While their legions of fans anxiously await a new album, innovative Mongolian rock group and global phenomenon The HU—Galaa, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush—today (June 13) have released a new digital EP ECHOS OF THUNDER via Better Noise Music. It contains alternate versions of three standout songs from their album, RUMBLE OF THUNDER—“This Is Mongol,” “Bii Biyelgee,” and “Triangle”—with special guests including members of Alice In Chains, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Neon Trees, as well as ROME.

ECHOS OF THUNDER is available now on digital outlets HERE. The visualizer video for “This Is Mongol (Warrior Souls) (Feat. William DuVall from Alice In Chains and Trevor McNevan from Thousand Foot Krutch) – Teerawk Remix” can be viewed HERE.

“This Is Mongol” receives a dynamic remix treatment by Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, working under his remix alias Teerawk. Teerawk brings his signature energy to the track, layering in additional vocals and lyrics that both complement and expand upon William DuVall’s (Alice In Chains) original vision. The ECHOS OF THUNDER EP also contains “Bii Biyelgee,” featuring Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, and “Triangle,” featuring ROME, offering listeners a diverse and compelling reimagining of the original album’s spirit. The EP also includes the original versions of “This Is Mongol,” “Bii Biyelgee,” and “Triangle.”

“I am glad that our label partners at Better Noise Music suggested this EP because, as I like to say, from Classic Rock to Heavy Metal, our genre of Hunnu Rock has no limits,” says frontman Galaa. “The ECHOS OF THUNDER EP presents an opportunity for more collaborations with different artists to expand on our original music. We hope our loyal fans will enjoy these new versions of songs from the RUMBLE OF THUNDER album!”

In touring news, the European leg of The HU’s headlining “Incarnation” world tour kicked off June 6 in Maastricht, NL. It will coincide with a series of shows supporting Scandinavian folk band Heilung on their final tour. THE HU will also appear on several of Europe’s largest heavy music festivals during the run, including Hellfest and Graspop Metal Meeting. See the full list of dates below. Tickets are on sale now via THE HU’s website HERE.

The HU released RUMBLE OF THUNDER in 2022 via Better Noise Music while continuing to tour across the globe, including shows in Japan and festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Download Festival and more. In November 2022, The HU became the first-ever rock/metal band to receive the prestigious UNESCO “Artist of Peace” Designation at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, France by UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. Previous recipients include Celine Dion, Shirley Bassey, Sarah Brightman, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, and World Orchestra For Peace. They’ve brought Mongolian music to the forefront with their unique brand of Hunnu Rock which blends traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat singing with contemporary rock music. With over 900 million all-time streams, 300 million video views, #1 charting albums, multiple sold-out headlining tours, prestigious government honors and awards, collaborations with several of rock’s biggest names, and featured music on video games including EA Games’ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, THE HU have cemented their status as a global powerhouse.

Innovative Mongolian rock group and global phenomenon THE HU will continue to dominate audiences worldwide in 2025 as they today (December 10) announce dates for the European leg of their headlining “Incarnation” World Tour. Set to kick off in early June, the tour will coincide with a series of shows with THE HU supporting Scandinavian folk outfit Heilung on the band’s final tour.

Tickets are on sale this Friday, December 13 via THE HU’s website HERE.

THE HU recently released a ‘hunnu rock’-styled take on Iron Maiden’s classic single “The Trooper.” It was aligned with the start of their North American tour directly supporting the metal legends earlier this fall. Stream the “raucous, adrenaline-fueled” (NME) cover now HERE and watch the music video HERE. “If they had amplification in ‘Game of Thrones,’ there would have been a band like this,’ exclaimed Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (11/8/24). “The Hu is described as folk-metal but they sounded a lot more like Motörhead or Metallica while mixing in traditional string instruments the morin khuur and tovshuur, with throat-singing growls and howls on top.”

THE HU have brought Mongolian music to the forefront with their unique brand of Hunnu Rock which blends traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat singing with contemporary rock music. With over 830 million all-time streams, 330 million video views, #1 charting albums, multiple sold-out headlining tours, prestigious government honors and awards, collaborations with several of rock’s biggest names, and featured music on video games including EA Games’ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, THE HU have cemented their status as a global powerhouse.

They use traditional Mongolian instruments; it’s absolutely fantastic.”

Mongolian rock sensation THE HU have engaged audiences worldwide with their unique brand of “hunnu rock’ since their formation in 2016. The unparalleled group combine traditional Mongolian throat singing and ancient native instrumentation with contemporary western hard rock. THE HU have dominated the charts, including two #1 spots on Billboard’s World Album and Top New Artist Albums charts, sold-out headlining tours across the globe (including U.S., Europe and U.K), and appearances at some of the world’s biggest music festivals such as Download, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury.

THE HU have announced the digital and CD release of their live album, THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY, recorded from their groundbreaking performance at the legendary Glastonbury festival in Somerset, U.K. in 2023. Due June 7 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC, THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY features 11 songs, including the band’s RIAA Gold-certified hit “Wolf Totem,” which to date has received 98 million video views, as well as popular tracks from their 2019 breakthrough debut The Gereg and its follow-up album Rumble Of Thunder (2022). It also includes the track “Eseerin Vasahina,” which THE HU wrote for EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game. A limited-edition vinyl release of THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY was released exclusively via Record Store Day (April 20) which included seven songs from the upcoming full-length live album. Pre-order/save THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY on CD and digitally now at https://thehu.ffm.to/liveatglastonbury.

Here’s some praise from critics of their Glastonbury 2023 performance:

“There aren’t many bands causing excitement in the metal world right now that are anything quite like The HU…Within seconds of the band lurching into ‘The Gereg,’ heads across the field are banging, smiles are spreading across faces and it becomes immediately clear that Glasto is set to be the latest territory to fall under the Hu’s spell.”
–METAL HAMMER (6/26/23)

“This band are powerful…one of the most creative and exciting sets for heavy music lovers in 2023.”
– KERRANG! (6/26/23)

“The Hu are an Ulaanbaatar-based eight-piece – some of them in ceremonial dress, some in leather dusters – who play a mixture of modern and traditional instruments, guitars rubbing up against tovshuur horsehead fiddles. Their songs follow suit, resembling Black Album-era Metallica if James Hetfield had more of a penchant for Tuvan throat singing.”
– The Guardian (6/25/23)

THE HU have today shared the live shot performance video of their marching, chant-inducing single “Tatar Warrior” filmed during their recent U.S. co-headlining tour with British rockers Asking Alexandria. Watch “Tatar Warrior” streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE.

“During our performance at the Glastonbury festival in 2023, the crowds were extra lively and energetic, so in turn we were bursting with energy,” collectively states THE HU. “We are delighted to be sharing that live performance recording with you. Check out the track ‘Tatar Warrior’ that caused a massive crowd surf and got everyone chanting.”

THE HU will bring their awe-inspiring live performance to audiences across North America this fall as direct support to heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN from October 4 to November 17. Earlier this week THE HU announced a headlining “HISHIGTEN” European Tour. See all dates listed below. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.thehuofficial.com/tour-1.

BETTER NOISE MUSIC Reveal RECORD STORE DAY (4/20) Exclusive Releases From DIRTY HEADS and THE HU

DT: APRIL 19, 2024

FM: KELLY WALSH, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

BETTER NOISE MUSIC
CELEBRATE
RECORD STORE DAY
(SATURDAY, APRIL 20)
WITH EXCLUSIVE RELEASES FROM
SOCAL ALTERNATIVE ROCK OUTFIT
DIRTY HEADS
AND
MONGOLIAN ROCK GROUP
THE HU

In coordination with Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20, BETTER NOISE MUSIC have announced two special offerings from label acts DIRTY HEADS and THE HU which will be available exclusively at all participating record stores (see locations HERE).

Southern California alternative rock outfit DIRTY HEADS will release a stunning 4-disc vinyl collector’s edition box set of their critically acclaimed 2022 album, MIDNIGHT CONTROL. The four discs’ artwork was created by Dave Foral and then assembled and rearranged by DIRTY HEADS percussionist Jon Olazabal who was assisted by John Wellman. They will contain all the tracks on the album’s digital deluxe version which was released in July 2023 which includes the 10 original tracks and 13 bonus tracks. The bonus tracks include acoustic versions of “Rescue Me,” (which spent an entire month at #1 on the Alternative radio charts), their take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit “Life’s Been Good,” which DIRTY HEADS performed on national TV on NBC’s “The Today Show and “Island Glow,” three Lo-Fi versions of album tracks, and three previously unreleased songs. Each MIDNIGHT CONTROL COLLECTOR’S EDITION box set will be unique as it is ethically packaged using 100% certified recycled papers and recycled vinyl.

“The ‘Midnight Control’ album is so special to us, it represents several years of our careers and our lives,” says vocalist Jared Watson. “After releasing the original version of the album last summer, we found ourselves going back and playing with some of the tracks that weren’t included on the original. Those songs suddenly came to life and by the end of the year, we knew that we had to get them out to our fans. So that’s what we’ve been doing this year with ‘Rescue Me,’ ‘John Linen’ and the new version of ‘Island Glow’ with our friends Monsieur Periné. Now that we’re back on the road, it felt like the perfect time to get the rest of these songs out so our fans can dig into them this summer. We’re especially stoked about the Lo-Fi tracks, they’re so sick!”

Catch DIRTY HEADS on a co-headlining tour this summer with Slightly Stoopid. The band will also be seen headlining the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO on July 1 and will also make a stop at Beachlife Festival in Redondo Beach on May 3.

The band—who blend traditional Mongolian instruments and throat singing with contemporary sounds into a unique sonic profile that they call “Hunnu Rock”—have sold-out worldwide headlining tours and appeared at the world’s biggest music festivals and recently announced they will join heavy metal icons IRON MAIDEN as direct support on the band’s upcoming North American leg of their “The Future Past World Tour 2024” this fall.
