On their new podcast, HEILUNG are inviting longtime converts and newcomers into their sacred realm, where history and spirit converge into a healing ritual. Hosted by founding member, singer and shamanic practitioner Kai Uwe Faust, the podcast journeys into the lore, traditions and primal forces that shape the world-renowned Nordic collective and their unmistakable Amplified History.
Having previously explored the mythological roots behind ‘Alfadhirhaiti’, the Babylonian cosmology of ‘Marduk’ (one of the most incredible pieces of etymological music I’ve ever heard), and the unbinding magic of ‘Traust’, Heilung are now releasing a fourth episode dedicated to ‘Nesso’. The track first appeared on Drif, the collective’s third album, released in 2022.
Heilung transcending music. Their blend of folklore, tradition, shamanism and history have taken them from Billboard charts to Glastonbury, The Game Awards and major Hollywood films. Their performance rituals draw crowds into an intimate, mystical space that threads together earth, fire and incense with throat singing, primordial rhythms, subtle electronic textures, a mesmerizing light show and instruments made of animal hide, human bone and more.
Heilung’s full discography, including their latest release Lifa Iotungard, is available now on Season of Mist, order here.
