My favorite Bloodywood song is 'Endurant'. Definitely worth a listen. 'Ari Ari' is another really good one.

got to be honest, that part near the end where it got quiet and some kind of traditional song was playing, the old guy with the instrument, the little goat, the women and girls looking at the camera, it was a beautiful moment and i got teary. It was a really fresh contrast to the aggressive message, almost like: here is a reminder of the victims we are standing up for. Really liked it.

I started following you after your Nightwish reactions - never thought you'd react to something from my country (from my city). Pleasantly surprised! NOW, I'm gonna watch the video. 😝 Edit: I watched the video. I agree about the hip hop stuff - I don't think it's their strongest point. I often forward those bits. I think the blend of traditional Indian (Punjabi) sounds and traditional metal sounds is enough to give them something "unique". They shine in those parts and sound bloody (😉) awesome. If you want to check out more songs by them, I recommend Ari Ari. Cool if you don't. ✌🏾

Yes! Ari Ari is awesome. Blodywood's music always put me on the best mood. :)

I like how honest he is

I stumbled upon Bloodywood in their beast of a track Ari Ari. Absolute must listen. I've lost count the number of times I've listened to it and watched it. Love your reactions to BabyMetal as well, thank you for all the work you do.

They started off doing hard-core spoofs of Bollywood songs (which are mostly awful and treacle-y), and some of their satirical videos went viral, so they decided to get more serious. If you want to do another by them, this is their biggest youtube clip: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2h606mJgrS9drA.html. If you want to continue the World Tour, a great one is Alien Weaponry "Kai Tangata": kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5-rq81_Zq-sdMY.html

Bloodywood are AWESOME for so many reasons and not all of them are purely about music! Make sure though that you actually DO watch the videos to the end with this band because they often include important messages and/or funny outtakes of their video shoots there. It will tell you A LOT about what this band and the people in it are all about and it's just simply amazing!

uniqueness makes it fresh, the goodness makes it good.....THIS IS FUCKING DEEP, MEANINGFUL AND ALMOST OVERSPENT ON JUST A MUSIC VIDEO...

Started following you because of the great insights and appreciation you have for Nightwish, found Bloodywood myself a while back, along with the HU, and I love watching you breakdown musically whats going on. Im gonna keep reccomending Liliac for you, because of their age and abilities you'll enjoy them. they've got some great covers, and some really awesome original content as well. keep up the good work man.

Ari Ari by Bloody wood is their best song to date. Also I wanna push Myrath (like the guy below) - blazing Tunisian metal, amazing musicians and amazing guys. You would like them a lot!

Love this - the percussion and the talent - awesome. Great reaction Chase.

I love how this was actually a thought through critique and not just blind follow like oh they sound cool!

Such a great groove!

Spot on as usual mate

what great detail and insight. just found out this channel. Guess it's time to subscribe and binge-watch all your videos

Interesting band, love the percussion! I'll have to check more of them out.

never figured out the metal guy's name, but the rapper is Raoul Kerr. and i love this other song they all did called "Ari Ari". one line gives a somewhat powerful message. "you know it's bad when you gotta fight for peace, but the cure always needs a bit of the disease."

This has been a journey. Started off following you due to your really well thought out insights into Nightwish. Then got a laugh when you first saw Babymetal and started to fall in love with that band. Learnt some new bands from you, and now find you checking out a band from my country. I completely agree with you with regards to the Hip hop parts. Sometimes wonder if they're really influenced by Linkin Park, as the song structure seems similar in certain aspects too. Either way, really cool to see you give them a try :) Would also love it if you delved into Ayreon - The day the world breaks down. Dutch composer, who brings in various artists to perform concept albums, Prog style. The day the world breaks down is in essence the first song of the entire storyline (a prequel structure), with the album consisting of 11 well known singers. Good day right back at you!

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the support.

You found them!!!!Their stuff is so good!! Its very public service directed, but glorious!

I feel these guys are the spiritual successors to bands like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down. Nu-metal with a message. Check out Gaddar (against corrupt politicians), BDSK (against sensationalist media) and Dana Dan (against the incipient rape culture that sadly exists in that part of the world). They've got songs about depression and mental health, and one of their first to hit the West, Ari Ari Ari, is just about tolerance in general. Fantastic band.

Raoul, the rapper, is still relatively new to Bloodywood. He was a rapper beforehand and did a feature on Bloodywood's "Ari Ari". Then he featured on another track or two and they wanted him in the band. They haven't put out an album or even an EP together, though, so I figure a lot of that is just that they're still somewhat new together in terms of raw quantity of tracks produced. I figure they'll get better together in-time.

you've articulated my exact thoughts except with insights that i wouldn't have reached from my ignorance of some things

As they said, this was a commissioned song and it shows, it's fine overall but it pales in comparison to songs like Endurant or Jee Veerey.

I see what your saying at the same time it did enable Raoul to just go full "populist" on his lyrics which is kinda interesting and adds a lot of power

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THANKS, Chase!!!! They're FREAKING awesome.... But I would like you to check them in other songs.... ARI ARI (the first original song they've released) and Jee Veerey (it's such a beautiful song with a beautiful message).... They're really a gulp of fresh air in the metal scene, along with other "ethnical" (if we can call it that) metal. They used to do only parodies of pop songs with a "indian twist"... And then they started to do original songs. Last year, they released ARI ARI and in the same year they went to WACKEN OPEN AIR. These guys NEED to be know worldwide. In the same "ethnical brand".... There's THE HU (you've already seen them), Alien Weaponry and if you want to try some REALLY heavy stuff, try Wardruna, Arkona (Masha my love

The message in every track of bloodywood is different, but the message every single time is what the world needs right now. And Wardruna are spectacular in creating atmoshphere.

This reminds me of their live performance at Wacken 2019: Ari Ari kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKqpldeJfsy9fs4.html where you can see how they do live. It was an energetic crowd of several thousand people, surprisingly good sound considering they had only about 10-15 min of switchover time, really enjoyable gig. Plus, this song was announced on stage with the message "Diversity is a gift", which makes it even more relevant these days.

Love your reactions, especially when it's a band I don't know yet, so I get to see some new stuff as well. Personally I'd recommend Doll$Boxx with the song 'Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo Shitterunda' or Epica - Sancta Terra (there is also a version with Floor Jansen, which is just epic!)!

Thumbs up analysis. Rapper does the lyrics I think; adds an element of listening to lyrics juxtaposed with the singer, but great skill in all areas and polished.

As far as tracks that really bring the feel of Bloodywood, I'd suggest Jee Verey, or Endurant. I absolutely love this band because even though the rap isn't always peak gold, the message is. Songs about overcoming depression, and dealing with bullying is extremely important, and the songs are brought to a new level when it's about something truly important

Great channel! You really should react to Yaad or Jee Veerey to really what makes this band special in my opinion ! Of course the folk aspect can be caught from any of their songs, but there's more to it. Machi Bhasad, Ari Ari, Gaddaar, Aaj, are all nice powerful songs but if you give a shot to one of the two tracks I mentioned, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean :).

Chase, for a male singer like of whom you've never seen try Leprous: Alleviate. They're melodic, personal, and progressive and we'd get a such a kick of you reacting to them.

If you like bands that add regional / cultural influences to metal, you could react to brazilian band Arandu Arakuaa. Their lyrics are sang in indigenous languages and they use some tradicional / regional instruments as well. I suggest the song Aruanãs

Bloodywood is bloody good. Their songs Jee Veerey and Ari Ari are really good, too

The Hip Hop guy is a later addition to their group. They did a collaboration/feature first. The silence/quiet parts kind of worked, it's a great tool in the toolbox when used properly. that one caught you off guard 7:01 :-) 7:40 that clearly worked a lot better. I agree Ari Ari is a good next choice from these guys, but they also have Yaad are more quiet song. Going to be interesting when you get around to Babymetal iine, Shanti Shanti Shanti and BxMxC :-)

just realised i havent commented on this yet XD i have to say this is one of the most amazing refrains i ever heard. Also it has a strong indian vibe - which is fantastic cause msot metal bands are so "generic" metal they dont dare to give their personal flavor to the music. these guys do and its amazing

The rapping is more spoken... no? It reminds me of an older style, maybe a more unpolished and street style? I'm not a rap fan so this is just an impression. I love the growling vocalist, great voice. I thought the slower breakdown part was using imagery to share the human experience from their part of the world. Kind of enhances the song's lyrical storytelling. The "Desi" experience? Love the image of the newborn lamb. Excellent instrumentation, great song.

Checkout ari ari by bloodywood!!!

Bloodywood is a great band, glad you're enjoying them. As far as I remember the rapper featured in one track originally and then just meshed so well with the other two members that they decided to stick together. If you're interesting in checking out more metal with folk influences, I have a lot to recommend, but a good point to start would be Eluveitie.

I have, since I discovered your channel, loved every video and analysis (and frankly have commented on your videos more than any other channel ever on KZread). This is the first one where I've actually felt *vindicated* by what you said! The rapper wasn't part of the original group, and I wasn't a fan of his addition.

Yeah look I think a lot of it it down to taste, but technically, from a hip hop point of view, I didn't find that one element very strong. Overall I loved the song and the group.

Maybe you'll also like arabian rock? Band: MYRATH Song: BELIEVER, THE DANCE (for example)

Yeah, skip the "rage against the machine" english parts, and stick with the rest. That was really interesting and good!

I can understand your criticism of the rap parts as a fellow hip-hop fan, but if you look at Raouls solo stuff you'll see that he emphasizes message over complex flows, which in part is excused by his voice. I also belief that his lack of being a native speaker limits his variety in vocabulary, but at the same time to an international audience, that is also largely not native english speaking, this just makes the message of the lyrics shine even more.

Please do a reaction to The Warning survive from 3 years ago. The Warning is 3 sisters at the time that they did the video I want you to do they're 17 15 and 12. Their 2nd album is a conceptual album.

They don't need the rapper at all. I feel that if you want to have a rapper in your metal band, he needs to be the most talented guy in the group.

AFAIK they are virtually unheard of in India but exploded overseas with they videos. I believe most of it is self-shot, theres a very low budget. With many of the videos they explain about the video and its meaning afterwards too. As for the hiphop parts, i think those are fairly new. He was originally a guest performer on one of their tracks (Ari Ari iirc) and then kinda grew into the band, this was the weakest i've seen that element in my personal opinion

Oh, Chase... for once, I disagree with you. Strongly, actually. I never thought this day would come. I'm struggling to see how the rap sections are misplaced or off the mark. Perhaps it surprised you, or caught you off guard, but I was dismayed by how quickly you dismissed the rap portion. Raoul's lyrics and flow have become integral to Bloodywood's sound and message. You actually cut it off too early. They made the announcement just then that Raoul was officially made a member of the band. Before that, there was no rap. What he brought to the group was important enough for the other boys to completely change their musical style and structure to include Raoul. I like to describe them as sort of like Linkin Park or Rage Against the Machine, but with more curry. 🤘 LOL If you ever choose to try them again, try one of these links...
