A homegrown folk metal artist.
OUR GOAL Blend globalized rock music with the UNESCO-registered cultural legacies of Mongolian throat singing, long song, and horsehead fiddle music in creating Mongolian rock metal songs while uniting fans in shouts of “hoo-rah”. OUR NAME Through impressive displays of power, using a tidal wave of “uuhai”, or “hoo-rah” in English, chants shouted in unison raised up to the blue sky, sun, moon, stars, earth, mountains, and waters, heroic men of ancient times have a long history of uniting their voices to increase their intensity as they forged into battle with little regard for their own lives. Shouting “uuhai” in unison has roots as a spiritual mantra as a sign of goodwill leading to good fortune and was used as a way of releasing energy, emboldening one’s spirits and stimulating the elements of one’s body.
Uuhai plays Mongolian folk metal, blending traditional throat singing and horsehead fiddle with heavy rock, as heard on their debut album "Human Herds".
Uuhai's members include ts. saruul (vocals, iron ore, accordion), B. zorigoo (morin khuur, khoomei), d. shinetsog-geni (morin khuur, khoomei), D. batbayar (percussion), and d. otgonbaatar (drums, songwriter, composer, producer).
