About

HEILUNG

Since its inception in 2015, the enigmatic ritual collective HEILUNG has been paving melodic paths to the past with their unique and mystifying sound. Evading all conventional genre tags and the confines of any specific labels, the group aptly self-describes their sound as ā€œamplified history,ā€ emphasizing their ability to connect modern society with the rudiments of humanityā€™s beginnings through music.

ā€œCentrally important concepts, still in extensive use today, like the number Zero and all the mathematical universes deriving from it, the use of iron and the general concept of settling all originate from traditional high civilizations outside the north and still fundamentally changing our ancestorā€™s world.

While HEILUNG features authentic and archaic instrumentation that ranges from rattles and ritual bells to human bones and throat singing, their captivating brand of music is far from primitive. Producer and founding member Christopher Juul implements subtle electronic elements that elevates the musical atmosphere and provides a more in-depth and layered soundscape.

HEILUNGā€™s success has been unprecedented, achieving milestones in its few short years of existence that many do not see in a lifetime. The collective already had rapidly been growing a buzz upon the self-release of their first full-length, ā€˜Ofnir,ā€™ in 2015, but their dizzying upward trajectory really took off from the moment they set foot on the stage at Castlefest in 2017 for the now-legendary debut of their live ritual.

By this time, the bandā€™s music started to appear in places outside the confines of music venues, videos, and vinyl. From hit television series like ā€˜Game of Thronesā€™ and ā€˜Vikingsā€™ to video game giants like ā€˜Conquerorā€™s Blade VII: ā€œWolves of Ragnarƶkā€™ and ā€˜Senuaā€™s Saga: Hellblade IIā€™ to the blockbuster Robert Eggers film ā€˜The Northman,ā€™ HEILUNGā€™s music has risen far above the underground and has transcended into a greater world. Even a global pandemic couldnā€™t slow down HEILUNGā€™s success; it only strengthened them and gave them the gift of time to complete work on album number three, ā€˜Drif.ā€™
