A Gift for my White Scars Brothers

[Brother Lunkhead]

Hail Sons of the Khagan

 

Even though I am completely loyal to the XIII Legion and Ultramarine Chapter ( they are BLUE you know) I have always had a great admiration for Jaghatai Khan and the White Scars.

 

A few days ago a friend of mine introduced me to a Mongolian metal band called The HU. My first impression was that if the White Scars sang in battle this is what it would sound like.

 

To that end I present a humble gift of brotherhood:

 

 

I hope you enjoy it.

I'm sure I never would have known about it had not a friend shared it.  Did you like it?

Even better, they've announced an album this summer, and a tour later in the year.

Suitably impressed here, had no idea “Mongolian metal” was a thing?!

[Panzer]

Well it hasn't been a thing for very long. There are some extremely few others who tried something similar but none of them did it as well as The Hu. ^^

Looking forward to the album (The Gereg). It should be out this summer. It might even inspire me to build a White Scars army

Think of it like this:

 

Any nation that has a music scene, probably has their own metal bands. We just don't hear about them because Metal, as a genre, tends to not be really super mass-marketable unless its specific types, and even then, it's usually less marketable than rock or pop.

 

That being said, Mongolian is a language that I honestly feel lends itself to metal very well to non-speaker's ears, much like German or Japanese.

There's a difference between a nation having a music/metal scene and a metal band heavily inspired by some really old and traditional way of singing. ^^

Going to be seeing these guys in November when they invade Colorado Springs
