How A Mongolian Heavy Metal Band Got Millions Of YouTube Views

The Hu call their style "hunnu rock" — from the Mongolian root word for human being: "hu."

The band spent 7 years putting together its first album, which it expects to release this spring.

They plan to call it Gereg, the name for a diplomatic passport used during the time of Genghis Khan.

This shit is dope and I like it.

I like that shit too. Make sure to remind us all when the album is released please.

7 years? Amateurs....

Yeah, we all know how the professional bands work, 13 years, no less, that's what I call quality.

Early release track from Perturbator's as-yet-untitled fifth album, coming 2019 via Blood Music

That Mongolian band was pretty good.

Big Business - "The Beast You Are" (April 12 / 2019, Joyful Noise Recordings)

Big Business are a band. They play heavy rock. On that, we can all agree. Things get tricky when you try to classify exactly where on the musical spectrum the dynamic duo’s racket falls. “I guess psychedelic heavy metal punk rock? I don’t know. People always say ‘sludge rock,’ which I always found to be lazy and kind of inaccurate. A lot of our songs are fast, and it’s not like we’re playing a half-assed Black Sabbath riff over and over again. That’s been the struggle of the band. We’re a band that doesn’t really fit into what everyone else is doing,” according to drummer Coady Willis.

Willis comes from punk rockers The Murder City Devils. His co-conspirator, bassist/vocalist Jared Warren, spent time in noise rock weirdos Karp. Together, they formed Big Business in 2004. The LA-based outfit’s first three albums didn’t quite mesh with Hydra Head’s post-metal aesthetic, but their idiosyncrasies caught the attention of another iconoclastic outfit: The Melvins. They recorded three albums, an EP, and various songs between 2006 and 2016 with that iconic grunge/doom/experimental act, all while maintaining their own identity as Big Business.

Along the way, they picked up guitarists Toshi Kasai and Scott Martin, but on 2016’s Command Your Weather, they returned to their core duo format. They remain in that lineup on their sixth full-length, The Beast You Are.

“It’s just better. We work faster, and we know what we’re both going for. It gives us more room to be weirder in certain aspects and try different things. It makes sense because that’s how we established ourselves in the beginning and how we learned to write songs together, it was just the two of us. Coming back to that lineup felt natural.” The two performed everything on the album, which was recorded between the early November and early December of 2018 at El Studio in San Francisco by Phil Becker (Pins of Light, Terry Gross). Willis, Warren, and Becker handled the mixing, with Carl Saff lending his mastering expertise to the final product. Once more, Warren has hacked up some construction paper for one of his unique cover art pieces.

With a new, dynamic demoing process leading to the creation of the most songs they’ve ever written for an album, The Beast You Are delivers 13 doses of uncategorizable heavy rock music. From the ominous death march of “The Moor You Know” to the soaring “Let Them Grind” to the delicate, ethereal “Under Everest,” Big Business continue to defy listener’s expectations. There are hints of Melvins, Torche, and Tad, but these two bring their own off-kilter sensibilities to the genre. No matter the context of their music, however, one thing remains true: they are definitely still a band.

New Chemical Brothers album called No Geography out next month (4/12). I am not a massive Chemical Brothers fan but I do enjoy some of their stuff and I respect the impact they have had on dance/techno. This will be their 9th album and these guys just keep going.

I'm seeing them in May. Super hyped. Their stage visuals are wild. I haven't heard anything from the new album that hits me yet, but maybe it will grow on me.

And another new one from The Chemical Brothers. Watch out Lewis you got some competition this year

Great video, looking forward to hearing the album when it comes out.

New Latitudes album out today. If you enjoy post metal and have never heard Latitudes you are missing out. High quality shit

I'm digging this.

I'm digging this.

Yep me too. Both songs they have released so far off the new album are very good. Really looking forward to the new album. I assume you heard the first track they released already right? Borderlines?



Gold & Grey will be out on June 14th.

Yeah Borderlines didn't do much for me. Too reminiscent of their last album, which I didn't care for. Seasons is cool though, so that gives me hope that I'll like this new album more.
