All The Hu members have a classical background. They are so awesome. As a Mongolian, I really like your reaction. Next time please react to "The Great Chinggis Khaan" or "Sugaan Essena"
I’m a huge fan of The Hu. Their music transcends perfectly, despite being so unique and in Mongolian. When they ‘whistle’ as well as sing at the same time is mind blowing.
If you check Song of Women out, do pay attention to the Sygyt whistles-style going on near the middle and end of the song, still the most elusive style for me as an informal student, some days I have it and some I don't....but if the human soul has a sound....it is unequivocally that.
Yes, I'm not the greatest fan of the collaboration with Jackoby Shaddix, as it seemed too skewed to him, with them backing him... on their own song. But the collaborations with Lzzy Hale, and From Ashes to New are both true collaborations. Other Mongolian singers.. Tengger/Tengri (Heaven😢) and Ayunga/Ayanga (Big brother). 😢
Their song "Yuuve Yuuve Yu" is great too. A higher tempo beat, makes you want to dance. They also did a song for the soundtrack of Star Wars: Fallen Order called "Sugaan Essena" that is a really good one. You can tell why they picked these guys for a scifi game soundtrack, they sound almost otherworldly.
Love this band. There's something that is so primal to their music that just grabs me by the guts. Their first album is good, but man their second album is absolute fire! No sophomore slump for these guys.
The fact they were all recruited by a popular Mongolian Rock music producer on a whim to create the next BIG thing in Mongolian music, man didn't know he didn't hit Gold with these fellas, he found Diamonds.
This is when they got NOTICED and went viral. They are totally professional level and have continued to improve in music and their production. They did an OST for one of the biggest Star Wars video games. They have also covered Metallica's song, Sad But True, but The Hu translated the lyrics to Mongolian. The cover has a sound somewhat like Wolf Totem because they kept their traditional instruments in it as well as singing in their own language. Metallica had only the highest praise for the cover these guys made. It's truly an amazing song and then The Hu made a FANTASTIC Music Video for it that tells a different story than the original MV told.
@@raltusgaming Yup. And how short-sighted greed can be damaging to the environment and mess everything up for everybody. A plea for change before it's too late.
OOOOOH I KNEW I HEARD THE BAND'S VOICE SOMEWHERE. Ty so much for clearing that up, I always forgot to check up on who did the first music you hear in the game xD
I saw them live & it was amazing!! I'm friends with the venue manager & he said that has been the only band completely without ego & were very humble & gracious. They asked him if it would be OK when they tour America again, to come be hosted in that venue again. His jaw was dropping His reaction, "HELL YEAH"
They are outstanding live. Saw them open for Halestorm last year. One of 3 songs redone with new English lyrics and guest singers. This with Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix. Yuve Yuve Yu with Danny Case(From Ashes to New) and Song of Women with Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) Traditional Mongolian instruments combined with standard guitar, bass, and drums. And the rock/metal combined with Mongolian folk. 8 total members, 4 regular and 4 touring. Gala and Enkush - Morin Khuur and throat singing. Jaya- throat singing , Tumur Hhuur (jaw harp), Tsuur (end blown flute) Temka -Tovshuur(3 string played like a guitar) 4 touring members Ono -percussion Jamba - guitar Davaa - bass Odko - drums
I was working in a mental health facility and struggling to connect with one of the residents with multiple mental health and intellectual disabilities. he was also unable to walk and quite isolated from the other residents. I struggled to find a 'key' to building connection with him and one day as I was walking to his unit, i heard his metal music. I went back and grabbed a lap top and introduced him to the HU and this song. Instant connection between us after that. He became a HU addict.
Saw The Hu at Tivoli in Brisbane Australia just before the 'pandemic'. Last band to play live in Brisbane for a couple of years thanks to the mandates. They were awesome. Can't wait to see them again.
1st show or 2nd? I was at the 2nd show. Then 2022 seen them in Melbourne and Adelaide.. this year 2024 l got 2 tickets for Knotfest, for me and my granddaughter, but l got sick and my grandsons girlfriend used my ticket. Waiting for 2025
You are analyzing the vocals , but I see in your eyes and expressions, you had the same reaction that I had the very first time I heard them. It reaches within you and literally you are enthralled in its magic, I felt almost literally empowered and filled with this energy inside, that's what it did to me, what it made me feel. Lovely seeing someone else's appreciation of it, especially when my friends could not at all appreciate it . BTW I hope you've seen the rest of their videos, they have become one of my favorites to listen to.
The Hu are amazing, their music really hits a strange, almost "primal" button in the soul that feels like it tethers us all together in a powerful, ancient art. Really, I think throat singing can be beautiful or powerful depending on how it's done, and I really love when others have an appreciation for it. It blows my mind when people think it's ugly or if they mock it, I'm so glad you were just so taken by the song you had to go back entirely and hear the beginning again!
I too loved this for the sheer originality of the sound. I looked at those bikers bopping away in the backround and thought "O yeah, they're Ghengis Khans home boys ! "
part of what's especially interesting to me is the ability to switch into it so seamlessly. since kargyraa (the style he's using here) requires a fairly specific tongue position in the back of your mouth (as far as I understand it anyway - there may be multiple methods. that's how I do it), some sounds like /k/ or /t/ are either impossible or require an immense amount of tongue control. to sing actual lyrics and immediately fall back into throat singing AND hit the right note with both the voice and the overtone is extremely impressive. clearly years and years and years of practice there.
My two year old grandson loves The Hu. He dances to them all day. I have heard them so much that he expects me to do the throat singing on command. I do my best.
Saw these guys in concert last year and it was an experience I'll never forget. You'll have goosebumps the whole show, they're just such a powerhouse in their own respect.
Saw then playing live a couple of weeks ago in Scotland and if you think they sound amazing just wait till you FEEL the music....absolutely unbelievable!
Her shocked and confused wonderment at the first play through. That's why music is so special. It speaks to people even if the words are not understood.
This is the best type of reaction. Honest, succinct, and it allows the song to be the star. Thank you. I've been a Hu fan for a few years. I've taken my sons to see them 3 times and we are going again in September. Hu are truly an experience. They are different studio to acoustic to live and it's amazing.
The Hu are amazing. This song is off their first album, "The Gereg", which is great. And their second album "Rumble Of Thunder" is even better! "This Is Mongol" and "Black Thunder" have several good live videos on RUclips, and usually get a good crowd response. "Shireg Shireg" and "Mother Nature" are two of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard by any artist, and also tend to sound good when performed live.
Been a massive fan of these guys for years and finally got to see them live with Megadeth a few months back. Was one of the best concerts I've been to. Let's not forget that The Hu also created a language for the song they did for the Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order game.
Wow! That singing with that music was perfect. I prefer to be able to understand the lyrics in a song but the growly vocals in a song called Wolf Totem was perfect. Now I want to hear more!
I was made aware of The Hu about 2 years ago and I've been following them ever since. I got to see them in concert this past summer. They put on quite a show, and it was awesome. I absolutely love The Hu!
I seen them live at Buzzfest, Houston, 5/28/22. All day event. Short set. However, you listen with your body, not so much your ears. Lots of energy coming from these amazing gentlemen. True immersion.
The surprise on your face when they started singing was priceless! And then after the inititial shock value subsided, it was enjoyable watching you nodding your head to the captivating drumbeat in a tribal like chanting feel. I did laugh out loud thinking "They got her, she's hooked and now a fan of The Hu!" I know I'm late to the party on this one and I agree to a lot of the other comments before me. Please react to The HU feat Lzzy Hale of Halestorm | Song of Women. One little suggestion, react and release this on Mother's Day 2024, I feel that would be awesome!
I saw The Hu at the Download Festival UK 2019, at the time they only had 3 songs on RUclips and their album The Gereg had just come out. I was down the front for their set. The band had a major WTF! moment when the crowd of 5000 people in the tent they were playing in started singing along to Yuve Yuve Yu. As this was one of their first gigs outside Mongolia and it was at the major UK festival for rock music.
These guys are even more amazing live!! I had the privilege to see them, and they’re so good and it’s obvious they are having the time of their lives! Love that you loved it 😍
Bethany, loved your reaction to this, I took a dive into this about a year ago, and discovered many styles depending on what country it came from. I kindly suggest a singer, Aryuna Nimaeve from the Buryatia region of Russia (east of Lake Baikal). "Erbed Sookhar", a Buryat folk song form what I gathered. The video is well done. She has done some concerts as well. Have fun!
The timbres of the traditional instruments are so intriguing and fresh. I enjoyed the chanting and the throat singing also. It evokes for me a bygone time before all our electronic amusements, when getting together to make music was a major pastime. Nice reaction, Bethany!
Check out their new video, Mother Nature with the LP. You can find a listing of The Hu in concert on Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
The first reaction video that kept letting it play, joy on your face and all (thank you for that). Yeah, the end you were vibrating in a place you weren't expecting... same thing happens to us guys in a different place... we're built more for war and this is the song for it.
I just discovered them on Friday when I was on Tic Tok and this was the first song I ever heard from them. I have been listening to them a lot since I discovered them on Friday. I believe they just started a US Tour or are about start it. I am planning on going to see them live when they are in my city where I reside. I have a band you should check out that does throat singing and they are called NYTT Land. The song you should check out by them is called U-Gra. I have been listening to them for about a year and a half or so.
Saw them recently live ,,,, O M G UTTERLY BLOWN AWAY ,,, they will MAKE HISTORY AT GLASTO ,,,, TRIBAL BRILLIANCE,,,,, seen hundreds of bands ,,, but they are truly INSPIRING!!!!! Watch them at Glasto ,,, BLOW THE STAGE AWAY HU !!!! Xx G
I worked at a music venue and was asked to work the show because they sold more tickets the day of the show. Had never heard of them, fell in love with them. Have seen them in an outdoor venue since - and that was even better. They are dynamic live. I have not heard a bad song yet.
They're also amazing live on stage. I heard them first when they were part of a Star Wars game music. I've loved this music for a few years LOVE FROM ICELAND
Mongolian Throat Singing is so amazing, rock on!!!! MELODY of Liliac does Mongolian Throat Singing in their song Vertigo, live, she is unbelievable, so is the Hu!!!!
If you get the chance, see them live. They're amazing. There's a droning, hypnotic quality that just gets into your blood at the same time you want to head bang cuz it's still metal AF.
So many of my layers are provoked - Metalhead at my core, I LOVE THIS! As a professional warrior and amateur historian, I'm reminded that once upon a time, in many parts of the world, when someone in the village screamed "the Mongols are coming!"...this is who (HU) they were talking about... And, as a lifelong biker, I deeply embrace this! I love your reactions and look forward to watching as you continue to enjoy your journey! rl 🤘👹🤘
The first time I ever heard The Hu was live at a 5 finger death punch concert and my wife and just looked at each other and said, "Holy shit. These guys are fucking awesome."
The beauty is in watching your authentic reaction; you're not trying to get attention or over-animating to show the audience your reaction (it's really distasteful watching other people's reaction videos--literally, my dinner crawl up my throat🤮) And your honest confession that you've done enough research gains you credibility. Thank YOU. Some of the short descriptions were en-point, and truly--less is much much more.
I love how this song makes it sound like there's 50 people in the band, from all the instruments being played to all the layered vocals giving the impression of more singers.
I just figured it out!! I love them because they are so intense. It just draws you in and makes you feel there music. Yes it makes you want to be Mongolian and just join there tribe. 💞
Good morning if I recall correctly the ladies from Nytt Land have tutorials on their youtube channel. They are a fantastic nordic/siberian folk metal band.
"Throat singing" or overtone singing is fascinating to listen to . Experiencing it live is mind blowing , when done right you can feel the sound even without amplification .
You might want to also check out Heilung. There a Scandinavian Folk group that also dabbles in throat singing. So all of their songs are of norse culture. In fact they do have a live performance of their song “In Maijan” that you would have fun breaking down.
Great reaction!! Love The Hu!! If you like the throat singing another band to check out is Otyken. I would suggest their songs, Storm, Genesis, or Legends to start.

It is the sign of good music, when something can transcend cultural boundaries
OMG! the look on your face when the song actually started. Outstanding! As stated earlier, "Song of Women" is a MUST featuring Lizzy Hale.
I'll check it out!
I second the motion to watch Song of Women. It's a great blend of languages and genres.
If you check Song of Women out, do pay attention to the Sygyt whistles-style going on near the middle and end of the song, still the most elusive style for me as an informal student, some days I have it and some I don't....but if the human soul has a sound....it is unequivocally that.
Yes, I'm not the greatest fan of the collaboration with Jackoby Shaddix, as it seemed too skewed to him, with them backing him... on their own song.

They also did a song for the soundtrack of Star Wars: Fallen Order called "Sugaan Essena" that is a really good one.

Love this band. There's something that is so primal to their music that just grabs me by the guts. Their first album is good, but man their second album is absolute fire! No sophomore slump for these guys.
Saw a bio about them, most if not all are music/cultural teachers at university in Mongolian capitol. They're phenomenal live!
The fact they were all recruited by a popular Mongolian Rock music producer on a whim to create the next BIG thing in Mongolian music, man didn't know he didn't hit Gold with these fellas, he found Diamonds.
This is when they got NOTICED and went viral. They are totally professional level and have continued to improve in music and their production. They did an OST for one of the biggest Star Wars video games.
They have also covered Metallica's song, Sad But True, but The Hu translated the lyrics to Mongolian.

Yes!! I had no idea there was a specific tongue position, but it's amazing how he switches back and forth between the two styles.
Respect!!

I stumbled across these guys about a year ago....and I was hooked. like you said, the intensity.
Great reaction!! Saw the Hu in a small venue in Pensacola a while back and they were awesome live! Catch them if they come near you!
They made me learn how to throat sing. I didn't even know it was a thing till I heard them for the first time!
Primal. Tribal. Hypnotic. Love The Hu!!
Enjoying the channel. I caught them live in Denver this past October. It was an excellent show.
Fascinating use of modern & traditional instruments and imagery. The rhythmic beat was also quite catchy.
This track is epic on a good sound system, I love listening to it in the car

I knew it their Mongolians, I cant understand the song, but it's awesome,.I like it
Your reaction at some of these songs are amazing to watch.
What a pure and wise take, you gave to this music. Classy response indeed. Love this video :)
I worked at a music venue and was asked to work the show because they sold more tickets the day of the show. Had never heard of them, fell in love with them. Have seen them in an outdoor venue since - and that was even better. They are dynamic live. I have not heard a bad song yet.
Love the Hu - that throat singing and those traditional instruments with metal works so well.
I saw these guys LIVE! They opened for Megadeth and Five Finger Death Punch. Fantastic performance by the Hu for sure
They're also amazing live on stage. I heard them first when they were part of a Star Wars game music. I've loved this music for a few years
LOVE FROM ICELAND
Your face was so expressive. You looked so surprised. Loved your reaction.
Mongolian Throat Singing is so amazing, rock on!!!! MELODY of Liliac does Mongolian Throat Singing in their song Vertigo, live, she is unbelievable, so is the Hu!!!!
If you get the chance, see them live. They're amazing. There's a droning, hypnotic quality that just gets into your blood at the same time you want to head bang cuz it's still metal AF.
So many of my layers are provoked -
Metalhead at my core, I LOVE THIS!
As a professional warrior and amateur historian, I'm reminded that once upon a time, in many parts of the world, when someone in the village screamed "the Mongols are coming!"...this is who (HU) they were talking about...
And, as a lifelong biker, I deeply embrace this!
I love your reactions and look forward to watching as you continue to enjoy your journey!

🤘👹🤘
Live performance recommendation i dont have now unfortunately. But this June (2023) they have a gig in France, hellfest.
I’m amazed with them! Love the instruments they play. I will see them in concert.
I was lucky enough to see the Hu live a couple of months ago. They are absolutely awesome - if you have the chance to see them live, do it
I saw them LIVE, Blew me away!
The first time I ever heard The Hu was live at a 5 finger death punch concert and my wife and just looked at each other and said, "Holy shit. These guys are fucking awesome."
I absolutely love The Hu. Thank you so much for the reaction and your insights.
Music makes us happy even though we are not the same country
A treat for the future - The Hu ft Lzzy Hale. Don't even need the title. Won't be live but still an amazing performance.
The expression of shock when the vocals start :)
Yes, his harmonics are great! Love listening to this! Your initial reaction was priceless!
The beauty is in watching your authentic reaction; you're not trying to get attention or over-animating to show the audience your reaction (it's really distasteful watching other people's reaction videos--literally, my dinner crawl up my throat🤮) And your honest confession that you've done enough research gains you credibility. Thank YOU. Some of the short descriptions were en-point, and truly--less is much much more.
I love how this song makes it sound like there's 50 people in the band, from all the instruments being played to all the layered vocals giving the impression of more singers.
love this band i really enjoyed your feedback
Good choice 👍 I just came across these guys on RUclips. That beat goes deep into the soul 🤗My new favorite band💯
💚🖤 love your facial expressions when you're really getting into it. haha super cute and fun!
Bethany, I really liked watching your facial expressions.
I just figured it out!! I love them because they are so intense. It just draws you in and makes you feel there music. Yes it makes you want to be Mongolian and just join there tribe. 💞
I love the look on your face the first 3 minutes, like all the rest of us the first time we heard them
I had never heard of this group until this past Wednesday when I saw them in Tacoma opening for Iron Maiden. I was blown away and now I want more!
Good morning if I recall correctly the ladies from Nytt Land have tutorials on their youtube channel. They are a fantastic nordic/siberian folk metal band.
Honest reaction, thank you so much!
"Throat singing" or overtone singing is fascinating to listen to . Experiencing it live is mind blowing , when done right you can feel the sound even without amplification .
You might want to also check out Heilung. There a Scandinavian Folk group that also dabbles in throat singing. So all of their songs are of norse culture. In fact they do have a live performance of their song “In Maijan” that you would have fun breaking down.
Great reaction!! Love The Hu!! If you like the throat singing another band to check out is Otyken. I would suggest their songs, Storm, Genesis, or Legends to start.
