It's called throat singing. The band actually consists of four primary members and four "touring members".
The primary members are:
Gala - Galbadrakh Tsendbaatar - Instrument Morin Khuur / Throat Singing
Jaya - Nyamjantsan Galsanjamts - Instrument Tumur Khuur/ Tsuru / Throat Singing
Enkush - Enkhsaikhan Batjargal - Instrument Morin Khuur/ Throat Singing
Temka - Temuulen Naranbaatar - Instrument Tovshuur / Backing Vocals
I want to see what you just typed as a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune.
they have guitar, bass, drumms too...
@@bayarkhuubayarsaikhan575 You are correct but unless something has changed those are not "official members" of the band.
@@s.kenthamilton8745 Yeah base 4 full members (the main singers) and 4 "touring members" (2 drummers, guitar, bass, backing vocals.) Man check out their concert videos, they really do bring it live!
Btw they released sad but true metallica cover a couple weeks ago
It is a very good cover
@@magnus70538 it's a killer cover.
@@magnus70538 I like it way more than the original!
It's an awesome cover and @OldSkuleNerd should definitely check it out
Here's a selection of the lyrics from the song.
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
HU HU HU HU HU HU HU HU
It should be noted that, in Mongolian, "Hu" translates to "The People".
Gods this song is metal as fuck.
Side note their huge Metallica fans, love it,
I really like their song "Woman Song" with Lizzy Hale of Halestorm
yeah that song is waesome
@@PeoplecallmeLucifer Oh, hell yeah. Great collaboration. Lzzy is perfect for that song.
They were also commissioned to write the opening track for the videogame Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The video of them performing it is very cool, you should check it out.
It’s an awesome song , I just saw the song / video for the game. I love it . Keep doing your Amazing reactions. You were the first reactor I ever saw and that was back when you first started. I Love the way you include your family. Caroline rocks , she’s a doll and very funny.
ooooh other The Hu songs to check out? okiedokie here's a few:
1. Sad But True
2. The Great Chinggis Khan
3. Song of Woman feut Lzzy Hale
4. Wolf Totem feut Jacoby Shaddix
5. Sugaan Essenna (from Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order)
6. Yuve Yuve Yu
"anybody get a sons of anarchy vibe?" nope i just hear klingons happily going to war. XD
More of a Vikings vibe
Traditionally, that horse head fiddle is strung with one string made from hair from a stallions tail and one string made from a mares tail hair...
Traditionally the Horse Head also faces the audience the members of the HU chose to have theirs facing toward them. Oh and the colours are Blue for Lightning, Red for Fire, Green for Earth.
The bike sounds are also used as music intentionally and the end the strings made the eagle noise as the eagle fly away at the end
WHAT. Thank you for sharing that! I've seen countless reactions and comments to this video and no ones ever mentioned that. That's awesome.
In an interview the director of the video said the motorcycles were supposed to be a not so subtle nod to the Ghenghis horde.
Also, Mongolian throat singing is definitely a rabbit hole worth diving into on YT.
Real motorcycle club. These men are some of the mellowest, soft spoken, gentle people you will ever meet. Most Mongolians learn to throat sing, polyphonic.
Gotta love a 700 year old war chant set to metal music!
"I don't have any thoughts of my own. I have kids." Died laughing.
What you're hearing is traditional Mongolian throat singing. He is basically, to my understanding, vibrating his vocals cords while singing harmonically over it.
I am so happy for world culture week! This band deserves all the love and praise they get. The only negative is I was speaking with someone from Mongolia when I saw these guys in concert and they said that because of their explosive popularity they actually had very few opportunities to see them in Mongolia because it was like two years worth of touring. Obviously covid changed all that and I suppose it is a good problem to have but I just want these guys to be shared everywhere with everyone.
Also.... I have no musical talent..... makes me want to try and learn the mouth harp
I think the guy that holds the record can do something like 5 tones at the same time, it's crazy stuff
Yeah when he was saying there are 20 people making that noise I was thinking... No more like 2 or 3 from the band unless it's a chorus part.
3 of the main guys plus at least 2 of their backing musicians (not in this video) do the throat singing.
The guys behind them in this video are members of the Mongolian Chopper Brotherhood club who a few of the band are part of.
They are awesome ... and even more so live.
Other suggestions for their music: "The Great Chinggis Khan" and their cover of "Sad but True" :)
Horsehead fiddles (morin khuur) are incredibly interesting musical instruments. The lute the is being played is called a Tovshuur. I love how the Hu have incorporated traditional Mongolian instruments & throat singing into Hard Rock.
You need to check out "The Great Chinggis Khan". Such an awesome song by the Hu Band
Throat singing uses overtones as does a digiridoo. That is why it sounds similar.
Edit: a mouth organ (i think that's what ot's called) also uses overtones.
I've heard it called a mouth harp. Probably an interchangeable names
the Hu, great band. Know them from the beginning
they sound like that naturally for the most part. its called mongolian throat singing. its really impressive and only a few small groups know of this technique
Ahh! The HU is just pure awesome! Throat singing sounds so cool and their songs really gets one pumped up! I really can't wait to see you check out Song of Women feat Lzzy Hale! But I would say, take one of your daughters with you when you do it, so see how they feel about the song and what they sing about in it!
Definitely look this one up, it’s so respectful to their Moms. Amazing song.
Lizzy Hale with them doing "Song of Women" is amazingly powerful.
Wow, I've never watched or even heard this band before, but I really do like this. Thank you for your reaction, it was great. Take care & stay well. 🤘
It is a war chant. Ancient one. Really.
One of the greatest live shows I've ever been to. The atmosphere was just amazing. My favourite song must be Shireg shireg, simply because they even make sounds of horse hooves and neighing live. Their live performances are just so authentic.
I asked you to do this a month ago 😁😁😁 thanks for finally getting around to it
The imagery the HU created with the Old Mongolian Warriors on horseback and the modern Mongolian Warriors on “Iron Horses”, absolutely badass.
You need to watch this with the subtitles on ... the lyrics for the song are very ... Khan-ish ... remember your comment about Ghengis Khan killing everything in his way? Yeah, this was his battle hymn back then ...
If Chinggis khaan were killing lots of people?! Why is in the music said: evil intentions? Then who is evil intentions towards to Mongols right? That’s the answer right there.
The Chinese know what it's like to be on the wrong side of the Mongols. What a period of history.
Haha lol
If anyone wondered WHY the "Great Wall Of China" had to that massive - These folks were the key motivator ^_^
The Hu made a Cover of Metallica Sad but True. Brilliant! Greetings from Germany
Its an old Mongolian war song that why it has that vibe
That my friend it’s called Mongolian throat singing and it’s really really hard to do
You got the theme perfectly. There is a version with subtitles. I kinda prefer without the distraction. The video Yuve Yuve Yu is beautiful with great use of drone footage to create an epic video.
Another non-metal group that is often enjoyed by metalheads is Heilung, with Krigsgaldr being a well-known song. Just do a auick search for a thumbnail and you'll have a good idea what you are in for.
I will check it out
I agree to Heilung's "Krigsgaldr" also "Alfadhirhaiti" is another good one
@@OldSkuleNerd You have lack of knowledge on history or you did say that on purpose.
First of all he was called Chingiss khan not Gengiss khan and he did not kill everyone on his way without thinking nothing or reason that is fact.
Second, Mongolian empire under Chingiss khan was allowing every nation and country freedom of religion who did not resist them and united them peacefully.
Last, yes there was violence during Mongolian empire. But remember how much respect and freedom those countries received from Chingiss khan who peacefully united with them. I recommend you to study history from other resources about others history.
I studied in America for years and I learned a lot and I always appreciate it. However i did not like how American schools (education system) change others history on purpose and teach it to it’s people and others from all over the world.
Even in 1200s Chingiss khan never slaved people like someone slaved black people just hundred years ago.
LIKE SOMEONE.
07:15 «I'm sure they're lovely people»
Lovely enough to open a couple of Babymetal shows. 🤘
You might want to check out Yuve Yuve Yu. Great song. Beautiful video.
this is pure throat singing....nothing more!
Jealous ?
Thanks for this! One if my favourite bands ever:) Check The HU's live concert from UA-cam, it's awesome:) From their website: "The band’s name The HU, is the Mongolian root word for human being. They call their style “Hunnu Rock”…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."
Such a treat , I discovered them 2weeks ago. I ❤️ them.
They have some great stuff. They do a crazy cover of Sad but true by Metallica and yes the song with Lzzy Hale is great as well but Yuve Yuve Yu is one of my favorites
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! My favorite! The lead singer is throat-singing. Your interpretation of the video is spot-on. The subtitles said, don't cross us...we will end you. Not in those words, but the same idea!
They're pretty good with the CC, so it never hurts to turn CC on with their videos.
The Hu are amazing you must react to Gengis Khan song is even better!!! Song Yuve yuve yu is on your head for days!!!
I’m ready to conquer the neighborhood!!
Yo, OSN, it is called Mongolian Throat Signing, their style is their own called Mongolian Rock. The band is 4 members. Their instruments are self and hand made. If you like their original versions like this, check out their collaboration remakes. They do this one with Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, they do Song of Women with Lizzy Hale, and Yuve Yuve Yu with Ashes to New. They did some of the theme music for the game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order as well. And their Sad but True cover is awesome as well.
Dude, I want to see your reaction to their collaborations
I'm still kicking myself for missing their performance about a mile away from where I live.
The day after, I found out someone I know was selling one of their tickets because a person cancelled, which made it all sting even more.
You should definitely take a look at the subtitles.
For this song they were indeed singing about battle or defending their home lands.
In other songs they mention Chinggis Khan and the mongol empire.
Another awesome thing they do is mimicking a horse whinny with their fiddle. (I think in yuve yuve yu)
I really wanted to see that live.
Have a great day 🤘
You need to do the Hu's cover of Sad But True. It's the classic Metallica tune done in their style, and the lyrics are directly translated to Mongolian.
"Endless Love" - dude, you're demented lol These guys would've fit right into my early 70s Zep / Deep Purple / Black Sabbath rotation. hehe.
Basically a Mongol War chant updated for today hehe
There are so many recation videos, but you are the only one who has commented on the singing, music and even the music composition. You talk about how the music reminds you if something else, and you talk about how awesome the music composition and arrangement is. It is just very cool and informative. Keep it going man, I look forward to all of your videos
Is this not some of the most amazing stuff you've heard in forever? I find it amazing and awesome and I don't even care that I have zero clues as to what they are singing about it sounds awesome and ever since I first heard them I can't stop listening to them...
The HU was going to come to my area last June but Covid hit and I never was able to see them. Next time they come around I'll definitely go see them.
Hitting all the good ethnic metal today i see!!
not all I AM SURE there are many more to go :) and I LOVE IT!!!!
I been watching Hu in the kitchen, I so waiting for my best cooking buddy to be allowed to come over so we can cook.
I love the HU. Saw them live once in Berlin.
HIghly recommend listening with captions on (it gives the english translation of what they're singing about)
It's always fun to see someone inducted into the HU fan club.
Some of their official videos have the translations in the captions, you should turn them on. the lyrics are actually pretty powerful.
You can check UA-cam for'HUs in the Kitchen' and see them cooking traditional Mongolian measw when they were on tour around the world.
Ah, motorcycles, these modern horses...
This is a war chant, there is a version with English translation in cc.
There are also some good live videos on YT, they are really good. You get to see more very interesting traditional instruments used on stage.
Halestorm from USA!
lol.....you're checking all the boxes today.....try their cover of Metalica"s Sad But True.......you'll hear Jaya with a mouth organ ..... Song of Woman with Izzy Hale is also a good one
Hey Old skule, love your work & thanks for Leo Moracchioli, Wagakki band and many others.
If you enjoyed Wolf Totem by The Hu I strongly recommend checking out the version they did with Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach, it really takes Wolf Totam to the next level
Now you have to do the version of this song with Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach
My first thought when he asked for more
Mongolian throat singing is that dijery do (sp?) sound you here. They've been singing that way for thousands of years. It's so incredibly cool
They are going to be releasing a deluxe album where they did their songs with rock metal English singers. They are all AMAZING! Definitely check out more of their music. These guys look tough but they want peace and environmental balance throughout the world.
Saw them live in Toronto when they were here. Absolutely next level experience. If you get a chance to see them, do it.
Just went to Amazon and got the album love the HU !!
Wow. That's is mind blowing, what they did!
It's cool that the HU have done collabs but I find their solo "just the HU" music to be their best stuff.
Badass song! Love these guys
Hello for Alexandria! Just found your channel, keep up the good videos! Check out the version of this song with Papa Roach, most of the lyrics are in english so you can get an idea of the story behind this song.
It's great to see other fans in louisiana!!
What i like about that version and any version they collaborate with is that isn't all English. They let them do a verse and refrain parts but they still have about half the song with Mongolian lyrics and that's awesome.
@@MagnetHero 👍
All the singers here use a lot of throat singing techniques, very common in all corners of Asia. Also you'll notice a lot of vocal fry. What makes the lead singer interesting is that he is playing with some overtones as well, he has is base tone but with his abilities and just physical make up he also has a higher tone coming out on top of that base tone, giving you that didgeridoo sound.
The song is literally a call and respond war cry hype up song to hype your army and intimidate the enemy, can say if you came over a hill and a whole army was doing this I would just turn around and leave lol
And they also have a song in one of the newer Star Wars video games.
..and yes, it is a fighting song.
Its throat singing my dude , ive always wanted to learn but im afraid im going to blow my voice lol
these guys are awesome i really like the cover song they did METALLICA SAD BUT TRUE AWESOME
Thanks for sharing this with us...
You are so real...
do a vid about .the hu black thunder .it is the bedst number they have made :) and as a starwars nerd i love it ,becourse it is used in the game jedi fallen order :P
You can find the song on EA's channel i think or search Sugaan Essena
"I'm sure they are lovely people." You can see them do cooking and other things on their channel, they are totally nice guys.
"Can you imagine being on the wrong side of these guys." - Yes, I would need my brown pants.
It is a war chant the Mongols would use to get psyched up for combat. The lyrics/subtitles are great.
I hope you react to a few more of their songs! It's like the foxhole, just draws you in.
I love them the. First time I heard them
I like your videos mate, keep going
Love diverse bands. Their instruments are wicked.
These guys are so good and so different from the normal music you hear. Please react to their colab with Lizzy Hale, Woman's Song, it's amazing, you'll love it.
The Horse Head instrument is Morin khuur or also known as horsehead fiddle, is a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument.
Jesus dude do you ever stop?
Still want you to do Ningen Insu's 'Heartless Scat'
And also reminding you that you need to get the video with the english subtitles so you can get the lyrics. They are pretty deep and tell a story in conjunction with the music.
I'd like to second the request for Ningen Isu; it's a group of old Japanese men playing metal music in traditional Japanese attire. What's more is that their level of technical musicianship is incredible and their singing is almost another instrument.
@@lotuswraith I third that request. Nigen Isu, Heartless Scat please!
fourth, go for ningen isu
Fifth for Heartless Scat
Shabadabadio
Sixth
Bobaflex : Bury me with my guns on. From West Virginia (OH/KY/WV tri-state area)
You have to check out The Hu and Lzzy Hale collaboration
try to give Yuve Yuve Yu a listen/reaction its on location in mongolia
You should have the subs on or use the link with the subs. You miss half of it!
Thank. You. From. Mongolia
The colab with Jacoby Shaddix is the pretty good, it's the same song as this one, they just alternate between Mongolian and English lyrics.
But I really think you should do "The Song of Woman" colab with Lzzy Hale, there is also a "making of" video you ought to watch, it gives some good insight on how the colab was created. There is also a English lyric video to the original song that will help you understand what the song is about.
10:50
Dude he was terrified lol.....😂😂😂
For US bands... have you met Home Free yet? Their music is all over the map. They cover Boyz II Men "End of the Road," "Man of Constant Sorrow," "Ring of Fire," "Hillbilly Bone," "In the Blood." They have some brilliant originals "Champaign taste on a Beer Budget," "Quarantine," "Dive Bar Saints" "Warmest Winter" and "Snow Globe." Their mash-ups are pretty awesome too "Country-Fried Pop Medley" and the "Butts Remix."
The biker club with them is the Mongols. It’s why they’re with a Mongolian throat singing band
There's a version out there with English subtitles.
There are places in Central Asia that to this day, nearly 1000 years later, still have recovered from the mongols. These guys kicked everyone’s ass
I swear, you could segue from this right into the end part of Zep's "When The Levee Breaks" seamlessly....
If I'm not mistaken they build the Great Wall of China to keep these people out. They are the real deal for sure. And obviously the motorcycle is the iron horse.
Can you imagine going to a Babymetal show in the US and then this is the opening band ? Yep, that was a thing. :-)
The other opening band that Babymetal tour was Avatar.
Hilarious reaction !
This is pretty much like a war song ,the lyrics basically is saying that they will defend what is rightful at any cost & on
whatever is thrown at them including another human with bad intentions!..😎
Great review & reaction!..👍
You are very well infomed...
