Founded in 2014 across Denmark, Germany, and Norway by Kai Uwe Faust, Christopher Juul, and Maria Franz, Heilung create what they describe as 'amplified history from early medieval northern Europe,' drawing on runic inscriptions, Iron Age texts, and ancient instruments including bone rattles and reconstructed weapons. Their studio albums — Ofnir (2015), Futha (2019), and Drif (2022) — are accompanied by immersive ritual live performances that have earned comparison to theatrical ceremony more than conventional concerts. The group composed the soundtrack to Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and performed at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2021, cementing their crossover appeal far beyond neofolk's traditional audience.
