[@Peaceful_Zen_Life]

I fell in love with them the moment I heard them!

[@coryearnest9464]

i was on mushrooms the first time i heard them, crazy experience.

[@Peaceful_Zen_Life]

@@coryearnest9464 i’m sure it was magical!

Same!!

@@mikeburger5761 ok I’ll check it out! Thx! 1❤️

[@nomanmcshmoo8640]

There is NOTHING like when the bells announce that "Traust" has begun. "Traust" live is so incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Valhallabrother]

this taps right into our collective memories straight to your core

[@Subtlenimbus]

Yes, there is something very familiar about this.

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

Nope.

[@Gary-zq3pz]

Space age technology plus the music of the Ancestors equals....

[@iam_dannie]

This song will forever give me shivers. I feel all the spiritual world coming along

[@stephenmahlstedt7276]

Very reminiscent of Dead Can Dance. I was lucky enough to see them live in D.C. back in 2005, and it was an amazing performance.

[@phlogistonstudio8261]

This is cool. It’s like a GWAR show for Druids. I dig it.

[@te9591]

Yuh, good analogy. But i think Druids were Gaelic this is more Norwegian.

[@jackspratt44]

Yeah it's real cool if you like Druids that conjure real literal demons... Yeah

[@phlogistonstudio8261]

@@jackspratt44 lol. “Real literal demons”. Is that like a real literal Santa or real literal tooth fairy? Hahaha. Good one!

[@lennydog666]

at first look i thought it was a band of Blothars

[@Emilyb21-dm3bf]

@@te9591 Celtic which covers Gailic and there are similarity and DNA as in keening things like that UK isn't far from Norway etc.

[@boonedoggel434]

In a time before rock and roll, a long long time ago, there was stone and bone, a visceral music.

[@IsaacKing-rx7kf]

There is nothing like heilung anywhere else its .its own genre of music and this is the best song to watch anawna is the best for the sound both are eargasminc

[@spartacusp656]

Je rêve de les voir en concert un jour Par Odin 😢😊

[@MrKvitbjorn]

Moi aussi!😊

[@sylvievandermotte8580]

J’adore j’ai appelé mon chien Odin. Top ce groupe ❤

[@phatlyt]

I'm pretty much going to Download here in the UK this June coming to see Heilung, obviously I'll be watching others, but these are mine and my friends main focus for the festival, so can't wait for it!

[@vulgarprophet6605]

My best friend is also going to Download, wish i could go as well! Make sure to enjoy it! Skål from Sweden!

[@michaelcgn1090]

What a performance, what a experience. Being glad for the chance to be part of the ritual last December in Frankfurt. Outstanding!

[@MR-backup]

explanation?

[@decifal]

Absolutely love this one

[@Rancid_Sanity]

I have mixed emotions everytime I watch a live video of them on KZbin, on the one hand I love their music and performance but on the other hand I get mad and jealous of the people that are there getting to experience it

[@ryandeboer9584]

[@marksheppard9880]

BRILLIANT BAND. I BET THAT WAS FANTASTIC SHOW.

[@lordporksword3837]

It sure was! :D

[@cesarmella8062]

nice capture. thanks !

[@augustzelenak9565]

Vikings not Druids! Still pagan though! They’re shows are rituals! They make me feel more connected to my ancestors!

[@tommydingo1h547]

Wouldn’t be scary though. I mean ritual such as this.

[@noirmanitou8366]

Arerrghhhh! I missed this. Bloody living Tasmania!

Is this the Eras Tour I've been hearing about?

[@fritzzapatak318]

I do not really understand their spiritual message, but never mind! The sound is so great, the composing and performance is sooo outstanding, i just enjoy, it makes me feel kinda emotionally relaxed, so huge these guys.

[@RetroFan]

I think their approach, the spirit of the band is a focus on pre-Christian Europe, the Celtic peoples.

[@kellymutch4842]

This is a band that has attempted (very well I might add) to revisit the Old Germanic and Norse traditions in a way that is as authentic as possible, while still being truly entertaining to the viewer.

[@kellymutch4842]

​@@RetroFanthats all true except for the Celtic part... They are of German, Danish and Nordic origins.

[@landslug]

Are they going to play Stonehenge?

[@erich7592]

Just noticed it isn't Isabella as the sacrifice.

[@EarthenDemon126]

Who is singing the opening lines?

[@IslandAdventures]

Heilung + Boobs = WIN! Hope to catch them live sometime, feeling all that base in person must be wild

[@thomasmayer9392]

Hab euch lieb macht weiter so

[@brianwhite4484]

Ok...gotta learn more. What exactly am I listening to?

[@XzRecolz]

Copied from an interview: "Traust is probably HEILUNG‘s most positive song so far. Dominated by female voices it starts out with, what is called Leysigaldr in old Icelandic, a blessing to release a tied warrior. HEILUNG performs that blessing actively on stage during the song. It continues with nine blessings, taken from the old Icelandic poem Grogaldr. Here, luck in battle, good words in speeches and yet another blessing of release are summoned. The choir sings a younger Icelandic protection spell."

[@naskeri]

Song or band?

[@lisapailler3837]

I think the band can be qualified as experimental neo folk, that's what I read!

[@gryphon0468]

@@naskeri the band is called Heilung

[@oldnick4707]

​@@XzRecolz, This is all good to know. I watch this performance to give it a chance and took away the opinion that it must be unauthentic, so it was uninteresting. Also, due to the thought that it was inauthentic, that the garb and decoration is also undeserved. The fact that it contains icelantic poetry a thousand years or more ago makes it very interesting though. Iceland is a really unique place in which much has been preserved. Most oher cultures haven't bothered with this typically.

[@michaelnaretto3409]

Since the female cast members are very scantily clad, I am going out on a limb to say that this is for adults only.

[@tylerbuckley4661]

No they are not for adults if you understand anything about traditional Germanic tribalism you would understand the ritual of cleansing the stage before the show

[@michaelnaretto3409]

I know nothing about Germanic tribalism. I was just making an observation.

[@Emilyb21-dm3bf]

Nudity isn't and doesn't have to be sexualised the culture in West Europe esp Finland Sweden don't see it like to that

[@lloydy68]

Who is doing the female vocals?

[@Xaforn]

The lead female singer is Maria Franz in cream/white

[@lloydy68]

@@Xaforn She isn`t singing the opening lines though.

[@KRJones87]

@@lloydy68 Not sure who is singing the opening lines, but I've noticed they've been adding more singing roles to the backup singers and warriors over time. I saw a recording of a concert of theirs from a while back (Not the Lifa one) and Maria was beginning to sound hoarse by the end of it. Kai seemed like he was having a harder time by the end of it too. I can only imagine how singing in this style, show after show, can be hard on the vocal cords. It makes sense to me that they're incorporating other singers. Got to protect those voices!

[@zarbithechti]

~ Is this the prelude to a sacrifice of virgins?

[@alexbartha274]

It's about a warrior escaping imprisonment, as well as a few blessings to give said warrior strength and resolve.

Was würden unsere "Grünfeministinnen" dazu sagen? Nur 2 Geschlechter und nichts Diverses auf der Bühne......

[@k.karlsson5172]

Soviel echten Feminismus würden sie schlichtweg nicht vertragen und desorientiert gackernd herumlaufen. Wäre aber besser, als für Zeitungen Interviews zu geben oder öffentliche Reden zu halten.

[@mikeelu6503]

Not for me repeating the same thing over and over with the same thumping beat

[@justingreen8572]

So human sacrifice now?

[@69quato]

No - it's more a chant of blessing a soul passing into the afterlife - as far I got it , the being tied to the spear symbolises the final struggle - being teathered to this world in a suffering state if you will , the release from it the passing into another world/state

[@Mike-yp4ez]

try to listen with your heart and not with your mind, if you open up you will feel the calm en peace of this

[@Rancid_Sanity]

Yeah try and listen to just the music and don't watch the video. I have eased a few people in that way and it's not a sensory overload. The performance is just extremely different from anything you would see at any other concert. I look at their show completely different from the first time I watched it

[@stevenkatz679]

Devil music 👹

[@mikew9097]

At least it’s better than rap. They can harmonize their vocals beautifully. Other than that, it’s repetitive, rhythmic, none sense. Like the Grateful Dead, without guitars.
