Distorted throat singing? Electric morin khuur? Fuzzy hats? Singing about slaughtering villages with your khan? "War Horse" by Mongolian folk metal band Tengger Cavalry.

Apparently they did some music for Civ 6 and one of the later Doom games.

Another Mongol band is The HU. More melodic. They ride motorcycles though the steppes and have bow-and-arrow shaped guitars (it's actually a tovshuur which is some sort of lute) and swastika fret markers on their morin khuur, but the good kind of swastika.

I heard like 5 songs by HU a few months ago and that's all the Mongolian throat singing I need to hear for the rest of my life. Literally only good for setting the scene on some desert space barbarian planet in a Star Wars spin-off show.

Pretty much sums it up. Let's get them canceled.
