The Metal Hunter Reacts: Bloodywood Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot) [Indian Metal] (This Blew Me Away!)

[@TheMetalHunter]

Thank you all so much for all the kind words!! I’ve gone ahead and reacted to their new song Dana Dan. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSnk2d_gr2dnaM

[@jasonh6919]

You really should check out Gaddaar. One word. Breakdown.

I'm looking 🙂

[@faradayfelix]

Dana Dan moves throughout with equal measures of aggressiveness and subtlety. It's very impressive, with a poignant message, just bloody brilliant 😁

[@tomasl.8806]

EVERY language can do metal, for metal has no borders.

As an Indian I can confirm Bloodywood made me realise even Indians can do metal XD there's so much pop music, so I didn't think there was enough exposure for people to metal music.

[@angshumanc4473]

Not a fan of reaction channels/videos but appreciate that you didn't stop the music for unnecessarily and listened attentively from start to finish. You put your drink aside when the main riffs started and even let Karan finish his speech at the end. Nice reaction ✌️

yeah right I hate when people when do it and wanna sounds like some kind of Expert

Im 2yrs late to your video unfortunately, but I just recently saw Bloodywood live in Athens Georgia here in the US. It was a small intimate theater and they blew the roof off. I also had the pleasure of meeting them...very nice and humble guys. I totally understand you being speechless, this song along with the rest of Rakshak are fucking awesome. Glad I found your channel! Cheers!

[@cramerfan04]

I was at the Athens show too! So glad I got to see them live, it was an awesome show.

They are instantly one of the best metal bands EVER! I listen to Bloodywood, Alien Weaponry, The Hu, and Heilung! Primal power is primal power regardless of which culture tries to harness it.

[@Severeign-sf5uq]

I've just discovered these guys today and was shocked how nice they managed to mix metal with their Indian folk music. And yes, melodic aggressive choruses???!!! Fuck yeah, I'm buying this shit!!!))))

[@ramonparkour]

The most indigenous/inovative hard hitting band since sepultura! Amazing!

[@mytesttickles4138]

As an Aussie I think this band is absolutely amazing! I have Indian mates that I work with and don't even like this type of music, and now they have this on their playlist. I don't really know if they like it, or it's just country pride, but regardless of it all we all jam out to it at work when it comes up on the Bluetooth

[@andyparackal7471]

I wanna say something Indian metal scene is huge! I am metal head from India who lives in Brisbane Australia! South India and North east part of India is obsessed with Metal. In every colleges and schools in Bangalore we have metal events! Im talking about way before KZbin, I watched Iron maiden live in India Bangalore in 2007, I watched Metallica in 2011 in Bangalore then I moved to Australia 🇦🇺. Our metal Scene is still powerful!. It’s an emotion for us.

[@insalubriousdithyramb1742]

@@andyparackal7471 As a North eastern guy I can confirm this. My first introduction to western music was when I attended a Scorpions concert in Shillong when I was a little kid. I dont think most people in other states in India even knew about Scorpions back then.Your comment refreshed that childhood memory. Haha.

[@KarleneE]

I am Canadian, I JUST found Bloodywood in the last 2 months and I am loving it. Dana Dan is exactly what I would have recommended! Going to watch that reaction now! As a member of the Sisterhood, I've subscribed!

Yo same but I only found them 3 weeks ago. This band is sick! 🤘 🇨🇦🇮🇳

[@michaelfelsinger-k2i]

Thank you , Metal Hunter ! I live in Sydney, Sri Lankan Aussie, I just heard this tonight, saw the video of their set at Summer Breeze, and I am totally shaken up ! I have heard heavy metal most of my 65 years and appreciated it, but this band has energized me like no other. This review has earned you a new subscriber. All the best !

[@aydenquincy1847]

I LOVE this group!!! Can not say enough about how they're going to improve my music collection. I recently found out that the guy who plays the guitar and flute is also the group's manager as well as the director and producer for their music and videos. An insane talent who brought more insane talent to form this force.

[@MsSteelphoenix]

You listened to the song the whole way through and then you immediately compared them to Alien Weaponry (one of my favourite bands). Subscribed.

[@TheMetalHunter]

Thank you so much!! I don’t see any value in me pausing a video to talk about it midway, I think the real experience is listening to the entire song in one sitting, it’s much more genuine and sincere and the way that the song is intended. Also, Alien Weaponry fucking RULE.

[@josemamartinez2925]

Man, I'm a Spaniard but I discovered this band, for my cousins are adopted from India, and I've been keeping that always in mind (some eighteen years ago or so) and my love for and interest on metal (and my cousins' background) led me to Bloodywood's first's releases and they have never ever dissapointed me. (SO sorry for mispellings and such, BTW).

Very cool, I really dig seeing how Metal is uniquely interpreted in different parts of the world and within various cultures. My first initial impression, approach and vibe -wise, was the album Roots by Sepultura which remains one of my favorite albums of all-time. I'll definitely be looking out for more of their stuff.

Thats what keeps Metal alive. Now and then a band shows up you can not compare with anything . I heard " they sound a bit like Sepultura/ Soulfly/ Ektomorph" But: No, they sound like Bloodywood. They combined the two things I love the most: Metal and India.

Singers n Listeners and of course, you belong to new third tribe (thanx to KZbin like platform) the reactors. Now that you tasted the Indian Curry, Enjoy that more.... These guys walk the talk. Bloodywood not only sing but also go one step forward. You will know once you watch their videos in full ie., beyond the song. Each of their track touch different subject like Jee Veeray (Depression), Endurant (Bullying) Yaad (Loss of loved ones) etc etc.

Just had to comment as I had the same reaction to the breakdown/rhythm but I'm in the UK and play bodhran, traditional Irish/Celtic drum, where you heard Maori I definitely heard Irish...some rhythms just seem universal! Used to work to work with a bunch of guys from various asian backgrounds, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi etc, we had a work party with a DJ and live dhol (the bhangra drum in the video) players walking about in the crowd, feckin awesome! Personally, I think non-rapper vocalist is phenomenal. Anyway, off to check out the rest of your channel \m/
