A Mongolian metal band backed by a Mongol biker gang doing an updated version of an old Golden Horde battle song.
There's badass and then there's Badass and then there is THIS.
There's two kinds of biker gangs: the ones who descend from Genghis Khan's cavalry, and then everyone else.
😂👌💪
They are a Motorcycle Club Not a gang there is a difference.
@@leifkjnny5424 It might well be that ALL bikers are their descendants... genetically predisposed to ride free and be badass...
@Amanzhol Mambetzhanov From what I've read, it's based on a poem by a nobleman from one of the Golden Horde successor states, and the poem, in turn, is based on an old riding chant. But, hey, it's internet knowledge, and second hand, at that, so take it with a grain of salt.
Never ever seen a guy like you, who understands music on this level... very unique!
I do my best. Thank you for the support 👌💪
Absolutely !!
@@ChaseCarneson pls react 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - The Hu'
#Robertcraane then you haven't met me.
@@saintmatthias8187 No, sorry, I didn't...
The instruments they're playing are the Morin Khuur, the two-stringed horsehead fiddle, a traditional Mongolian instrument. The type of singing is traditional Mongolian throat singing. They actually are sort of creating two notes at once in their throats!
That's amazing. Thanks for the info.
If you like some more insights on the vocal technique, check out Kuular .. he explains how it's done and did some nice renditions of known pop songs with this technique applied. Start with Numb (Linkin Park cover) to hear a very good example .
@@ChaseCarneson and to make the sounds, you have to make them as far back in your throat as possible.
@@KingAce595 Also uses the false vocal chords aka ventricular folds, which is tricky to do. Get them going in sympathetic vibration and it drops the octave to the subharmonic! That's what gets the low growl.
Might be for some Heilung, I recommend In Maidjan from LIFA.
Love love love Heilung. Gonna post some recommendations from them too.
In Maidjan would be the best introduction. But basically anything from LIFA is awesome.
Yes please!
Heilung is so good.
definitely some heilung, i also think krigsgaldr or hamrer hippyer
Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat , Japanese top metal band from 4 older dudes who were around with Metallica and Iron Maiden 30, 35 years ago... you wont regret!
Yes! I've been saying this for some time now, altough I'de recomend At the mountains of madness live. Have you ever seen a metal/rock band use a freaking theremin in a song? Damn, this guys are soo cool ruclips.net/video/DgTEKoYhAXg/видео.html
Great song, but i prefer "The Colour Out of Space"
@@tarinindell8217 That was my favorite...til I found Mountains, I just looovveeee the way they used the theremin and the back and forth singing between both of them
@@Neocoolzero I hear you brother, I play the Theremin myself as well...
The Hu had live broadcast gig for "brew virus" relief ... whole live concert is watchable in their official YT channel.
Here is another good one from THE HU "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - The Hu Music Video"
"Suggan Essena"...based on their own song, "Black Thunder". Terrific stuff.
@@alanfoster6589 I watched their interview about the making of this song. Great interview to watch, if you haven't seen it.
THIS!!!!! I wish he had heard this song first.
And this song has forever made them a part of Star Wars canon!!
If you want to see awesome bow work on a stringed instrument check out Apocalyptica! A Finnish band that formed in the 90s and began as guys on cello playing Metallica songs with no singer. They have original songs where they feature singers from other bands. Here's a link to their cover of Metallica's One! ruclips.net/video/RzJPFRCaWVY/видео.html
This needs to go in the plan!!!
@@ChaseCarneson And here's a link to an original song 'Farewell' by Apocalyptica, played in a live stream concert this May: ruclips.net/video/HcXJg0HddyE/видео.html
Apocalyptica's new album title song is downright HAUNTING live (Cell-0)
You need to turn on CC and listen to the song again with subtitles. :)
Actually a good shout.
God damn it's good to hear someone who can clearly explain what they hear. And yeah, they are metal as fuck.
The singer is also an university professor in culture, if I'm right... any one correct me if I'm wrong
I believe both Jaya and Gala have taught music. All four main members have degrees in music. Jaya (with the long hair) toured extensively as a traditional flutist.
Great song, but check out their other song, "Yuve Yuve Yu"
I'm a very recent subscriber, and your channel is quickly becoming a favorite. I've never seen anyone describe the details in music quite like you do. It gives me a whole new appreciation for music.
Even with this band, completely foreign to you, you are still picking up the various subtleties in the song. Cheers!!
Appreciate this, Julia. Thanks for supporting.
The Hu is an awesome band. The traditional cord instrument is a Morin Juur. Very interesting how they combine tradition and modernity in the same song and video. If you are interested in this things I recommend you The Waggaki Band, a rock band that uses the Koto, the Shamishen and the Shakuhachi with the habitual drums, bass and guitar:
The song is Senbonzakura: ruclips.net/video/K_xTet06SUo/видео.html
This is an official video but their live performances are highly recommended.
yes! totally agree on the Wagakki Band! Yoshiwara Lament is also a great one imho: ruclips.net/video/DD6LHfm5AZY/видео.html
I can recommend Yuwe Yuwe Yu by the HU...he makes those strings sounds like a horse "neighing". That was the first song of theirs that I heard. For somewhat more "traditional" Mongolian music, I recommend checking out Batzorig Vaanchig, especially his collaboration with Auli, a Latvian bagpipe and drum group. Amazing :)
This band is the coolest awesomest band on the planet and they can't do a bad song. They keep getting better over time and if you ever have a chance to see them live take it. Check out all of their music and videos they are amazing they are called Norin Khurr or horsehead fiddle, tovshuur is the other instrument and theirs has 3 strings but it usually has only 2 strings too. The bird is the sound of an eagle. That is called Mongolian throat singing and they are using their voices not any effects or filters at all.
I like how the throat singing at one part gives me satisfaction for the missing bass instrument but at the same time fills the vocal spectrum.
That kind of missing "full sound" of having a dedicated bass in turn opens up space for the Mongolian lute (don't remember the name) and the horsehead fiddle to be very prominent.
Cool reaction, thanks!
Very good point that! Nice one.
It's Mongolian throat singing: a very particular and very ancient technique. Variations on it used to be more common across Europe in ancient times. There's something very primal about it that speaks to something deep inside you, no matter how 'civilized' and 'modern' you think you are.
Mongolian throat singing aint ancient they adopted it from tuvan turks.. central asian turkic throat singing is what you mean. Chingisid empire thus mongol ethnicity came after Gokturk empire build on it's land with Turkic people as the empire now you called mongol empire were called Chingisid Empire it was a Turkic federation that neither had sole mongol etnicity or was mongolian in it's entirety. it's army,systems,language hell even language on it's money was Turkic and when the khan die 5 Turkic Empires build from it. Mongols are 3 milion turks like 100 time more.
Basicly Mongol Empire is more of a 19th century term don't confuse it with people who live in mongolia today.
@@Regalya nah turkic people adopted it from the mongols.
@@Regalya also turkish people are not turkic. turkish people are just arab/greek/persian mixes.
You should check out Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata while you're on this world tour of Metal music :)
In the plan 👌
Please react to that. That band is so underrated
@@ChaseCarneson there's a version of the video with lyrics if you're interested. On that note, you'd also dig Bloodywood (Metal Band from New Delhi who incorporate elements of Indian folk music into their sound).
@@MadameChristie you beat me to it on both counts. I was just going to comment to suggest Bloodywood and Alien Weaponry!
(...along with Eluveitie that I've recommended previously, heh!)
Nightwish is my big love, but man, The Hu has become my biggest fascination... I even bought a horse fiddle (the two string instrument)
haha, I'm mongolian and I love fantasy metal. I bought a banjo, and still don't have a horsehead fiddle.
@@metalsteel5631 Good for you bro! Come visit you in the future, we'll play together... I'm Dutch but moving to The Philippines (After Corona)
Great reaction and very informative. Would love to see your reaction to their other songs. So many good ones
The emblem at the start of the video is their "totem", the Snow Leopard. These guys fill a hole inside me that I never knew I had. They wake up the axe swinging Viking, and the rock slinging Pict in my DNA. Part of me wants to swarm over a wall and murder Romans. The other part of me wants to attack churches, slaughter monks and steal anything that's remotely gold or silver. Sigh. I'm sure the neighbors would complain.
By the way, I thought I gave you the link to the vid with the English translation! That's half the fun!!! Remember, these guys are THE HUN, as in ATTILA THE!! This is a much more sedate invasion that the last one. Less running and screaming from the audience, fewer flying body parts and a lot less blood drenching the ground. They didn't bring the horses this time. Pity. I liked the horses.
No translation necessary. Several poetic verses amounting to "Mess with us, and you're dead."
@@GlennWH26 But I love the listing of the animals and the over the top counter threats! Bring on the lions with the blue manes!
Just a heads up, these guys are more like Genghis Khan, the Mongolian Conqueror. Attila the Hun was, I believe, Hungarian.
Edited for spelling.
@@ForestofCicadas Atilla the hun was Turk wtf is hungarian lol?
Genghis khan and Chingisid Empire (Didn't called mongolian empire until 19th century tbh) was a Turkic federation it's army,culture,language hell even the writing on it's money was turkic infact when the khan die only 5 Turkic empires build from Chingisid(mongol) empire. Also Genghis and Ottomans are relatives both from tribe of ashina.
@@Regalya The Hunnic Empire consisted of multiple tribes, with many different languages spoken. The name Attila could derive from Turkic languages or there are also possibilities that it originated from a Gothic language. Some of his relatives have names that sound Turkic, others have names resembling those of Gaulish and Germanic tribes. Historians believe he may have been of a Turkic ethnicity based on a second-hand description of his appearance, so I'm not arguing that his ethnicity could not be Turkic. That being said, the place in which he was born was Pannonia, a province of the Roman Empire which is known in the present day as Transdanubia, Hungary. The Hunnic Empire. Attila the Hun. Hungary. Surely you can see the connection? It's right in the names. Modern day Hungarians can trace their history back to Attila the Hun, so I'm not wrong in saying that Attila the Hun is Hungarian.
Moving on to Genghis Khan, he's Mongolian. He likely spoke an old version of Mongolian, related to the extinct Khitan language. It was believed at one point that Mongolian was related to Turkic, Tungusic, Korean and Japonic languages, however this theory is now considered obsolete by most comparative linguists.
Edited for spelling, once again.
Wagakki band - Senbonzakura. A mix with metal and traditional japanese music. And as always a great reaction.
Some of their songs do have more traditional metal sounds to it, I recommend The Great Chinggus Khan. It's pretty good, with much longer throat singing parts too.
That is my favoriet
The HU - Wolf Totem for me is brilliant song
I would recommend checking out their newer song ”Song of Women” featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm
^This
That's a good one.
I've been following the HU for a little over a year now. They have been getting mad respect from the western metal community. They've done some colabs and remixed some of their songs namely "Yuve Yuve Yu" ft. Danny Case, "Wolf Totem", ft. Jacoby Shaddix, and "Song of Women" ft. Lzzy Hale. If you want more check out "The Great Chinggis Khaan".
I didn't comment back when you first released this one (not sure why), but your excitement for this is so contagious. I can imagine my face for the first few note (probably like I was watching a horror movie, lol) - but then I was quickly smiling, moving and feeling like I need to go to war, lmao. Hearing your take on it from a musician's ears & knowledge is always so interesting... You listen for/to all the details that make it great while the rest of us non-musicians are just chanting "Hu Hu Hu HU!!!" :) Hope you'll react to more by them. I was hooked from this song & everything I've heard since has been just as good (including the entire Gereg album).
They have done some remixes with english speaking performers that are really good and has helped the band get heard more.......Wolf totem with Papa Roach.......Yuve Yuve Yu with Ashs to New .....and Song of Women with Izzy Hale from Hailstorm ...... to me the are still good songs....their song Shoog Shoog is good also
Nice one Melody, definitely keen for more so will put those in the plan.
I love The Hu. Saw them in NYC. They gave an energetic performance and the crowd was stoked.
Heilung - they do what they call amplified history. Saw them in NYC in January. Great theatrical show.
Ancient Norse feel.
Krigsgaldr likely their most known song?
ruclips.net/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/видео.html
Fylgija Ear/Futhorck
There is throat singing on this one.
I am recommending this one for that and it really shows off their theatricality. I mean there's a guy casting bones for a shamanistic ritual on stage. And it is gorgeous.
ruclips.net/video/iJvcN41H3Is/видео.html
Hamrer Hippyer is trance inducing and hypnotic. Super awesome.
Warning: strong use of strobes.
This is my personal favorite right now. It changes as I repeat listen to their body of work.
ruclips.net/video/hNu6FmaUIB0/видео.html
In Maidjan is another of their most popular songs.
ruclips.net/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/видео.html
I am going to check out all of these songs as well thank you
If you like classic foreign instruments in a rock setting, you can try "Wagakki Band - Senbon Sakura"
Then there are "2Cellos" and "Apocalyptica" for Cello-Based rock/metal.
For another impressive mongolian style of singing, you could try "Tengger - Heaven"
If you want to put german bands on your list: "Scorpions - Wind of Change", "Blind Guardian - Bard's Song (in the Forest) and Valhalla" (two songs showcasing the abilities of the band) and "ASP - Ich will brennen" (they only sing in german, but the translations are easy to find)
I'm not adding Rammstein, as you probably know them already ;)
I have seen them two times live....and they are just great.
Thank you for your reaction. i like watch reactions like how i love the hu. You was the best the hu reacter i ever seen.
LYRICS - (Remember, Mongolians scared Chinese so much they're the reason The Great Wall exists)
"If lions come, we'll fight until the end
If tigers come, we'll fight and battle
If elephants come, we'll fight in rage
If humans come, we'll fight and obliterate
We, If lions come, we'll fight until the end
If tigers come, we'll fight and battle
If elephants come, we'll fight in rage
If humans come, we'll fight and obliterate
If you come as snakes,
We'll become Garuda birds and fly over you
If you come as tigers,
We'll face you as Lions with blue mane
If you with come evil intentions, we'll give you a fight!
Ten of us will strike you as thunder
Hundred of us will shatter your hearts
Thousand of us will destroy and obliterate
Ten thousand of will hand you the wrath of Heaven!
If you come as flood, we'll fight until the death
If you come swarming, we'll scatter you around
If you come flying, we'll shoot you down with our archery
If you come charging, we'll slice you with our swords
Let's cut through them as speed of flying falcons!
Let's burn within as the hearts wolves!
Let's stampede with our horses!
Let's defeat them with the wisdom of our Great Khaan, Chinggis!"
Genghis Khan and golden hord (The HU) come to border of Finland (Nightwish country) and met The NW ARMY, and they went AAAHHH ,, mayby NOT !! Boys lets go home !
And they are now part of the Star Wars canon. They are in the Jedi Fallen order game.
All four frontmen can throat-sing and in different tones; that is what you picked up on. Crazy thing is they are even better live. Worked concerts for 2 years and would put theirs just a touch over Metallica and Elton John shows I saw that were out of this world back in their prime days. Have not seen Nightwish live but am sure that would set an unreachable bar for any mortal band...
That's just amazing!!!
Check out this unplugged "The Hu Performs in the LAZER 103.3 Studios
": ruclips.net/video/hElhDzFnnCM/видео.html
All the members of the band can throatsing, which is why the sound is so complex. You will be blown away, I promise! :)
Wow. That was a very cool reaction. I like it when someone takes his time to appreciate the music, rythm and instruments and the composition.
Instantly subscribed. =D
So, I know that you'll probably don't read this comment, but I want to suggest 2 Bands/Songs to you anyway.
If you're interested in very unique Styles of Music that is... But depending on what I've seen so far, I bet you do ;)
So my recommedations are:
**Heilung | LIFA - In Maidjan LIVE** it's a really, really unique style of (Pre-)Iron-Age-Music. Really awesome.
and **Faun - Odin (feat. Einar Selvik)** which is a mix of Pagan-Folk & German-Folk with lots of Medieval Folk as well.
Both are great performances and great Bands in general, if you want to see some more if it, feel free =D
With that said, I'm looking forward to more awesome reactions from you and keep going :3
Greetings from Germany
Morti
Mongolian metal rocks!
I think this is song is "tribute" to Great Genghis(Temunjin) Khan who unite mongol tribes(klans) to one Wolf-Klan..
Totem i belive is the "Stick" whit all wolf (klans)tales .. and then they Concure the World !! About 800 years ago. singing is *Trouth singin*
Mongols are real Badases .. (After Finns !!)
Stay safe and sorry my bad english ! but its my 3 lingo after Finnish and swedish ..
this band is insane i love there music if i remember correctly the song was about connecting with your ancestry but i could be mixing it with one of their other songs
At least 3 of the 4 main group members do the throat singing, so that's probably why you heard the different sounds at the same time. You should check out this live performance of Shireg Shireg from them as all three sing sections, and they have a very unusual type of flute playing technique I'd never seen. They also demonstrate just the throat singing at the end.
ruclips.net/video/iL6fKW4wiQ8/видео.html
If you are interested in the folk metal like sounds of The Hu there are a number of German (although not exclusively) bands where they mix rock, metal and occasionally electronic music with what would be non-standard instruments for that type of music. Usually the instruments will be medieval in nature like pipes, bagpipes, hurdy gurdy and other stringed instruments. Probably the easiest of these to get into would be Saltatio Mortis or Feuerschwanz. You also have In Extremo, Subway to Sally, Tanzwut, Schandmaul, Schelmish, Heimataerde and Corvus Corax.
Hi Chase! nice to hear you reacting to this band, i discover your channel a few days ago and i like a lot how you react to songs, if you want some other group that shares their culture i would suggest you "korpiklaani" its a folk metal band from Finland, a nice song to start would be "keep on galloping" or maybe "Rauta".
The band can be seen (and heard) playing the morin khuur-a two-stringed horsehead fiddle played with a bow-and a tovshuur-another two-stringed instrument, but played with the fingers. They also blast out their lyrics in the style of traditional Mongolian throat singers, a technique that involves producing multiple guttural pitches simultaneously. ( mymodernmet.com/mongolian-heavy-metal-hu-band/ )
Please try Heilung and their song "In Maidjan!" Lots of throat singing and the beautiful, ethereal goddess named Maria Franz
Heilung focuses on Iron Age and semi-Viking age "folk" music. They describe themselves as "amplified history from early medieval, Northern Europe."
Been trying to get him onto Heilung for a couple videos now, so I second this. "In Maidjan" is probably the perfect cross-section of their sound, with "Krigsgaldr" a close second (the latter also having a lot more of Maria's vocals). Check out any of the live performances from LIFA, Chase, you can't go wrong!
I've actually put them in the plan. Got quite the list but they're in there, promise.
Check out the video simply " Female Mongolian Throat Singer " . I get emotional every time I watch it.
Really cool listen! I even had to ponder a little while on what I've wanted to say about it. As a self aware prog dork 🤓 it takes me to one of my favorite aspects, infusing rock and metal with other time signatures, scales, and musical ideas not usually associated with traditional rock/metal. Then of course you kind of have this whole idea of building actual musical progressions and creating resolves or just other music fuckery that's thrown in haha, but for the most part i think at it's core prog is all about fusion, and when it comes to culture, food, music or anything I'm all about it man. Live for spice and exploration in music, food, cinema, just cultural trends in general haha i feel i have this weird obsession about it no one in my immediate proximity does.
Anyway those are the feelings invoked by this. Great craftsmanship went into this product and I'll see them again.
You sir, are a very very smart man. Appreciate the support as always, friend.
Hehe too kind 🙌 I'm not stupid or brilliant, but for sure critically minded! I'm the type of person where I go from genius to moron really fast depending on the topic 🤣
That was super fun watching you try to figure out what was happening while totally enjoying the experience. As I suggested before, I hope you check out Song of Women official video with Lzzy Hale. It's a wonderful mix of cultures and musical genres.
Nice one, Will. That sounds co will give it a look.
She was a great addition to an already fantastic band
The original version without her is better IMO - so there you go now you need to compare 😁 Enjoy both...
@@christophercollins9333 lol.
The HU have really become the center point of something that's a really fresh sound. My favorites from them are this song and Sugaan Essena/Black Thunder, which is from a Star Wars game and has a nice video where you get to see some of the western instruments they also use.
Sounds awesome.
If you want to stay on the world metal with different instruments train, my suggestion is Eluveitie (pronounced El-vay-tee)
They're a Swiss folk metal band, utilizing traditional folk instruments (including a hurdy gurdy!) mixed with modern guitars etc. They sing in about four different languages, including the nearly extinct Gaulish. They are very cool.
Oh yes. I'd recommend that as well. Maybe start with one of their newer records but my all time favorite is "Omnos". That sound makes me happy whatever the situation was before ;-) The one reactors seem to love is "Rebirth" from 2018 which is great as well.
In the end there is no bad one.
He should do Inis mona!
Mongolian throat singing. Amazing album by the guys and from what I’ve seen on YT they sound just as good live.
Discovered them last year, the lyrics just are a part of their history, and how their society was classified regarding armies during the time of the Khans and Genghis. They are the new Mongol riders. The four main members of the band are amazing players by their own. Already listened to them playing beautiful classical solos.
Just enjoy their last concert for Covid Aid, I'm just waiting for the release of their special edition Album to see how I can buy it and if I can afford it. Stay safe 💞💞
On Babymetal's last US tour they had Sweden's Avatar as their opening act but the last few stops had The Hu as their opener. The Babymetal team has always picked interesting opening acts.
have to grin a bit when you start moving with the music, because I do it to. It sort of DEMANDS that we move with it, doesn't it?
Absolutely. We are victims to the rhythm.
ABSOLUTELY Jak!
I wouldn't say metal. Although some of their songs are metal, I think they're mostly rock. Have you ever heard of a band called 'the wagakki band'? If not, I'd like you to react to their music video 'senbonzakura', that's how I got introduced to them.
They're horsehead fiddles I believe. There was also something about a master fiddler being to make it sound a whinnying horse. Oh, and they are using a technique called mongolian throat singing ;)
Hu is the root word for Human. The people almost literally.
Another Great Vid! If you're looking for interesting sound, I have to recommend Kai Tangata from Alien Weaponry. Maori-language metal. The band has songs in English and some with mixed lyrics, but this one is entirely in Maori and is an absolute banger.
2 strings both made from the tail hair of horses. One from a mare condisting of 28[?] hairs. The other from the tail of a stallion 32[?] hairs. The bow, like western bows is also horse hair. Morin khuur or horsehead fiddle.
The singing is tuvaan, throat singing. They begin training as toddlers. This technique predates language.
Now you have to do their Song of Women featuring Lizzy Hale. IT KILLS
My favorite. I cry every time.
Love that song as well I read that in their culture the woman are treated with great respect
Love them!
They have 2 types of drums one is normal drums and the other is traditional drums.
Really high quality of a reaction video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in depths and going into more details around the sounds. I also love trying to hear their music by each sound and they have really good transitions into it
Thank you for supporting. Very much appreciated.
Mongolian throat singing. Look it up.
there is 3 guys that throat sing in different octaves at the same time
Throat singing😊 man they are awesome!!🤘🤘😎 ever since i heard them, i’m hook from the first second🤘😂😊 your body get “hook” from the first sound🤘makes you feel good whenever you hear their music🤘 hopefully you gotta see the other too🙏🙏
i love the hu ! makes me crazy! i'm a girl from france. and i listen lot of differents musics. Chase please, listen to Luc Arbogast .He's a french singer who have 2 voices in one body.but it's not metal music .go to see: hurry ken production "middle Ages! Luc Arbogast Amazing countertenor médieval singer! Ancient music. cancion sefaradi. " he singing in a church, without micro. if you want, after ,listen her clip : luc arbogast "vox clamantis" , "nausicaa", ect....merci.bisous de france. corinne.
The Hu is a Mongolian heavy metal band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, Tovshuur and Mongolian throat singing, the band calls their style of music "hunnu rock", hu inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire, known as The Huns in western culture. Some of the band’s lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry.
Bloodywood, indian folklore metal! They mix indian folk sounds and instruments with metal, and it sounds freakin amazing. Most of their songs are in support or raising awareness of heavy subjects, like depression or poverty, and they even fund and raise help and funds to try and help, like they mention in almost all of their videos.
Here's a couple:
INDIAN FOLK METAL (Bloodywood - "Jee Veerey" ft. Raoul Kerr)
ruclips.net/video/6uJoN_I9ebQ/видео.html&t
INDIAN STREET METAL ("Ari Ari" ft. Raoul Kerr) - Bloodywood
ruclips.net/video/i4FqGPRQWFM/видео.html
I'd love to see a reaction to Dordeduh - Dojana [official music video] a Romanian band; they're also using lots of.. traditional instruments in that song: the semantron (basically a wooden plank, used mainly in orthodox churches), an instrument pretty similar to an alpenhorn called bucium and the cimbalom.
If you want 'unique' things I suggest you take a look at Apocalyptica. While they're music sounds like general metal, they do not use guitars but cellos. The band basically exist out of a couple of dudes playing the cello and a drummer. They often invite guest vocals to sing on their songs but they also have a bunch of instrumental songs. They started out as a Metallica cover band.
One of my favourite songs are I Don't Care, Life Burns (this one is the 'heaviest' in the list) and Bittersweet (this being a beautiful ballad doesn't 'amaze' as much as the others on cello aspect)
Love your reaction, another band to react to would be Hanggai, also Mongolian, but living in Beijing. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/UvW8JEuIo58/видео.html. This song is absolutly amazing and would go with the western style music
How about Orphaned Land, they are a Israeli band with both jewish and muslim members. Their message is that all religion is linked and therefore all the current hate in the world (and Israel) should stop. The song 'Sapari' is one of my favourites. 'All is One' is also a good one.
I'd love for you to give your take on something folksy, mostly because of the instrumentation. Some Faun or Eluveitie or something along those lines.
(Yes, thats just me being a sucker for gurdies and pipes and shit combined with more clasically metal/rock instrumentation)
Mongolian throat singing....lyrics are basically saying "fuck with us and we'll kick your ass"
There are a few videos floating around that shows the guy playing the blue horseheaded instrument up close. I noticed a lot of tapping of the fingers to the strings, and even using a finger to push the outermost string inward. And you'd be surprised just how far above the neck board these strings are.
Tjeck Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata ruclips.net/video/5kwIkF6LFDc/видео.html and Bloodywood - Ari, Ari. ruclips.net/video/i4FqGPRQWFM/видео.html
Usually the next people check out after this is Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata. Not the same type, but also pretty rad.
You should checkout The Hu with Lizzy Hale,Song of Woman.😀
If you want more Mongolian metal, check out Tengger Calvary.
You should also check Hanggai, they have excellent songs as well... And if you really want to hear throat singing, listen to Batzorig Vaanchig, that man is a master.
Tennger Cavalry for more Mongolian Heavy Metal and Týr for Faroese Folk Metal.
They use Mongolian Throat Singing in their music, and it sounds incredible!
My favorite thing about this video is they seemed to use the stock horse sounds from Age of Empires 2 lol
Being that you’re from South Africa, how about Mind Assault? The video for True Force is shot on location, so there might be something to talk about, as well.
Please react Sugaan Essene .
Just subscribed, I enjoy the way you talk about it in depth, it adds more to the reaction as opposed to just staring at a screen and saying "cool"
I recommend to check out Skåld from France they are a Norse pagan band all in old norse with traditional instruments, their song Rùn is awesome and their most well known but if you wanna check out a better song in my opinion I would choose Yggdrasil.
Appreciate the support 🙏
@@ChaseCarneson not a huge fan of reaction channels but yours sticks out and does it right. Check out Skåld if you can! 🤘🤘
@@bigzcuz most certainly will do!!!
I cant wait when u react to Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal... I like how many unusual informations u bring in your reactions. U realy stand out from all reaction channels i watched. So i cant wait what i can learn from your opinion of Wintersun. Greetings from germany.
Even you can produce an octave to some degree. Sing a comfortably low "oo" vowel, then slowly change ti to an "ee" while bending your tongue back. There is a sweet spot. Of course they are able to much more than that. Search for "Mongolian overtone singing" and you'll hear some amazing stuff.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but if you watch with subtitles on, it shows the translations.
They interjected Mongolian throat singing with the lyrics.
Inventing new music based on your history is awesome!
I think you are referring to Alien Weaponry "Kai Tangata": ruclips.net/video/5kwIkF6LFDc/видео.html&pbjreload=10
Check out The Great Chinggis Khaan by them next.
Check out Alien Weaponry or Nine Treasures,
I don’t want to be rude. Is that South African accent ( which I love) , my point is , is there South African metal bands ? Excuse me for being stupid, I really don’t know. Just curious ?!? Nighwish and the Hu are my favorites and some Philippine metal too 🤘
Yes to both question, that's not rude at all. I actually want to dive into a few metal bands from SA and see what they're doing.
Your reaction channel is my favorite. You actually react and you know what you’re talking about. Thanks for doing these videos!
Metal is my favorite genre right now but I absolutely love throat singing and traditional music! Check out Eivør from the Faroe Islands, specifically this song/video. I don’t know if her style of throat singing is specific to her country but it’s different from other styles I’ve heard.

Thank you for that Tiffany.
Good in depth reaction once more. The Hu supported Babymetal on part of their US tour last year. They have recently been doing cooking videos while in quarantine in Australia.
The other band that supported Babymetal in the US was Avatar, you could check them out. From Sweden, this is one of my favourites Hail The Apocalypse ruclips.net/video/zKe8jze56Vg/видео.html
Cooking videos? That's fantastic!!!!
