Heilung, Which Means “Healing,” Creates a Unique Aural Experience

Heilung (which translates to healing) creates an unforgettable aural experience with their live shows that blur the line between musical performance and ancient pagan rituals. Their fans frequently use words like goosebumps or unforgettable to describe their experiences with them.

Kai Uwe Faust, Christopher Juul, and Maria Franz comprise this trio who perform Viking-inspired costumes but do not count themselves among metal musicians.

Drif

Heilung (pronounced Heiling), formed in 2014, have already released two studio albums – Ofnir and Futha–and one live album since. Their music aims to elicit spiritual responses in listeners; Danish, German, and Norwegian musicians use instruments from ancient European cultures such as Celtic to create what the trio refers to as “amplified history”.

Heilung’s shows blur the boundaries between musical performance, ancient pagan ritual, and present and past. Drawing inspiration from historical texts like runic inscriptions and Roman military poetry; using sound sources available during early medieval Northern Europe such as stones, bones and crude metal objects struck together; their mission is to reclaim Viking symbols from extremists and neo-Nazis by showing them in more spiritual context; whether its glacial post-rock of “Asja” or the mesmerizing hypnotic squall of “Tenet,” Heilung is an altogether unique grouping in their own class – nothing else is like Heilung!

Ofnir

Elden Ring’s All-Knowing Mage is one of the more challenging bosses to face. He wields an arsenal of spells – many powerful and deadly spells unique to himself that pose particular danger to those using magic.

Savant mages can also make themselves easy targets for players using projectile-based attacks, as their low health bar makes it hard for them to keep distance and can easily be disorientated by aggressive spirit summons that strike multiple times at them.

His spellcasting is painfully slow, with moves having short windup times. By keeping him engaged with a steady barrage of projectiles and an abundance of Crimson Flasks to revive, you can eventually defeat this foe.

Anoana

Heilung are often labeled pagan folk bands; however, they’re actually more of a ritual collective that brings modern society in touch with its past. Therefore, rather than label their music with genre tags they prefer the phrase ‘amplified history.’ Their latest album Drif features cinematic and hypnotic sounds with elements of metal and atmospheric music for added dimension.

“Anoana” is an example of this, featuring an emotive melodic chant that invokes nature’s powerful beauty – no surprise then that the band has such a worldwide fan base!

Heilung uses instruments reminiscent of Viking musicians’ instruments for their live shows. They bang on percussion and sing their songs while banging out rhythmic beats on the drums – their music being both symphonic and trance-inducing with vocals that range from deep bass to throat-singing drones. Heilung have even worked with gaming companies to provide sound tracks for their games as well as appearing in several television shows and films.

Urbani

Urbani has taken advantage of their expertise with truffles to craft this delectable sauce that features chunks of white Trufa Magnatum Pico truffle in it, along with high-grade butter and extra virgin olive oil to preserve its delicate truffle flavor.

The music of this band features throat singing, chanting, and battle sounds; and they employ ancient runes to convey their message. Their mission is to defend Viking culture against neo-Nazis; each show opens with an opening poem emphasizing humanity’s shared history.

Umbria-based company boasting floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of autumnal forests is known for their quality products, with several divisions such as dried porcini mushroom business. Their products can be found worldwide in supermarkets and gourmet food stores alike; additionally they supply truffles to restaurants and caterers worldwide – the company rejects using chemicals in production which results in more subtle, less intense truffle products than competitors.
