Heilung

Biography

Heilung is an experimental folk group composed of members from Denmark, Norway, and Germany. Their music is based on texts present on artifacts from the Iron Age and proto-Germanic period. They describe their musical style as an "amplified history from the early High Middle Ages of Northern Europe". Heilung was formed in 2014 by Kai Uwe Faust, a tattoo artist specializing in Old Norse tattoos, as well as Christopher Juul and Maria Franz from the trio Songleikr and the progressive rock/pop rock band Euzen. In 2015, the group released its first album, Ofnir, as a self-release. The group's first performances in 2017 took place at Castlefest and Midgardsblot Metalfestival.
