The Hu – are back with the release of two new singles

It’s a double dose of brand new music from Hunnu Rock pioneers The Hu.

The Gold-certified global phenomenon delivers “The Men” which is accompanied by an official music video, alongside “Warrior Chant,” both out now via Better Noise Music.

Traditional Mongolian strings herald the arrival of “The Men.” This organic swell gives way to a gritty and gruff groove-laden riff topped off with hypnotic vocals. The band’s signature hybrid of indigenous instrumentation, heavy-as-a-2×4 guitars and transfixing tribal chanting makes for another essential anthem from The Hu. It’s tailor-made for an epic battle scene, climax of your favorite video game, or workout session. At the same time, it’s evocative of the musicians’ own tradition and heritage.

About “The Men,” Galaa commented, “‘The Men’ is written based on Mongolian philosophy of ‘Man’s Inner Spirit’ or ‘Хийморь’ and the importance of inner strength and kindness of a man to the world. Energy of men should always be reinforced with positiveness, strength and generosity, so this song tries to encapsulate that ancient wisdom and share it with the rest of humanity. The lyrics are chants that guide young and old men alike to be headstrong and to have a dream that cultivates goodness. We only wanted to focus on the positives that can make a man ponder about who he is in this world and wonder about how he can have a positive inner spirit when listening to it. We hope our fans will be able to capture every fibre of Mongolian Man’s way of living through this song.”

Then, there’s “Warrior Chant.” It lives up to its title with a hard-charging chorus and a tight and taut metallic soundscape. Between the horse head fiddle and instantly recognizable delivery, it immediately amplifies everything about why fans fell in love with the band in the first place.

Regarding “Warrior Chant,” Galaa added, “‘Warrior Chant’ has our signature rhythm that our fans fell in love with and everyone who knows us will say that it is ‘our song.’ Our third album has a bit of everything, rhythm-wise and we see that as a progress of expanding the Hunnu Rock genre… Enkush and I focused on horse head fiddle solos by imitating the horse gait and you can hear that rhythm throughout the song.“
