KRIIGERKVLT — the new ritual collective fronted by HEILUNG founding member Kai Uwe Faust alongside members of the HEILUNG warrior choir — have signed to Season of Mist and released their debut single "Mahakala" on 20 April 2026.
Unbound by genre, era or cultural identity, Kriigerkvlt draws from harsh gutturals, throat singing, drone, piano, harp, marimba, guitar and nyckelharpa. "Mahakala" channels a wrathful deity from Tibetan Buddhism and the ancient Bön shamanic tradition — not as spectacle, but as a call to confront the shadow self through awareness and transformation. Martial drums, ritualistic chanting and fragile piano collide across five minutes of uncompromising atmosphere. The music video was directed and filmed by Faust himself and edited by Christian Medea and Anda Lupulet.
