Man, Mongolian folk metallers The Hu have been busy lately. After releasing a killer cover of Metallica’s “Sad But True” back in December, the band were featured on commemorative coins by the Bank of Mongolia, and now have another cover on Metallica’s upcoming Black Album tribute, Blacklist (they’re doing “Through the Never,” which we believe they’ll absolutely slay). To top it all off, the band have announced plans for a North American tour to kick of this fall.
