New opus by Heilung is here. Heilung is international band project with members from Denmark, Germany, Norway…and they are something special and different from other similar acts. For starters, Heilung means healing and their music is just that. They heal with their mixture of darkened shamanic Nordic folk, Carpathian ethno music, world darkened folk music, warrior shamanic ritualistic chanting topped with Maria Franz’s almost ethereal beautiful voice. Also, their songs are in ancient languages and the instruments they play on, besides some electronics are done by themselves from bones, wood and all their atmosphere and melodies take you as a listener to some other world. Their opuses are getting better and more powerful as time passes. If you did not go, I strongly recommend their live rituals, because only if you open your mind and get into it, like phenomenal Lifa ritual which you can see on Youtube in full, will bring relief, tears, anger, warrior pride, and above all connection with spiritual in yourself. My personal favorites on this opus are: Tenet, Keltentrauer and Marduk. Excellent.
