Bloodywood GADDAAR - Composer Reaction and Song Production Breakdown

[@dlxfuentes]

One of my favourite releases this year. They really blend the Indian styles with metal that most other prog bands could only dream of sounding like. Another Indian band that does this well is Pineapple Express, though they're more progressive metal than Bloodywood's nu metally sound.

[@ckokomo808]

Me too! I’ve loved all their covers before this and this album surprised me at how good it is. Lots of energy.

[@Scaevola9449]

I was honestly kind of ambivalent on the album as a whole. The songs they released as singles before the album were basically the only ones I really liked on the album.

[@socalnitro]

They just did a mini US tour. Sold out.

[@Codzillion]

Hope you check out Aaj from them, everything this band does is pure gold!

[@revhappymv]

Tons of bass in Aaj too. There's a whole drum and bass section which I absolutely love

[@edwardr8226]

Yep, Aaj would be perfect to decompose

[@Dr_Monitor]

On that note, as much as I love Aaj, Jee Veerey is also a fantastic song, with such an uplifting message.

[@AGDinCA]

So much Bloodywood love in this comment section! I love you all!!

[@joe94c]

Bloodywood must have one of the best albums of 2022. Especially a debut album

[@AGDinCA]

FACT!!

[@fmahler21183]

My wife and I saw them live in Chicago a few months ago and it was an amazing show. So much energy on stage and we had a blast!

[@armaang96]

Finally some Bloodywood!! Love from India!

[@tomsee8419]

I beg of you to react to "Dana Dan" by Bloodywood. That song is an absolute slamfest

[@marklaw5116]

This band are AMAZING, they have songs that can really YANK on your heartstrings. Check out Yaad, Aaj, Jee Veerey, and Dana-Dan. All of them are so powerful. They are all such nice guys too, they do lots for charity and things like mental health awareness

[@JaySay]

I first heard of Bloodywood from Loudwire near the beginning of this year, and I love the rhythms and singing they put out. They do really great work, and the few interviews I've seen with them, they seem like incredibly humble and down to earth people. I love seeing that with musicians! I'm excited to hear what else they put out in the future!

[@canibalkitten4213]

Namaste

[@rosslonewolf]

Glad you're feeling good! 💚 ya Geebz!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Thanks Ross :)

[@wes3493]

I love this band! Im glad you're feeling better and enjoying the tunes!

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

Aloha I'm a fan now more than ever

[@Flugmorph]

shame about cloud connected from in flames, such a great song from my favorite band!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Right?

[@autohmae]

Great to see you again ! Bloodywood got started on the Internet (their KZbin channel) and do most of their stuff on their own. The started by doing metal covers of famous songs like pop songs, etc. And their biggest sound of income was Patreon. And during that time they tried to find their sound. The main vocalist as you called him and the guitarist were the core and the rapper guy came later for better lyrical content as well. These days they have their first album out and they actually tour the world to perform live. They are great guys and they take inspiration from bands like Rage Against The Machine who are more political engaged and they do songs about subjects like depression/suicide, etc. Good stuff. Love these guys.

[@psyshanudasan]

Bring on more…bloodywood! Absolutely loved your analysis as well.

[@thetannedcalf]

Holy moly at this song!! 🤯🤯

[@billtbodger]

One of Favourite songs from Bloodywood, but I love most of their songs, the blend of musical styles is fantastic and very energetic, they tackle a lot of issues head on. Bloodywood started as just Karan (guitars and actually most of the music) and Jayant singing in punjabi and doing a lot of the growls, then Raoul was asked to join doing the Rapping and english lyrics, they were just an internet project that really blew up, so they had to become a full band with the Dhol player, drummer and Bass player, they did a european tour called the Raj against the machine tour, they are on tour again next year which I believe is called The Nine Inch Naan tour, (which I am going to see in Manchester UK). A couple of other songs well worth a look are Dana Dan and Jee Veerey, also Ari Ari, I think you will enjoy them, big love

[@paradeduck]

Bloodywood does a really cool and interesting cover if Kendrick Lamar's "Humble"; you should check it out!

[@paulransdell]

I saw these guys last month at Aftershock. I was super impressed! I would love to see them again!

[@emilythomas9786]

I can’t say enough good things about Bloodywood, whether it’s the music, the lyrics, the videos, or the guys themselves. Even without doing another reaction video they’re a band worth looking into - they don’t have a bad song and they all are pretty different but super meaningful. And if you do happen to do another reaction, Aaj, Dana Dan, and Machi Basad are all fantastic choices. 😁

[@mmcpa]

Saw them in Boston late September. Amazing energy on stage. This song slaps hard with a strong message. Even a stronger message is in the song Dana Dan. If you do react to it, make sure you have closed captions on.

[@Camshaft1197]

Yaad, my guy! It's epic!

[@twitchfixer1344]

YES DUDE! So glad you are checking these guys out. they are absolutely awesome Band/humans.

[@dyrkeschaefer]

New band for me. Very cool!

[@Lee-vp8vs]

Saw these guys last night. One word to describe them live. Bounce. So much energy. Amazing on stage.

[@tricitymorte1]

I saw them in Chicago in May. Hands down, THE best concert I've ever been to. I cannot wait to see what they do next. They came hard with Rakshak.

[@AnotherPostcard]

Bloodywood is something super unique. I love them!

[@davidbronke5484]

WOO! I've been looking forward to you reacting to these guys! 🤘

[@Eric998765]

For me, the sound was only ok, but I did love all the lyrical jabs at government

[@darthlongstride2903]

The instrument you mentioned is called Ek Tara (single string). It’s a traditional instrument used in Punjabi folk music.

[@DingDangJon]

A great band!

[@jamesm5883]

Wow, this is unexpected! This band is absolutely amazing but please check out Machi Bassad from these guys, thank you for reacting to this, you rock geebz!

[@Youlookeddidntyou]

Hey brother so happy to see you , hope you are happy!!

[@rubentullenaar2934]

I just discovered Bloodywood a few weeks ago, great band.

[@quiet7632]

They're amazing.

[@sostef]

Yes! Honestly every song they release is incredible!

[@justtryingthings425]

So happy to see you discover this band. Their music is some of the most energising I've ever heard, I love this whole album so much (and Ari Ari, which sadly isn't on it).

[@thenordicon]

Super love this, esp the vocals and the sitar! You should def do more folk metal styles- check out Korpiklaani: henskelipoika, korvesta liha or lonkkaluut

[@dinakaraghebbar6695]

This is a band with message in their tracks. Most popular in recent times is AAJ (released in 2022) Check out ENDURANT (about bullying), JEE VEERAY (mental health), YAAD (loss of loved ones) to name a few. Stay with video after the end (the real journey begins subsequently)

[@palebizkit1267]

Enjoyed the insight as per usual. Love this bands fusion of ethnic instrumentation with nu metal. The energy is infectious.

[@AGDinCA]

The album this song comes from should absolutely win Metal Album of 2022. It's so damn good! 🤘😁 Linkin Park + Rage Against the Machine + curry = Bloodywood 🤘

[@adamhenton6221]

He's back! Well this is a new band for me. New adventures. Man this is just super cool!! I'm looking forward to your breakdown of Decapitated. It's crazy how simple it is but I'm curious what more you hear that I'm missing.

[@ethanreed5815]

It's sounds like a sitar line with heavy as hell guitars and drums on top. I dig it. They are doing something original with the Linkin Park formula.

[@ryans.5843]

FINALLY

[@mikez1701e]

More Bloodywood plz

[@HohnerCornell]

My fav by them is Dana Dan, very important to watch with the subs activated. Great album, by the way.

[@veriahl]

Probably best album of the year and it was released in the beginning of the year

[@AGDinCA]

FACT!! Best album of 2022!!

[@zkap90]

Hey man, love your videos. I'd love a video about the song "Blues de la artillería" by Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, a legendary Argentinian band. Cheers!

[@newidenityguitarizt]

in a short list for album of the year.. thier song arj or Dana daan... is amazing

[@scosstard3542]

Thanks so much for checking them! I you come back to Bloodywood, please check Dana Dan, one of the best songs of 2022 imo with very touching and inspiring lyrics on a difficult topic. If I am not mistaken (but please correct me if I am wrong) the lead singer sings in a Punjabi style (I think I saw it on a video about the band). PS: it is cool you keep it real, and keep going even though your phone is ringing. It is a shame that In Flames - Cloud Connected got blocked

[@an50nrf]

If you like traditional Indian instruments with rock guitar and other instruments you should listen to the game soundtracks of Prince of Persia Warrior Within by Stuart Chatwood and Inon Zur I would recommend Welcome Within (Main menu), Conflict at the entrance, Rooftop Engagement, Conflict of the Griffins and Battle the Dahaka (both boss themes)

[@pierrehenri2297]

Sounds great, straight to palylist, never heard of them before. Do try Sepultura, you’ll love them!! 🤘🏼

[@MaximumBoolin]

Geebz I love you man. Best review channel on the Tube. I want to recommend a band for you to listen to (you dont have to make a video on them if you dont wanna, I just want you to experience their stuff). Yousei Teikoku is a Japanese gothic metal band. Their music is super unique and has a very distinct style. I recommend their song 'Yousei Teikoku - Zetsu'. It's got a lot to it that I feel like you would love to dig through. Tempo changes, heavy parts, clean voice parts, guitar solos, and a bunch of other stuff I'm sure you'd love to uncover.

[@badgermcinnes2383]

Much love for Bloodywood! One of the amazing things about the band is that they're entirely DIY; they did this album entirely on their own. Which makes the production even more impressive. One of the best albums of 2022 bar none.

[@metalninja2474]

I strongly recommend continuing on with Machi Basad, Jee veerey and Yaad. They're also great live, make sure you get some tickets even though they've not long finished their US tour

[@almuramoo5554]

Two words: FULL INDEPENDENT this guys do everthing on they own, no label.. Really impressiv... Pleaso do "Aaj" next, its a freakin anthem.. Stay safe and greetz from Germany

[@norwayva]

Damn, this shit stomps.

[@Pufferzsola]

You definetly shoud check out Jee Veerey from them, and Yaad. There you can experience the singers true vocal range more, also these songs are kinda soothing and uplifting. Also, Dana Dan is one of their heaviest track on the debut album, and it is amazing! I love how they are kinda old-fashioned and grabbing themes for their music that really helps out to understand and... process these feelings. Lovely energy all the time, best debut album in years hands down!

[@channingeastman2863]

We should visit SIM “Rumbling” from Attack on Titan in the Decomposer Lounge.

[@DaDoubleDee]

I would love to see more from other countries, I know south korea and japan has a metal scene but I have no clue about any of it

[@anvil958]

Please do more Pantera

[@hellasloh]

You should check out the song "Aaj" by these guys, great song, plus they have a bass player on that one.

[@michaelcardin1699]

I like your videos. Try the band Misery Signals - River King

[@arctgx]

Please listen to the track "SILENCER - Sterile Nails And Thunderbowels" You will definitely like

[@giacomop5890]

I'd love to see your reaction to The Omnific | Antecedent, featuring Clay Gopher (bassist from Polyphia). I'm sure you won't be disappointed :)

[@ShrimplyPibblesJr]

I try to keep an open mind, but everyone has limits.

[@starone72]

Should check out Dana Dan and AAJ by bloodywood it will blow ur mind away

[@tokoryu4594]

♥️♥️

[@JonnyRottenn__]

Aaj, Jee Veeray, their cover of Linkin Parks “Heavy” all awesome songs to look into as well. These guys are super motivational and talented.

[@nicci4724]

Dana Dan. Seriously. You must hear that song!

[@ashwin.unlead]

You should check out Girish and the chronicles from India and my city. He can easily rival Axel rose!

[@m_adinterim]

They do have a bassist. I believe he was travelling or unwell or otherwise unavailable for the video shoot 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cheburek9859]

Amenra reaction, please🙏

[@davehueglin2147]

I think Dana Dan is the best song off of the album. The video is incredible.

[@Youlookeddidntyou]

Please check out dana dan!!

[@GP2Entertainment]

Awesome to see you back! I've never heard of Bloodywood, so this was a cool find.Damn.. I'm sorry to hear about In Flames... oddly, I saw specific reactions to a live performance that didn't have any issues with them, but another one I think you'd really enjoy to hear and also break down, is from Guy Sebastian. These are all live performances, which might not only help, but they tend to be better for reactions/breakdowns. I'll drop the links for you: In Flames - When The World Explodes (ft. Emilia Feldt) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3yqaXWIZ55lpdE Guy Sebastian - Battle Scars ( Battlescars On ANZAC Day Performed for The Home Front kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJXLooWsht2perM And a bonus one that you might want to react to: Metallica - Fade to Black - LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJTShqmrZdJ6pck

[@VFNova]

I 'think' the instrument you're looking for is a Sittar. Btw: Take a look at the band Fair to Midland. Maybe start with Whiskey and Ritalin

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Yes, thank you :)

[@ronswanson1410]

People keep saying this has no business being this good. They are wrong. I just think… the best metal is sure to come from the most metal places. I simply ask, what is more metal than the third world? This has ALL the business to slam, it has every reason to. Everything from the drumbeat to the language allowing for unique percussion combinations.

[@hellacroix]

Please react to Bsdk.exe and Dana dan. Brilliant extreme metal stuff from these guys.

[@d_n_j6298]

React to agam band

[@michaelriddles6726]

Aaj, vee Jeray, yaad,, the base is more pronounced and much better mixing as Karan gained more skills in mixing.

[@MrGreendayzed]

It's funny, they kinda sound like japanese metal. They are both Asian so.

[@d_n_j6298]

Fun fact gypsies are from India actually around the region where he is from 😂north western

[@aaronbennack714]

Lets be honest. Linkin Park? No my friends. Indian Limp Bizkit. And it's ok if you like that sound.

[@johnjohn37371]

This YT copyright bullshit needs to change so bad. You are actually offering the definition of the free use privilege...it's just absurd. Turning down free advertisement. I have grown to hate Don Henley even more....didn't think that was possible. It's a shame, I used to like the Ea.....not Hawks.
