“Hamrer Hippyer” is a song from the band Heilung. Quite a challenge to cover it alone as this piece usually involved many musicians that orchestrate their singing and drumming in a way that I can’t do. Though I could mimic it with loops, and started to work on this way; also “Hamrer Hippyer” was the most “adaptable” of their song as a lone musician.

This song is usually played at the end of their rituals, and is a blessing. It involved rhythmic throatsinging inspired by Arctic tribe (such as Inuk/Inuit), several names of Wodan/Odin (the high god of germanic tribes) and also part of the Merseburg charms, which are old germanic incantations preserved by the christians around the 9th century, in Old High German language.

This spell can be found in several european cultures and similarities can be found in Atharvaveda hymns from Ancient India, hinting an ancient Indo-European roots.
