Heilung have released their new single, “Seidh,” along with an official music video. The track is taken from their upcoming album Sagas, due December 11, 2026, via Season of Mist.
Sagas features recordings created by Heilung members Kai Uwe Faust, Maria Franz and Christopher Juul in collaboration with video game developer Ninja Theory for Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga. The collection includes material that did not appear in the game and is being released on CD, vinyl and digital platforms.
“Seidh,” which Heilung previously performed at The Game Awards in 2023, draws inspiration from Norse mythology and the practice of seiðr, a form of ritual associated with prophecy and spiritual communication.
The accompanying video was directed by Gornoss and serves as the third installment in a trilogy exploring themes of trauma, healing and vision. The previous video, “Læknisgaldr,” was filmed in Norway and Iceland, while “Seidh” incorporates the band’s Haarii warriors and footage shot in the Netherlands.
“We knew we wanted to tell a story about healing from trauma,” Franz explained. “But during the filming, it became clear that the story was too big for one video only.”
The trilogy will conclude with the release of its opening chapter, “Slagt,” at a later date.
Sagas will feature 11 tracks, while deluxe editions include Sagas Ambient, a collection of eight additional soundscapes recorded for the Hellblade II project.
Heilung are also working on their fourth studio album, following their 2022 release Drif. The group returned to recording activities after taking a hiatus following their 2025 Amplified History tour.
