Heilung | LIFA - Alfadhirhaiti LIVE

LIFA is recorded live at Castlefest 2017.

Remember, that we all are brothers
All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind
We all descend from the one great being
That was always there
Before people lived and named it
Before the first seed sprouted

[andrewbergamann]

Now i understand why bards are so important in a raiding party.

[theoookami]

That Berserker in the back clubbing the drums, is living the life

[MagSpud]

As an Anglo-Saxon, I am suddenly concerned for the safety of my coastal monasteries.

[FallafelWaffel]

Romans: Must've been the wind.
Narrator: It was not the wind.

[vengefulbrainiac]

These live versions are better than the studio ones because the audience noise actually adds to the effect. It's like a raiding party and everyone is ecstatic and ready to fight.

[deepsea]

“Babe please just use google maps…”
“No. Ancient instinct shall guide me.”

[michaelskasick]

There is a non-zero chance that an old man with one eye was in the audience, smiling quietly to himself and keeping time with his walking cane.

[collinmclaren]

Discovering germanic folk metal is probably the greatest musical discovery I've come across in years.

[snwitzles]

This is like ancient heavy metal. Heavy bronze.

[thekarmicbrat]

This is one of the rare bands to sound better live than on the studio version

[godzilla]

Imagine you had a long day of guard duty and right before you turn in for the night, you hear this coming from trees and getting louder and closer

[DderwenWyllt]

Just to make it clear that isn't a fog machine, that's their music summoning nature itself

[Stinkycheeseman]

Hearing this makes me understand why the ancient Nords saw death on the battlefield as the greatest honor to achieve.

[ryanweible]

when you can no longer scare your parents listening to marylin manson.

[SkurtavusGrodolfus]

*Everybody gangsta until the forrest starts chanting in Proto Germanic*

[crypsisjim]

1st listen:"what is this weird shit?"
2nd listen:"it's different, and it sounds intense on my headphones"
3rd listen:"HEGULE, HEGULE!"

[brainiac.computer]

I await the day an MMA fighter uses a Heilung tune as their entrance song. Transcendent as hell

[Suryoyoz]

These are the lyrics :)

Draupnir (A magic ring owned by Odin; it drips eight exact copies of itself every nine nights.)

Geri Freki (Odin's wolves)

Sleipnir (Odin's eight legged horse; Loki is it's mother)

Gugnir (Odin's Spear; effectively Norse mythology's aimbot)



Haegolae Haegolae Haegolae Wiju Bi Gojze

Gaegogae Gaegogae Gaegogae Ginu Gahelija

(Hail, Hail, Hail I dedicate to the spear,

Gagaga, Gagaga, Gagaga I yell resoundingly)



Haugen Maunen (Odin's ravens)



Ok Alfadhir heitir

(And he's called Allfather)



(The rest lists some of Odin's many names/titles)



Fimbulthulur Fjoelnir

Udhur Ulfroegni

Thekkur Thudur

Onski Ofnir

Rognir Raudhir

Grimnir Goendlir

Hlefreyr Hangatyr

Jolfudhr Jafnhaur

Atridhir Alfadhir

Sidgrani Sigfadhir

Dughirgjafi Dresvarpir

Bileygur Biflidhi

Margvisir Midhvitnis

Londungr Launhirdir

Yggr ok Yungir



(Mighty Thuler, Wise one,

Striver, Wolfspeaker,

Welcomed one, Pale one,

God of wishes, Inciter,

Cheiftain, Redhead,

Hooded one, Wandwielder,

Famous lord, God of the hanged,

Nebulizer, Needed one,

Yulefather, Evenhigh,

Attacking rider, Allfather,

Long Beard, Father of victory,

One with a missing eye, God with painted shield,

Flashing eye, Shieldshaker,

Leader of the crowd, One with knowledge,

Shaggy-cloack wielder, Guardian of secrecy,

Terrible one and Stormy one.)

[arnoldrivas]

The Hu from the East
Heilung from the North

I'm glad bands like this are making great headway! As a classical music fan and heavy metal fan, this just ticks the boxes. Thank you.

[atypeandshadow]

How they played this live without immediate village raids is beyond me.
