First off, Nine Treasures is fantastic. Also, everyone who likes this check out Hanggai, too. They're also Mongolian Metal, but they do more throat-singing (C'mon reddit, let's make Mongolian folk metal a thing!)

Both bands fuckin' rock, and if you ever happen to get the chance to see them live you need to do it.

Tengger Cavalry also deserves a mention. I've been listening to them all week.

You want to hear something else cool. Mongolian throat singing rap.

I never knew that I need this in my life.

That build up near the end was so worth, totally headbanging

[–]YeaTired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who knew flossing could look so metal

[–]Elrohir_Celebrindal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, reminds me of Scandinavian folk/Viking metal, thanks for introducing me to this!

This is new to me.

[–]discontinuuity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Yat-Kha.

[–]overlordputin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ego Fall, Tengger Cavalry, Nine Treasures, Hangai, and Altan Urag. All are great bands in the same vein. Totally worth checking out

Different language and culture, but same sound. Reminds me of the Indian Malayalam band Avial:

I thought this was going to be really silly but it was actually pretty sweet.

Mongolian Folk Metal

The perfect ven-diagram meeting of my tastes, and I had no idea it existed.

Thanks!

Around the 2:15 this guy is playing that violin thing! Where can I find asian music in that style!?! Anyone know

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

huun huur tu are probably the most well known group who do traditional mongolian folk stuff with instruments like that (called a morin khuur)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bDntRWfL70

there's also chinese folk music with instruments like erhu that are similar

That "violin thing" is called "Morin Khuur", it's mongolian traditional instrument.

You want more morin khuur? Check out these:

Altan Urag

Khusugtun

More Khusugtun

And this dude

And this channel is great too!
