like in Alfadirhaiti from the very same DEBUT consert). AND -Maria of Borre!
I couldn't have said it better. she's the seer and the one who takes you high up somewhere she's the most spiritual part of the performance but also very strong.
I feel you Thomas,i felt the same. This was amazing! During this song i rolled in a whole other vibe... feels pretty good 😊
Also I can't remember off the top of my head if you've done it yet but if not you need to do Eivor - Trollabundin live
Yes! Makes you want to be there.
Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz, Gebo, Wunjo, Hagall, Naudhiz, Isa, Jera, Eihwaz, Perthro, Algiz, Sowelu, Tiwaz, Berkano, Ehwaz, Mannaz, Laguz, Ingwaz, Dagaz, Othala
Wow,very special. I did'nt hear any of them but honestly,yes i can appreciate this kind of music! I liked this song. Almost felt i rolled in some kind of meditation. Thanks Thomas for this reaction and introducing me to this music!
Always a pleasure Denise! I'm glad you enjoyed some meditation 😀
@@ThomFoolery1 I did 😊 And it seemed you entered a special place too listening to the song 😁
Krigsgaldr from the same show (fun fact: this video was made from their very first live appearance) is great! And there is a english part in the lyrics 😉
You know what? Im just happy you discovered this! ;-) Great reaction, you were hypnotised!
If you want to dig deeper, from the same concert, listen to Krigsgaldr, Alfadhirhaiti then Othan and Hamrer Hippyer.
Concerning the band hitself, im pretty sure your reaction is going to invoke Nidels who is going to give you all the informations you need!
Cheers Thomas and thank you again, i only wish you could see my smile while watching you listening to them! ;-)
Hey Maxime! Thanks a lot, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I think it was you that suggested this one recently so merci beaucoup! Definitely going to check out more from them. :D
Love this band!! Marias voice is beautiful! I would love if you do a reaction on Aurora & Wardruna - Helvegen. Or Eivor - Trollabundin. For more Heilung you should check out Krigsgaldr. Thanks from Sweden
do not apologize for getting in trance... you see, it's a reaction, too ;)
The song Alfadhirhaiti that I mentioned before actually comes right after this one in that show
That lady has so much control in her voice......it's beyond amazing.
If you're in the mood for something that gets your blood pumping: Alfadhirhaiti from the same concert🤘🏻
It was a great reaction! I love seeing people entranced by Heilung! I ran into them a year or so ago, around lockdown time, and they were one of my saviours (working online for the first time) :D
Also, great catch about them and The Hu - they use mongolian throat singing technique, and the main male vocalist here does throat singing as well.
Also, imagine, this was their first big live show! :)
Thanks a lot! Yeah I can imagine listening to them while working.
They are hypnotic when playing live.. i kinda fell in a trance swaying with tears in my eyes..very powerfull. Would love to see more
Yeah, I kept forgetting there was a camera rolling. 😂
@@ThomFoolery1 i believe they use instrumens that are made for them..they use authentic bones..even human bones for what i've heard
according to my mates i was out for about 10 mins, I wouldn't know, i could have been gone a lifetime and just not remember
Seeing this on stage is the only way you can appreciate it properly. The drums pounding through your body it’s trance inducing. It stirs something primal and ancient in us.
Nicely done bro.👍Fun fact Kai Uwe Faust ( the guy who is looking like he is straight out of a Viking film setting) is the actual head of the band who himself had many spirituel contacts with his ancestors going hundreds or even thousands of years back. His spirituel experience is part of most compositions of their songs. Disclaimer. This is a recall of an interview Maria Franz gave a few months ago.
Wow! Thanks for sharing the info. 😀
Oh I really love Heilung and these kind of music.
If you want to get some more great music like this, you have to check out Wardruna with "Helvegen live" with Aurora or "Raido" official Video. It's mindblowing.
.......😶 Wow...
That was enchanting... Awesome performance right there!! Great costumes too, these guys look like they were ripped right out of the 'forsworn' tribe in Skyrim! 🧐
And yeah, that throat singing, couldn't help but think about Sheldon Cooper 😉😄
Never heard something even closely to this band!
Great experience and, as always, great reaction Thomas!
Cheers mate 🎼🎶🔊🤘
Dank je Roland! Glad you enjoyed this one. 😀👍
I LOVE these guys; their music seriously has some kind of effect on me lmao, you NEED to react to their other song called Kriegsgaldr; that one means 'war magic' in german!
Heilung is great. I even bought the blu-ray of this concert.
Try, from this LIFA live at Castlefest concert:
Krigsgaldir
Alfadhirhaiti
Hamrer hippyer
Othan
Don’t forget Norupo; official video
Yes, I know Afro Celt Sound System. Great music.
Nice one! 🙂👍
Fylgijas ear, where he does the ritual with the bones in the lifa concert, amazing
Oh yes it's all real in their rituals - right down to the human bones and drum that's ceremonialy painted with their blood each year - this band has healed my life and changed it in so many positive and glorious ways 💖
For the past couple of years, I've had a post-retirement gig in West Tokyo as an Assistant Language Teacher. For Halloween, I dimmed the lights and played the video of Heilung's Krigsgaldr at 3 Jr. High Schools. Not sure if it helped motivate them to learn English, but it sure scared the shit out of "em. That was one "Halloween" lesson they will never forget. 😂
Laughs as a nordic, what a reaction! :D Well done
heilung have that stunning gift of tapping into your ancesters tribe sound it grabs your soul and takes you back to see and hear liveing music seeming lost in a trance like state
if ya wanna be spellbound some more, check out their songs hamrer hippyer and norupo aswell, or any of their other songs, they are just great, i love them so much, and your reactions too, keep em commin laddie
Maria is so beautiful, inside and out. I could listen to her sing the phone book
hi new person here, the algorithm brought me here. loved your reaction, a lot of people who react to this always get spell bound, anyway you would love Krigsgaldr if you liked this one!
Krigsgaldr next 🙌
First time listening to them live, the audience was almost in a trance. If they had prepaired longboats for us, we had attacked England again ;)
Now you know why Heilung calls themselves "Amplified History"! In Maidjan is an introduction to the Runic alphabet, each rune has a meaning rather than being a letter. It's bands way of teaching the story that's upcoming. "Lifa" is essentially about a village that's forced to be going to war with another village. The english part of "Krigsgaldr" explains this well ("why can't you leave me and me people in peace? But you only understand the language of the sword"). "Hamrer Hippyer" is their one song from Lifa that I can totally zone out to!
Great reaction. Different and special. Hypnotizing. Great voices. Especially the female singer. But don’t think i would watch a whole concert of this music. Thank you for this reaction.
13:55 when Maria brings it up, gives me goosebumps everytime.
We saw Heilung in Montreal in January 2020, it blew my fucking mind.
Like folks say..there's a whole lot to them. You get lost in their full hour long show. My energy really charges from the aforementioned Alfadhirhaiti which is a song hailing Odin and naming the many names of Odin along with his totem companions. The performance finishing song Hamrer Hippyer is also great...but is just very long tribal percussive celebration that kind of can trance a person out. This song really spotlights Maria's range and I loved it for learning the runes...even if it's such a nordic/germanic accent.
That alphabet chant is very entrancing
Bodom After Midnight Paint The Sky With Blood.
Love Heilung❤...Skald is another amazing band too you should check out.
Heilung and The Hu need to do a song together.
Thomas, your emotional face expressions were entertaining enough, don't worry.
This was their first live gig. Just take a moment with that.
Hi. I don't know your language, but I hope the translator will translate it correctly. I haven't watched you before, but I liked this reaction. Few words - lots of emotions! This is right! This is what the reaction should be. Don't forget to rate Hamrer Hippyer!
(Привет. Я не знаю твой язык, но надеюсь переводчик переведёт правильно. Я тебя прежде не смотрел, но эта реакция мне понравилась. Мало слов - много эмоций! Это правильно! Такой и должна быть реакция. Не забудь оценить Hamrer Hippyer!)
Thanks very much! 🙂
Heilung is indeed a fantastic band. There is some quite shocking and some fantastic performances.
As Trivia, the bones they use as instruments are real and a few of them are from HUMAN bones (a bandmembers grandmother donated em) hence they often get into trouble at airportchecks.
If you want more from them there is are quite some good ones out there. Krigsgaldr (warsong) is one of the more shocking, Norupo from the soothing and my favorite as lover of norse mythology is svanrand
Wow, never thought of the security issues they could have! Difficult to explain haha
One of my favourite bands. Been listening to them for a few years now and this song never gets boring. Amazingly hypnotic and entrancing.
Absolutely adequate reaction!!!
Greeting from germany!
As you liked this you definitely should have a look at „Corvus Corax“ from Germany.
They are called „The Kings of Minstrels“.
I love Heilung. ❤️
Check out Skald they sing in the last true viking language
Yes definitely awesome too
Subscribed for Ankudinova,Jinjer,and Heilung.FYI Maria Franz the female vocalist of Heilung is also in the band Euzen.Her singing of their songs The Stage and Metamorph at Castlefest 2016 is different but very good.Another Maria is Maria Brink of the band In This Moment.Their OMV’s of Big bad Wolf and Adrenalize are worth seeing and hearing 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks Jim!
Hey Thomas, Yeah something new for you ;o)
Danish Christopher Juul and the Norwegian singer Maria Franz (of the folk trio Songleikr and the progressive rock/pop-rock band Euzen) are a couple and they founded Heilung with their friend vocalist and tatoo artist Kai Uwe Faust. These guys and the whole band that also consist of French, Dutch and American members take you onto a journey. I hope I'll have the opportunity to see them live sometime - I'm told their concerts are amazing and quite something else...
You might also like Norupo, filmed by some standing stones. There’s also Trauste filmed in front of a live audience. I believe trauste means trust…and for just a moment it looks like they’re strangling a band member right on stage….performance art. Strange group
Maria sings me to sleep every night
Yeah alphabet song!
Dude, i know this comment is a year late but listen to Alfadhirhaiti and Anoana from Heilung...
Neolithic rap.
my fave reaction video. Your facial expressions go through a range of emotions ; shock, amazement, joy, content ect which is kind of a reflection of the song / viewing experience
I come back to this every few months. Her vocal solo in the 2nd half is...life.
You should react to the song Helvegen by Wardrune.
And go for the live version, there is one where they sing inside a cliff i think.. it is haunting and beautiful.
We all are blown away whenever we hear heilung for the first time..we get so trancefixed that we feel like we're hypnotised
🤣🤣🤣🤣You read my mind about The Hu.
Now you need to do the Metallica cover by The Hu. Sad But True. It is really good..
Have always been intrigued by Heilung. Something about them is very soothing.
I heard that cover already, so good!
Yes, it really is soothing and healing... or heilung. 🙂
@@ThomFoolery1 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I still the recall the exact moment when I discovered Heilung
They do not sing songs they literally perform rituals they cleanse the stage and themselves with sage if you see the video more closely they do not sing songs they perform rituals as this one is 😂
They make there own instruments.
This is one you might want to react to. heilung-traust
th-cam.com/video/7J2GUk5GPJE/w-d-xo.html
Krigsgaldr is way overhyped. They have so many more songs that are better.
Also all them instruments are hand made like they used to be made in the past and the song as far as i could understand was chanting runic alphabet..
For another Metallica reaction, I highly recommend "fight fire with fire" live in Mexico 2009. It's epic!
I missed castlefest that year, biggest mistake in my life, its a 30 min busride from my house too, i fucked up
Maria Franz had been around for like a decade. Apparently she had to wear antlers to finally get the accolades she deserved.
As always a brilliant reaction. Never heard of this group but they were mesmerizing. Good job Thomas. Ty!
Cheers! Glad you liked them too. 🙂
for me
irst time listening: its ok.
second time listening : its good.
third time listening: TAWOL ATHODUEK ERILAZ OWLTHUTHEWAZNIWAREMARIZ SAAWILAGARHATEKA HARJA
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should check out their song Fylgjia ear
when i saw them at london roundouse 2019 i tranced out, best gig/ritual i have ever been to, no joke, felt like coming home after a long dirty trip, love afro celtic sound system too :) othan is my fav from this show
Haha! That's awesome! I can totally imagine that feeling 😂
This is why the Romans were terrified of our ancestors
at least, this ist nothing you want to hear when they march onto your village at night
I get the impression being set under drugs and sacrificed.
When I hike into the woods I listen to Heilung and all is magic.
Your face @ the beginning.
Priceless😄
It hits hard. From Scandinavia. ❤️
she always steals my breath and I love her for it.
Check out fylgijas ear by heilung, oh wow
They make their instruments by them selves.
This shit hits so much harder live lemme tell ya
Imagine, being a roman legion, in their camp at night... And in the distance suddenly you hear this, coming from the dark, deep forrests....
Funny my bloodline is nordic and italian, i'd like to see the interaction between my ancestors romans and vikings.
nice reaction is clear that u r touched.
Heilung really are about stream of consciousness and altered mind states, if you allow your mind to just flow into it you come out of the other side feeling better even if you don't understand what is being sung/canted. I have taken part in these rites as they are a part of what I believe, the Celts would have embraced or even created the word we live in, they led technology and even today some of what they did cannot be bettered, I love Heilung and what they create, a safe place
Hey Bill, wow, thanks for another well written comment. That's a great point about not even needing to understand and think about anything in particular. I'm going to revisit them soon. 🙂
Reminds me a lot of Monster Hunter, especially 3rd (Ceadeus Theme and so forth) - though in MH the language is made up - but man. Even the aesthetic is similar - I wonder if MH got some of the inspiration there from Norse folk culture and the like. That'd be dope.
