The band's first album was released in 2015

Heilung was formed as a collaboration between Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul after the two met in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2003. Faust, a vocalist and tattoo artist with a specialization in Old Norse tattoos, struck a deal with Juul, a producer, for free tattoos in exchange for assistance in composing and recording poems.

In 2015, Juul's girlfriend, Maria Franz, who had previously worked with them on the prior project Euzen, was added to the lineup. She was first inducted as a session vocalist and then later became the third permanent member of the band.

Heilung, which means healing in German, specializes in their own genre of music, which they term Amplified History. In an exclusive interview with Revolver magazine, the band elaborated on their musical style and theme, addressing the necessity of breaking away from modern life and returning to a more primal space, which the genre emphasizes:

"We try to give a little spark of that emotion: to make people feel how it is to be surrounded by nature, to slaughter their own cattle, to build their own drum, to live from the Earth.Every attempt to connect it to modern stuff that makes us sad is not important."

The band released their first album, Ofnir, in 2015. The album received widespread acclaim in the online music scene, garnering more than a million views on YouTube. The band released their second album, Futha, in 2019.

Aside from the three studio albums, Heilung has also released a live album, Lifa, which has more than 8 million views on YouTube. The band's music has also been featured in the historical drama Vikings. The band is also recording the soundtrack for the upcoming video game Senua's Saga: Hellblade II.
