Season of Mist

Heilung is an experimental folk music band formed in 2014 by vocalist Kai Uwe Faust and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Juul. Hailing from Denmark, Norway, and Germany, the band explores early medieval northern European history through their amplified sound. Joined later by Norwegian singer Maria Franz, Heilung's music is a powerful journey into the past. With their unique blend of vocals and production, they create an immersive experience for listeners.

The core members of Heilung include Kai Uwe Faust on vocals and Christopher Juul on music and production. Maria Franz contributes her mesmerizing vocals to the band as well. In addition to these talented individuals, Heilung also collaborates with session musicians such as Jonas Lorentzen, Juan Pino, Alex Opazo, and Jacob Lund.

Heilung's live performances are enhanced by a group of dedicated performers known as the "Heilung warriors." This show group includes Marijn Sies, Ruben Terlouw, Pan Bartkowiak, Faber Horbach, Jens de Vries, Eigen Leon Remie, and Gwydion Zomer.

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!”

On the meaning of the album title, HEILUNG explains: “The majority of full rune set inscriptions start with ‘Futha,’ and is known to us as the first four letters in all runic alphabets. It is considered that our forefathers saw magic potential in engraving the full rune line, but there is also great significance in the beginnings. Science has no key for the meaning of only engraving the first couple of letters yet, but there is, of course, a surplus of theories. One of the theories we found inspiration in, is that ‘Futha’ holds the meaning of fertility and female gender. As ‘Ofnir’ focused on war and masculine notions, the great healing power of female wild strength is evoked in Futha. Those who have been present at a birth or have seen lionesses hunting know the spirit, and we welcome and embrace it in the sounds that were born during the creation of ‘Futha.'”
