First Time Reaction | Bloodywood - "Aaj"

[@Bloodywood]

Thank you!

[@AileenSenpai]

No thank YOU for making such incredible music! You are all doing incredible things in the music scene and I’m so honored you watched 🙏🏼💗 thank you so much!

[@FMJaqenHghar]

Just what Aileen said. 👍 Thank you Bloodywood! You are the daily fuel in my life-drive. if i had a bad day at work, if i feel like i'm not good enough for other people, because of some (mostly minor) mistakes i've made ... then listening to your songs on my way home is my remedy against bad thoughts or self-doubt so it won't follow me home! Forever grateful 🤘😎

[@blackdog6969]

@@FMJaqenHghar As Bloodywood sang, only through the trials of fire is iron forged. Each day makes you stronger and stronger. A little extra on this as my grandparents say; "Never let the bastards get you down". You can make it day to day, I'm sure of it and my best wishes whenever you feel down. Know there is others out there dealing with th same wishing you the best

[@faradayfelix]

Loving seeing Bloodywood noticing all the love for their music in these reaction videos. Phenomenal band.

Bhaiyon. When r the new age Indian Metal Gods Touring India

[@nothingmusic42]

the female singer at the end is Archy J, aka The Snake Charmer. she is actually the best bagpipes player of this generation, and combines traditional Celtic music with traditional Indian music. it was actually her collaborations with Raoul that led me to Bloodywood. highly recommend her cover of "Hallelujah" and and original song "Nageena".

[@drro2020]

Thanks for this post-wasn’t aware of archy J. Incredibly talented- her TED talk is inspiring

[@jatinupadhyay6401]

That's a flute we call it 'Basuri' natively nd i must tell u it's one of the most important instrument in Indian music, culture nd folklore, for us it's like whenever u hear someone playing flute melodically, u leave all yr work ng gets completely indulged, completely submerged into it physically nd mentally, socially, emotionally. Our love with flute goes back to thousands-lakhs of year one of our God Lord Krishna played flute it's related to him well it's a different story

[@AryanSMH]

[@Robert_Herring]

Jayant's singing in the chorus is incredibly uplifting. Such a powerful song. Loved watching your reaction to this.

[@Raaxshas]

hope you can react to their older song 'Yaad' to see Jayants vocal range.its about losing a pet and how to cope with that loss..i have never heard of a metal band this fresh in a long time..they are 100 percent independent, so your reactions help in supportingthem to get more fans.Love your reactions! subscribed!!

[@fredrikwallin7954]

Aaj is fire! 🔥🔥🔥 The song is how it feels to be a dragon!

[@davidcurren2587]

The first song I ever heard from them. Honestly, I was in utter surprise when I first heard them. So good!

[@davidbronke5484]

Same! I saw this shortly after it premiered, and I've been hooked ever since 🤘

[@davidcurren2587]

@@davidbronke5484 I found them in a discord server for a band I follow actually. But yeah, I’ve been hooked since then

[@AGDinCA]

Again, thank you for using your platform to bring much deserved attention to Bloodywood! It's clear you genuinely appreciate what they are doing, and we are happy to have you join the worldwide family of Bloodywood fans!

[@MetalGoat84]

This song is a real banger. The first Bloodywood song I listened to some weeks ago and it infected me with their music immediately as I never heard Indian Metal before. Their music is so authentic and well done. Greetings from Germany

[@almuramoo5554]

This song is an Anthem for me, it is my personal best song ever!!! And I did a lot of music in my life, trust me.. Hate to wait another 24h to see your reaction, but anticipation is huuuuge. So stay safe and greetz from Germany ❤️

[@AileenSenpai]

be safe! sorry to make you wait

[@Byronic_Man]

Listen to JI VEERE by bloodywood

[@jaydeepsen4769]

The vocalist/growler Jayant's best work as a singer is probably in 'Zanjeero Se'. They haven't yet released it on KZbin but its in their album 'Rakshak'. I've got one 🤘😎

[@rutvik3064]

It's already on KZbin.

[@jaydeepsen4769]

[@TrevorDunkin]

The guitarist, Karan Katiyar, produces all of their music. It's incredible.

[@Imurai]

Whenever this song plays, I tear up.

[@weirdVampiress]

Same here! Glad I’m not the only one that does that 😂

[@Sluj666]

Being pakistani myself I could only imagine in my head what desi metal would sound like because there was nothing like that and metal was frowned upon. But BW came along and now my life is complete. This is just beyond incredible.

[@Sluj666]

@@muzix1575 Honestly, I wouldn't know. I'm too westernised.

[@Andy_from_de]

You should look at the video The Foggy Dew (Bagpipes) - The Snake Charmer kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6KwdaRmobWjo9E - she is the female vocalist in this video. She is India'S only profesional bagpipe player. That video was shot at the same place as Aaj. Keran (the guitar player) is the producer of both videos.

[@Dagomanity]

Thank you :) Bloodywood needs all the attention! :D

[@2RGGrannyJeff]

I am so here for the Bloodywood reactions! Loved this and Gaddar. Looking forward to seeing more. You're in for a fun and wild ride. Fun seeing your reactions. They are such an amazing band.

[@Sarcastic_arnv]

Try 'Zanjeero se' for proper experience of Jayant's vocal range 🙂👍

[@thunderous784]

found this band about a year ago, it was by fluke, and i have had a chance to go through their library, it's incredible, and it's opened my eyes to different styles of metal from all over the world

[@horn5558]

love your reactions! Bloodywood is amazing and i love how they always help out people with some of their profits

[@alinanissha4510]

You look beautiful.bloodywood is awesome matel group .i like it .😘

[@rajeshpaleth4400]

It's a bansuri...an Indian flute which is like a tin whistle, but longer and more range.

[@imaware7551]

Check out Zanjeero Se by Bloodywood . I'm surprised to find hardly any reviews for it when, imo, it's one of the best songs on the Rakshak album. "Beautiful" is a good way to describe it.

[@subrajitdey3514]

Zanjeero se hits different 🌧️

[@crimemastergogo7878]

Imagine If ELUVEITIE meets BLOODYWOOD and together they end up making a song together. Just imagining it gives goosebumps.. All over my body. These guyss are f#inggg AWESOME.

[@psyshanudasan]

That would be so insanely good!

[@jeannineh9080]

I’ll try to hit the things I might be able to contribute - yes, they are self produced, Karan the guitarist/flute player handles that. They also do their own videos, there’s a “making up f” on their channel for this one. That is a DBZ reference, they’re nerds/gamers too. If you’d like to see a good showcase of Jayant’s range in the cleans, check out Yaad, have tissues handy, it’s very emotional, also stick around for the post video bit, the message there is really touching and tells you a lot about who and how they are as people.

[@dianapayton6418]

Do not watch Yaad unless you are in a very good place emotionally. Or you want to hurt yourself. It will wreck you.

[@WynneL]

And they're nerdy gamers too?! I THOUGHT I ALREADY COULDN'T LOVE THEM MORE BUT NOW I DO

[@WynneL]

@@dianapayton6418 Yeah, you need someone to hug after watching Yaad! Maybe a puppy.

[@jeannineh9080]

@@WynneL lol, yep, if you check out their page I think the videos are still up from when they were doing game marathons/challenges ahead of Rakshak release. Stuff like loser has to eat a spoon of hot sauce, people having to play with one hand or blindfolded, it’s great!

[@dasyeah2695]

oh oh oh just going down the same rabbit hole...THEY ARE LEGENDS....human, gritty expressive and musicly so fullfilling.....please continue them and go on stuff like jee veerey, yaad ...what am i ssaying ALL of it...whew bbeen a while since i was hat hyped about anything really

[@Lc4Hunter]

Never imagened to hear a flute-solo in a metal song :D But i love it! Hopefully Bloodywood now getting the attention they deserve.

[@TheBlackSulfur]

If you like this, you really gotta go for Eluveitie from Switzerland. 'Deathwalker' is a great Song. It's the same idea but with celtic folk elements instead of indian.

[@vollepylkkanen9211]

Or maybe even more&better their fantastic track (and video!) Call of the Mountains. :-)

[@joeymonticello7028]

Yes definitely Eluveitie. Just for a mix, Inis Mona, the Call of the Mountains, Ambiramus, and Rebirth are all fantastic sounds to check out as well. Their entire catalog is great in my opinion

[@michaelburnside8297]

Yahhhh!!!! The message in the lyrics!! It was a DragonBall reference...They are powering up to be better than they were.

[@kalemurphy]

Love your reaction in this! Love to see more people get into this band and their unique style of music and songs! A lot of their songs have very good messages behind them too!

[@edgefanCWC]

Excellent job! Jee Veerey is another great one by them!

thank you so much for recommending Bloodywood in the first place! Instant fan! 🤘

[@jamesm5883]

@@AileenSenpai I've been a fan for a few years now, you should check out their documentary called Raj against the machine, probably one of the best music docs you'll ever see! Not only are they an amazing band, but amazing people!

[@Dagomanity]

@@jamesm5883 I'm with you on that documentary being on of the best ever made, James. Seldome does a metal band inspired me so much as bloodywood. It's a mixture of the music, how humble these guys are and the pure intent in their message - a combination that can not lose in this modern world.

[@Finkele1]

Karan is lawyer but decided to form a band. Metal band in India what is pretty much no. Don't know how successful they will become but i think he would have made more stable and boring life being such. Thx Karan to create this...side note (i like tea and flute) and this is best song from the album.

[@katharinavonsamson2949]

love aaj so much!!! Thank you for your reaction

[@jamesm5883]

oh so good right! next you should do a double reaction to Machi Bhasad, the video version and the live at Waken 2019, believe me, they're amazing live! These guy are band for the people, if you get the chance check out the 2 hour interview Tank did with Karan on his channel, so nice and down to earth!...and Aaj just uplifts you doesn't it? Keep up the great work, you're awesome!!

[@larrywelchko6136]

People who had the same reaction you have for this band is why the first time they played Waken they had a standing room only. 15,000 at noon in the tent and a line 100 meters long to get in.

[@stillbulletbrad]

You can’t tell me that you didn’t want to start playing the air flute during that solo. Awesome!

[@davidward9737]

I will come back when this beautiful young lady does more Tool and so will the Army

[@jaysjour]

There was just no way I would have expected a flute to fit that well into Metal Core. 😱

[@TheJlmills]

thats what just now happend to me woooow!

[@detachedloop1004]

It is infact a flute. It looks a little different. It has a tapered end on one side from where you blow the air instead of up top. That's why you can see him having the entire end in his mouth. This design of flute is extremely common in India. It's the one that is sold the most locally

[@bjornbear6856]

I love these guys! Bloodywood is amazing! I just found them a couple of months ago and, like you, they blew my mind! But I also have some new amazing artists for you to check out.

The girl singing at the end is Archi, friend of the band. Check out her channel "The Snake Charmer". She has a few collabs. with Karan /car*an/ and Raoul as well.

[@fredbarnes2600]

To some extent the drummer is making up for the lack of Indian drums in this one, that drummer is playing the flute. And yeah I know someone already said, but check out Archy Jay aka the Snake Charmer(the female vocalist). She's a friend of the band and the Foggy Dew is indeed a moving song. Great reaction!

[@TheAlja]

Yay cool, my favorite song from them. Hope you like it.

[@skel8tor]

This was fun, coz i knew what was going to happen then see her face and body react You reached for the mouse just at the Flute solo started and it took you and you didn't/couldn't pause :)

[@Kschychooo]

This is one of my top songs out there. As for other bands to react to is Insomnium, especially their song While We Sleep. As for the composition just like Aaj, While We sleep is perfect.

I ♥️ this song that I put this in music list 🙂

[@samjohn1754]

Beautiful reaction and breakdown of an Epic song! Didn't disappoint... A reaction to 'Dana Dan' will be interesting. But it'll be on the other end of the spectrum from the feeling you got from this song. If you want to try a song with the same feeling as this, then "Jee Veerey". btw anyone notice Aileen looks suspiciously similar to the female vocalist at the end .. sus? 🤔

[@iamtheliberated]

I'd love to see a reaction to Jee Veerey and Endurant. Life changing songs. The female vocalist in the video, I knew her instantly. Her channel is TheSnakeCharmer. She's a bagpiper and a damn good one.

[@johnghiglione2641]

This song is really awesome. I like how different this song is from their other songs. The female singer in this video is Archy J or better known as the Snake Charmer. She is one of the only Bagpipers in India and does covers of TV Shows, Movies and other songs from Bands on her Bagpipes.

Oh...you missed the lyrics of this awesome chorus... it's the best part of this song, make sure to switch on the subtitles for their songs. The lyrical content in local language is different from the rap part.

[@chaosmage1756]

If you want another very unique metal band to check out after Bloodywood I cannot recommend Babymetal and Alien Weaponry enough. Seeing Alien Weaponry live blew me away - way better than when I saw Journey, Foreigner, Avenged Sevenfold, or Garth Brooks. They're a Maori metal band from New Zealand most of their lyrics are in the Maori language. Babymetal is Kawaii metal from Japan and I can honestly say pretty much no two songs of theirs are alike, but my favorites are Pa Pa Ya, Shanti Shanti, and Headbanger (the Legend 1997 live version is great to react to)
