It's awesome to see people from around the world representing in the comments! thank you so much for supporting us, we're a family and a movement. All of you make me believe that music can and will bring revolution, that a better world is there for the making. Let's build it together, much love always 🤘🏼♥️ - Raoul
Half an hour into watching this and I was moved to tears when the Germans showed you guys much love. The girl holding the Indian flag made me weep happy tears. I’m an Indian that was born in Fiji and migrated to Australia and when I was growing up I hid my ethnicity to avoid being bullied as a child (though things have changed and the racism has diminished a lot here these days). I got into the metal scene hard as soon as I turned 18 and quickly saw I was the only Indian girl at a lot of gigs. I saw a lot of right winged metal heads which made me question if I was welcome. I realise now that I was very much overthinking my race in the metal scene. However watching those moments you guys had in Germany soothed that pain I felt years ago. I felt pride and so much love. It was very touching
I'm so sorry for the discrimination of your childhood but very glad you found a scene you loved in metal. If any childhood feelings pop up, comfort your inner child with the knowledge that judgement from others is purely insecurity projected. Not an excuse for them, but a reminder for you that you are divinely unique, special and infinitely cool.
The German metal scene for the most part is left wing/progressive and inclusive. They're there to have fun. And the best way of having fun is when everybody has fun. Sad if it isn't seen like this everywhere.
@@roaxeskhadil Most of the Aussie metal scene isn't right wing. Theres a few assholes though. The problem is more Australians have an attitude of "She'll be right mate", meaning that if you just ignore the idiots, they'll go away. The problem is with racism that isn't true, and perhaps because we havent seen the sort of hell the organized racism caused in Europe and the US, aussies just dont understand how damaging racism can be. Most of us arent racist, the problem is, we seem to be blind to when others are and that can make us blind to the suffering caused by it. We're getting better, attitudes are improving, but its a generational thing, not an overnight thing.
All my Indian brothers and sisters please I beg you don't let this gem of a band be missed out. Notice them. Others have approved them. Most of their regular listeners are from outside of India despite the Hindi lyrics they like them. And yes still waiting for y'all to tour entire india.
You're kidding me? The Hindi lyrics are one of the reasons I fucking love this band, it's so interesting to hear and try to sing along! Now that I think of it, I wonder how cool would Raoul sound rapping in Hindi (full Hindi song maybe?)
I love hearing traditional instruments in every style of music. The dhol works so well in Bloodywood's music. I'm wishing for a collaboration with a master tabla player.
Yes, i've fell in love with The HU as well as these guys, they are just taking music to new levels, with the mix of traditional and Metal, it's a great time to be here to be part of this new wave coming through
It's so crazy that I knew who you were before I ran across Bloodywood. I was bouncing around video suggestions here and it led me to Shipping up to Boston/Enter Sandman!
As an over 40 year old, American Metal fan, I was so caught off guard by this band when I heard "Dana Dan" and just had to do a "deep dive." This documentary is AMAZING! I think it's so important for young bands and artists to see the work that was put into gaining the footing, experience, and appreciation needed for "success." The drive this band had, coming from the ground up, and the work they put in to get that performance is inspiring. And it is awesome that they are now getting the attention worldwide that they truly deserve! Thank you, Bloodywood for introducing me to your Heavy Metal take on your culture! Keep up the great work!
This is one of the nicest comment threads I’ve read on RU-vid, which is testament to the humanity that runs through this band and that attracts good people who share their welcoming and supportive spirit. Best wishes to you all.
Bro, I moved to Serbia a year ago and there's not a single person here who doesn't know Bloodywood. When I tell them I'm from India, the next thing they say is BLOODYWOOD! That's the power and pride of my country. Love India, love Bloodywood! 😘💪
This is where you get when you pursuit your own dreams instead of trying to appeal to your parents or some potential fiancé's parents. Don't live in fear of the gossip amongst the Indian community. You and only you decide what a successfull live looks like. Stay at home mums talking shit about other mums children can stfu.
I was sold when he said "I didn't want my parent to know I am doing weird stuff that involves people screaming" :D Germany Poland and UK here in one person :D
Thank you so much for featuring our music in your documentary. It was one of the most incredible journeys to witness. What you have done is prove that dreams do come true. Wish you guys nothing but the best and more and more success. Got goosebumps watching this!
You got goosebumps? I can relate! I don't like the noisy instrumentals in rock/ songs but I got emotional when he was talking about the success of "Jee Veere" and yet I had not even seen the lyrics. So I googled after. I can stomach metal from India because of the mixed Inidan tune.
As a Transwoman from Rural Kentucky USA, your music has been a massive inspiration, whenever I'm down I listen to Aaj and it picks me right back up. thanks for your whole attitude as a band.
I am a Rap artist from Shillong, Meghalaya, Northeast of India. My channel recently crossed 1000 subs and I didn't realise the importance of the feat until I watched this documentary. Now I know where to look at everytime I am dejected or discouraged in life! This is going to have an everlasting impact on me and my career. Thank you BLOODYWOOD for sharing with us this incredible journey of yours, wish you all the best! JEE VEEREY 🙏🏼
Im half Swedish half Sri Lankan, I know it’s not the same country😂 But your music in a sense really makes me proud of my heritage. The struggles within India and Sri Lanka, along with the lyrics is what really connects everything for me
I was one of the lucky 15,000 to see your show at Wacken. It was an incredible moment in time that I will never forget. Keep it up guys! Sending love from Detroit, USA!
I watched this documentary from start to finish in one sitting and I'm sitting here, grinning from EAR-TO-EAR like a madman, as I start watching it from the beginning all over again. @Bloodywood -- I'm 41 years old, Indian and have lived in the West nearly all my life. I've been displaced, cut out off from people of my own age and ethnicity and dealt with racism and the pressure to hide and assimilate everywhere I've been. Sometimes its brought good things like my love for heavy metal, but other times its brought shame, pain and depression about myself as a person and about my skin color and identity. You guys made me feel, for the first time - THE FIRST TIME EVER - that I can be proud of my culture. You are the first thing I've ever seen or heard that's made me feel proud to be Indian. To feel like I have something to contribute like you guys contribute. Thank you.
On my partners account currently but have lived in Australia my entire life. Your words resonate so much with in myself. You said it better than I ever could. I'm a vast mixture of ethnicities Indian included but have never felt I've belonged anywhere.
Hey man. I know it can feel whack, but there are people that love you. The loudest idiot racist can cut through a crowd and make you feel tiny and alone , but the rest of that crowd are quietly hating everything that racist idiot says, they are on your side even if they are too shy to stand up to him. Stand proud my man. India has a culture thousands of years old, you can wear that culture with pride.
Aww man. I'm white and western and I haven't been through the same thing as you but I've felt shame, pain and depression for other reasons. I wouldn't wish those feelings on anyone. Race isn't a good way to judge people and fuck those people who do. Bloodywood speak to something universal. Music is universal but also the words they speak are so relevant wherever you are in the world. Besides all differences we are one, in liking Bloodywood at the very least.
Hey bro, I don't know where you live or even what you have had to live with. But you just have to find the good people wherever you reside. Anywhere you go there will always be bad people that want to bring you down to their level but there will also be good people who will respect and love you for who you are. I am from the USA and proud of it and I can honestly say that the folks I have known that are of Indian decent, wether Sikh or Pashtun or whatever (I admittedly do not know much about Indian ethnic and religious groups and don't ask) I have always liked and felt comfortable with almost immediately. Just stay strong and be the best person you can be and that will attract other good people, no matter where you are.
Literal tears watching the curtain open on you at Wacken -- so proud to be even a tiny part of the Bloodywood family, you guys are truly amazing, full of heart, and deserve every bit of success you've been getting. If the USA survives this year intact I hope we'll get you over here someday -- I can't think of a show I'd be happier to see. Rock on, Bloodywood, and much love.
I'm tired of the same bands singing about abstract sh..t, and you are like a diamond to my soul. You make me feel emotions, bright emotions and give motivation to do good deeds and just live. This is what music should exist for, but many people have forgotten about it. Thank you, I hope I will be at your concert someday.
Guys, this is awesome. I watched this with my bf (I'm a metal head, he's not) after we finished watching global metal and he couldn't wrap his head around how metal could sound "Indian" and I played him some of your music videos and then we watched this (he's totally hooked now btw). What an awesome journey so far, hope you guys make much more music. Much love from South Africa
Hey BLOODYWOOD! 🤘I'm one of those guys who doesn't really stick to one genre, and metal isn't usually my go-to (more into acid jazz and prog rock) but DAMN you guys just kick the doors open with your music. What really impresses me is that you sing about subjects that we all have to cope with at some time or another, taboo sh*t that no one is comfortable dealing with, and you just unapologetically throw it out there. That f***in' ROCKS, man. That's the essence of not just metal, not just music, but real ARTISTRY. And then there's the work you all put in, no one's slacking, no one's ego is in the way, you all pull hard and play hard and it shows. Hoping you make it to Dallas TX someday, so this mid-fifties white dude can bring his foster son to see you, and have our brains expanded, our hearts opened up, and our eardrums shattered. NO FLAG!!!!
I was at that show in Wiesloch! It was one of the best shows of my life, the chemistry between the audience and these guys was just spectacular! I had a quick chat with Jayant outside after the show, he's such a nice guy. Such an honor to have seen and met you. Shame we had such a long way back home and had to leave early, i'd loved to talk to you more. Ah well, maybe next time you're on tour in Europe? ;-)
Thank you for your performance in Atlanta, Georgia! It was my first metal and or Rock concert and my first major outing outside of work after a depressive episode during quarantine. My husband usually doesn't do loud crowds or crowded places and can't stand for extended periods but the venue was extremely accommodating and we noticed he wasn't the only person with hearing protection to avoid overstimulation. Your fanbase is extremely positive and excepting. The whole experience was cathartic and wholesome.
Hey guys, you Rock . I'm a 14 year old metalhead from India who plays guitar and sings , and it has always been my dream to get together a band , and play at Wacken. It is ' the ' place . I love what you guys are doing. You give people like me hope everyday , because if you guys can make a successful and awesome metal band in India and play at Wacken, why can't I? You guys are an inspiration, please keep doing what you are doing. Cheers from India!
I'm from Japan. Thanks for this great documentary. I've become to know Bloodywood only since months ago, but I'm conscious how you are awesome!! Both your whole songs and what you guys accomplished hit my heart a lot... It's been such a terrible time now, but after this, I'd like you to do Asia tour and come to Japan! With all my love.
This band of positive male brothers are MUCH more than just great entertainment , they are spearheading a powerful spiritual shift on the Planet and UNIVERSE ....these men are REAL Kings amongst other Kings and Queens now stepping forward , RESPECT
Hey. Brothers, a couple years ago I first saw you guys, I was laughing at first. I saw this dude on a horse screaming metal style, I was like.. wtf??...but it only took a couple minutes until I thought, damn. These guys are lit. The music is off the chain. Something new that will shape the future of metal. Only two bands I feel are shaping the future of metal and making a global sound...and Bloodywood is one of them. I was blown away with this doc,...from such humble beginnings to such heights...yet still humble. Not only are all of you guys instantly likeable, but the music is the best out there. I love it. I'm a fan. So you know who your fans are, I'm a 40 something from Texas, USA with grandchildren. Your music is out if this world. There is no group or ethnicity or age. Your music is global. Universal. Much love and best of luck to you all. I hope to hear your music for years to come. Peace, brothers.
Jee Veerey helped me get through USAF tech school and being separated from me wife for nearly 6 months straight. Bloodywood will always have my respect and my attention.
I hate I'm just now seeing this. You guys are true inspirations. You have a backing in West. Would be a dream come true to meet you guys and see you live. Hope to have at least one of those two things happen soon. Stay Safe
Namaskar from Texas USA! Y’all rule! 🤘 India is my favorite Country in the World. If the pandemic is ok by January, I will be in India for the KUMBH MELA in Haridwar. Staying a couple months traveling. I wish you guys well. Awesome jams. I’m a lifelong metalhead. Your music is amazing. 🙏🕉😷
Dude....cool bro...you said namaskar. Most Indians don't say namaskar, they say namastey. Only Bengali people in India say Namaskar. Glad you know the greeting in my mother tongue. Rock on man😁
I wish I could do something like that one day ☺️☺️ maybe infront of few hundred or thousands if lucky... I love your stories... It's people like you that makes India more wonderful 👍😊😊 Much love from Nagaland, India.
Germany. On the day of your Wacken-show my people told me to watch your show in any case. I missed it, because I thought "Bloodywood" would be one of those bands who sing about dragons, mid-age in Europe, swords and so on. So I stayed with the beer. The whole weekend everybody talked about your damn show. When I was home again and saw you for the first time on RU-vid I realized how fuckin' wrong I was. Over the years I have already seen many bands - big bands, bands that I love for many years - but you managed it to totally blow me away after a few seconds. I can't wait to see you live in the (hopefully) nearest future possible. For now I'm waiting for my shirt :-)
I think this is the first metal documentary where i have just been smiling all the way through. What awesome adventures, looks like so much fun (and hard work)!
That first chanting of "Bloodywood, Bloodywood" took me STRAIGHT back to the 26th of July 2019 at Rebellion in Manchester, England, URGH I NEED to see you guys live again
Im a little late but man ...this is so beautiful. it really moved me to tears. the moment you met your first fans in germany until you filled the whole tent stage in wacken I could nothing more than smile while I couldn't hold back my tears. this is so awsome please just keep on stying the way you are!! Kind regards from germany!
@@HardStuckValoGamer yes our nation deserve more different types of music other than party songs there are so many good bands in our country but our music industry isn't supporting them
@@HardStuckValoGamer peoples love this indian metal band from all over the world but maximum indians people even don't know about this band. hamara indian public khud ki desh ke alawa dusri desh ki cheezo ko support karte hai .. aur yahi same log jai hind bolte hai.
Just discovered these guys through the Two Rocking Grannies channel. Instan fan. Now having watched this documentary you all now have a permanent true fan. What an amazing group of guys.
Started watching this with the idea of stopping halfway through and continuing tomorrow or so when I have more time. Ended up watching the entire thing in one sitting because I just couldn't stop watching. I really wish you would have made it to Belgium but then again there will be more tours in the future and you will some day visit my country, and that day I will be there. You'll probably be getting hundreds of these messages by now, but if/when you come here - feel free to hit me up and I'll show you a few nice places and good food / beers. Keep up what you're doing, keep up the great sound, and never lose your humble, but ferocious energy. You'll be main stage material one day!
Not only is a great to see a fantastic band getting their break, but it is made even better by the fact that you all genuinely seem to be great human beings.
From Canada and that (aside from the eye-catching clever name), was the absolute best Rockumentary I've ever seen. I went from zero to 100 with this band. Absolute fan and I believe, you are and will continue to have a very real positive impact on human society. Kudos. Also, shout out to Karan for putting this together. Your flute and guitar combo makes me weep it's so damned good.
Блин , мне стыдно , что так слабо вас встретили в Краснодаре. Но я увидел вас в интернете только 1.5 года назад . Знал бы что будет концерт, плюнул бы на все и приехал из Сибири. Так обидно . Вы крутые . Спасибо за ваше творчество . Да пребудет с вами вдохновение . 👋👋👋🤘🤘🤘
Started off as a fan from India from your early days and still a fan spreading your music in the United Arab Emirates. Great to see Bloodywood reach where it has now.
Y'ALL GO LOOK UP THE BANDS WHOSE CLIPS THEY'RE USING! Rewatching this just so I can pause and check these bands out on Spotify. Bloodywood is doing a solid for some great small bands! How does Joint Family have LESS THAN 1K LISTENS ON SPOTIFY??
I'm 30 minutes in, and I've already teared up. I'm soooo freakin proud of you guys and have so much joy for this path you are taking. Can't wait for you guys to get to the states when this pandemic settles down. Florida is ready and waiting for you gentleman. Stay safe. ETA: That moment at Waken, gave me chills through my soul. This is just the beginning for you. ✊🏼🤘🏼
As a Srilankan born, Australia-raised lady who has worked as both as a Bollywood dance teacher in Australia as well as a heavy metal concert promoter in a small town in Queensland, Australia....I never in a million years thought that both my passions in two completely different areas (Bollywood and heavy metal) would ever combine...but it has combined with you guys, Bloodywood!!!
I think it is safe to say that more so than pretty much any other band I can think of, you came from nothing and have become HUGE! And the reason for your success is two fold. Firstly, you have used knowledge, skill, and devotion to gain some AMAZING and die hard fans. Secondly, you NEVER gave up... No matter what was thrown your way you attacked it head on and overcame it, as every obstacle became no more than a stepping stone on your path to greatness. I have pretty much followed you guys from your days of doing covers, to creating your own music which is so different from anything else out there and there is NOTHING else even remotely close. It comprises SO many different elements and yet it just works... seamlessly. Rare is music that has that many different competing elements that works so well together. I truly admire your passion for the project and what you put into it to get where you are now. But most of all, your humbleness and love for your fans is what stands out the most... So many bands lose touch with their fans once they get "big." Not you guys... from what I can tell, you only get closer with your fans the bigger you get. It is now 2022 and has been some time since this was filmed and pretty soon you guys will be on your US leg of your new tour. I do know that there are only a handful of shows happening in the States, and luckily for me there is one close enough for me to get to. I'll see you guys in September in Baltimore, and am REALLY looking forward to it. It's actually the farthest I've ever had to go for any concert... but I AM NOT missing this one. It's been a long time coming and I simply can't wait to see you guys live and up close.
Tip for Bloodywood from the Netherlands, when in Europe don't get a cab. It's litterally cheaper to rent a car for a whole day. Or if you are close, call your fans, by now you know you have plenty xD.
I found you 2 years ago, when I'm at my lowest point and I can say that song that I found (Jee Veerey) saved my life. Thank you for making this amazing music. I always recommend your songs to my friends and they also said that your songs are beautiful and made them cry (me too). Also, this documentary is so amazing and inspiring! I wish I can see more of you in thr future~ Much love from Indonesia
These guys are tearing down walls the serve to divide. I love their mentality, their ideas and the humanity they bring. I can't wait to hear the new one.
IM sitting here with tears in my eyes during the Jee Veerey segment and I gotta admit, and I know yall won't see this, but Endurant has gotten me through some of the lowest moments of my life and I want to thank yall.
This is so inspiring, I pushed myself despite downward feelings to travel alone to London just to see bloodywood and it was a push that didn't disappoint, for the 1st time in years I felt alive watching you guys play, your music ran through me and helped me fight. Thank you Bloodywood for being a moving force of inspiration, I love you guys
Bloodywood taking their stage and sharing with other Indian Bands through their documentary and spreading positivity is something to behold. Their story is humbling and reminds to stay rooted and keep slogging. It’s all part of the bigger plan. Can’t wait to see them Live!! Keep growing guys keep rocking!!
I know every band has a 'rags to riches' documentary. And they're all pretty much the same stereotypical story. But this one seemed a little different. I felt genuinely emotional for Bloodywood. Their fame is SO well deserved. I think they really did face unique challenges, being a metal band from India. I know the metal scene in India is tiny. I think it made them humble. When humble people make it big, it tugs on the heart strings. I know that one day they'll be HUGE. They're already larger than life. I legit thought they already had an album out, and had already played loads of gigs. I was so surprised when I found that Rakshak, which I have pre-ordered, is going to be their FIRST album! They're professional beyond their experience.
Karan, Raoul, and Jayant, you guys are absolute gems, gems that we Indian metalheads treasure over all other musicians. Your music means a lot to me, and to countless other people who desperately look forward to your tracks. Your music holds a very special place in all of our hearts. I hope you guys are able to take that filthy image of metal out of indian minds, who treat metal like something satanic. love you guys, and a small request, never stop making music, because you have countless heads looking up, waiting for something new with every track you release.
God this made me so happy. What a documentary! It is such a blessing so hear this insane story from your perspective! I'm the "you made this the best day of my life" girl with the leg injury from DONG OA haha! (plans of getting your lyrics tattooed over the burn scar are in pursuit) I'm looking forward to following your journey for years to come and spread the spirit of BLOODYWOOD! You really are such genuine people with a mission in this world, and I just cannot think of anyone who would deserve success and recognition more than you guys. Until we meet again ❤🔥
This is the first year i've not been to a summer metal festival in about 18 years, I cannot say how much i've missed it. And this documentary reminded me why
First exposure to bloodywood was a random vid suggestion... and it looked wild best decision to take a chance and watch it .. made a youtube file and clicked subscribed... and been blessed with all the songs and always help in every mood. I fight.... every day.
