Always worth remembering that this was their first ever live performance. Stunning and their beats speak to our souls and of times past.

In Maidjan and Norupo are absolutely amazing as well. PLEASE 🥺

This was the exact moment where i paused and pressed the like button. You could quote that. Thats a good sentence.

[@Skurian_krotesk]

@@MikeandGinger could you pls make a reaction to their song "in maidjan". This song is a full display of their talent and it is so beautiful it puts you in a compfortable trance state. The female lead lingers name is Maria Franz and she does a couple of things in that performance where i heared vocal coaches say they would want a lesson from her. It is impressive to say the least.

That is so bad as*! That comment is classic!🤣👍

[@palantir135]

This is from their first ever live concert: LIFA live at Castlefest. High lung. It’s an epic concert. You really have to listen to In Maidjan to hear the vocal qualities of Maria Franz. Other great songs from the LIFA concert are: Othan Alfadhirhaiti Hamrer hippyer Those are real human bones Maria uses. Don’t forget Norupo, official video

[@Glenn056]

High loo-ng, not lung. Based on pronunciation from the band members themselves.

[@palantir135]

@@Glenn056 i automatically forgot that most readers don’t speak German like I also do. It’s the German lung where the u sounds like the moo sound of cows.

Ginger:- "I understand the language of the sword!" Mike:- "Meet me in my pillow fort!" The most oblique chat-up lines ever!

[@MikeandGinger]

Lol.

[@I_scribbles]

Ginger I could see that look on your face as you had a strange feeling awaking inside your soul. Reminding you of a time of your ancestors.

[@gentlemanjester637]

The lyrics for the English part of the song, since I just know you're curious: What am I supposed to do if I want to talk about peace and understanding? But you only understand the language of the sword... What if I want to make you understand that the path you chose leads to downfall? But you only understand the language of the sword... What if I want to tell you to leave me and my beloved ones in peace? But you only understand the language of the sword... I let the blade do the talking So my tongue shall become iron And my words the mighty roar of war Revealing my divine anger's arrow shall strike All action for the good of all I see my reflection in your eyes But my new age has just begun The sword is soft In the fire of the furnace It hungers to be hit And wants to have a hundred sisters In the coldest state of their existence They may dance the maddest In the morass of the red rain Beloved brother enemy I sing my sword song for you The lullaby of obliteration So I can wake up with a smile And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart Coexistence, Conflict, combat Devastation, regeneration, transformation That is the best I can do for you I see a grey gloom on the horizon That promises a powerful sun to rise To melt away all moons It will make the old fires of purification (of purification) Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers Look like dying embers

[@OroborusFMA]

Maria Franz has been around for like ten years - it's about time her talent was recognized.

[@2727rogers]

If they ever do a concert in your area they hire local people to appear on stage as warriors. You and Mike would be perfect for that roll.

[@Wickwitch]

I saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado. Perfect venue. They opened and closed the ceremony with Native Dancers. It was perfect.

[@okiejohn3925]

This touches something in my prehistoric soul....

[@I_scribbles]

Common side effect. They're music can change you in ways you can only experience. Also other side effect may include sudden and sporadic beard growth, household pets turning into legendary beasts and waking up in the woods in an unkown land.

[@MrSlimfinger]

I second "In Maidjan" - that one is a must!

[@steves7102]

You can play music with my bones… because I just died laughing after you said that you always wanted to play with the bones of your enemies 😆😂🤣

[@Geralt26]

This first concert was great. I mean it had such great setting and "mood" - it was like everyone was transported in past times:). Songs are also made in a not rush way - I mean slow transformations in a music (like horn and small changes and then all other instrument slowly come in :) ). BTW: Once I was a musician like them, but I was hit by arrow in a knee ;).

[@beetlebob4675]

"Leave me and my pillow fort in peace!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Zoey-K-1]

I just recently discovered this band, too, and like them quite a bit.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

Loved the slow build of this song and credit to the horn blower with his breathing technique. Also the effort with their instruments, so basic, shows you can make music with anything, as I’m sure it was back in time. ❤️🤘🇦🇺

[@I_scribbles]

The horn was looped into the song after he first blew it.

2 or 3 times a year I play this song on my audioinstallation outside my house in the woods I live in , it has an amazing effect as it echos under the trees and keeps the fauna silent for at least half an hour

[@peterliddle4546]

This is music that speaks to the soul, Maria Franz is also a Ginger. Norwegian . She even wrote an episode for the show Vikings. The band is touring USA in October. Sadly no international bands touring to South Africa😕

[@knutroarhagen4322]

Krig means war, and galdr means scream or roar. The name of the song krigsgaldr is best translated warscream.

[@wannabedane4046]

Sorry, been away for a while - liked the reaction. Heilung, originally an norwergian (female lead singer) danish (singer, composer, instrumentalist) and german (singer, composer, instrumentalist) collective. They build their instrument. Impressive in concert, I'm told. More reactions to these guys, please. Like that you guys got/move new chairs in - and Ginger, what's with the belt ;o)

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I dig those chairs! They look super comfy. The horn sound is kept going by a looping/sampling pedal that plays the sound over and over. Since it's just one note, it sounds constant. At the end he resumes blowing the horn because he wants the sound to taper off. Sorry if I'm explaining the obvious there. I read somewhere that the throat singing/growls they do have a historical basis. In some rune or manuscript, some ancient people were talking about leaving a village in I believe what's now Sweden and said that their singing was as of dogs barking. I wish I could find the exact wording as it made more sense than what I just typed, but I can't.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Oh, and if you've got some time, the reaction channel The Charismatic Voice did a long but informative and entertaining interview with Maria Franz of Heilung. I'm not requesting a reaction to it or anything - that would be silly since the video is over an hour long - but it's worth a watch if you'd like to learn more about Heilung.

Customs is a challenge for them as some of those bones are human. So Ginger is on point about the bones of the enemy.

[@Frankamaria]

there is a whole concert on KZbin (Alcatraz Festival 2021- their latest performance, aired by Arte concert) :D

[@cristianalef6042]

In Maidjan, from the same concert please!

[@2727rogers]

By the way those were human bones Maria was playing. They have to get special permits when traveling due to the type of drum heads they have, the bones they use and there are human ashes in their rattles. The name Heilung means healing.

[@MikeandGinger]

Awesome

[@PalleRasmussen]

Also, the big drum is painted with their own blood. They refresh it annually in a special ritual.

[@BaconNationChannel]

I would suggest you guys start watching Vikings and The Last Kingdom. A lot of Heilung, Warduna, Danheim and other artists music shine in those shows. Also, it will give you a greater context and understanding of the Germanic religions (including the Norse and Danes) which are all very similar between themselves. This is what we were before christianity came to mainland Europe.

[@baalzhamon8491]

From what I have heard, the bones Maria is tapping is real human bones

I was a little surprised when you said that you haven't heard Heilung before. Had to go and check. They are a bit like Wardruna. Really glad you like them. Lifa - Hamrer Hippyerand and Norupo are quite good next songs by them

Mike said it seemed really familiar to him. But I can’t for the life of me think of what we might have heard 🤷‍♀️ - G

[@ichigokotetsu9540]

4:20 the horn is already sampled taking the horn from the very beginning while they sample it on stage for it to continously play, so is the metallic noises sampled in live during the performance, not a long breath :D

[@LaughingMan44]

We all have this energy within us, where has it gone? Why has it gone? We need to find it again.

[@stevenrider9632]

Just imagine if you will that you were a young roman soldier guarding the frontiers of Germania and you heard that getting closer. Oh by the way those bones are human- the radius and ulna I believe.

[@rockape1954]

Maria Franz is really good . You should see her in her other band Euzen. For Heilung its worth reacting to In Miadjan...

[@tvo2563]

Maria is a chameleon. She can go from woodland pixie to Ice Goddess just by changing bands

[@TheTaiylorWallace]

Krigsgaldr is one of my top three Heilung songs alongside In Maidjan and Hamrer Hippyer, but my absolute favorite is Hamrer Hippyer. It's a fantastically driving song, and feels so intense, but it's all about healing and it comes in three different languages across the song. It's like this intense ritual, wishing for the mending of bone and blood and joint. And then the song ends with the words "May it be of help." It's so fitting for Heilung, being that they start their shows with a mantra that begins with "Remember that we all are brothers" and their name literally means "Healing" in German. I haven't yet heard a song of theirs that I don't get lost in. Krigsgaldr feels like the sort of "flagship" song of Heilung, with the story it tells and the layers of sound and the clear change in "acts" as the peaceful village must rise against their invaders and enemies, and it is indeed the story of the album. Maria Franz's voice gives it so much soul, but she shines best in In Maidjan and Norupo for sure. Highly recommended if you enjoy this type of music.

[@joshuaciresoli2927]

The thing I enjoy most about Heilung (German for "healing") is their use of the ancient languages. I am pretty sure that this one was in the d Futhark dialect, but I could be wrong.

[@MikeandGinger]

I worked so hard to find a translation somewhere, but could not. - G

[@joshuaciresoli2927]

@@MikeandGinger Yeah, it is actually a dead language that has been forensically reconstructed in recent years but very few can translate it (maybe a select few linguistic scholars). Most of the Viking and Pre-Viking culture and records were destroyed by natural causes or during the Christening of Europe under the Church. All we have left is some of the poetic Edda's, stone inscriptions and burial sites, to my knowledge, though there might be some other sources that I am unaware of. If I am not mistaken, Icelandic and Norwegian are the closest modern relatives to the Futhark dialect, but, again, I could be wrong. Either way, this is a great song and I am glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes to the both of you

I was born in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein and live there. In the Middle Ages my homeland was Danish, now German. Because of this, I have a loving connection with my northern neighbors. P.S.

i wish they would do a song that features a primitive bagpipe. For they were an ancient musical instrument. Almost as ancient as the drum. And nearly every European culture had them, not just the Scottish folk. It was ubiquitous. It should be celebrated as much as that lyre.
