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.

Drif means “gathering”. A throng of people, a horde, a crowd, a pack. In symbiosis with the album title, Drif consists of a flock, a collection, a gathering, a collage of songs, that much like little flames were seeking towards each other, to join, to bond, to create, and be greater together.

This album has very clearly dictated its own path. Our attempts to tame it was repeatedly fruitless and once we came to this realization, the creative flow surged forward with immense force. So much so that sometimes it felt like the songs wrote themselves.

All the songs on Drif have their own stories. They have each their place and sense of belonging, with inspiration not only from Northern Europe, but from the ancient great civilisations.
