WE REACT TO BLOODYWOOD: AAJ - AWESOME, SO AWESOME!!

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

6:50 it takes a special kind of badass to have a flute solo in a metal song and make it look like the heaviest thing you'll ever see

[@Urbanindia745]

6:50 "he gets all the pussy"

[@alexanderfjeldkarlsen4243]

So true! Legend!

[@jeannineh9080]

Fun fact, since you commented on the video appearance - they’re 100% indie, they record & produce all their own music & videos. This one was literal guerrilla filming, dodging guards on a tea plantation, Raul (the rap guy) was attacked by leeches during the water shoot, there’s tons of stories

[@MKitchen75]

thats why we appreciate them..

[@jjuullmmeerr7711]

I know this comment is a year old, but they just signed with Fearless Records in October

[@jeannineh9080]

@ yup. AND Karan has an Ibanez endorsement now!

[@Blicher6]

At the Copenhagen show, they jumpt into the crowd and created their own circel-pit, with instruments and all. I have never seen anything like it, so F----ng cool !

[@chaosmage175]

That's so fucking cool...

[@GingerKidCustoms]

Non metalheads l: "metal is nothing but satanism and noisey chaos" Bloodywood: powerful positive message and flute solo's Metalheads: "I LOVE BLOODYWOOD 🤘🤘" 😅😅

[@death_parade]

This is probably the only metal band I listen to. I mean not counting ones like SIM which I only heard due to the anime I was watching.

[@de5troythebrain]

Bloodywood is one of those few bands that make me want to flip tables in the most positive ways.

[@crombajaa]

Good one. And that woman is " The Snake charmer" btw. She is one of the best Bagpiper player in the country and she is a friend/gf of someone in theirs. She mostly travels with them.

[@JoAnn69BC]

I saw them live last month in Zürich. Man...what a performance...and they are so charismatic and a whooole lot of humor these guys have. One of the best concerts I've seen in my live. And believe me....I've been on some the past 20 years 😂

[@rebeccaraab4920]

Hard agree. Saw them last year and it was absolutely one of the best shows I've ever seen. Super high energy and so genuine. I'm seeing them again next month. Can't wait!

[@JoAnn69BC]

@@rebeccaraab4920 so cool. I almost envy you. Have a blast of an evening. Rock n Roll🤘🏽🤩

[@TheChiraagG]

Their gigs are so much fun!

[@michaelfontanin5774]

Saw them in Paris. Totally agree, the best concert i've seen.

[@richard99cookify]

@@michaelfontanin5774 Saw them in London 1500 capacity March on main tour. Got incredibly lucky and saw they did a 200 capacity club in a little town on a Wednesday night last week so had to get tickets. Stood front row, inches from Karan's guitar and fistbumped them all etc, fucking epic live and on album

[@DonTryThis]

That flute solo gets me every time

[@emilythomas9786]

Bloodywood is top tier for sure, they don’t have a bad song imo. Check out Gaddar, Machi Basad, and Jee Veerey next! They’re coming to the states next month and I’ve got my VIP for Pittsburgh, I can NOT wait!

[@c4t4ly5t]

Jeep veerey gives me goosebumps every time.

[@SaastaTV]

Bloodywood has alot of song that are about mental health and social commentary. Definately recommend watching Jee Veerey and Defiant, also Machi bhasad is a banger and highlights how their sound is very much influenced by RATM as you said.

[@rohitnarayan120]

Got the chance to see them live in the UK last week. I echo everyone’s comments about how good they are live- excellent performances, energy, ability to engage with the audience. One of the best live acts I have seen in over 4 decades of concert going.

[@BugattiONE666]

The girl singing is know as the SnakeCharmer.....she also covers Metallica....on Bagpipes.....

[@indubitanter4490]

So, Aaj was my introduction to Bloodywood, and it’s still my favorite of theirs. There’s something so powerful in how the music combines itself to both be natural and also a force of nature. :D It was a hell of a ride with my synesthesia, too.

[@alextwardowski776]

YESSSSS MORE BLOODYWOOD

[@Professor_Greenleaf]

I never would have found Bloodywood if I hadn’t found Ryker Road. Hell, you guys introduced me to NF too. You guys are legit “influencers”!

[@SpinDoc420]

same for Bloodywood and Ren, but i found them looking for new influencers response to NF( and to see people break with How could you leave us).. love these two, the BEST duo on KZbin HANDS DOWN!!!!!

[@davorgrgic5574]

NF was a fresh breeze of summer air..arty onany levels..a hidden gem..yes..

[@Pufferzsola]

i'm so happy that you react to another Bloodywood!!! They are really talented! Thanks for the video!

[@lonnaneil31]

Thanks for reacting to this amazing group again. NEXT Gaddaar, Macha Bhasad, Jee Veerey and Ari Ari. So talented. So glad your enjoying them.

[@chaosmage1756]

I absolutely second every one of those songs, as well as Yaad!

[@davorgrgic5574]

Gaddaar is a MUST..mandatory to say the least.. 😎 What a fekin groove through out and so relatable, no matter where you're from..NO FLAG!!! 🤘🎅HAIL SANTA

[@AGDinCA]

So glad to see you back with Bloodywood! Seriously, reaction channels like this are what have helped launch them onto the global stage. So, please, by all means, keep visiting their songs! It's a win for you getting to hear great music of a different flavor, and a win for them with exposure to audiences everywhere. 🤘

[@zulgeek9827]

Love love love Bloodywood. Really hope I can see them live at some point.

[@emmawhelan-galbraith6895]

I can't wait to see these live in June at Download Festival in the UK. I hadn't heard them before but we listened to all the band announced so far and are really looking forward to seeing Bloodywood, the Hu and Ice Nine Kills.

[@richard99cookify]

What did you make of their Download set? Seen them twice in small venues here in UK March and May and both gigs #1 and #2 of my life, and I have seen plenty

[@emmawhelan-galbraith6895]

@@richard99cookify they were amazing live I'd definitely like to see them in a smaller venue.

[@dapaintbrush6965]

​@@emmawhelan-galbraith6895saw them also and the bass out powered everything 😂😂

[@KathyClysm]

Fucking fantastic band, they are so inspirational, each and every one of their song has a different unique and incredibly important message that is uplifting and so full of kindness

[@johnmartin9854]

Awesome reaction!! Bloodywood’s album is easily one of the top ten metal albums of 2022 and more reactions are needed. Eric, when talking about how the guy with the flute gets all the pussy, I thought for sure you’d say something about “one time at band camp”…… opportunity missed.🤣🤣🤣

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

🤣🤣

[@Tzar-Athi]

The girl at the end (snakecharmer) she has her own channel and is a kick ass metal techno bagpipes player, happens to be Karan's (guitar/fluit) girlfriend

[@annkanyr3024]

Between these guys and The Hu, though having vastly different sounds, rock got a WHOLE lot more interesting! Good one guys !

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

Oh, I Loved The Hu!!

[@RtheDoost]

This whole album has soooooo much heart. Gaddaar slaps so hard too, and i feel should have been more of a payoff than the leading track. Definitely recommend

[@uxanrokka655]

Saw them live a Louder Than Life 2022. They kicked ass and cant wait to see them again.

[@SaastaTV]

Boodywood ❤ gonna see them live in June in Finland, they also have a full length documentary on their first european tour on KZbin

[@johnmartin9854]

Also, early congrats on 100k!!!! Should hit it by Friday for your live show, you guys are freakin awesome and we love you!

[@makviktory4141]

They'll be in my city next month and I'm beyond excited!!

[@AGDinCA]

Me too! Well, not my city, per se, but close enough! Santa Ana, ready or not!!

[@almuramoo5554]

ANTHEM!!! Please Gadaar next... Stay safe and greetz from Germany

[@Nattie666]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Bloodywood. These guys are phenomenal and do everything themselves. They toured the UK a few weeks and I followed them. Absolute gents who are not just talented but they're all so damn kind and friendly. Make sure you react to everything else they've done. You wont be disappointed ❤

[@megancarey2121]

Just seen them in Glasgow a few weeks ago it was absolutely amazing! Empowerment is amazing when through music

[@BurningLynx]

Jee Veerey thats all that needs to be said. must watch

[@Whatreally123]

I saw them live in Bangalore, India. Amazing performance. And they are super cool dudes without any attitude. I have been following them since their beginnings when they used to do comedic covers of metal songs with an Indian twist. Fantastic to see how far they have come.

[@TimA-in3lx]

Archi the singer at the end AKA Snake Charmer was Jai (lead guitar flute player friend/gf at the time

[@JayGunn]

Fun fact: the woman is Archy Jay, AKA The Snake Charmer ( www.youtube.com/@TheSnakeCharmer ). New to the channel, dunno if you react to more than metal & hip hop, but if so definitely give her a listen. Mostly covers from various genres, but Nageena is fantastic and an original 👍 Also a collab with a couple other pipers covering Shipping Up To Boston & Enter Sandman is pretty f'n great. That's the one I first found her during a real ... out there YT rabbit hole 😆

[@dimitrasotirakoglou2553]

They are epic ❤ Thank you

[@Trestin13]

So the woman singing is The Snake Charmer, and I'm pretty sure she's with the guitarist/flautist.

[@chrishill7088]

Pretty sure they separated right before this tour.

[@OrdinaryMaga]

I listen to these guys when I work out!!

[@aydenquincy1847]

I LOVE these guys!!! Usually, female vocals kill it for me but these were SO perfectly done I have to admit I'm making an exception - WHOLEHEARTEDLY! This song especially has so many layers it has dimensions! Absolutely amazing.

Another good metal band [although not folk metal] from Africa is Botswanan band Skinflint) Cemican- Mexico Manntra- Croatia Rune- Srbija Dubioza Kolektiv- Bosnia and Hertzegovina (NOTE: they are called a band with no genre because they blend EVERYTHING ... just compare their songs "No escape" and "space song") Arkona-Russia Percival Shatenbach- Poland ( Percival is kind of a panslavic since they covered folk songs from all 3 subgroups of Slavic peoples) Al Namrood- Saudi arabia Hassak- Kazakhstan (technically an ethno band but their song "Amanat" would not be out of place on a metal concert) Bloodywood-India Nini music - Taiwn MicacleOfSound- Ireland (songs like "Grainn Mahoil", "Sirona" and "Tale of Cu Chullain") NOTE: if anyone knows a band from South America please do let me know I want to have a band from each continent to recommend
