IoMP 164: The HU - Are They Rock or Metal?
Can Mongolian throat singing, traditional folk instruments, and massive guitar riffs coexist in the same band? The Hu proves they can—but does that make them a rock band or a metal band?
This month on Rock or Metal, Collin and Tom are joined once again by The Pumpkin Queen to tackle one of the most unique bands in modern heavy music.
Together they break down The Hu's explosive rise to international fame, the viral success of “Wolf Totem,” their collaborations with artists from Papa Roach, Halestorm, and Nothing More, and whether their songwriting pushes them into metal territory or keeps them firmly rooted in rock.
Along the way, expect plenty of laughs, running jokes, unexpected tangents, and the chaotic chemistry that makes Rock or Metal what it is.
Will everyone agree on the verdict? There's only one way to find out. Hit play and join the debate!
