When Description Source
2020 After a Black woman was harassed by white audience members at a Heilung concert in New York, the band publicly apologized and explicitly stated that Heilung is for people of all skin colors and that they do not tolerate racism, hate speech, or white-supremacist politics. Source
Heilung prominently uses Nordic runes, sunwheels and other pre-Christian imagery. Some Nordic symbols have been appropriated by Nazi and neo-Nazi movements, creating a potential far-right association, but Heilung explicitly rejects white supremacy and says its use of the imagery is historical rather than political.

Heilung has participated in conservation work through Savage Lands. Savage Lands says that 100% of music royalties from its music go toward biodiversity projects. It has projects in places including France, Costa Rica and Burundi. Source
