Mongolian rock band ‘Hu’ has been becoming famous internationally as their song ‘Wolf Totem’ reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales. The band is now preparing to tour Europe. This will begin in Berlin from 6 June and continue until 6 July. Tickets for the concerts will be available from 3 May.

Formed in 2016, the four-member band from Mongolia’s capital city of Ulaanbaatar, released a pair of songs last autumn. The ‘Hu’ incorporates traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat singing into its music, resulting in material that’s often hard-hitting, though without the sounds that most heavy metal acts might utilize, namely electric guitar.

After some initial buzz and media coverage in January, the songs, particularly “Wolf Totem,” have hit new heights thanks in large part to a viral Facebook post showcasing the track’s official video with the caption, “Mongolian Metal is Awesome.”

The Hu is currently prepping a debut album, Gereg, due via Eleven Seven Records.
