Heilung Release New Podcast Episode for “Traust”

On their new podcast, Heilung are inviting longtime converts and newcomers into their sacred realm, where history and spirit converge into a healing ritual. Hosted by founding member, singer and shamanic practitioner Kai Uwe Faust, The Podcast journeys into the lore, traditions and primal forces that shape the world-renowned Nordic collective and their unmistakable Amplified History.

Having uncovered the mythological roots and historical references behind “Alfadhirhaiti” and “Marduk” during the two previous episodes of The Podcast, today, Heilung are releasing a new episode that is dedicated to “Traust”. Now a staple in the collective’s celebrated live ritual, this song first appeared on their second album, Futha, which debuted in 2019 at #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and #4 on the Billboard World Music chart.

“This episode of the podcast offers an intense look at how belief, ritual and sound converge as Amplified History on ‘Traust’”, Faust says. “Through Merseburg charms and early ritual practice, I lead us into a realm of unbinding magic, where we reflect on sacrifice, transformation and the moments when human fear meets sacred necessity”.  

The release of this episode coincides with the arrival of the Pink Moon, which brings spring and a time for rebirth.

Heilung are known around the world for transcending the boundaries of sound and history. Since forming in 2015, the Nordic collective have made their unmistakable presence felt everywhere from the Billboard charts to Glastonbury, The Game Awards and major Hollywood films. Their performance rituals draw crowds into an intimate, mystical space that threads together earth, fire and incense with throat singing, primordial rhythms, subtle electronic textures, a mesmerizing light show and instruments made from human bone.

Heilung’s full discography, including their latest release Lifa Iotungard, is available now on Season of Mist.

In 2025, Heilung embarked on headlining tours of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Along the way, they cast their spell over more of the world’s biggest stages, including Roskilde Festival, Download Festival and Glastonbury. But no matter where the future takes them, Heilung always begin their performance with a humbling reminder of where we all come from.

“Remember, we are all brothers. All people, beasts, tree 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.”
