Mongolian rockers The HU have revealed the details of their upcoming sophomore album, Rumble of Thunder which is slated to arrive on September 2nd via Better Noise Music. A music video for their new single, “Black Thunder” has premiered and can be found below. You can also stream the track here. The clip was directed by Erdenebileg Ganbold and producer Dashka. Singer Gala shared:
“‘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. 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 the 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.”
Rumble of Thunder is available for pre-order now at this location.
At the end of the month, The HU will be making an appearance at the Fuji Rock Festival followed by a tour of Australia & New Zealand. Then, they will hit the road with Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth, and Fire From The Gods on a North American tour. That trek will be succeeded by a tour of Europe and the UK.
