BTW that word they use, KAOIKEN, is from Dragonball Z. It means to power up to the next level. I love Bloodywood, everything about their music exemplifies their message. No flag, we all have things in common, unite. Truly badass

This song is so powerful all around. I started listening to them in 2018 while I was going through treatment for my failed suicide attempt. In my 42 years on this rock, this is only the second song that's ever brought tears to my eyes. The first song was Jee Veerey. Their messages are so powerful that I feel them in my soul and touches it in such a profoundly uplifting way. I will forever cherish these guys for the joy and positive energies they've brought into my life with their music and messages.

Jee Veerey is a great song. Listened to it a bunch of times just appreciating it, but on the day that Endurant released, I listened to both and they brought me to tears. Such powerful songs.

Hey, bro...just saying, I struggle with the same thing you do. Jee Veerey also saved my life a few years ago -- kept me from ending it all. I use Jee Veerey, and now Aaj, to keep going. These guys are my mentors, in a way. Because how can you not keep fighting and pushing forward, when you hear the passion and strength from Jayant's voice? Dude just motivates me to keep going, to keep fighting. And bro, you've got this. I'm only a few years younger than you, and I know how hard it is. Some days I wake up, I don't want to do anything but go back to sleep. But every day I wake up, is another day my demons failed to take me down. So remember that: Another day you wake up, is another battle won. Another day you wake up, is another day the demons in your head failed to take you out. Be the founding stone of your mountain. Because the only thing standing between you and winning, is you. And you may not know it, bro, but many of us out here will not let you fail. And if you stumble or fall, we've got you. "When you can't run, you walk. When you can't walk, you crawl. When you can't crawl...when you can't do that...you find someone to carry you." ~ Firefly ep. 11, "The Message" So keep going. Keep fighting. You're stronger than you look. You've got this.

They did a documentary on their channel about their Raj Against The Machine Tour. Well worth a watch. It also encompasses their climb from obscure 2 man group doing covers to full fledged band.

I've been in this area where they filmed this video. It's more beautiful as you can see on a screen. The pictures in combination with the music make me feel homesick. I love India and the Indian people. Namaste from Germany and I'll come to India again as soon as possible.

"How freaking good this band is ?!" Indeed they are :)

I did not realize how much I needed a metal flute solo this morning.

You don't know you need the sounds of someone shredding a penny whistle until you've heard it and then it becomes essential to your happiness.

"The flute is a heavy metal instrument" - Ian Anderson. This is such an amazing band. Heavy with great lyrics and incorporating Indian folk music. So excited for their album!

Bloody wood without a doubt is my favourite band I discovered during in these pandemic years. Effing amazing!

Right?!! Totally agree dude. They're just off the hook on multiple levels and they just keep upping their game. Seriously, probably one of the most exciting and best bands on the planet right now. I actually got chills watching this. BTW, that's the Snake Charmer on guest vocals. Check out her lamb of God bagpipe cover of hourglass with the guitarist from Bloodywood. It's off the hook too. Just wild. Crazy talent.

I have a strong suspicion Rakshak will be a contender for album of the year! This song alone is an endless stream of goosebump moments. Needless to say, everyone should pre-order Rakshak! (I already have)

The female singer is a singer and bag pipe player known as"The Snake Charmer". You can find her channel on KZread

Bloodywood is beyond brilliant, and to top it all they are all lovely guys who help many causes in their community. Jayant is killing the growls, and you are right he has perfect hair and beard. Bloodywood have outdone themselves again. Your reaction is awesome 💕🤗

She is Archie Jay, stage name Snake Charmer. Great fusion of talent and yes a great reaction

Dude you're hilarious and honest I loved your reaction damn 😂😂😂

You noticed how Bloodywood just keeps getting better? My favorite bands are SLAYER, Rotting Christ and now BLOODYWOOD!

Wow! I am not able to close my mouth… it’s unbelievable! The sound, the build up, the talent, the voices, the lyrics/message! WTF: it’s just outstanding! Thanks for your reaction that introduced me to bloodywood

Wall of Life!!! haha i love that.. ppl rush at each other to give big hugs!! You might be on something!! Metal is still alive!!!!

Nice, almost reminds of the really old great Linkin Park, only a hell of a lot heavier. The blend of folk with metal with rap knocks your socks off. The songwriting is superb too. Great reaction! PS: She's the Snakecharmer and I had to be told. She's amazing. You just gotta react to one of her vids pretty please?

Just letting you guys know, Linkin Park Manager when they were at their peak is now their manager.

The music they already have out there, they have all done them self. Been patron for a long time now, have preordred the new album. Have tickets for the concert in copenhagen. ❤❤

Kinda over the rap metal stuff but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't badass. I LOVE fusion rock and metal (Wagakki, The HU etc) so this is right in that wheel house. Nevermind this is a fully independent project. I hope these goes go far.

This has a very hardcore Anime feel to it. I like it.

Bloodywood is the first band I've bought an album from and I already know I won't regret it

And here we go again, Bloodywood killing it and your reaction entertainging as usually...And that singing Indian beauty... if I'm not mistaken, her name is Archy J. She is a professional bagpiper. Very interesting musician lady.

There was also a flute in Jee Veerey. Go and listen to that. You will love it!

They are coming to America finally!!!!! Buying tickets tomorrow

Something clicked here: metal is the music of the frustrated. I was wondering why I started listening to it again - after more than 10 years. It'a a healthy way to scream together. I always wondered why metal fans seem to be some of the best people overall, regardless of what the sound intends to say. It's because these are good people that the world has let down, so they scream.

I was not expecting this, I saw Indian Folk and didn't see the "Metal" part until I was writing this. I just saved them on Apple Music. They kept saying Kaioken, and it kept me thinking of Dragon Ball Z.

It's been AGES since I have heard something so rich, emotional, uplifting, energetic, musically diverse and on top of that PROFESSIONALLY blended together by some unknown indian guys. And I don't even fucking listen to metal ffs. 😑 God/Muhammad/Yahwe/Buddha/Flying Spaghetti Monster Bless The Internet! ⚡

How do you come to watch a metal video and walk away wanting to learn the flute!!! Unbelievable

I was luck enough to see and meet them recently in Athens GA. These guys are so talented and humble. Great video break down! Ty

Just found your channel and LOVE it. Just discovered Bloodywood. Holy CRAP! I’ll go with you to see them live!

Having had Kim Thayil's aunt as one of my union mentors means I just gotta love this!

They’ll be in Sacramento at Aftershock in October. I’ll be there

Awesome, just watched the video again on their site. They brought in the Snakecharmer for her vocal talents, when all any of us have seen from her is her amazing skill with heavy metal dubstep bagpipes. This song is so amazingly international, in the comments you have a message from a Ukrainian fan followed by a message from a Russian fan, in the midst of war, both using this song to stay calm.

Love the band Love the song And love you for your videos. Salaam from India

You know, I could say a lot of things about this song, but at the core it's just this reaction: WOAH...

They show so much talent, energy and this was just epic in both video, lyrics, and sound. And indian Melissas vocals was beautiful. Cant wait to see what their next video will bring us 😀

Oh gawd damn that is beautiful n heart thumping. N so much more . Y’all. I need to see them live

I loved this reaction!! Thanks for appreciating such an amazing band!

I'm so agree with you, this band is soooo talented !!! I love them soooo much !!!! ( and yes, Jayant had perfect voice, perfect hairs and perfect beird )

Take care, my friend and thank you for this great reaction video! :)

I can't believe you didn't mention KAIOKEN! Great reaction, thank you!

The lady singing at the end is The Snake Charmer. Go look at her stuff too.

Love it! Great reaction too!

I am going to see them soon in the UK as they are touring, can't wait!

They will have a few concerts in Europe, Belgium, Poland, Germany, and UK. In september they will come to USA, Kentucky and California. Hope You will visit their concert =)

These guys are totally amazing! I love that they cover that which affects us all in some way. Keep it up guys.. maybe you can open more eyes & minds..♥️♥️♥️

Bloodywood hits differently! Beautiful reaction!

I think, this music is not just a metal song, this is a serious piece of art. If someone says, metal cant be beautiful.. they wrong, it can be! And i can actually bang or chill with this music

Bloodywood driving us crazy ...fkn beauty of heavy metal decoration with soft smoothy hard heavy deadly. Great proud of you guys .

1000000000000000% sure metal with the mix of goodness even u can share with kids.

Their sheer musical talent and amount of meaning behind their lyrics. They're just a powerful band and I think they'll only be growing.

It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

i allready pre-ordered the new album. i think they will smash up the album charts by release. they got a pretty big fanbase by now. and every song they released so far are just banger. the female singer is a musician too, called snakecharmer

11:20 a bit late to the party but i saw them at hellfest festival 2023 and i can tell you, they re definitely up for some giant walls of death ;)

This song really filled the void in my life

Not just metal, this a friking good music

Every song gives me chills.

Snakecharmer has KZread video where she plays with 2 other bagpipers (from Scotland and San Francisco) and does a mix of Shipping Up to Boston and Enter Sandman

Every song I've heard from them has been better than the previous one. This one is epic.

Theybare so ridiculous good these guys. Love it

Also, did you see Jinjer put out a new bass run through of their song "Colossus" from their last album today? The bass in that song is INSANE

I'm not ashamed to say the fucking flute solo made me tear up....fucking beautiful

Shout out from a Bloodywood fan in Baton Rouge!

Bloodywood ❤️❤️❤️

EXCELLENT SONG im just trying to remember where i heard that tune before i know of heard it i just cant quite put my finger on it

What they are contributing towards the Indian Metal scene is really commendable.

They are amazing

Never heard of them, great band!!!

I was just listening to this song for the 10203023th time and noticed the anvil sound around 7:10 when they were rapping about smashing things. Nice touch.

I love this band they are amazing

such a powerful voice woah

So damn good bro.

Please check out the lady, she is fun. Some others have already suggested a song, but my suggestion is: Mehndi Da Because... fusion

Like French proverb says, tout ce qui est simple est beau, every thing simple is beautiful, they are simple and powerful at the same time, a masterpiece!

@OldSkuleNerd I cannot agree with you more. This band just has an energy that is almost pure white. Amazing sound and messages in every song. To think, the much older stuff is Jayant and Karan being like Leo Moracchioli (Frog Leap Studios). They quickly became one of my favorite bands after I heard about them. They are also very humble which many of the bands I've met and hung out with were not. I could give you a laundry list of them. I was a roadie in the 90's and early 00's. Cannot wait for the album to drop. P.S. I would die laughing at a wall of rebirth happening at a metal show. Wall collapse ends with dudes hugging it out in the middle of the pit at a metal show. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But if one band could pull it off, it would be these guys.

If you're up for another great Indian band, try out Project Mishram - Kanakana.

I get that "Linkin Park" feelin hearing em singing, or maybe i just missin Chester?

I pre-ordered their vinyl, I don't even own a record player but I don't care, I just love them!

Awesome song , try My dying bride the dreadful hours live 🤘

Its Bloody good🤟🤟🤟

my bucket list . going to see slipknot with jinjer and in this moment in april

6:10 so you know the history quite well

Flute solo in metal on teafield...count me in

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

and the guy on the flute was a lawyer before doing this lol.

How good is Bloodywood? Bloodywood is bloody good. They are so ridiculously talented..it's mind boggling.
