Genre Folk / Pagan / Viking
Country Mongolia
Played at GMM 2019

In 2019 the Metal Dome was filled to capacity for the GMM debut of The Hu. Formed in 2016 in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar, The Hu – derived from a long-gone Mongolian empire known as the Hunna, or the Huns for us Westerners -  are a band that you either love or hate. They play Hunnu rock, a unique local genre that combines metal with traditional Mongolian folk instruments and a multi-octave droning technique knows as throat singing. Before long, extensive touring helped them conquer strange lands at a rate to rival Ghengis Khan. They completed their first European tour even before the release of their full debut ‘The Gereg’(2019) and Papa Roach, Metallica and Halestorm are in their corner: Halesstorm’s Lzzy Hale featured on the track ‘Song of Women’ and The Hu put their unique spin on Metallica’s ‘Sad But True’. Brace yourselves for what will undoubtedly be another standout performance in more ways than one. #GMM25
