Mongolian folk metal phenomenon The HU have unveiled two brand new tracks, releasing the songs “The Men” and “Warrior Chant” as the first previews of their upcoming third studio album.
The gold-certified band debuted a Dashka-directed music video for “The Men,” while simultaneously issuing a standalone stream of “Warrior Chant.” Both tracks continue the group’s signature fusion of traditional Mongolian instrumentation and heavy rock — a style they’ve famously dubbed Hunnu Rock.
Vocalist Galbadrakh “Gala” Tsendbaatar shared insight into the philosophical themes behind “The Men,” explaining the song draws heavily from Mongolian cultural concepts centered on inner strength.
“‘The Men’ is written based on Mongolian philosophy of ‘Man’s Inner Spirit’ or ‘Хийморь’ and the importance of inner strength and kindness of a man to the world. Energy of men should always be reinforced with positiveness, strength and generosity, so this song try to encapsulate that ancient wisdom and share to the rest of humanity.
Lyrics are chants that guides young and old men alike to be headstrong and to have dream that cultivate goodness. We only wanted to focus on the positives that can make a man ponder about who he is in this world and wonder about how he can have positive inner spirit when listening to it. Hope our fans will be able to capture every fiber of Mongolian Man’s way of living through this song.”
Discussing the companion track “Warrior Chant,” Tsendbaatar emphasized the band’s evolving musical direction while maintaining their recognizable identity.
“‘Warrior Chant’ has our signature rhythm that our fans fell in love with and everyone who will listen and know us will say that it is ‘our song.’ Our third album has bit of everything, rhythm-wise, and we see that as a progress of expanding the Hunnu Rock genre… Enkush and I focused on horse head fiddle solos by imitating the horse gait and you will hear the rhythm throughout the song.”
Alongside the new music, The HU have mapped out an extensive international touring schedule spanning North America and Europe throughout 2026.
