The HU

The HU is a Mongolian heavy metal band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, and Mongolian throat singing, the band calls their style of music 'hunnu rock', hu being a Mongolian root word for 'human'.

In the years since its inception, SKÁLD has taken an unexpected path through the international musical landscape by breathing new life into the Viking spirit. Founded in 2018 when producer-composer Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet brought together some talents - among them the lead singer Justine Galmiche – to form an immersive musical project; SKÁLD embraces the ancestral spirit of the ancient skalds who chanted of the legends surrounding the peoples of the North and their gods. Through their music, SKÁLD take inspiration from the poetry of the ancient skalds who sang and told stories of the Vikings and their gods. Their music is characterized by singing in Old Norse and the use of ancient instruments including shamanic drums, talharpa, jouhikko and more.
