Rising stars of Mongolian rock The Hu have launched a video for the second part of the epic song Black Thunder. The first part was launched last month, alongside the announcement of the band's upcoming second album, Rumble Of Thunder. Another single, This Is Mongol, was released in May.

"Black Thunder is the crown jewel of our second album," says vocalist Gala. "The music video is split into two parts and conveys the core values of men through visuals. Our producer Dashka chose a unique location in Mongolia to shoot the video, where we had a great time riding the horses in the vast grassland of our countryside." 

The Hu's tour with MegadethFive Finger Death Punch and Fire From The Gods kicks off this evening (August 19) at the RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater in Ridgefield, WA, and will climax at the USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley City, UT, on October 15, before the band head to Europe and The UK for more shows. Full dates below.

"We grew up listening to Megadeth," says Enkush, who sings and plays the morin khuur (horse head violin) in The Hu, "and can’t express how much they have inspired and motivated us to do what we love every day, so you can only imagine our excitement for our next tour with them. Everybody knows Megadeth is one of the four biggest trailblazers in thrash metal and to be performing with a modern band such as Five Finger Death Punch is truly going to be legendary."
