Bloodywood - Aaj (Indian Folk Metal) - British Couple Reacts!

We check out and react to the brand new song "Aaj" by Bloodywood!
Pre-order their debut album "Rakshak" here: linktr.ee/Bloo...
About Aaj:
Aaj is a song about the moment in time when you realise you have the strength to do what you have to do to become who you want to become. We all have our demons, our reasons to be stuck in a rut of harmful patterns and our fears of trying something new. This track is meant to act as a spark to light a fire within the listener to overcome all of that, it's about the fearless pursuit of the next level for as long as your heart continues to beat.
It marks the first occasion where the band has combined the Indian flute with electronic elements as well as the usual dose of heavy riffs, diabolical growls and powerful rap verses.
Female vocals by The Snake Charmer (Archy J)
About Bloodywood:
Bloodywood is an Indian metal band from New Delhi, formed in 2016. They began as a parody band that uploaded metal covers of pop songs on KZbin, but later went on to write their own original material.
We do not own the rights to the music or the music video; these remain the sole property of the band and record label.

I just realized these guys had “Kaioken” and “final form” as actual lyrics. They are such nerds and I love that

The female is "The Snake Charmer" on KZbin. She plays bagpipes and has a huge following.

[@saitamapreetsingh3057]

I am from india, and here very few people know about bloodywood, I am into metal since like 2000's from iron maiden to alternative rock Linkin park. Newer generation is stupid and they don't understand rock as much. But I have high hopes for rock genre in India. 8:35 Also I love Wage War. I have listened to almost all of their songs !

[@NerdSafari]

Nice! Great to meet another metal-head! 😁 Iron Maiden are still one of my favorite bands ever, and I know they insist on playing in India on every tour because there's such a strong metal following there! Hopefully one day we can visit and go to a Bloodywood concert in India - that would be amazing!

[@Rehaaaaaaan]

Traditional Indian music fits really well with metal, I'd say it's basically metal but with Indian instruments

[@abhikbose3100]

Yes you right bloodywood has more international fans

[@ciprian7243]

This has a distinct Linkin Park flavor. Love it.

[@WaqasAhmad-gf4sn]

They're just amazing

[@NerdSafari]

Yes!!! This band is permanently on my workout playlist these days! 🤘

[@eviljeep]

This song electrify me, make me emotional, with a great message.. I listen to a lot of music and this song is easily on my top 3 of the best song of the year 🤟 tx for the react from Québec Canada 🇨🇦

[@NerdSafari]

Thanks for the comment! And completely agree with you - this song absolutely rocks and has a great positive message! Love it! ❤️

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Just saying, I will always, ALWAYS, support this band 100%. It's the least I can do for the band that saved me from ending my life only a few years ago, that convinced me that the better course in life is to give everything I have to whatever it is that I do. That there is always a way out, that there is always a window open when it feels like all the doors are closed.

[@NerdSafari]

Wow, thank you for sharing this story, and we're glad that you made the decision you did! ❤️

[@gregoriphilips4426]

Yes I heard so many times and hearing all reactions globally, proud to have such band in India, Great India Rock

[@revhappymv]

Reese Withoutherspoon 😅 Sorry you look so much like her. More Bloodywood please. Absolutely obsessed with this band!

[@alexfekete3798]

Yes my favorite song from them🤘🤘🤘🤗🤗

[@NerdSafari]

It really is awesome! It's now made it onto my workout playlist, and will stay there for a long time! 😁

[@Scratiznutz]

This band is simply epic.

[@NerdSafari]

100% agree with you - I regularly listen to Bloodywood on playlists with Western metal, and they not only hold their own but are better in many ways! 🤘

[@Scratiznutz]

@@NerdSafari Literally only found them a day ago through a 7 minute 'weird metal bands' compilation, and their 30 second expo of Machi Bhasad caught my attention. That was it.....I was hooked on them after hearing Dana Dan, then subsequent tracks. I love it when something just hits you out of the blue, a real serendipitous moment, that leaves me wanting more.....with gratuitous bouncing around the place like an idiot 😁

[@psyshanudasan]

Beautiful reaction!!

[@NerdSafari]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bosgaurus1]

Aaj = Today

[@evaearthling]

Great reaction, thank you!

Thank you too! 🤘

[@AGDinCA]

You two clearly understand what Bloodywood is all about. I highly suggest you guys check out more of their work! Links below! Ari, Ari - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WponqGh7aKfK8 Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/faTcZqaArpqSaZY Endurant - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpfNhZWPZ7Otqa8 PS - I love the teal color hair! I have all-over bright purple hair, and it's been this way for about 5 years now. I love it! What do you use to color with? I usually use Punky Color.

[@NerdSafari]

Nice, thank you! We love Ari Ari already, and it's regularly on my playlist when working out! 😁 We'll check out the other songs! And thanks! Ellie's had that teal hair color for quite a few years now, but it used to clash with the green screen we recorded in front of, so she would always wear different color wigs to avoid her hair disappearing in the editing process! 😂 After a while we decided to forget the green screen so she could just have her normal hair showing!

[@AGDinCA]

@@NerdSafari I'm glad you dropped the green screen because she has lovely hair and it would be a shame not to show it!

[@emcash7042]

You don’t need smart things to say when describing Bloodywood. In fact most of the time we’re left speechless anyway lol

[@NerdSafari]

Lol, very true!!! 😂

Hi can you react to Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main from the classic movie DDLJ (1995)

[@TheDonmayo]

Its hella impressive that this band has NO LABEL, they made the video, hell the whole album by themselves!

[@NerdSafari]

That's a really good point! I was in a band years ago and we saw friends in other bands getting signed, but the label barely paid for anything (not even covering the cost to record an EP), and yet demanded so much control of the band. I actually think it's smarter to do what Bloodywood have done, and control their own destiny! Takes a lot of work, but worth it in the long run!

[@ashwin.unlead]

@@NerdSafari agreed!
