In Proto-Germanic, Ano means ancestor or forefather. Ana came to two close contenders; Icelandic and Old High German. In Icelandic, it means to Rush to or to Barge into. Whereas in Old High German, it meant Grandmother. Of course, we can easily conclude Landawariar means Guardian of the Land due to appearing to combine the words Land (Landa) and Warrior (Wariar). Greets from the Center of Germany🙂✌🤘

Heilung’s first three albums are actually so good that I’m nervous what will happen on their 4th if they don’t mix it up and add someone new who can complement their sound nicely, and aurora’s voice and aesthetic already more than suits them, especially their softer songs.

I may add for context Sweden is being ripped apart, rapings, shootings, including grenade attacks and crimes of an exponential nature. They have considered activating the army, and fifteen years ago (or so), the Swedes were considering closing some of the last prisons in the country. This, while the Swedish system was sporting diversity, is our strength, but now the prisons are full, and they are having to open more. I am not trying to change your outlook.

Like others in this comment section, I too got to see them live in South Carolina just last weekend and had tears streaming down my face for at least 50% of the performance and was elated and shook for the other 50%. It was astounding and the audience was SO into it. Wolf and bird calls (really good ones too) could be heard as well between songs and during the final closing bits of Hamrer Hippyer after Kai says those last guttural final words, he threw up some quick rock/devil horns 🤘and whispered "thank you, you were amazing". Agh! My heart! I've always felt that music is the closest thing to tangible magic that modern humans still have a connection to that runs deep, but good gods if Heilung are the first music I've ever heard that makes that idea cut to the bone.

Normally I’m one of these silent observers that doesn’t comment. I just really enjoy people experiencing music I love for the first time or in a different setting. I was there at the Apollo, third time actually. First time I saw them in the Roundhouse in 2019 an experience I treasure and hopefully never forget. I met someone I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. We attended the second ritual in York. Danced with the warriors, got covered in black body paint which the hotel was very happy about (not😂). But unfortunately 2020 decided to have different plans for us so we went our separate ways. Anoana was my comfort song during this time. So when this started and the moment hit where it was just Maria singing I think 3 years of build up pain and everything came out (I wasn’t the only one crying) What I’m trying to say is that if anyone is in doubt to see them please do because you will never experience anything like it again. I’m not a religious person but this is probably the closest thing I’ve felt to something higher existing. So to you good Sir I really hope their next tour is closer to you and allows you to experience their ritual as intended because they are indeed quite “Healing” 🤍

[@ThePentagenarian]

I remember hearing this song for the first time while watching the video and one of the first thoughts I had (having seen their other live work and having listened to songs like Traust and Nesso more than any other single song in their catalogue) was “how the fuck are they going to pull this song off live?”, particularly with the culmination in Maria pitching up during the bonfire sequence at the end of the music video. Idk who noticed it but she is going even higher in the live version than what she did on the album, which exceeded what I expected or even feel I deserve. the transitions before and during Kai’s portions were executed smoothly too. I know they had some hiccups with stage issues during Tenet at some of their performances, esp with lighting effects, but this was just so gorgeously done and they managed to capture the epicness of the song without the stellar visuals of the music video. I’m so so impressed. I can’t wait for the full 2024 Lifa, mostly because of Nesso. I’m dying to hear it live.
