Very nice reaction....👍💪❤️ Please do " Dana, dan" (with CC on) or "Aaj" next... This guys are full independent and they really kicks some axx and have some serious messages behind their music. 🤨😁 Greetz from Germany
Speaking of the west, Bloodywood, Band-Maid and Nemophila are playing at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California this October! I'm really hoping all three bands will blow away the American audience 🤘😊🤘
Dude! Thanks for the heads up. I have looked at the line up and I'm not sure I can miss this festival. I gotta do some research. There are 15 bands on the bill that I have reacted to! And there are about 10 more that I just wanna see!
I hear ya! I'm waiting to see if they make it out to the east coast closer to me (I'm in Florida). If not, I also might have to take a trip to California 🤘😁🤘
At first, it was a youtube project to make metal covers of Bollywood songs. They make it good and got millions of views. Then they got an invitation to Wacken 2019. For three guys, guitar and both vocals, which have no band and never performed live, a honor and a risk of the Wacken producers. They take the challenge, added a bassist, a drummer and a dahl player, rehearsed like crazy and rocked the stage in Wacken (a side stage with an audience of "only" 10.000). For information: Wacken is a small village in northern germany, with more cows than inhabitants. It is the place of one of the world largest metal Open Air festivals (82.000 visitors). And it also very influential, play here as a band and you have the poof to be good.
Imo their 2 new releases are even harder/faster, and apparently they are on the verge of breaking into the top 200 on the billboard and will be the first Indian metal band to ever do so from what I've read.
So many great songs from these guys - check out Gaddar, Aaj, Dana Dan, Jee Veerey. There is also a great documentary about them called "Bloodywood - Raj Against the Machine (The Documentary)" that follows them on the road to Wacken. They seem like a great bunch of guys, so happy to see them getting attention.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the music breakdown. Lot's of bands have tried to merge traditional and metal but most of them fall into the trap of trying to get by by just putting in traditional instruments to basic (too harsh? Not sure what word to use here) metal songs. What makes Bloodywood stand out is if you take away the heaviness of their songs, what you're left with is basically a Bollywood pop song. It's that bouncy rhythm that works so well with the metal. These guys are absolute geniuses with how they found their sound too. They started out by covering Bollywood pop songs with a metal twist. All the while perfecting their sound. Also, they already did an EU tour. Wacken included. Absolutely killed it. Check the videos. Please do more Bloodywood reactions. Love from the Maldives 🇲🇻🤘
Great reaction mate, the drum is called a Dhol, there is also the Tabala being played too. They often put in a lot of traditional Indian instruments it's really cool. Please do more it's great to hear a breakdown from a musician! Jee Veerey, AAJ, Gaadaar, Yaad, Endurant, standard rabbit hole people go through with them. Keep up the good work.
that was.. surprisingly good. Very bouncy as you say, the traditional drums helps with that for sure. Riffs sounded like Limp Bizkit. Yeah, it was pretty good.
Funny you should mention Wacken - they’ve played it! If you check out their “Raj Against the Machine” mini documentary, you’ll get backstory on the band, plus live clips, plus general fun/mayhem
If you are going to react to Dana Dan from Bloodywood, turn on CC, so you can understand what they are singing about. And the blue lady in Dana Dan is Goddess Kali, just a heads up 🤟
Very nice reaction....👍💪❤️

Ahhh no way! I wonder if I can make that work. ... I do love some California. Haven't made it stateside since 2018..

Wait... what?!? They are coming to California? Where/when was this announced?
@@AGDinCA just look up the line-up for the Aftershock music festival 🤘😁🤘
Awesome! We jumped on the Bloodywood train today! Be sure to check out Gaddaar, Aaj and Dana Dan, awesome band!!!
Will do.
Amazingly Heavy Song. Want to listen even better?? React to Dana Dan! Trust me Rakshak will be album of the year from Bloodywood!

I'm glad they put it all together. They have a really interesting sound and clearly a strong passion.
Imo their 2 new releases are even harder/faster, and apparently they are on the verge of breaking into the top 200 on the billboard and will be the first Indian metal band to ever do so from what I've read.
Oh no way! Can't wait to see that.
Unfortunately Billboard is not counting the 2000 album copies sold on Amazon for some reason 😐

That doco title is exemplary.. 😁
Love Bloodywood!!!!!

Yeah I need to see some stuff from Wacken.
Great discourse on the drum work👍... Opens up a new way to hear it now
Thanks for that. I wish I had better knowledge of drums as an instrument. But this performance was super interesting to my ears.

I think I came across a clip from that show. I'll have to review it.
You need to listen to the album, Rakshak. It's fucking AMAZING.
Gotta admit, I didn't hate it. You're right Prym, that groove did sit in a funny spot. Nice job
Yeah it's rhythmically different, but it just works! Thanks for checking it out!
If you are going to react to Dana Dan from Bloodywood, turn on CC, so you can understand what they are singing about. And the blue lady in Dana Dan is Goddess Kali, just a heads up 🤟
Thanks for the tip!
that drum is Dhol
Thank You!
That Indian drum is called "DHOL"
Please checkout Tengger Cavalry "Cavalry in Thousands". That is also quite unique (nomad metal)
I'll take a look!
