The song appears on the band’s sophomore album
Mongolian rock sensation The Hu has shared their first-ever animated music video for the deeply moving, environmentally conscious song “Sell The World.” It is featured on their sophomore 2022 album Rumble of Thunder and its deluxe version, released earlier this year via Better Noise Music. The compelling animated video depicts environmental villains taking nature’s limited resources for granted and ruining the planet for generations to come.
“The ‘Sell the World’ music video is the first-ever animated music video from The Hu,” shares producer Dashka. “It’s our way of expressing the love we have for our earth. From the name of the song to the content of the video, we use sarcasm and exaggeration to show the unpleasantness of the world. It was easier to use the graphics and 3Ds to create visuals for the exaggerated message that the song has in its lyrics. Throughout past albums, The Hu’s songs positively reinforce the message of protecting the earth and keeping nature intact. However, on this video we took a completely different, polar opposite approach to the song’s message by reminding listeners of the limited resources of this earth. The female in the video represents the mother earth we are singing about.”
Rumble of Thunder Deluxe Version is available now via digital download or on CD, cassette and various special edition vinyl offerings. The extended album includes seven new tracks including four acoustic songs and three newly recorded singles featuring guest musicians including Alice in Chains vocalist William Duvall, Bad Wolves’ Serj Tankian, DL, and LP.
In coordination with the “Sell The World” video debut, the band has announced the support acts for its US West Coast Warrior Souls Tour. Finnish nu-metal group Blind Channel and California-based rockers NERV will join the band starting next week in San Francisco, CA through October 26th in Phoenix, AZ. Currently, The Hu is on the last leg of their co-headlining Psycho Thunder US tour with Asking Alexandria and will appear this weekend at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA.
