Heilung - Release blinding new single!!! of their upcoming new album
Helilung release another glimpse of new album 'Drif', which will be released on the 19th of August via Season of Mist. Ritual music collective Heilung have unveiled their new single 'Tenet', another glimpse of their upcoming new full-length 'Drif'. Heilung means "healing" in the German language, and aptly describes the core of the band's sound. The 'amplified history' trio reach back into our collective past to present a truly immersive experience, leaving the listener at ease and in a relaxed state, after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent.
Heilung reach far back in time to the Northern European Iron Age and Viking period to create the foundations of their sonic experience. The band utilises many means in their songs: from running water via human bones, reconstructed swords and shields up to ancient frame drums as well as bronze rings. It’s difficult to simply categorise a band that uses such a variety of influences, traditions, and instruments to create immersive soundscapes. Hence, the group settled on the description 'amplified history' to best describe their music. When Heilung self-released 'Ofnir' in 2015, the Danish band could hardly have anticipated the breakthrough success of their debut album.
Spectacular live shows, strong critical acclaim, and a massive underground buzz added to the constantly high demand for this full-length led to Heilung’s new label Season of Mist re-issuing 'Ofnir' in several collector's edition formats. Heilung's live album, 'Lifa' (2017) was released in parallel. The visionary three-piece continued gathering praise with their latest full-length 'Futha;, released in 2019 which debuted at No.3 on the Billboard "Heatseeker" chart and No.4 on the Billboard World music charts in the United States, placing on a total of seven Billboard charts within the first week of its release.
While the World came to a stop during the pandemic, the three-piece retreated into the studio to write and record the forthcoming album 'Drif'. In classic Heilung fashion, all sounds are hand-crafted organically by the group. To create 'Drif', Heilung sought for forgotten songs, hand crafted ancient instruments, and transcribed dead languages to spread messages of love and nature respect.' Drif' will be Heilung's most immersive and successful work to date, so make sure you have a listen to it... when it is released.
