ROADIE REACTIONS | Bloodywood - "Gaddaar"

[@Bloodywood]

Thanks Tank!! Karan here, glad you liked the song! To answer some of your questions: - we recorded and produced the album ourselves :) - I use the Shuriken for live shows so that we dont have to carry multiple guitars on tour. In the studio I primarily use the Ormsby Hype GTR 8. The Cathode is the best looking so it goes in all the videos ;D - Roshan, the bass player, is missing in the video. He was on a vacation within a vacation so he couldn't make it but he'll be there in the upcoming videos

[@hephaestus6605]

So glad I stumbled upon you guys a while back. I am definitely going to order this album and probably a load of merch as well. I would love to see you guys make it over here to the U.S. as I would definitely go to a show even though I struggle with crowds after my accident. Used to be a band tech back in the day and crowds were no big deal but not so anymore. Keep producing amazing music as it is one of the true forms of universal language that everyone can appreciate.

[@onibformi3590]

Good Job you make. Again a real banger.👍🤟🤟🤟

[@FMJaqenHghar]

Hailing at you from Germany! It was almost a divine encounter that brought your music to this man. Jee Veerey was a bit of a life-saver for me... i was not in danger, BUT close by... you guys are to good for this corrupted mud ball we call our home ... keep up the good fight! *_rock on!_*

[@TheViralInfekT]

See you soon in Hamburg :)

[@TankTheTech]

Karan! Thank you so much for the comment, and for the kick ass song! This sounds so incredible being produced by you guys, and thank you for the info as well. Hope to see Roshan back in a video sometime soon. 😜

[@LokeshThakur]

haha your reaction was so genuine PS: for anyone wanting to know what the words are in the beginning, he is basically saying "here is the blood of a muslim and here is the blood of a hindu, tell me what is the difference? if the creator made us all the same, who are you to divide us"? Basically in India politicians try to get votes by dividing religious groups, they go to the hindus and shoot at the muslims and go to the muslims and shoot at the hindus in the hopes a war within communities bring in votes and eventually money. In general though politicians divide people like this

[@ZeroZiltch]

"State turning to Faith, Faith turn into Hate, Hate turn into Votes, Votes turn into Notes" This right here is the biggest suckerpunch I've heard in years. That line alone will stay with me for years.

[@m_js5709]

Just in case someone gets the notes line confused with musical notes, the next line "blacker kind of black money" is what "votes turn into notes" meant. The notes refers to the corrupt "black money" that elected politicians partake in.

[@ZeroZiltch]

@@m_js5709 Good thing you wrote it out, I tend to forget that what is obvious to me is not always obvious to others

[@m_js5709]

@@ZeroZiltch no doubt yo. I didn't know whom, if anyone at all, might confuse it so thought it was worth adding on top of your comment in case. Cheers!

[@ZeroZiltch]

@@m_js5709 It was an honest statement xD I have aspergers so I have had alot of issue where I've assumed people understood things I did xD

[@m_js5709]

@@ZeroZiltch You're good homie, you were right on point.

[@emysimo]

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but "gaddaar" is the vocative singular (ġaddār = traitor! ), while "gaddaaro" is the vocative plural (ġaddāro = traitors! ) 😉 🔥

[@TankTheTech]

THANK YOU!

[@metalbhai]

Absolutely right

[@Pokerfuel]

Oh nice, i thought it meant "you traitor" (imperative)

[@ashleycook6025]

So would that be "Traitor!" As in not identifying someone or pointing them out to others like"I've found" or "there's one right there/here" (like yelling "fire" when you've noticed fire) or calling out to someone being identified as or identified by a name or label, but an accusatory tone?

[@ashleycook6025]

@@Pokerfuel I thought imperative was for "commands". Or implying someone is supposed to do something. An example would be someone offering a chair by saying "Please, Sit" or telling you to have a seat by just saying "Sit" so it normally just applies to verbs with the subject being "you" even if it's not in the sentence. With the object being implied based on what the subject "you" is supposed to do the action to.

[@NYMetsNo1]

On their KZbin channel, they posted a self produced documentary titled "Raj Against the Machine." Well worth the watch.

[@jamesm5883]

I saw that, I was glued to the screen the entire time! That would make an awesome reaction!

[@vladimirvelikov8115]

Yes. Excellent documentary! One sees them as down to earth human beings and their mission is to have meaningful messages through their music. And yes, I like India;) They carry some of Indian spirit.

[@theengagedfew]

In the documentary, they were a 6-piece band. As far as I can tell, the only one missing is the bass player, Roshan Boi.

[@thereptiledude7247]

They're so wholesome and humble. Wish more metal bands would take a page out of Bloodywoods book.

[@RaviKumar-gv5rk]

Raj means rule in Hindi

[@galacticriminalx]

YAAAASSSSS!!!!! 🔥🔥🤘😆🤘🔥🔥

[@TankTheTech]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@michaeltriola3978]

I don't listen to rap, but I reacted to the last lyric in his first part like I was in the crowd in 8 Mile. "I don't need no gun, I bring the fire of the third world, son"

[@ItsAsparageese]

For real! I just discovered this band a couple of nights ago, and that was one of their lines that gave me instant chills, still does with each listen! Something about Raoul's lyrics and how he delivers them is just so powerful

[@brotleibinger]

The album art alone is worth the preorder. I really love that cover.

[@TankTheTech]

SOLID album artwork.

[@Feuermiss1405]

That's why I ordered it from their site directly instead of amazon. I didn't like that one as much as this one with the beautiful elephant

[@Hotasigva]

Man this is why I fraking love metal. You can do so much with it and combine it with traditional and folkish instruments and make it so unique and cool.

[@mrgeronimo84]

I love the indian cultural touch of the band. They mix that with the agrresiveness of metal music very well,

[@de5troythebrain]

how.... how can a breakdown be so crunchy and harmonious at the same time.. damn i dig this band.

[@nlu17]

If I remember correctly, they made their last single Machi Bhasad for a ubisoft game, but ubisoft didn't like it, they released it anyway and it's a banger. This new song is a banger and I'm fortunate that KZbin put it on my Playlist before I even knew you made a reaction for

[@StergiosMekras]

I will always like metal mixed with traditional instruments. This is no exception.

[@mattscfc849]

Going to one of the uk gigs in March, and I cannot wait. If this song is anything to go by then the album will be quality.

[@TheChiraagG]

Same. Can't wait

[@TankTheTech]

So jealous. I would LOVE to see these guys!

[@mattscfc849]

@@TankTheTech I bet you are Tank, I’ve even messaged Raoul this week and asked if I could have a picture with the band, when I go to see them. He said that he’d love too and It’ll be just after the sound check or just after the gig. No other band does that, these guys are so humble and I cannot wait to support them within the future.

[@13BadassMetal]

@@mattscfc849 Hell yeah.

[@pratyushbzr]

Really enjoyed this one Tank! And since you mentioned, the difference between 'Gaddaar' and 'Gaddaro' is just that the first one is singular and the second one is plural, meaning Traitor and Traitors respectively.

[@inkspotZ]

What a great band. Many of their songs sink into the soul, both in words and in music, I cried for so long because of their song Yaad. Having become a little famous, they immediately began to make the world around them a better place by doing charity work, which is not fake like that of politicians. It is very inspiring when you see someone who is passionate about what they do and who is pure in heart.

[@ejorbe]

I heard the first song that hey did and thought it was really good, this song is fantastic! Also the caption, “Indian singing intensifies” gave me and idea for you. You should make a shirt that has your silhouette taking your hat off with the caption, “Headbanging will intensify”

[@TankTheTech]

Solid idea!

[@makviktory4141]

Yes! I was hoping you'd door this one. Let's Go!!

[@elancaster3989]

Bloodywood rips I've been listening to them for a while. One of the security guards in my town always has it playing in his car when he stops at the coffee shop by my house. I had to ask him what he was listening too. Been a fan ever since

[@drAq44]

Oh man... That line you were talking about, and how you felt it... Felt it too, here in Poland.

[@pookha50]

I'm SO EXCITED you've done Bloodywood again! I really hope they come to the States on tour. I just LOVE their sound. Give me alllllllll the traditional drums....

[@RedBeardAnubis]

Yes!!!! Thanks for doing this!! Hopefully you will enjoy it.

[@tyleraardema6430]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing you check this one out. This song has so much bounce. It is going to go so hard live. Loved learning about the guitar. Impressive that it’s entirely hand made with no machine cuts.

[@KathrinePandell]

Thank you so much for giving them some hype! They're going to make it huge if this album gets a proper push. I finally managed to get myself some merch and the CD in an early/late Christmas present. Can't wait to have it in my hands in February. They're so cool and so hands on in everything they do! Awesome reaction, too!

[@kanzerace]

Awesome reaction. And the member that is missing in the video and the photo is their Bassist. Apparently he was on vacation when they did this shoot. But yeah, they do have a Bassist, and his name is Roshan. Also, the difference between Gaddaar and Gaddaaron is that "Gaddaaron" is the plural form of the word "Gaddaar", so it translates to Traitors.

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks for the info!

[@alexanderpreuss0701]

Bloodywood quickly became one of my favourite bands with their newer, original songs (their earlier covers were alright imo). I also love the sound and the messages in the songs. I was so glad as they released this song because I kinda feared that they might have been disbanded or something since I havent heard from them in a while... but now there's going to be an entire album of them! Also agree with your statement that they seem like a great bunch of guys, they really do. Not really my place to say, but thanks for this reaction and promoting this band, best wishes to you and them :)

[@Beardus_Maximus]

Dude this is sick! Thanks for doing the lord’s work and giving us another band to check out, definitely gonna be spinning their album in February.

[@karl-erlendmikalsen5159]

To me it sounds like a love child between Linkin Park, SOAD and Panthera. And yeah. The sound is super clean - whoever produced that did a great job.

[@jaygopinath1694]

Slipknot and ratm as well one of there biggest influences

[@dalbertyn]

Ah man, I can only image how wild the pit is gonna be for this song. These guys are so insanely good, I genuinely hope they go far. 🤘🤘🔥🔥🖤

[@Audard]

This band is the best new thing next to Orbit Culture. They take something old and give it their own spin and make it feel fresh and familiar with their own personal culture spin at the same time. That fucking breakdown before the ending was BRUTAL AF. So glad these guys are still going and breaking barriers. Thank you Bloodywood from a man in Australia.

[@larrywelchko6136]

God Damn these guys know how to bring it. The riff is sick and the message is so on point for everyone. I wish them so many years of success

[@leecollings493]

Thanks for turning me on to these dudes! We need more Diversity and culture in metal. I am a thrash, and death metal fan, so this style isn't really what I'd get super excited about, but I do like it.

[@teme3380]

I love when different genres are mixed! This one is a gem!!

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I've been following these guys for a long time, it's been great watching them grow into what they are now. Super proud of them to have made it.

[@hexesayuri90]

Woooow 😍 I didn't knew, they'd a album on the way! I discovered them around two yrs ago with their song "Jee Veerey" and I loved it! ❤ Such a strong message, that actually encouraged me (as someone who has chronic depression and more) to go forward once more! I'm very excited about the tour as well! I really hope that we can go to concerts again soon! 😍

[@danielsand8989]

Thanks for this video, instantly preordered 🙏🏻

[@jamesm5883]

Oh I'm really looking forward to this, this band comes from a country with very small to nil metal scene and they deserve all the support they can get! I'm always pulling for the underdogs and I'll be the first to get a ticket if they ever come to the US. Vinyl and digital on pre-order! Let's Go!!! 🤘

[@jaydeepsen4769]

We're trying to change the scene over here. Till now, metal is mainly popular in the North East part of India and my city of Kolkata which is the gateway to the North-East. The other metropolitans are catching up but the majority don't give a 💩

[@Imurai]

Shit, I missed the premiere :( Great reaction! Great music! I use a wheelchair, muscular atrophy. Few bands make me move, but I headbang over Orbit Culture or Iron Maiden. But Bloodywood? This shit makeass me J-U-M-P!!!!

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

They are great. Their songs sounded great before but I feel like they have taken another step musically, lyrically and also production. I wish these guys a lot of success and will do my part by buying the album. Will you do an interview with the guys?

[@TankTheTech]

I'd love to do an interview with them someday.

[@m00m00666]

I’ve seen these guys live and it was amazing I really underestimated how crazy it would be, I saw this video the moment it released and I booked the tickets for my city instantly

[@LionheartSJZ]

Love the unique sound with the Indian vibes! Also it rocks hard as hell! 🤘🏼

[@SzaryAlien]

FINALLY!!! I was waitin for this stuff from You with Bloodywood Gaddar. And You came with!!! I just Fall in Love in Bloodywood!!! This band and this song is soooo awesome. Atm this is the Best of theirs songs. The music and what they sing about is just brilliant. Such power and message in few minutes. Thank You so much for this stuff. Awesome job!!!👊🤘

[@freyallarganswald4746]

Hey tank, I’m glad to see this reaction, I adore these guys. Love the metal/ traditional Indian fusion. It’s bass player that’s missing. This is an amazing track 🤗💕 I’d love to see them live xxx

[@Thnielsen85]

Holy mother of dear (insert deity of choice) that groove! Hindi-Groove metal.. never knew i needed it, but i do!

[@FL-PHILLIP]

Just recently saw Bloodywood in Athens Georgia. They are fucking awesome. Great guys...had the pleasure to meet them as well...just nice humble guys. It was a small-ish theater and they blew the roof off along with Wargasm and Vended. Love these guys!

[@jargien240]

Damnit Tank, thank you for helping me find another band! This was Frakking awesome. Now I have a question for you, and if you don't want to answer it is okay. How much cash have you spent on pre-orders since you started the chanel? Also my regular wish for Amon Amarth - Raise your Horns reaction and the fun game of "guess the artist" that comes with the video. And of course the gear and production put into the video as a lot of it is filmed at concerts. Love your work mate, keep it up!

[@pjameson1981]

I've been listening to them for years, and I'm so excited for the debut album in Feb

[@Psym00]

Really looking forward to seeing them in March, they're playing in a pub about 10 minutes walk from my house. I love small, intimate gigs. It's sold out already, I bet a lot of fans are missing out this time around but hopefully they'll be back for another tour at a bigger venue

[@mattscfc849]

Ahh the Crawford arms or however it’s spelt haha, I’ve got myself and a mate a ticket for the gig in Birmingham. March seems so far away

[@soccordia4675]

Discovered them last week and now I have them running on continuous loop since then. They're awsome. I'm so curious about your reaction. And they will come to my hometown in march.... yes!

[@__Raze]

Great, been waiting to see this show up in my recommended! Excited to watch this!

[@Trestin13]

Go see their newest song! Gave me chills!

[@AbdelhakimKabir]

Being an instant Fan of the band, I discovered it at StevieT channel and I was so late for it. But I'm so glad I discovered them knowing that I'm a big fan of As I lay Dying, and I thought never I'll hear a stronger breakdowns more than them, until I discovered bloodywood!! And believe me, They didn't disappoint me in any of their tracks, it's the perfect taste I've searching for it since my early metalhead days at 2007. And SIR, your channel is gone up for me knowing this is the second time I watch your videos, you give the right reaction with the right aspect of your opinion and you justify it, definitely a subscriber now, and the ring is for all the vids!!! Glad to discover you man!!

[@gandyhyoga6942]

Great song, love them so much, already bought a ticket to go and see them here in Italy in March. So happy you give them visibility and credit!

[@SPVFilmsLtd]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Karan - the guitarist - records and mixes all of their stuff including the upcoming album. He was talking about buying a new PC just so he could actually do the album on it on his Instagram.

[@tomquilter741]

Saw these guys pre covid and they were fantastic! Already booked to see them next year 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I'm with you - I'm really loving what I've heard from Bloodywood so far. Pre-ordered that album already, and I really hope they are someday able to do a US tour.

"Aaj" is out now, too. Another great tune and video from these guys!

[@prakashusha3006]

Dhol and tumbi (which has been used in most of their songs) are Punjabi musical instruments

[@ItsAsparageese]

I surfed here from the original video, and I _almost_ just bounced right away (after leaving you a good-faith Like, of course) to find a reaction from someone who wasn't familiar with Bloodywood at all yet, because I'm excited to see someone flip out for their first time seeing them ... but your vibe was so wholesome right off the bat that I had to stay for a full view, and I gotta say, this might be the highest-quality song reaction vid I've ever seen! Even compared to a lot of vocal coach type channels that offer other technical commentary! The extra facts on screen and general style/structure of your work comes across as exceptionally professional and classy (somehow gives me nostalgia for Pop Up Videos on VH1 that I watched as a kid lol) and your warm sparkly-eyed smile and sincere headbanging is just so relatable and endearing! Thanks for giving these guys some well-deserved attention, and I'll definitely be checking out more of your channel from here :)

[@malkystoddart2562]

Actually not bad!! I listen to a large variety of music in this genre. But the adding their culture influence of the East Indian sound is 😎 It’s really awesome to hear music of this type from all corners of our little blue ball !! Music definitely has no boundaries

Their music is more north Indian Punjabi mixed with metal. The rhythms and instruments specifically. 😁

[@gentlemanjester637]

One of my favourite Bloodywood songs is Endurant, mainly because I can relate to both sides told in the song. The video is also fantastic, with an ending that Shyamalan would be envious of.

I will see them at a Festival in Summer! So freaking pumped!

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

Also for anybody confused about the text flashing in the video saying they're against fascism and communalism... Communalism has nothing to do with communism, so they're not making a statement about economics. Communalism means the attempt of generating violence and hatred between different religious and ethnic groups and communities, which is very common in much of Asia. Including India.

[@TheDjentleman77]

This is my favorite one by these guys (old stuff is awesome as well)! 🤘🏻🔥 It’s so bouncy and the riffs are awesome. On another note, I have a suggestion for you. A fairly new band from Finland called Atlas and their song/video Uhri. Definitely worth a watch. 🤙🏻

I'm looking foreward to the new album and hope that the higher powers and the covid situation permits me to go to their show in Copenhagen march 2022. A week before Bloodywood, Twelve Foot Ninja are playing at the same venue and I would also like to catch that show. How ever I don't live in our capitol and traveling to Copenhagen twice within about a week does offer some financiel difficulties, but hopefully i can find a solution before that. Seeing both bands live are on my bucketlist. If only they toured together.

[@armandthevagabond8641]

I'm really considering to go see them in Denmark. The thing is, I don't know if I can travel to Denmark at that point in time, even though, I'm just 20 minutes away in Sweden. Kind of frustrating.

Right on the money with the nu-metal thing, to my ear it's very similar to what Skindred used to do. They're a Welsh band who add Reggae and Jamaican dancehall to their nu-metal, well worth a listen!
