Mongolian folk metal sensations The Hun have announced a new album, Hun. The follow-up to 2022's Rumble of Thunder will be released on July 24, and is preceded by a new single, Lost Soul, which features a guest vocal from Jonny Hawkins, frontman with Texan rockers Nothing More.
"We have been unpacking our surprises one by one," says The Hu's singer and morin khuur player Galaaa. "Hunnu Rock transcends through culture, and in that respect, we have made Lost Soul with Jonny Hawkins.
"To be not lost on your life journey, not losing your values, and go through life and having the courage to face life obstacles are messages we are sending our fans through this song Lost Soul and in our next album, Hun."
"I am so excited to team up with a band as committed to their craft as The Hu," says Hawkins. "It's unlike anything I've done before."
The Hu have already released three singles from the album this year, including Warrior Chant, The Men and the decidedly Iron Maiden-flavoured single The Real You. The Mongolians will also be special guests at Maiden's upcoming 50th anniversary gig at Knebworth in July.
"We took our time to do this right, and we're so glad that we're almost ready to release what we have worked on these past few years," say the band. "Now, we are also focusing on the performances and working out a brand-new setlist.
"We want to play bigger venues so we can do extensive production, and bring in some amazing elements of our culture, and play these ideas to our fans. And, as well as our third album, we have some amazing ideas for another album already!"
Hun is available to pre-order now. The Hu are currently on tour in North America, and return to Europe for a run of dates in September and October with Skald. Full dates below.
