Part Eastern World and Part Western Metal :
healer combines the polar opposites of yin and yang to create a deep, momentous listening experience.

At once epic and very beautiful with a powerful sentiment that is refreshingly different in heavy music. This eclectic melding of musical styles and talents produces a passionate energy, and intense dynamic that can only be described as World Metal.

Healer was formed by Ivan de Prume, drummer/percussionist and founding member of the multi-platinum selling band White Zombie, in July of 2003. He began composing songs with various renowned musicians which he produced and engineered at his Los Angeles, California recording studio, Burningsound Studio, to forge his musical vision into the sonic masterpiece that would become the bands debut release, “Awakening”.

Joining de Prume in the creation of “Awakening’s” unique sound are:
vocalist, guitar and bass player Scott von Heldt from Kurai/Theater of Madness; violinist and yailly tambur player Martin St-Pierre from Cirque Du Soleil. The bands live line-up includes percussionist Phil Dippold and Bassist Scott Galloway both of the band Baron Von Sloth.

There is an energy that is unique in healer’s “Awakening”. Colorful percussive rhythms, two soul-stirring vocalists and a soaring violin enmesh with an insistent backline to combine into a seamless soundscape of exotic Middle Eastern melodies with heavy overtones. The diverse backgrounds that contribute to the sound of healer come together in an amazingly creative musical journey.
