Heavy metal pioneers Iron Maiden bring their Future Past World Tour to Charlotte’s Spectrum Center this week. Having sold over 130 million records over 17 studio albums, 13 live albums, and numerous compilations, the English metal band have received multiple industry awards, including a Grammy in 2011 and a Brit Award in 2009. The tour will feature songs from their most recent studio album, Senjutsu, as well as 1986’s Somewhere In Time, along with other fan favorites.
The Hu is a Mongolian folk-metal band formed in 2016, known for their fusion of heavy metal with traditional Mongolian music integrating ancient singing styles and instruments like the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), tovshuur (lute), and tumur khuur (jaw harp). The term “Hunnu rock” references the Xiongnu (Hünnü in Mongolian), an ancient nomadic empire from Mongolia that inspires much of the band’s identity and themes.
