THE HU releases official video for 'Warrior Chant'
14-09-2026
Following from the release of their third full-length record “Hun” (digitally and on CD), Mongolian four-piece THE HU is presenting a new music video for the song “Warrior Chant” which was made available in March this year already ahead of the new album.
Watch “Warrior Chant” below.
THE HU — comprising Galbadrakh “Galaa” Tsendbaatar, Enkhsaikhan “Enkush” Batjargal, Nyamjantsan “Jaya” Galsanjamts and Temuulen “Temka” Naranbaatar; and touring members Unumunkh “Ono” Maralkhuu, Jambaldorj “Jamba” Ayush, Odbayar “Odko” Gantumur and Nyamdavaa “Davaa” Byambaa — plays a distinct style the band has dubbed “Hunnu rock”, named for the nomadic Xiongnu empire.
Galaa, the lead throat singer of THE HU, commented: “‘Warrior Chant’ has our signature rhythm that our fans fell in love with and everyone who will listen and know us will say that it is our song.
“Our third album has bit of everything rhythm wise, and we see that as a progress of expanding the Hunnu rock genre. This song has the rhythm that is original to us and is rooted in Mongolian culture. Enkush and I focused on horse head fiddle solos by imitating the horse gait and you will hear the rhythm throughout the song. Of course Jaya perfected the rhythm by adding Mongolian wind instrument, Unu did heavy percussion drum throughout. Mongolian traditional instruments are heavily used on this song and our die hard fans are going to love it!”
Watch the reviously released “The Real You” below.
“The Real You” — produced by Dashka (Dashdondog Bayarmagnai) and mixed by five-time Grammy Award-winning producer, engineer, mixer, and musician Chris Lord-Alge — is available on all digital outlets and the video can be seen below.
“‘The Real You’ single is the representation of our forthcoming new album,” says THE HU‘s Temka (tovshuur player, throat singer). “While we have traditional songs that have our signature rhythm in our third album, there are few upbeat, fast songs such as this single. We recorded this song thinking of our ancestors, riding fast on the horse back through the landscape. Listen to this song to express the feelings you have buried inside and feel the overwhelming energy we pass through to you. Enjoy!”
“The Real You” is asking listeners to not judge others but focus on themselves and therefore become a better person. It’s derived from the Mongolian proverb “Don’t worry about what is on top of a person’s head, just worry about what is not on yours.” “The Real You” is sung in Mongolian, but listeners can feel the depth of its emotion and the ferocity of its intent with unflinching lyrics like “Will you keep slandering, gaslighting, menacing, and abusing?/Is it alright to keep enduring, fearing, and hiding?”
THE HU have passionately and unforgettably brought Mongolian music to the music frontlines. In November 2022, THE HU became the first-ever rock/metal band to receive the prestigious UNESCO “Artist For 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. With over 961 million all-time streams, 483 million video views, No.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.
