The HU

The Huns are coming. The HU is the most exotic metal band on earth. The four-man group comes from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and blends Western hard rock with the traditional music of their homeland, using typical Central Asian throat singing and local instruments such as the Morin Khuur (a two-stringed fiddle) and the tovshuur (a Mongolian guitar). The HU’s (Mongolian for ‘human’) first music videos went viral and led to the group appearing in American billboard lists. From then on, they’ve made rapid progress. Their first album ‘The Gereg’ reached #38 of the Ultratop in Belgium and in November 2022 they filled up Ancienne Belgique with their ‘hunnu rock’. Despite their youth, they have been awarded the Order of Genghis Khan, Mongolia’s highest state award.
