Bloodywood

About

Bloodywood isn't just a band; it's a cultural phenomenon detonating on the global metal scene. Hailing from India, this powerhouse fuses the ferocity of nu-metal with the rhythmic intricacy of traditional Indian folk music, creating a soundscape that’s both aggressively modern and deeply rooted in ancient heritage. The project began as a tongue-in-cheek YouTube channel producing metal covers of Bollywood songs before morphing into an original act with a fierce social conscience. Bloodywood’s self-titled debut album solidified their position, showcasing tracks blending Hindi lyrics with English metal vocals, punctuated by the dhol’s thunderous beat and the flute’s melodic cries. Think Rage Against the Machine detonating a Bollywood film set, with a lyrical focus on combating social issues like corruption, mental health struggles, and environmental degradation. Their breakthrough came with viral success for tracks like "Ari Ari" and "Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot)," catapulting them onto international festival stages. Bloodywood isn't just playing music; they're building bridges, using the universal language of metal to spark conversations and connect cultures. Current projects include extensive touring and continued advocacy for positive change through their music and online platforms.
