Heilung are bringing their acclaimed live performance to 10 U.S. cities this fall including Clearwater, Florida; Huntsville, Alabama; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Kansas City, Missouri. The band will be playing songs from their entire discography, including Drif, which came out last fall.
Heilung state about Drif:
“We took the ancient surrounding advanced civilizations in account because our ancestral Nordic civilizations did not just pop up, exist, and disappear in isolation. Already in the Bronze Age, we found silk on German land that was imported already from the far, far East 3000 years ago. From the Viking age, we found beads that were brought there from present-day Syria high up in the Northern mountains.
“Centrally 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 ancestor’s world.
“With singing these primordial songs, we want to give tribute to these cultures, reconnect to the beginnings and remember that we all, from East to West, from past to present, are connected through the exchange of ideas and inspiring each other.”
Meaning “gathering,” ‘Drif’ bridges history with modern day society and also makes a statement of the strength in unity and togetherness.
