Aww... I love that the boys look at themselves as brothers before bandmates. That's part of what makes their music so genuine.
Their camaraderie definitely adds to their music. Rock on mate 🤘
Bloodywood is the embodiment of every Indian band's dream: to be able to play the world over. It's incredibly satisfying to see that they're living it! More power to them! Thank you BBC India for this incredible piece on them!
Thanks mate. Rock on 🤘
I found out about Bloodywood thanks to you tube algorithm, my first song was Dana Dan and it resonated with me, it's the most powerful song I've ever heard then I listened to the rest of their songs and now I'm hooked. I was so impressed by them that I begged them to come play in my state and Karan replied to me. They are truly the best band in the world.

True, their live shows are an absolute blast.
"METAL It's One of the most expressive forms of music, because we talk about stuff that should be said out very loudly but also in a very meaningful way".
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 You are the best metal band in the world! Poland 🇵🇱 is with you ,,, you Bloodywood extremo!!
Hello Bloodywood,
very happy for your success! Your performance in Vienna was an absolute blast 🔝🙌 Thanks for coming and see you again next time! ✊
🇮🇳🇦🇹
🤘🤘🤘
If you have been to their concerts of late, Bloodywood are much bigger than this video even positions them. Humble.
Sold out europe, sold out UK.
Possibly the top 10 in the world right now.
Rakshak is a monumental record already.
Waiting for their next!
Yes, they are an absolute metal force now. 🤘
Man what an inspiration. Been following you since the beginning. Cheers to Metal. Hail India 🇮🇳
Yes, these guys are absolutely special 🤘

Slapping straight into face of people who said
You can’t do anything with metal music in india
The best metal band out of India… These guys are going to go to the top..
One of the bests for sure.They’re on their way to become legends. 🤘
Bloodywood is the future of metal. I think these guys will be as big as Korn
Salute to Bloodywood from Serbia! The Desi boys are amazing!
Bloodywood is probably seen as a breath of fresh air to the metal music industry. Most of the bands are predominantly white
The best band in the whole world right now!
An absolutely brilliant band for sure. Rock on mate 🤘
This video is so well edited!
Glad you liked our video. Please subscribe to watch more fun videos.
These guys are just amazing from doing covers and parodies to making their own music. people outside india know more about them than indians. Hope with the digital revolution in india they'll eventually reach Indian masses and make metal music mainstream.
We are glad that you watched our video. Please subscribe to watch more amazing content :)
Incredibly good!!! Incredibly nice guys, icredibly good music!!! Their success so well deserved! Always looking forward to see them again and again ( third time next month in Nuremberg, Germany) Love you guys, you are amazing!!! ❣🤘
One who hears them for the first time... lives (with them in their heart) for rest of their life.
Once a Bloodywoodian... is always a BLOODYWOODIAN.
Thanks for watching our video, Dinakara. Please subscribe to our and keep watching :)
Move on Bloody wood ,make a change 🤘 bring the change in our homeland.
I caught their first UK tour (2019) at a small venue in Bristol - it was a pleasure to have a chat with them.
The performance . . . utterly brilliant.
Yes, they have an exceptional energy to their shows 🤘
De dana dan is my fav... Its so freaking energetic & its talks about the society that we are living in..
The band has great energy on the rock and on stage. Rock on mate 🤘
This just mkaes me proud being an indian :D
Saw them at a small venue in Chicago. It was amazing! Drove 5 hours to see it. So worth it.
Jealous!
After listening to them in 2018, I liked them but didnt listen everyday. In 2021, I was in Germany and my Boss told me about "Do you listen to Bloodywood as its metal and from India", I didn't even recollect the name at the time. Insane, I love that they have made it!
I saw them at Graspop. During a singing session, I told them that I did not understand one word that came out of their mouths, but I did find it one awesome party.
I don't understand why metal never gets any recognition in India
What a great band. Just saw them in Los Angeles and they blew the roof off the place. My wig did a double flip. Incredible.
Hahaha they split ya wig
I found Bloodywood back in 2017 or 2018. In my experience, Bloodywood is not only a break-out metal phenomenon, but bigger than that, Bloodywood is about one word: Change.
Too often, things seem as if they are too big, too daunting to think something small can have an impact in the world. Yet Bloodywood is the epitome of an old Japanese proverb: "For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, the steed was lost. For want of a steed, the message was not delivered. For want of an undelivered message, the war was lost."
Bloodywood is that nail the world needs. They see the same things that the common folk in the world does. They empathize with the common folk, because they have dealt with very human things. But they also bring a core message that I think is badly needed to be heard: That as people, individually and collectively, we have the power of choice, and the autonomy to decide what kind of life, what kinds of societies, and what kind of world we want to live in and pass on to the next generation. While not necessarily an original message, Bloodywood's way of putting that message out there makes them unique. They not only save lives, they help those struggling with issues in life. They saved my life with Jee Veerey in 2018. They convinced me to keep fighting to live, and not let the internal darkness overwhelm me. They also show how someone like me can take my own experience, my own pain, my own trials and tribulations, and transform them to a positive good in the world. Being a military veteran, as well as a chronic depressive, depression hits hardest for me, because I have fought that mental war for years. Yet, after Bloodywood and Jee Veerey, I took everything I had dealt with and kept hidden, and now I help others as an informal or impromptu counselor of sorts, and I do what I do to help myself mentally, and at the same time, encourage others to reach for the hope that things will get better, if they simply find a reason to keep going, and choose to strive for the better days.
The point is, this band, who came out of nowhere, helped me in more ways than I can count. Should I ever meet them, I would tell them thank you. Because they truly deserve it.
They are changing the world, whether or not they know the true impact of what they do. It is why I will always support these men from India that decided to do what they have already done in such a short period of time.
Im an Indian.. A big fan KSE, As I lay dying, In flames. Your are first indian band whose song are in my playlist... I love lyrically strong songs.. You guys are awesome lyrically
When you feel like you want to scream about what is wrong in the world, I'm certain metal is a great outlet for them. 🙂
There's so much more Bloodywood will achieve :)
Seeing these guys make it at home warms my heart and brings tears of joy to my eyes
Discovered them from Steve Terryberry.
I have been into them for over a year.
bhot mst!!!!!
bloodywood is life
I absolutely love these guys.
Yes, they are an absolute musical force 🤘
I heard of them ages ago. 2019, and they were around a good while before that going viral.
So happy for them🤩
They have to be ine the top metal bands on the planet. I adore them.
I never heard of bloodywood until my friend introduced me to them with dana dan, machi bahsad and jey veerey and I was blown away by it.
Then they announced they will play in my home country wales and they are absolutely amazing live.
Bloodywood music is the best
Bloodywood forever india's pride ❤
Good to see fellow Indian . People outside India know more about them than indians 😢😅

This band is the real deal. A new sound for a new world. There are so many crap metal bands but these doods are bringing the new grooves and new style with integrity and truth.
I love bloodywood.
❤️🤘🏻
Fan from 2019 ❤
The locl train
Bloodywood need to get lead guitar part and reduce alittlebit flute sound mixed..and the drums solo bass solo guitar solo more legendary instrumental that will be on the top of the world. They need to challenge others band. Because they got two vocalist which is top level. A7x M shadows level bro😅 eg..megadeth..metallica..etc
That would make them just like the other bands. Also no band challenges another band 😂
They will become legendary in time with their own style of music.
❤
Demonic resurrection is also good
Cheguvera🤮🤮
कुछ ज्यादा ही heavy हो गया
😂 t series wapis jao bhai
