Heilung is sounds from the northern european iron age and
viking period. We used everything from running water,
human bones, reconstructed swords and shields up to
ancient frame drums and bronze rings in the songs.
The lyrics contain original texts from rune stones and
preserved spear shafts, amulets and other artifacts.
Furthermore poems, which either deal with historical
events or are translations/ interpretations of the
originals.
Every attempt to link the music to modern political or
religious points are pointless, since Heilung tries to
connect the listener to the time before Christianity and
its political offsprings raped and burned itself into the
northern european mentality.
Heilung means healing in german and describes the core of
the sound. It is supposed to leave the listener eased and
relaxed after a sometimes turbulent musical journey.

A little over a month ago I posted the above by Maria
Franz & Heilung, and quoted their description of
themselves from the narrative there...but what they're
bringing through goes well beyond those few words, for
sure... All three members of the core Heilung group are,
to me, carrying energies of time-and-space melting Earth-
based sacred communion through the power of rhythm and
voice...through an iron-age/proto-Norse/Viking ethos,
from before the Vikings became conquerors of others...and
how that core has expanded into the group currently
touring has truly become a next-level synergistic
participatory phenomenon they bring everywhere they
go...... Their organic instrumentation, the material they
create themselves and, omg, all they do with their
voices, is unprecedented and magical to me... It always
strikes me as being a massive, powerful en-masse
energetic-clearingfest.... ;)
Which brings me to Eivor Palsdottir... This amazing angel
from the Faroe Islands feels like Maria Franz's
soulsister, so parallel her energy and trajectory seems
with both Maria and all of Heilung... She recently
performed with them and they just announced she'll be
joining them for their 2025 tour... Those are going to be
quite some events... ;)
