Pre-sale codes for THE HU are "THEHUN" and for APOCALYPTICA are "CELLOS." This tour comes after THE HU announced the recent release of their latest single, "The Real You." In a statement to Metal Injection, Temka – Temuulen N, THE HU's vocalist, explained that the song is part of their new album and is meant to express feelings that listeners may have buried inside.
The song marks one of the few times in which Western music components are prominent in THE HU's sound.
APOCALYPTICA formed in 1993 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland and originally set out to play a loving tribute to METALLICA before finding their own unique sound.
Their latest album, "Plays Metallica, Vol.
2," was released to widespread acclaim following the band's 25th anniversary.
