Aloha Everyone. Thanks for all the comments :) Just a clarification: some have said that I misspoke that MONGOLIA was a tiny island in the pacific. I said in the video that "I live on a tiny island". I may have mumbled that because, well, I'm old LOL.
You may have heard that they just released an incredible cover of Metallica's "Sad But True." But you may also appreciate the subtle beauty of their acoustic "Shireg, Shireg" video.
The Hu is such a wonderful addition to the Mongolian folk metal scene. But there are two bands that preceeded them that I highly recommend; Tengger Calvary and Nine Treasures. They are both wonderful and both paved the way for The Hu.
I had the privilege to see The Hu live at Aftershock Festival 2019. The festival is in Sacramento, CA. They sounded fantastic live. The sounds they create with their voices was incredible. I have a picture of them on the stage also. Was pretty amazing to see in person.
Man, I really appreciate your videos. I love your enthusiasm and positivity, as well as your thorough knowledge of music. Spread that love, you are a hero.
For something fun check RUclips for HU's in the kitchen. A series of videos of the band cooking traditional Mongolian meals while on tour around the world
Thanks for posting this Reaction to The Hu Band from Mongolia 🇲🇳. This MV definitely demonstrates the Respect ✊🏽 the Mongolian People have for their Leaders and Culture. It’s absolutely amazing 😉 and cinematic...all comments are relatable. The Morin Khur has two strings one from the Stallion and one from the Mare. I absolutely appreciate this MV as their are not many by the HU...but the Songs alone are certainly worth listening to...”The Gereg and The SAME”. You’ll never be disappointed to take the time to listen. Stay Safe and Positive.
The Hu use horse head fiddle and throat singing. But i think we have a another joker in mongolian traditional art. I will advice every one who love THE HU must check out mongolian traditional LONG SONG. uyhan zambuu tuviin naran by norovbanzad is the best long song ever.
This music stirs in all of us that primordial connection- to the land, to our collective human history, to each other. I believe this is why it has attracted so many, regardless of any presupposed language barrier. I fell in love with them in 2016 before they became widely known, for this reason. I found my inner Mongol.
I'd love to see you react to Kai Tangata by Alien Weaponry. They were just teens when they recorded that song and it is amazing. They are from New Zealand and it is sung in the native language of the Maori people.
I listen to The Hu when I'm overlanding in the Deserts of Arizona. Really gives that Nomadic feel when alone at night with a fire cooking my food under the stars. They have such a dynamic mix and the music totally envelopes you . I love these POV you're doing. Warning to all...avoid the radio play versions...papa roach can ruin anything
I love The Hu so much. That mongolian throat singing is the shiz. Could you take a listen toi The Architect by Haken? It's an incredible piece of music.
Thank you for a wonderful reaction video! Really happy that you can understand their ingenious mechanics that is their voice and music talents. The style they sing is Mongolian throat singing, a little different than the Tuvan throat singing. Other than that really great job doing research! If you want to understand the meaning of their song turn on the captions. The caption to their songs sometimes come early or sometimes later. :)
I love this channel... This is song/band is super cool!! First time hearing them but won’t be the last. I feel like I need to go conquer something now... Thank you for doing what you do! 🤘🤙
Mangolia is not Japan. This is not a little little island, but a huge country a little north of China. Once the Mongols conquered half of Eurasia, their possessions stretched from the Pacific Ocean to Poland and Romania in their current state. The song is dedicated to the Mongol khan or king(choose what ever you like), whose name was Chingiz, he was one of the greatest conquerors, like Alexander the Great.
it is more like Mongolian style of singing since it was originated in Altai mountain of Mongolia. Also, Tuva has been part of Mongolia since dawn of time until it was annexed by soviet russia 1930 circa.
@@bobrezendeassis Racism and brain wash from Soviet Union , propaganda against Mongols almost wipe out all Mongol tribes identity. Specially ones included in Russian territory Tuva ( Urianhai Mongol tribe) , Kalmiky and Buriads. Soviets used to teach children being Mongol or Mongol race is shame, they have to become Soviet citizen only.
@@bogdanbogdanoff5164 none of them speak their native tongue. Buriad, Kalmyk and Tuva. None of them. They even think themselves something else, rather than Mongol tribe. Do we Mongols care? 🤔 not sure. If they wanna be something else? Yeah, let them be. So, otherwords, yes they have been destroyed by Communist policy, but not yet completely.
There is an artist from Norway, he makes metal covers of songs from all genres. From WAP (NSFW) to Africa from Toto. 90% of his songs he performs entirely by himself from Bass, Drums, Guitar, Vocals + plus records and produces the videos... every friday he releases new videos. Leo Moracchioli . Toto Africa is one of his most popular but he does perform that with two other youtube musicians. Feel Good, Inc song doesn't show his versatility but shows more of his silliness in the videos. A feature most enjoy from his songs is that he doesn't just terrorize the songs into metal he actually keeps the original rhythm and adds a metal edge.
There's another tuvan group huun huur tu. Amazing, but more traditional. They did an album with a female choir called the Bulgarian voices. Absolutely amazing. I think you'd like it.
Hello from a new supporter. As I have seen The Hu live, I can say that the sound engineers do a great job by raising the singers volume and of the horse head fiddles. Electric guitars and drums do not take over too much. It's really a great sound, that get's you. Basic, down to earth, a bit archaic.
Hi Geebz, the Hu are awesome, their song Wolf Totem is great too and their recent cover of Sad But True by Metallica. Other songs you should check out : - Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden Of Earthly Delights Walk In Darkness - A Way To The Stars Beast In Black - Blind and Frozen Orden Ogan - The Things We Believe In Unleash The Archers - Awakening Sabaton - Bismarck Cheers, stay safe.
Another video, another comment from your truly requesting “Sons of Winter and Stars” (LIVE from Sonic Pump studios). You may me thinking - man, this guy is persistent. Sure am! But it is worth it! Promise that you’ll love the song and band as soon as it reaches your ears. Thanks again and fingers crossed!
I love these guys. Saw a couple days ago you really like string arrangements. You should react to something by Diablo Swing Orchestra. A bit more brass focused than strings maybe, but still quite good 👍 Edit: The HU are why I learned to throat sing too. On a good day, I can hit 5 or 6 pitches at once (not in any sort of musical context, just as a standalone thing to do)
I really enjoy encountering new music lately and your analysis is really insightful. I found your channel through the Pneuma reaction. Your analysis of the polyrhythms was really educational. I would love to see you react to one of Dovydas improvisation videos. He's a musician RUclipsr who is known to take requests on the spot and improvises by looping his guitar, keyboard, and drum pad. I think his first viral video was When Someone Requests a Steve Vai Song from 3 years ago. It would be awesome to see you break down how he is improvising like he does. He sometimes plays songs he's never heard of but figures how to play the main parts by heading it and also freestyle his own musicality into it. Really cool to see his live streams, concerts, and busking videos. Keep up the great work with the channel!
Since you're going down this route too, I'll give a suggestion to listen to Heilung. Their live LIFA is one of my favorites from them. They utilize throat singing and traditional vocal techniques form Iceland(?) to create this environment that makes you feel very connected to the world while also being one of the most badass things I've seen. If you have to pick one song, I would suggest In Maidjan. It is a really good sampler for what the group is all about. BUT it has to be from the live performance. :) ruclips.net/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/видео.html
Mahalo for your videos, they are great. I love The HU! They are one of my favorite bands. I saw them live in San Jose last year and they are awesome live. One of the best live shows I've been to! Can't wait for things to get back to normal so the can come back to America.
The mongols didn't really invade much of Europe, most of their conquests were in Asia. The problem is that Europe wasn't massive empires like China f.ex. there was no central government that could be defeated and then you owned all of the land, and Europe had been dealing with the Huns for hundreds of years giving birth to stone castles, which rendered Mongolian tactics pretty useless. That and a vast majority of armies in central and western Europe were heavy cavalry, crossbow men and heavy spearmen, most of Europe was practically armed specifically to fight nomadic horse tribes, except Russia which is the exception to all of this, they were one big country and existed mostly outside of the few thousand years of war most of Europe had been doing up until the mongol invasions. Furthermore mongols were not very good at logistics, they worked under the assumption that they would continue to conquer to feed their horses and men, that's where castles came in because they were area denial, Europeans knew from the tartars that all you had to do was just outlast them and they would eventually have to move on. Only one other country in Europe besides Russia was actually invaded by the mongols, in southern Bohemia, and they upgraded their armies and beat the mongols a year or so after. It's always a good idea to remember that Europe was *the* most warlike societies on earth since before christianity came around. That being said the mongols are badass, but it would be more accurate to want to invade China when you hear this, 'cause you wouldn't get very far in Europe.
@@omega1231 man, check you Geography (cause Hungary is obviously located in Central Europe) and History (cause Mongols actually was genius of logistic, they are invented Post after all). 😆😆😆
@@omega1231 Mongols are under Turkic origin. Mongols didnt invade europe but Turks did. Before ottoman era, hungary conquered then ottomans, osman and selcuk turks invaded byzantine empire which means Europe. Mongols and Turks are similar, they both see Cengiz Han as a main root. Already that era europe wasnt like today, it was more smaller. North side was like tribal still. There was couple empires, mainly germans, celts, slavs and romanians. Maybe thats why it was easy to conquere. I believe spain is part of ottoman for a while too. Mongols main enemy was chineese in that era. They also fought with indians and arabics too. They literally invade to world :)
@@omega1231 well the mongolians had a very good way to take care of castles it was just attack them head on with their own troops first and after the troops were dead they would retreat once the troops inside came out to chase they would turn back and kill all of the soldiers that came out. Other way was that surround the whole castle so nothing goes in and out. By doing that all products passing through such as food supplies were cut off so they had to either push out and take care of the army outside the castle or surrender to it. Europe especially germans were known for their heavy armors. Mongolians had a way to deal with those armors as well . At that time i believe those armors were very heavy so once they were on the ground they would just push them to the ground with numbers and if they were on a horse they would lure them far enough and trip them off their horse to kill them. Mongolian empire went very far not just asia most of europe was also conquered but in a very long amount of time.few country that that mongolian empire failed to conquer was japan as the mongolians were not good sailers and also they were hit by storms on the way. Also i think it was some sort of small country that used guerrilla warfare against mongolian empire and won. (Fun fact: mongolian empire stopped conquering europe because their king had died and everyone was ordered to retreat. It is said that one country was at war and they were losing and one day the army was gone with no trace the next day)
@@whitekiki I don't know were you got your facts, but Alliance and Conquered are different words. Not even the Romans conquered the whole of Iberian Peninsula, much less no one before the Catholic Kings came around (XV century, and just because the plague had set many revolts against northern castles and shut them down). The Turks tried to invade Spain as late as XVIII century, and they still couldn't, not Napoleon either. It was because of what the guy up said: there were such great amount of little kingdoms and so many tribes that worked as mercenaries that it was imposible to conquer. Even the Romans claimed to have conquered the whole of the Peninsula when they actually didn't, because the north remained mostly wild (except for a couple of cities), under the promise of not 'making much noise' from the locals part, to prevent loosing face before Rome about the centennial war they had there. Going back to my first sentence, it's not the same being Allies (which wasn't Spain but Aragon Crown who was allies with Ottoman empire, which means the south and whole west Iberian Peninsula was not involved with the Otttomans) and being conquered. In fact, some of the mercenary tribes from Iberian Peninsula and it's outland posts, broke havoc in the Ottoman empire and then SETTLED THERE. (I want to clarify this, because I've been said so many times I look Turkic, and I look so because of this, and because I'm from the favourite place for Turks to gather slaves and rape women in northern Spain, which they did, but never conquered).
These guys are amazing, no two ways about it. I particularly enjoyed their re-imagined version of Metallica's Sad But True: ruclips.net/video/QpxA_ZxGX_M/видео.html Another awesome band that celebrates their cultural roots while rocking hard is a band out of India called Bloodywood. Please check them out, particularly their song "Jee Veerey" which was written to help those suffering from depression: ruclips.net/video/6uJoN_I9ebQ/видео.html
Would love to see you react to King Crimson - Starless (the live version). If you search it on youtube it would usually be the 2nd video down and is from the King Crimson page. First because it is an amazing song, period! Second because of the triple drum kits and the the way the song builds. Enjoy your discovery of music i have listened to for most of my life!
Throat singing is really awesome. Saw an awesome documentary on Paul Peña. Blind blues guy that found Tuvan throat singing and started using it in his blues stuff. Really enlightening. I'm enjoying this adventure you're on man, mahalo.
So we call them folk metal, a sub genre that can be subdivided further by geographical region or what type of folk music it's hybrid with. For another band to follow up to this in folk metal I recommend Eluveitie, their song rebirth is a great starting point
Cool video! I'm a beatboxer, throat-singer and I play mouth-harp and didgeridoo, so this is definitely my kind of music. the two different sound you hear (when they sing) is actually throat-singing -using vocal cords- and overtone singing -using the shape of the mouth and tongue, like when you whistling- at the same time. Easier than it sounds. You can find some interesting videos/tutorials on youtube about that. Also mouth-harp can generate some interesting sound, check out Áron Szilagyi's content, he is on of the best mouth-harp player and maker. One of his first band was the Airtist which was a collaboration of 3 musician a mouth-harp-, a didgeridoo- player and a beatboxer. It's a bit rough but interesting!
If you wanna go to different parts of the world look into Ningen Isu. I would recommend the song Heartless Scat but they have a pretty extensive catalog.
The thing about music doesn’t matter what kind you can add whatever culture lyrics and instruments I’m not good at music but I’m fascinated about the creativity from many peoples
The HU's Song of Women is an incredibly powerful ballad. Not a request, more of a suggestion, but you should check Heilung out, if you want more of the "weirder" stuff to explore and analyze. Songs like Norup, Svanrand and Alfadhirhaiti are very cool, they also have a concert album/production. Check 'em out, I'd love to hear what you have to say about feelings of "primordial" or "ancestral" resonances through very particular styles and/or even roots of music, and in general about that phenomena, in relation to Heilung and "sister" bands like Wardruna. Other examples would be cool to explore, if you know of any! Your channel is awesome, and I love where it's heading!
First of all, great channel. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day 🙂 there is a band called bloodywood. They are a band from India and they meld metal to their culture of music. Just like the HU does. They always have a message to them, and they go into it further at the end of the songs. So watch it all. Get one with lyrics so you get the message. If you like the Hu , you’ll love bloodywood. 🙂
I did know the HU, but I didn´t know this video. very impressive! thank you. I have another recommendation for you: a japanese band, who combines modern instruments and rocksounds with traditional shigin and traditional koto, shamisen and bambooflute. awesome. unintend the music I listen most to in the last weeks. "wagakki band - homura + akatsuki no ito" from the 1st japan tour 2015. greetings from germany.
Check out Galaa's solo more traditional take on another Chinggis Khaan tune - more of the polyphonic throat singing, great examples - ruclips.net/video/brwdWi-GszE/видео.html
I am really enjoying your videos and the reaction videos in particular. You should also check Homayoun Shajarian's "Ba man sanama" (Persian singing technique and Rock/Metal cross-over!
If you get a chance, please check out Инна Желанная - Боровая / Сергей Калачёв - бас / Дмитрий Фролов - барабаны The translation is Inna Zhelannaya - Borovaya It's an excellent song that synergizes Russian folk music (songs based on traditional songs of many regions in Russia) with world, progressive, post-rock influences.
FOLK METAL!!! OMG! My favorite sub-genre of metal. Please check out a small list of some of my favorites from around the world: Orphaned Land - Kiss of Babylon (Arabic/Middle Eastern) Aeternam - Moongod (Arabic/Middle Eastern) Carmaxtli Yoxippa - Uacúsecha (Native American) Metsatöll - Küü (Estonian) Skiltron - Gathering the Clans (Scottish/Celtic) Black Kirin - Yellow River (Chinese) Orochi - Hannya Invisible Demon (Japanese) Gostwind - Judgement Day (Korean) Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden of Earthly Delights (Medieval Europe) Eluveitie - Tegernakô (Gaulish/Celtic) Alestorm - Drink (Sea Shanties/Pirates) Heidevolk - Vinland (Norse/Scandinavian)
I only skimmed through this song when I discovered these guys a while back but I wish I didn't. The part at around 3:15 of your vid where the low heavy guitars come in literally gave me chicken skin, and only several songs have ever done that. There's something about that combination of throat singing and guitar that creates that sonic visceral effect. Throat singing seems to have therapeutic effects, particularly in releasing tension. Since you meditate, have you ever tried doing it for that reason?
while you're over in east asia, for something completely different, check out Ningen Isu, a rock/metal band out of Japan. They've been at this for quite a while, but have had limited fame. Probably their uh... breakout in terms of RUclips is "Heartless Scat". As for Tuvan throat singing, here's a throwback! ruclips.net/video/VTCJ5hedcVA/видео.html
I don’t know how into you are into very heavy metal but I’d absolutely love to hear what you think about the band Meshuggah. They’re musical geniuses who have made some of the most intense yet intriguing music I’ve ever heard. I’d recommend Born in Dissonance but they have a whole library of great diverse stuff. ruclips.net/video/xtO3VCu5wv4/видео.html by the way love your videos just found your channel the other day and I’ve enjoyed each reaction and you got tons of other cool stuff. Keep up the great work man!
If you like bands that carry on the Mongolian tradition with modern influence you should check out Hanggai. I randomly came across one of their songs when going down a youtube video rabbit hole. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanggai_(band)
Aloha Everyone. Thanks for all the comments :) Just a clarification: some have said that I misspoke that MONGOLIA was a tiny island in the pacific. I said in the video that "I live on a tiny island". I may have mumbled that because, well, I'm old LOL.
and singing technic was Throat singing (khoomii). your right kinda island that sandwiched between china and Russia in modern days.
You should do Heilung too!!
Mongolia is the 17th largest country in the world. It ruled the world in the 13th century
Nice technical reaction- it is Mongolian Hoomii- throat singing-. It is not Tuvan?!- though tuva used to be part of western mongolia
If I were ever to take over the world the HU would be my soundtrack.
Hahahah that was good!! 🤙🤙
You may have heard that they just released an incredible cover of Metallica's "Sad But True." But you may also appreciate the subtle beauty of their acoustic "Shireg, Shireg" video.
Awesome song.. another look into how important their heritage/culture is to them.
Metallica is one of their heroes... great cover
Seconded. The acoustic Shireg Shireg gives me life.
Sad but true was actually very cool
Their "This Is The Mongol" from last summer's Naadam 2020 Festival in Mongolia is also excellent: ruclips.net/video/czYXNyYV-S0/видео.html
Amazingly beautiful country too! I didn't know these guys existed until I went there, amazing country and culture!
The Hu is such a wonderful addition to the Mongolian folk metal scene. But there are two bands that preceeded them that I highly recommend; Tengger Calvary and Nine Treasures. They are both wonderful and both paved the way for The Hu.
Sad the guy from Tengger Cavalry had to leave so soon.... helluva band. :(
Me... taking the new music and running! ✌️
Mongolian throat singing, not Tuvan ;) subtle differences.

Saw them once live and this shit is something to see,. What a performance, great great show, run to see them.
Awesome! Never would have heard this band otherwise.
Man, I really appreciate your videos. I love your enthusiasm and positivity, as well as your thorough knowledge of music. Spread that love, you are a hero.
I appreciate that!🤙🤙

Everything about The HU is Epic!
Loved it. thank you.

I could definitely tell you were in the business by the way you started tugging at your throat when the singing started.
I would recommend using the subtitles on their songs for a bit more context. They have english subs on almost all their official videos

That and a vast majority of armies in central and western Europe were heavy cavalry, crossbow men and heavy spearmen, most of Europe was practically armed specifically to fight nomadic horse tribes, except Russia which is the exception to all of this, they were one big country and existed mostly outside of the few thousand years of war most of Europe had been doing up until the mongol invasions.
Furthermore mongols were not very good at logistics, they worked under the assumption that they would continue to conquer to feed their horses and men, that's where castles came in because they were area denial, Europeans knew from the tartars that all you had to do was just outlast them and they would eventually have to move on. Only one other country in Europe besides Russia was actually invaded by the mongols, in southern Bohemia, and they upgraded their armies and beat the mongols a year or so after.
It's always a good idea to remember that Europe was *the* most warlike societies on earth since before christianity came around.
That being said the mongols are badass, but it would be more accurate to want to invade China when you hear this, 'cause you wouldn't get very far in Europe.
@@omega1231 man, check you Geography (cause Hungary is obviously located in Central Europe) and History (cause Mongols actually was genius of logistic, they are invented Post after all). 😆😆😆
@@omega1231 Mongols are under Turkic origin. Mongols didnt invade europe but Turks did. Before ottoman era, hungary conquered then ottomans, osman and selcuk turks invaded byzantine empire which means Europe. Mongols and Turks are similar, they both see Cengiz Han as a main root. Already that era europe wasnt like today, it was more smaller. North side was like tribal still. There was couple empires, mainly germans, celts, slavs and romanians. Maybe thats why it was easy to conquere. I believe spain is part of ottoman for a while too. Mongols main enemy was chineese in that era. They also fought with indians and arabics too. They literally invade to world :)
@@omega1231 well the mongolians had a very good way to take care of castles it was just attack them head on with their own troops first and after the troops were dead they would retreat once the troops inside came out to chase they would turn back and kill all of the soldiers that came out. Other way was that surround the whole castle so nothing goes in and out. By doing that all products passing through such as food supplies were cut off so they had to either push out and take care of the army outside the castle or surrender to it.
Europe especially germans were known for their heavy armors. Mongolians had a way to deal with those armors as well . At that time i believe those armors were very heavy so once they were on the ground they would just push them to the ground with numbers and if they were on a horse they would lure them far enough and trip them off their horse to kill them. Mongolian empire went very far not just asia most of europe was also conquered but in a very long amount of time.few country that that mongolian empire failed to conquer was japan as the mongolians were not good sailers and also they were hit by storms on the way. Also i think it was some sort of small country that used guerrilla warfare against mongolian empire and won.
(Fun fact: mongolian empire stopped conquering europe because their king had died and everyone was ordered to retreat. It is said that one country was at war and they were losing and one day the army was gone with no trace the next day)
@@whitekiki I don't know were you got your facts, but Alliance and Conquered are different words. Not even the Romans conquered the whole of Iberian Peninsula, much less no one before the Catholic Kings came around (XV century, and just because the plague had set many revolts against northern castles and shut them down). The Turks tried to invade Spain as late as XVIII century, and they still couldn't, not Napoleon either. It was because of what the guy up said: there were such great amount of little kingdoms and so many tribes that worked as mercenaries that it was imposible to conquer. Even the Romans claimed to have conquered the whole of the Peninsula when they actually didn't, because the north remained mostly wild (except for a couple of cities), under the promise of not 'making much noise' from the locals part, to prevent loosing face before Rome about the centennial war they had there. Going back to my first sentence, it's not the same being Allies (which wasn't Spain but Aragon Crown who was allies with Ottoman empire, which means the south and whole west Iberian Peninsula was not involved with the Otttomans) and being conquered. In fact, some of the mercenary tribes from Iberian Peninsula and it's outland posts, broke havoc in the Ottoman empire and then SETTLED THERE. (I want to clarify this, because I've been said so many times I look Turkic, and I look so because of this, and because I'm from the favourite place for Turks to gather slaves and rape women in northern Spain, which they did, but never conquered).
Dude you really need to listen to Lzzy Hale ( from Halestorm) and the Hu doing "Song of a Woman"
These guys are amazing, no two ways about it. I particularly enjoyed their re-imagined version of Metallica's Sad But True: ruclips.net/video/QpxA_ZxGX_M/видео.html
Another awesome band that celebrates their cultural roots while rocking hard is a band out of India called Bloodywood. Please check them out, particularly their song "Jee Veerey" which was written to help those suffering from depression: ruclips.net/video/6uJoN_I9ebQ/видео.html
The Hu has quickly become one of my favorite bands and music to listen to, along with Batzorig Vaanchig.
Great reaction and interesting to hear your perspective. Love this band, and I REALLY dig your t-shirt, my dude.
Awesome! Thank you! 🤙🤙
Would love to see you react to King Crimson - Starless (the live version). If you search it on youtube it would usually be the 2nd video down and is from the King Crimson page. First because it is an amazing song, period! Second because of the triple drum kits and the the way the song builds. Enjoy your discovery of music i have listened to for most of my life!
Throat singing is really awesome. Saw an awesome documentary on Paul Peña. Blind blues guy that found Tuvan throat singing and started using it in his blues stuff. Really enlightening. I'm enjoying this adventure you're on man, mahalo.
Thank. You. Welcome. To. Mongolia
Dude, Heilung for sure. If you dig this you'll dig that. It's historical proto Germanic industrial with amazing vocals. Full send bud.
There definitely is raw power that you can hear through this song! After hearing few song I was forced (by my self) to buy HU album. Great stuff!
So we call them folk metal, a sub genre that can be subdivided further by geographical region or what type of folk music it's hybrid with.
For another band to follow up to this in folk metal I recommend Eluveitie, their song rebirth is a great starting point
Cool video!
I'm a beatboxer, throat-singer and I play mouth-harp and didgeridoo, so this is definitely my kind of music.
the two different sound you hear (when they sing) is actually throat-singing -using vocal cords- and overtone singing -using the shape of the mouth and tongue, like when you whistling- at the same time.
Easier than it sounds.
You can find some interesting videos/tutorials on youtube about that.
Also mouth-harp can generate some interesting sound, check out Áron Szilagyi's content, he is on of the best mouth-harp player and maker.
One of his first band was the Airtist which was a collaboration of 3 musician a mouth-harp-, a didgeridoo- player and a beatboxer.
It's a bit rough but interesting!
Do a reaction to Sturgill Simpson "call to arms" on SNL. Great performance and you can tell he really let his band have fun on live tv.
Easily the best snl performance in over a decade
If you wanna go to different parts of the world look into Ningen Isu. I would recommend the song Heartless Scat but they have a pretty extensive catalog.
Wow! Mesmerizing! !
Right? 🤙🤙
The thing about music doesn’t matter what kind you can add whatever culture lyrics and instruments I’m not good at music but I’m fascinated about the creativity from many peoples
I was only going to watch you for Tool
But then you did the HU.
God bless, just hope the Mongols don’t rise to power anytime soon.
They are Mongolian Rock Band. Chinggis Khaan is from Mongolia, and the song is about him.
The HU's Song of Women is an incredibly powerful ballad. Not a request, more of a suggestion, but you should check Heilung out, if you want more of the "weirder" stuff to explore and analyze. Songs like Norup, Svanrand and Alfadhirhaiti are very cool, they also have a concert album/production. Check 'em out, I'd love to hear what you have to say about feelings of "primordial" or "ancestral" resonances through very particular styles and/or even roots of music, and in general about that phenomena, in relation to Heilung and "sister" bands like Wardruna. Other examples would be cool to explore, if you know of any! Your channel is awesome, and I love where it's heading!
First of all, great channel. I hope everyone is having a fantastic day 🙂 there is a band called bloodywood. They are a band from India and they meld metal to their culture of music. Just like the HU does. They always have a message to them, and they go into it further at the end of the songs. So watch it all. Get one with lyrics so you get the message. If you like the Hu , you’ll love bloodywood. 🙂
Thank you for your reaction. Please do more from them.
night verses "copper wasp" playthrough is amazing
or Vice Wave
If you're doing out their ethnic music - Do "Sitar Metal". Excellent stuff! Or, for a more Viking thing - try "Wardruna".
If you like this, you should check out Krigsgalder Live by Lifa. A marvelous mixture of ancient sounds and instruments.
The Hu is great about CC, turn it on the lyrics are awesome! I'm a big fan!
Love your videos! I don't usually comment but felt compelled to. Have a look at Heilung's Norupo. They are doing some very cool things.
Baatzorig vaanchig- chiingis khaani perfect example of those vocal notes that throut singing produce
I did know the HU, but I didn´t know this video. very impressive! thank you.
I have another recommendation for you: a japanese band, who combines modern instruments and rocksounds with traditional shigin and traditional koto, shamisen and bambooflute. awesome. unintend the music I listen most to in the last weeks. "wagakki band - homura + akatsuki no ito" from the 1st japan tour 2015. greetings from germany.
Check out Galaa's solo more traditional take on another Chinggis Khaan tune - more of the polyphonic throat singing, great examples - ruclips.net/video/brwdWi-GszE/видео.html
i never knew i wanted this in my life
Great stuff hope you react to my favorite band scardust that's a very underated band
Can you react to Bloodywood- machi bhasad Live at wacken.. Its a metalband from India with an Indian touch which is very interesting for you..
Put a link of the YT video you want me to check in the comment :)
@@KeyOfGeebz ruclips.net/video/R_bmh2XI9AU/видео.html
Yesssss Bloodywood rocks!
I am really enjoying your videos and the reaction videos in particular. You should also check Homayoun Shajarian's "Ba man sanama" (Persian singing technique and Rock/Metal cross-over!
Hunnu Empire by Batzorig Vaanchig ruclips.net/video/bONCCjzNlk4/видео.html
If you get a chance, please check out Инна Желанная - Боровая / Сергей Калачёв - бас / Дмитрий Фролов - барабаны
The translation is Inna Zhelannaya - Borovaya
It's an excellent song that synergizes Russian folk music (songs based on traditional songs of many regions in Russia) with world, progressive, post-rock influences.
Interesting pull - the Hu rocks! Nice reaction
Thanks! 🤙🤙
That vocal is throat singing... Its unique
Saw them live in montreal a couple years ago. Great band great sound and experience. Not my favorite band but it's great to see them pop here!
Yuve yuve yu is their best song in my opinion. I love it.
FOLK METAL!!! OMG! My favorite sub-genre of metal. Please check out a small list of some of my favorites from around the world:
Orphaned Land - Kiss of Babylon (Arabic/Middle Eastern)
Aeternam - Moongod (Arabic/Middle Eastern)
Carmaxtli Yoxippa - Uacúsecha (Native American)
Metsatöll - Küü (Estonian)
Skiltron - Gathering the Clans (Scottish/Celtic)
Black Kirin - Yellow River (Chinese)
Orochi - Hannya Invisible Demon (Japanese)
Gostwind - Judgement Day (Korean)
Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden of Earthly Delights (Medieval Europe)
Eluveitie - Tegernakô (Gaulish/Celtic)
Alestorm - Drink (Sea Shanties/Pirates)
Heidevolk - Vinland (Norse/Scandinavian)
I only skimmed through this song when I discovered these guys a while back but I wish I didn't. The part at around 3:15 of your vid where the low heavy guitars come in literally gave me chicken skin, and only several songs have ever done that. There's something about that combination of throat singing and guitar that creates that sonic visceral effect.
Throat singing seems to have therapeutic effects, particularly in releasing tension. Since you meditate, have you ever tried doing it for that reason?
while you're over in east asia, for something completely different, check out Ningen Isu, a rock/metal band out of Japan. They've been at this for quite a while, but have had limited fame. Probably their uh... breakout in terms of RUclips is "Heartless Scat". As for Tuvan throat singing, here's a throwback! ruclips.net/video/VTCJ5hedcVA/видео.html
I don’t know how into you are into very heavy metal but I’d absolutely love to hear what you think about the band Meshuggah. They’re musical geniuses who have made some of the most intense yet intriguing music I’ve ever heard. I’d recommend Born in Dissonance but they have a whole library of great diverse stuff. ruclips.net/video/xtO3VCu5wv4/видео.html by the way love your videos just found your channel the other day and I’ve enjoyed each reaction and you got tons of other cool stuff. Keep up the great work man!
If you like bands that carry on the Mongolian tradition with modern influence you should check out Hanggai. I randomly came across one of their songs when going down a youtube video rabbit hole.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanggai_(band)
The whistle tone is called polyphonic overtone singing. look up Anna-Maria Hefele on youtube she's the best I've ever heard.
For swedish folk metal we have Garmarna, for instance. Very nice stuff
Phenomenal!!! I suggest aswell Shireg Shireg Performance. !!!!!
L💜 HU!!!!
Your reaction is priceless.. ❤️❤️
