I love the Hu. My sister and I saw them a couple years ago at a small club..... tickets were $20.00. In August they are playing at Shoreline Amphitheater with 5 Finger Death Punch and Megadeth. Depending on what's going on with Covid-19, I'm going to see them it will be way different going alone. My sister died of Covid-19 the end of January and I'm still having some lingering symptoms. Sorry for the sad direction that took.... looking forward to seeing all 3 of these bands again.

[@Hallanrauta]

Try Nine Treasures or Tengger Cavalry if you like metal but The Hu doesn't do the trick for you. I always considered The Hu more like biker rock than metal tbh, but that's not to say they are bad.

[@sisterhoney61]

Bloodywood, the Hu and Ningen Isu are definitely not weird metal bands. They are some of my favorite bands. They all play awesome music. Ningen Isu have been around for 30+ years. Bloodywood have played at Wacken Open Air. The Hu have some the best videos around. They're like mini movies.

[@nkelm873]

Weird doesn't mean bad by any means. I'd still agree on the fact they aren't weird.

[@krsporlaneff2549]

Bloodywood is fucking awesome, it's like if Zack De La Rocha became vocalist of an Indian folkish version of Disturbed. They are a lot underrated, their songs could easily plays on any rock radio. I also liek a lot Nanowar Of Steel and Kontrust.

[@viscountrainbows6452]

Bloodywood sounds like an Indian Blood Stain Child, who are an edm/trance influenced melodic death metal band, with a little rapping on the side. And yes they are awesome Also check out their cover of Tunak Tunak Tun, for anyone not yet in the know.

I completely agree with this. Particularly Bloodywood, words cannot describe the emotions and messages their songs convey. Not to mention the social work they've done in addition to the music

[@nerddub]

you had me until bloodywood and the HU. Those guys are legit and amazing. To group them in with some of these less serious acts and call them weird degrades them IMO.

[@dehumanizedanomaly3413]

Your interpretation of "weird" as having negative connotations degrades anybody with any level of uniqueness and individuality.

[@nerddub]

@@dehumanizedanomaly3413 not my interpretation of weird. I agree with you completely I see weird as being synonymous with uniqueness and individuality. But the video listed bands that are themselves meant to be parodies, and I don’t agree with that as the characterization of Bloodywood or The HU. So maybe you didn’t watch the video you just saw weird and degrade and thought you’d white knight some introverts but maybe follow along better next time.

[@kingpubg4865]

Weird is like GHOST and MARILYN MANSON, for their "over the top" fashion style while adding nothing new to the genre, "out-of-the-box" is what describe most of these bands, means they pushed their creativity to the limit that made them sound and look awesome. Kuburan(eng: grave) is from my country by the way and they're pretty much a dead band

[@Saiege]

[@alexmanojmathews]

GWAR R PIONEERS. The Hu is awesome. The energy levels of BLOODY WOOD music is mind blowing . Though i dont know how the cool acapella band is heavy metal ?. But all the bands are good !!!

[@aragorn767]

Bloodywood is definitely not weird... It's pretty standard folk metal. Same with The Hu.

[@NavySeal6474]

Yes but the only difference is that The Hu come off as epic whereas Bloodywood just sounds like they discovered Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and, dare I say, Rage Against the Machine two decades too late and just threw some Hindi in the mix to say "we're Indian". Rotting Christ is from Greece and pretty much nailed "Indian Metal" in their song entitled Devadevam. They set the bar pretty damn high too. If only Bloodywood had done like RC and incorporated more elements of Indian culture into the atmosphere of their music rather than the video, I might have respected them a little. Quite frankly, they come across as Indians trying to appeal to Americans via a radical, albeit corny genre of American music that died back in the 00's. Calling them "folk metal" is a bit rich.

[@KaosKrusher]

@@NavySeal6474 "If only Bloodywood had done like RC and incorporated more elements of Indian culture into the atmosphere of their music rather than the video" you surely mean the other way round ... I listened to RC's Devadevam and there is pretty much nothing indian in it ... (whereas Bloodywood sounds way more indian right from the beginning ... (not so much after I agree))

[@lissakaye610]

This is a nice list. Surprised Gnome wasn’t on here, but pretty stoked I’ve got to see quite a few of these. Alien Weaponry would be a good add since they are an amazing metal band who also covers great material in their Native tongue. The Mac Sabbath video reminds me of the old school MTV Deathmatch and Sepulturas Ratamahatta video. Pretty sweet.

[@FearFrontierOFFICIAL]

This stuff hardly counts as weird compared to what else is out there. Some of these are just bringing their own culture into music while using very generic chords, meaning it couldn't be more normal.

[@JML61576]

I feel like people have forgotten Skinny Puppy...and significant parts of the Industrial scene of the 80s and 90s.

[@casey8378]

Had a friend who installed pro sound systems in cars back early 90s. Whenever he really wanted to test a setup to its limits he'd use Skinny Puppy because of how dynamic and well produced some of their stuff was compared to other bands of the time.

I think Mac Sabbath was already acknowledged by the old bat Ozzy Osbourne himself though. 🤔 GWAR is also an established act though, like Alestorm and or Wind Rose. I want to root for Clown Core but it's already been done before (Insane Clown Posse) with some jazzy tweaks thrown in there for "uniqueness". 🤷🏾‍♂️ Edit- Kuburan looks like a Thai (??) version of a local band in our country, Tanya Markova.
