Chart-topping rock act from Mongolia, The Hu, have been announced as part of Metallica‘s Special 30th Anniversary ‘Black Album‘ Reissue Covers Project, on which they cover the iconic group’s song “Through the Never.”
They appear on the track listing alongside some of the biggest names in music – Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Yo-Yo Ma, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, J Balvin with the Neptunes, Weezer, and many many more – who offer their own renditions of Metallica’s songs that originally appeared on the legendary LP. All profits from the project, formally titled The Metallica Blacklist, will be split evenly between the All Within My Hands Foundation and 50+ charities chosen by the artists who play on the album. The HU have chosen The Giving Day Charity Fund as their beneficiary. The Giving Day Charity Fund is a non-profit, non-religious organization of Mongolia reinforcing the fight against women and children and domestic violence, providing support and empowerment opportunities to vulnerable women, adolescent girls and children through access to education, arts and culture and wellbeing guidance since 2010.

The Hu are also hard at work on the follow-up to their hugely successful debut album. Recorded in their homeland over the past year, the band’s second album is in progress and fans can expect to hear new music soon. The band will also give a special preview of the project with live performances of new songs on their forthcoming tour dates announced today. Just last month, the group gave an update from the studio to fans via a video on their YouTube channel. Watch below.
The band are headed back out on tour across September and October in North America to reunite with fans and to celebrate the return of live music. The band have been announced as part of Halestorm’s headlining tour, making a fitting reunion with frontwoman Lzzy Hale, who collaborated with them on “Song of Women” from The HU’s #1 debut album Gereg, released via Better Noise Music. See a clip of Lzzy talking about the collaboration HERE.
