August 2022 release from the enigmatic world music collective. Heilung comment in their own words: '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 it's 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 civilizations. Tracks: 1. Asja2. Anoana3. Tenet4. Urbani5. Keltentrauer6. Nesso7. Buslas Bann8. Nikkal9. Marduk Evading all conventional genre tags and the confines of any specific labels, HEILUNG aptly self-describe their sound as “amplified history", emphasizing their ability to connect modern society with the rudiments of humanity’s beginnings through music. HEILUNG once again journeys back in time with new chapter ‘Drif, an album which explores great ancient civilizations.
