SUMMARY:The Hu\, Support: SKALD
DESCRIPTION:The HU are a fantastically unique force of nature. A musical sensation formed in 2016 in the Mongolian capital\nof Ulaanbaatar\, the quartet are the pioneers of the genre Hunnu Rock\, with almost 900 million global streams to\ntheir name – and counting. 2019’s debut album The Gereg put them on the map: not just in their home country\,\nwhere they were the first group ever to be awarded the prestigious Chinggis Khaan Order\, but even a galaxy far\,\nfar away\, contributing an original song to the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order soundtrack.\nTwo years later\, their name sat alongside the likes of Elton John\, St. Vincent and Ghost on the epic tracklist to\nThe Metallica Blacklist record\, performing a distinct\, formidable cover of ‘Through The Never’ at the personal\nrequest of the metal legends. And 2022 follow-up album Rumble Of Thunder took The HU to iconic stages\nsuch as England’s Glastonbury Festival\, and into North American arenas supporting Iron Maiden.\nThese captivating first two records made good on the band’s promise of sharing their beautiful heritage –\nindeed\, their lyrics are entirely\, and very deliberately\, all in Mongolian. “If you learn the language and\ntranslate our lyrics\, you’ll understand the context even more – the background of why we chose these words\,”\nexplains frontman Gala\, who is the group’s throat singer and morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) player. “Hopefully\nwe will encourage people to speak more Mongolian and become interested Mongolian culture. It’s a very rich\nculture and it needs to be represented.”\nNow\, as The HU gear up for the release of their highly-anticipated third album in 2026\, they’re taking things\neven further. Knuckling down to work at their second home of Nature Sound Studio in Ulaanbaatar – a place so\nfamiliar and comfortable that “sometimes we take off our shoes\, it’s that level of freedom”\, grins Gala –\nthe band\nhave been pushing their limits\, describing this latest work as an “enriched” take on Hunnu Rock.\n“We took our time to do this right\, and I’m so glad that we’re almost ready to release what we have worked on\nthese past few years\,” Gala says. “As well as always staying true to ourselves\, the most important thing for us is\nlongevity. That has been the case since the beginning of the band. We don’t just want a song that will be in the\ncharts for a week and then drop off. We want to create something that will last for decades.”\nIn the more immediate future\, though\, The HU have plotted a busy summer in Europe on their Incarnation tour\,\nwith slots at festivals such as France’s Hellfest\, Germany’s Graspop Metal Meeting and Denmark’s Roskilde.\nBeyond that\, they hope to return to the States\, and “tour around the world” to celebrate a whole new era of the\nband.\n“We are focusing on the performances and working out a brand-new setlist\,” teases Gala. “We want to play\nbigger venues so we can do extensive production\, and bring in some amazing elements of our culture\, and play\nthese ideas to our fans. And\, as well as our third album\, we have some amazing ideas for another album\nalready!”\nDiese Show wird von Star FM präsentiert.
