Heilung release new song ‘Traust’

HEILUNG have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Traust, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Futha which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, the band says,Traust is probably HEILUNG‘s most positive song so far. Dominated by female voices it starts out with, what is called Leysigaldr in old Icelandic, a blessing to release a tied warrior. HEILUNG performs that blessing actively on stage during the song. It continues with nine blessings, taken from the old Icelandic poem Grogaldr. Here, luck in battle, good words in speeches and yet another blessing of release are summoned. The choir sings a younger Icelandic protection spell.”
