Heilung | Futha | CD

Heilung means "healing" in the German language and this also describes the core of the band's sound. The listener should be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent. Sounds from the northern European iron age and viking period, using 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. Heilung tries to connect the listener to the time before Christianity. "Futha" was three years in the making and was finished at midwinter, the very darkest day of the solar year. At the opposite to "Ofnir", "Futha" is the counterpart, the balance point, the feminine side. Here, the lyrics originate from old Icelandic poetry. Hence, female voices are more prominent on "Futha".
