Heilung featured in Game of Thrones teaser on HBO Latin America

In cooperation with HBO Latin America and Game of Thrones, Season of Mist and Danish outfit HEILUNG are proud to share a teaser for the acclaimed series featuring the music of the band
It is not the first time HEILUNG‘s music is featured in a commercial, as Adidas released a somewhat unnerving promo campaign in collaboration with fashion icon Alexander Wang in 2018. The commercial can be viewed here! On further news, HEILUNG have previously released an album teaser for their new offering ‘Futha’. The record is set for worldwide release via Season of Mist on June 28, 2019.

The band states: “‘Futha’ was three years in the making and was finished in the dark, Danish midwinter. But after darkness comes light, after winter comes spring, after suffering comes relief, after ‘Ofnir’ comes ‘Futha’. Here’s what the spirits has to say about it!”
HEILUNG will embark on a European tour in October and November this year. The tour will kick off on October 22nd in Warsaw (PL) and will end about a month later in Paris (FR). Find the full list of tour dates below.

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 are the reason why their new label Season of Mist does not hesitate to re-issue ‘Ofnir’ in several collector’s edition formats.

HEILUNG means “healing” in the German language and this also describes the core of the band’s sound. The listener is supposed to be left 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 their sound 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.

HEILUNG‘s lyrics contain original texts from rune stones, preserved spear shafts, amulets, and other ancient artefacts. Furthermore, the band uses poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations and interpretations of the original texts.

Any attempt to link the band with or bring their music into a modern political or religious context is pointless, since HEILUNG try to connect their listeners with a time before the coming of Christianity and modern political ideologies.
