Innovative Mongolian rock group and global phenomenon The Hu – featuring Galaa, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush – has released a new digital EP Echos Of Thunder via Better Noise Music. It contains alternate versions of three standout songs from their album, Rumble Of Thunder.
‘This Is Mongol’ receives the remix treatment by Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, working under his remix alias Teerawk. Teerawk brings his signature energy to the track, layering in additional vocals and lyrics that both complement and expand upon William DuVall’s (Alice In Chains) original vision. The EP also contains ‘Bii Biyelgee’, featuring Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, and ‘Triangle’, featuring Rome, offering listeners a diverse and compelling reimagining of the original album’s spirit. The EP also includes the original versions of ‘This Is Mongol’, ’Bii Biyelgee’, and ‘Triangle’.
“I am glad that our label partners at Better Noise Music suggested this EP because, as I like to say, from classic rock to heavy metal, our genre of Hunnu rock has no limits,” said frontman Galaa. “The Echos Of Thunder EP presents an opportunity for more collaborations with different artists to expand on our original music. We hope our loyal fans will enjoy these new versions of songs from the Rumble Of Thunder!”
In touring news, the European leg of The HU’s headlining Incarnation world tour kicked off in June and will coincide with a series of shows supporting Scandinavian folk band Heilung on their final tour.

Previous recipients include Celine Dion, Shirley Bassey, Sarah Brightman, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, and World Orchestra For Peace.
