Mongolian rock band fuses tradition with metal
Dropping not just one new track but two, Hunnu Rock pioneers The Hu have released The Men and Warrior Chant, along with the music video for the former as a double dose of their iconic folk and electric instruments and throat singing.
On The Men, traditional Mongolian strings swell and give way to gritty, gruff groove-laden riffs topped off with hypnotic vocals. Its hybrid of indigenous and modern instrumentations carves out yet another essential anthem from The Hu.
“The song is written based on the Mongolian philosophy of ‘man’s inner spirit’ and the importance of inner strength and kindness of a man to the world. The energy of men should always be reinforced with positivity, strength and generosity, so this song tries to encapsulate that ancient wisdom and share it with the rest of humanity,” said The Hu’s Gala.
Power and rhythm
Then, there is Warrior Chant that lives up to the title with a hard-charging chorus and tight metallic soundscape. Between the horse head fiddle and recognisable delivery, it immediately amplifies everything that fans have fallen in love with about the band in the first place.
According to Gala, the second new song has The Hu’s signature rhythm. He also revealed the upcoming third album will “have a bit of everything”.
The new tracks come after The Hu’s appearance on Pray to the Sun with Declan de Barra, a song from the latest season of Netflix’s One Piece live-action adaptation.
