Heilung is a multinational music group formed in 2014 that describes its work as 'amplified history', reinterpreting Iron Age and Viking Age texts, runes and artifacts through ritualized music and reconstructed instruments.

Heilung's work emphasizes ritual performance, percussion, vocal chants and the use of historical texts and reconstructed sound objects. Ofnir is frequently cited for its hypnotic, percussion-driven, mantra-like approach.

Reviews present Heilung as a ritual, percussion-driven project that reworks runic and Iron Age material into hypnotic, chant-like music. Ofnir is described as turbulent, trance-inducing and intentionally intimidating rather than comforting. The group is known for using reconstructed instruments and texts from pre-Christian Northern Europe.

For:Listeners of experimental/neofolk, fans of ritual and reconstructed ancient music, people interested in Norse/ Iron Age texts and performance

 Heillung means "healing" in German. A term that here takes on the connotations of a total catharsis.
