The Hu who they are the coolest awesomest band on the planet they keep getting better over time and if you ever have the opportunity to see them live take it. The musical instruments include Morin Khuur aka horse head fiddle, Tovshuur and their genre is called HUNNU Rock. Some other videos to check out are Yuve Yuve Yu, The Great Chinggis Khaan, This Is The Mongol , Some of their videos have English subtitles if you turn on the closed captions. They also have songs with some English speaking artists such as Song Of Women with Lizzie Hale from Halestorm, a remix of Wolf Totem with Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach. They also have a song from Star Wars Called Sugaan Essena from a video game. Actually this is based on a 19 century war chant.

Became a Humaniac and followed everything since then. Culminating in driving 2000kms to Brisbane Australia to see them live March 17 2020 which ended up being their final Concert worldwide because of covid. Amazing concert, best l have ever been to. Their first album came out Sept 13 2019, it has been the only CD in my car since that day. Please do other HU songs,

WOW! Thank you for posting this, although I've got a sore throat just from listening to it!

[@Sputryk]

Superb song. Fabulous rhythm and arrangement. Sensational stuff. Bought their album, Gereg, a while back - a really worthy purchase, though Wolf Totem and Yuve Yuve Yu are the two standout tracks. First encountered throat singing on a Frank Zappa recording - Dance Me This - and The Hu's throat singing is quite tame by comparison, though nonetheless superbly adapted to the music. Love it! You might, given Wolf is more modern than the usual GenX material, also fancy a listen to these few that also fall outwith the usual: Three Ships of Berik - Therion (it's a two-part song, and is best listened to with both parts segued); and, Paradise (What About Us) - Within Temptation featuring Tarja Turunen (I consider it the standard bearer for the whole symphonic rock genre); and, Fantasia - Stratovarius, possibly the masters of the same genre.

[@russelmurphy4868]

The biker club are The Mongolian Choppers Brotherhood out of Ulaan Bataar. We tend to consider them to be the REAL Mongols MC! Great bunch of fellows, or so I am told. We also consider them to be the modern day incarnation of the Mongol Horde, which is the whole point of juxtaposing them with traditional Mongol warriors. And if you liked this, you should check out "Sugaan Essena", the song they did for "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order."

[@altangerelbujil1010]

[@alphaomega7191]

Glad to see you back. What I would recommend is take a look at some of the other reactors and see the names of songs that haven't been blocked when they have reacted - it will give you a read on bands that it's safer to react to without the blocking issues. Also react to other songs by bands/artists you have already reacted too as you know they are unlikely to be blocked. As for the Mongolian throat singing - those guys conquered pretty much all of Asia into Europe 700 odd years ago and had amazing armor and horse archers so the bikie look actually fits pretty well as culturally it's a fairly obvious evolution of their traditional cultural elements. My favorite Mongol has to be Princess Khutulun - Born around 1260 and raised with her 14 brothers, Khutulun excelled at horse riding, archery and wrestling, with the latter arguably the source of her reputation. Khutulun refused to marry unless the prospective husband could beat her in wrestling and it is said that she never lost, and even when her family told her to, instinct took over. Her suitors had to wager horses for the opportunity to fight and she is said to have amassed a stable of 10,000 from her victories, as large as any emperor of the time. She eventually married for love without the wrestling according to legend. Such reports come from the writing of Marco Polo and Persian writer Rashad al-Din, who travelled through Asia at the time and given both those guys reputation for embellishing or outright lying a lot of it could be made up but if even partly true she was a real bad-ass. She is supposedly the inspiration for the main character in Pucini's Turandot.

This was awesome when I first heard it, and over time has become even more awesome. It's the threatening, menacing, thrumming rhythm that does it, tying all the separate parts together beautifully. It throttles you and suffocates you, leaving you breathless by the end but wanting to repeat the experience again and again. And you do, like an addiction. Must get around to buying their second album; though I'm not expecting it to compete with this monster.
