Mongolian hunnu rock band The HU, who have made a big splash in the heavy music scene, have quickly become one of the most interesting phenomena on the international metal scene. By combining Mongolian traditional instruments and throat singing with modern metal, the band has created a unique style, and has grown a large fan base.
The Hu’s listeners have been waiting for new music like the rising moon, and now the wait has finally come to an end, when the single The Real You was released on streaming services.
The Mongolian warriors’ latest masterpiece represents the band’s faster and more furious production. It urges the listener not to judge others, but to focus on themselves instead, and thereby grow into a better person. The song is based on a Mongolian proverb: “Don’t worry about what others have on their heads, but worry about what you lack.”
“The Real You single sets the tone for our upcoming third album. It will feature songs that are more traditional and unique to us, but there are also some faster and more energetic tracks, like this single. When we were making the song, we were thinking about our ancestors riding fast on horseback through the landscape. Listen to this song to release the emotions buried inside you, and feel the huge rush of energy that we are sending you!”, says tovshuur player and throat singer Temka.
