Fresh from sharing the stage with Iron Maiden in the the UK and standing at
the cusp of what is promising to be their boldest creative chapter yet, Hunnu
Rock pioneers THE HU — Galaa (morin khuur, throat singing); Jaya (tumur
khuur, tsuur, throat singing); Enkush (morin khuur, throat singing); and
Temka (tovshuur, throat singing) — are pleased to unveil their third full-length album, HUN, out today, July 24 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC. Get HUN here.
While the digital and physical album is out now, the vinyl version and box set
(details further below) will see release on September 11.
HUN — which translates to “human” in their native language — holds special
meaning for the band. Originally called Between the Heaven and Earth, the
album was intended to be understood as something natural and true, akin to
human life on Earth, which is why they chose HUN to best represent it.
“In our third album, we tested many boundaries and used different techniques
to perfect the combination of traditional instruments with heavy metal music
genres,” says Jaya. “The concept of the HUN album comes from universal
experiences we all go through collectively as humans in this world. Our hope is
to remind our listeners the importance of introspection through variety of
songs from slow to fast rhythmic songs.”
Alongside the album release, the band has shared the video for “HORSEMEN.”
Watch it here.
“‘Horsemen’ is inspired by the legendary Mongolian warriors who once rode
across much of the known world,” the band says. “These warriors were known
for their discipline, intelligence, courage, and incredible skill. They were called the ‘Army of the Heavens’ because of their unmatched mobility and strength. This song celebrates their spirit and honors the qualities that made them legendary. It’s a reminder that true power comes from discipline, wisdom, and unity.”
The HU’s previously released the single “Lost Soul” (Feat. Jonny Hawkins of
NOTHING MORE). It marks the first collaboration between the Gold-certified
global phenomenon and NOTHING MORE. Listen to “Lost Soul” (Feat. Jonny
Hawkins of NOTHING MORE) here and watch the video here. The track is
currently No. 17 on the active rock charts.
HUN finds The HU, who were first tipped by NPR back in 2019, at the peak of
their powers thus far. They expand the scope of their signature Hunnu Rock
with 11 tracks steeped in the lore and legend of Mongolia, yet uplifted with
universal ambition. It’s as epic, enthralling, and enigmatic and it opens the
gateway into their world.
“We took our time to do this right, and we’re so glad that we’re almost ready to release what we have worked on these past few years,” the band says. “Now,
we are also focusing on the performances and working out a brand-new setlist.
We want to play bigger venues so we can do extensive production, and bring in
some amazing elements of our culture, and play these ideas to our fans. And,
as well as our third album, we have some amazing ideas for another album
already!”
With press praise for HUN piling up from the varied sources such as
Crunchyroll, Joy Sauce, Metal Injection, Blabbermouth, Kerrang!, and Revolver,
The HU continue to leave a cross-cultural musical mark.
