With their mesmerizing sound echoing across the Mongolian steppe, breakthrough Mongolian rockers UUHAI have signed their first album deal with Napalm Records. Following viral success and millions of views on their very first songs, the seven-piece band is back—ready to unleash their long-awaited debut album, Human Herds, on January 9, 2026. Drawing from both the imposing history and awe-inspiring nature of Mongolia while reflecting on their roots and modern society alike, UUHAI presents a heartfelt love letter to their homeland—all in their native Mongolian language.
The first single from the powerful new album is the eponymous track, Uuhai. Blending traditional instrumentation such as throat singing and horsehead fiddle with a driving modern rock sound, the song fiercely recounts how ancient Mongolia drew its strength from a deep connection to nature, repelling both evil spirits and rival nations. The song culminates with the band chanting their name, a phrase that translates to a traditional battle cry for good fortune.
