The HU unveil cinematic Black Thunder video, announce new album

We have good news: The HU have unveiled details of their second studio album, Rumble Of Thunder! Earlier this year, the band released lead single This Is Mongol, which followed their acclaimed 2019 debut album, The Gereg.

Today, the band announced that their 12-track second studio album will be released on September 2 via Better Noise Music.

But there’s more… The HU have also dropped another new track, Black Thunder.

Speaking on the new single, vocalist Gala shares: “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.”

Gala adds: “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.” Speaking on their next studio album, he continued, “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.”
