When Heilung creates its magic, we do so by fully immersing ourselves in our bubble by closing the doors to the noise of the outside world, which these days, between automation and conflict, seems louder than just a few years ago
After a year away from the spotlight and the stage, the core trio of Heilung return with a breathtaking video and the long-awaited announcement: this October, they will return to Lava Studios and begin working on their highly-anticipated fourth full-length studio album.
The short video, featuring Maria Franz’s ghostly white form against lush greens, blues and purples, brings forth a surprise treat: the announcement for the album Sagas, a collection of recordings made in collaboration with videogame developer Ninja Theory for Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga, including previously unreleased songs.
Eight years ago, we began collaborating. This led to a long, intensive and hyper creative period that focused on the crossroads between vast Icelandic landscapes and the innermost corners of the human mind. Soon, these recordings of our travels from deep underground ice caves, over bursting volcanoes, through endless lava deserts and into the very depths of our own minds will be released in their raw entirety.
A release date will be announced soon.
