The HU

The HU stand as a singular force in contemporary music, hailing from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and pioneering a sound referred to as Hunnu Rock. Fusing alternative metal with Central Asian throat singing, the group channels an ancient spirit into a captivating modern context. Since their formation in 2016, The HU have brought Mongolian folk rock to stages across the globe, earning a passionate following for their high-energy performances and evocative compositions.

Their discography highlights an adventurous approach to genre, evidenced by releases such as the powerful single "The Real You" (2026) and the vivid "Echos of Thunder" EP (2025). Capturing the raw energy of their concerts, they also issued "Live at Glastonbury" in 2024, offering listeners an immersive glimpse into their dynamic live shows. Standout tracks including "Black Thunder" and "Bii Biyelgee" exemplify the band's command of both ancestral tradition and contemporary ferocity, while their expanding catalogue continues to intrigue discerning fans of both metal and world music.

Recent highlights include headlining the WARRIOR CHANT TOUR across major UK venues—such as O2 Academy Brixton in London, O2 Apollo in Manchester, and UEA in Norwich—accompanied by special guests SKÁLD.
