Bloodywood - Aaj Reaction and Analysis (One of the BEST Songs of 2022?!)

[@MadMike1]

Can't wait to see this band grow. They have a REALLY high ceiling.

[@forgemastermetal]

Same here and completely agree. Groundbreaking stuff if they keep on the path of this tune in particular.

[@jujucasar2003]

@@forgemastermetal Def groundbreaking especially if he is trading the ground just to kiss the sky.

[@adachezero]

I love how they add layers as the song goes on, culminating in a final chorus that combines all of them together, the flute, the female harmony etc

[@forgemastermetal]

Same!

[@bikerbuncle]

Their guitarist is also their flute player. That is why the flute solo is structured so much like a guitar solo.

[@forgemastermetal]

That's so cool!

[@almuramoo5554]

Greatest song of my life... An anthem. And Ive heard a lot of music in my 48 years till now... Epic! Stay safe and greetz from Germany

[@forgemastermetal]

Cheers mate!

[@blackwaterrust476]

I really think that Folk instrumentation is so well done. It’s definitely not something that is easy to listen to but I do like and appreciate how unique this sounds lmao.

[@forgemastermetal]

It is superbly unique. Love it.

[@badgermcinnes2383]

After seeing them live the other night, I can confirm that Karan pulls off all the flute parts and solos with ease. :)

[@martinehendrickx2218]

I saw them two times here in Belgium, and they are so great musicians en performers, adorable en kind, you just have to love them

[@AGDinCA]

Bloodywood is going to be in my state later this year, so I am making the 6-8 hour trek to go see them! I can't wait! I bought my tickets today!

[@forgemastermetal]

Oh man lucky!

[@gorapakoraa]

@AGDinCA woah! Epic 💥💥💥🤘

[@revhappymv]

Hope you get to meet them AGD. You are without a doubt, their biggest fan!🤘

[@AGDinCA]

@@revhappymv _One of_ their biggest fans... I am so happy to see their fan base growing, including a good number of super fans!!

[@godfatherofbloedniss]

Bloodywood kick with this Album Sabaton from tue Throne of my favorite bands, and aaj is Thier hymn. Cant get enough of this song, plays in my car all the time when i am driving in my own. Luckely my youngest doughter (she is 4) loves my music too otherwise i would have a big problem 🤣

[@emcash7042]

I love how you guys helped explain what was happening in the song musically, very appreciated!

[@forgemastermetal]

That’s what we nerd out over!

[@AnkoSanSensei]

I would love to see you do one for Gadaar from Bloodywood (I may have accidentally misspelt the song title but it should be close)

[@forgemastermetal]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Indianbutler]

I just love these guys. They are making music with great lyrics

[@npinjest7779]

This is my favorite of the album, for sure! Part for its almost power metal pace, part for how it all fits and flows together (as you said), and part for the prominent clean vocal parts. That guy has such a beautiful, distinctive, folkish tone that really adds yet another element to a song with tons going on, without coming off as too busy.

[@forgemastermetal]

Totally agree!

[@sheryljohnson6602]

I'm just seeing this review, so pardon me if someone has beat me to it, but the female vocalist is Archy J- also known as The Snake Charmer. She plays bagpipes with a Punjabi flare. She is also the guitarist's girlfriend. You should check her out, she has some bagpipe covers of metal songs, too.

[@forgemastermetal]

Will do! Thanks for sharing 💚

[@MyThoughts19902X]

Thanks for the explanation. A guy like me wouldn't notice these things but now I can enjoy the song even more.

[@forgemastermetal]

Welcome to the Forge!!

[@redarmyF]

Indian people never forget their roots, their history and traditions . They stick to their culture in a good way. That makes Indian people unique . I love India though it has dark sides and many problems. Namaskar. Love from Germany

[@forgemastermetal]

Much love

[@psyshanudasan]

I love this channel. Thank you for this bloodywood reaction.

[@forgemastermetal]

We love YOU! You're welcome.

[@userdeveloper406]

Its like indian folk + limp bizkit + dragonforce + Slipknot + SOAD+ rage against the machine + anime music +korn culmination into one

[@forgemastermetal]

Hahaha such a wild mash up when you put it that way.

[@userdeveloper406]

@@forgemastermetal i forgot to mention korn

[@TBelen91]

Love seeing the Bloodywood love! Been obsessed with Aaj since it came out and love the rest of the album. Can't wait to see them live!

[@frazer8]

I can’t say their sound is exactly my thing, aside from the bands i first got into i don’t really listen to nu metal stuff. But i got a whole lot of respect for this band, the indian folk really gives it a unique feel and their songs have diversity to keep them exciting. If they carry on along this way i think they’re gonna start making serious waves in the metal scene. Super unique 🤘 good review as always

[@forgemastermetal]

I can see that. It’s good we have bands like this pushing the boundaries.

[@demon_drummer]

i love they just put keg noises in with the snare😭 i love this band

[@enferex]

I love some folk metal, and well.. this band is great and they have so much going on sonically in this tune. 0:59 and 2:09 when the flute comes in with the groove, so awesome. Hah, yes, it's that flute-motif, as you pointed out later, great analysis!

[@forgemastermetal]

Have you spun this record yet? Some rough spots but the parts that are on are freaking phenomenal.

[@ryantannar5301]

I tend to not like Nu metal but these guys have really nailed down a formula for blending the hip hop and metal elements in just the right way.

[@forgemastermetal]

Exactly, mate!

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

If you haven't yet, I'd recommeend checking out Endurant and Yaad, which are quite possibly Bloodywood's heaviest songs in terms of emotions and lyrics.

[@forgemastermetal]

Thank you for the comment!

[@johnmccombe6342]

Yaad makes me cry every time and I think it's the most beautiful song.

[@alongsangtam3789]

Best reaction and reviews guys

[@forgemastermetal]

We appreciate you!!

[@AJ-ps]

Bloodywood is amazing! al their songs are gold!

Aaj is my most favourite.

[@forgemastermetal]

Fantastic choice!

Hope you enjoy it!

[@starone72]

Loved ur reaction plz do Machi Bhasad,Gaddar by bloodywood

[@forgemastermetal]

Maybe!!

[@SkpalTube]

Awesome, waiting for you guys to start reviewing Babymetal. As producers, you will be absolutely amazed by their live shows. A not a good place to start 😉 is Gimme Chocolate, but you will not regret it - it's there most popular song for a reason.

[@forgemastermetal]

We’ll get to it someday!

[@MartinChungHNIC]

Thats a drum and bass tune .

[@sarahjohnson5448]

Great video as always! Have you reviewed the new G.I.V.E. Unnatural CD yet? Mixed by Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Metallica, Sevendust, KORN). I think you would love it! I bought my copy on Ebay. It rocks! :) :)

[@forgemastermetal]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@topG127]

Dymbur - Child Abuse #indianfolkmetal band plz react to this song. It has a strong message. They also have a song called Rape Culture, which talks about rape violence in india

Ditch the crummy rapping and I’m sold.

[@jiggamanboston]

Bit harsh... nowt wrong with his rapping.

[@forgemastermetal]

I wouldn’t call it crummy but to each their own.

[@strikedn]

No, keep it. The only rapping I can bear.

[@BenFortier]

I ALWAYS walk away from this song with the flute melody in my head. When I try to think back to the rapping part, "Funk Soul Brother" enters the room.

[@scarybaldguy]

Raoul has mad flow, you don't know what you're talking about.
