The Hu have announced their long-awaited second album.
The 12-track follow-up to 2019's 'The Gereg' is called 'Rumble Of Thunder' and will arrive on September 2 via Better Noise Music.
Following This Is Mongol, the band have shared a second single called Black Thunder, which incorporates Mongolian folk with throat singing with Western rock and metal. Lyrically, it covers themes of battle, faith, and death, which is mirrored in the first part of an epic two-part video, directed by Erdenebileg Ganbold and producer Dashka. Vocalist Gala shared:
"Black Thunder is the crown jewel of our second album. The music video is split into two parts and conveys the core values of men through visuals. Our producer Dashka chose a unique location in Mongolia to shoot the video, where we had a great time riding the horses in the vast grassland of our countryside. We hope that our pride in our culture shines through, as we aimed to bring viewers joy and a piece of our culture through this video."
Commenting on the record, he added: "Our second album will include Black Thunder, along with many new songs. We can’t wait for you to listen and enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it."
The Hu will bring their Black Thunder Tour to Europe in the autumn, with UK and Ireland dates scheduled for November and December. They also have Australian and New Zealand gigs in the diary, as well as North American shows with Five Finger Death Punch and Megadeth lined up for the summer. Tickets are on sale.
