Closing in on the release of their debut album, Mongolian breakthrough rockers UUHAI offer another glimpse into the release with a new single. Named after the oldest surviving literary work in the Mongolic language, dating back to the late 1220s and recounting the life and conquest of legendary Genghis Khan, Secret History of the Mongols seduces with an enticing atmosphere.
UUHAI once again blend traditional sounds with modern rock, artfully contrasting an emotional guitar solo and goosebump-inducing “uuhai” chants—an ancient battle cry for good fortune—invoking a collectively bright future. Human Herds is out this coming Friday, January 9, 2026 via Napalm Records.
Starting on the same day as their album release, European fans will have a chance to chant along with the band during their tour with label mates NANOWAR OF STEEL.
UUHAI about Secret History of the Mongols: “This history is a sacred flame, consecrated by Father Heaven and Mother Earth. It is the undaunted gallop of ambition, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the everlasting scripture of the Mongol people.”
