Don't know what they're singing about but it's really well done.
And their instruments are fantastic.
-
Like.
-
I dig it.
-
That aspect ratio.
Watching the second one ... keep scrolling up to try to see the rest of the video.

I just realized that if you had a huge collection of Mongol rock you'd have both a hoard and a horde of music.
-
Pretty good.

On the first one: Click Closed Captioning on (they're in Mongolion), then settings->auto-translate-> Mongolian to English.
I don't know that you understand the song any better, but if anything it's more metal. There's a lion and snake in there doing something.
-
I find them kinda sorta reminiscent of that (Swedish I think?) band that does the soundtrack for "Vikings" on History Channel. I'm into this genre that I like to call "battle rock" but can never seem to find much of it.

Cool. Thanks.

The first song seems like a typical "let's party" track with wanting to take acid and race elephants which are both common elements of rock 'n roll from the beginnings of the genre. So pretty basic, but well composed.
The second song starts out like a dis track attacking someone or some people over that lack of enthusiasm or attachment to traditional Mongol culture. Which is just meh. But then it shifts into a call for Genghis Khan to rise up again and reconquer the Earth.
"Oh Black Banner be awakened, be awakened oh the Khanate rise and rise forever!" Now that's metal!
-
Genghis Khan would be tapping his foot.
-
I wasn't aware of it, but I need more of it
-
I can't get that melody out of my head.
-
Isn't this an example of cultural appropriation?
and if it is, the mongols are welcome to appropriate as much metal as they want because THAT WAS AWESOME!!

Aren't there several Scottish bands that do that?
-
Sabaton.

These songs got me digging into the Youtube rabbit hole.
Somebody put a mix together of really interesting songs. Some similar to The HU, some different, but still fascinating - like the Epic of Gilgamesh sung in the original Sumerian. Makes ya think when you listen to a ballad sung in a now dead language talking about a story that was ancient when that language thrived. Also a few off the wall songs, but overall pretty entertaining:

I'm not sure how to link to a Youtube mix other than this should take you to the first song with the playlist in your upper right.
-
Yeah, and Dad is now hooked on Mongolian metal. I think he went down another rabbit hole and found more bands.
-
I'm also really digging the Heilung with their proto-German tribal music. My barbarian ancestors are calling me. :)

I think you and Dad have gone down the same rabbit hole! :rofl: He was talking about some band this morning that he said was appropriate for both of our germanic heritages and I just asked him if it was the band you're talking about.
"Yes! They are weird!!" (and in this case, "weird" is definitely a compliment)

And I thought I found something decent and out of the mainstream a few years back with Darth Pineapple's* Winterborn . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVNjx4k8mWk
* - OK, not really his name. But from his haircut . . . it should be!

I found the Cruxshadows from their being in a couple John Ringo books I read back in like 200or so. (The series that takes a Nuclear Missile sub and makes it a space ship.) They have a couple pretty good tunes. Very electric though.

Funny this thread should come up.
I actually have tickets to see these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb2yBKQaHlE

Thread Necro!
The HU finally released some new songs since the two that started this thread. Great stuff. They have an album on Amazon now, but for some reason half the songs are listed as "unavailable".
https://youtu.be/pD1gDSao1eA
Also, sadly, the link I posted last year to the mix of similar music no longer takes you to the similar music. They now have a mix that includes the HU and Dolly Parton. Huh?
-
Nice necro!
Chingis Khaaaaan would be proud!
-
Necros, one pain can lessen another. =D
The Hu are part of a playlist I have on the tube of faces, Deep Roots. Long loved those boys.

Indeed. Makes me wanna chant Zulu war songs while throwing severed heads at the Roman invaders. =D
If Heilung appeals to your ear, you might like Kati RAN's live performance of SUURIN at MIDGARDSBLOT 2016.
