I started following you after your Nightwish reactions - never thought you'd react to something from my country (from my city). Pleasantly surprised! NOW, I'm gonna watch the video. 😝 Edit: I watched the video. I agree about the hip hop stuff - I don't think it's their strongest point. I often forward those bits. I think the blend of traditional Indian (Punjabi) sounds and traditional metal sounds is enough to give them something "unique". They shine in those parts and sound bloody (😉) awesome. If you want to check out more songs by them, I recommend Ari Ari. Cool if you don't. ✌🏾
got to be honest, that part near the end where it got quiet and some kind of traditional song was playing, the old guy with the instrument, the little goat, the women and girls looking at the camera, it was a beautiful moment and i got teary. It was a really fresh contrast to the aggressive message, almost like: here is a reminder of the victims we are standing up for. Really liked it.
They started off doing hard-core spoofs of Bollywood songs (which are mostly awful and treacle-y), and some of their satirical videos went viral, so they decided to get more serious. If you want to do another by them, this is their biggest youtube clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i4FqGPRQWFM.html. If you want to continue the World Tour, a great one is Alien Weaponry "Kai Tangata": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5kwIkF6LFDc.html
Got introduced to them by their hilarious cover of Tunak Tunak Tun, really the only Indian metal band I know. They're one of the bands I show people if they ask me to recommend something they've never heard before. I think you mentioned already you'd get around to it, but I'll follow the others recommending Alien Weaponry - "Kai Tangata" as another international band that does something cool with cultural music.
I stumbled upon Bloodywood in their beast of a track Ari Ari. Absolute must listen. I've lost count the number of times I've listened to it and watched it. Love your reactions to BabyMetal as well, thank you for all the work you do.
Bloody HELL, what a conundrum....do I finish watching the Chase Carneson video I'm currently watching and THEN watch this one, or pause the one I'm watching to watch the new one? Decisions, decisions...
I feel these guys are the spiritual successors to bands like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down. Nu-metal with a message. Check out Gaddar (against corrupt politicians), BDSK (against sensationalist media) and Dana Dan (against the incipient rape culture that sadly exists in that part of the world). They've got songs about depression and mental health, and one of their first to hit the West, Ari Ari Ari, is just about tolerance in general. Fantastic band.
Ari Ari by Bloody wood is their best song to date. Also I wanna push Myrath (like the guy below) - blazing Tunisian metal, amazing musicians and amazing guys. You would like them a lot!
This has been a journey. Started off following you due to your really well thought out insights into Nightwish. Then got a laugh when you first saw Babymetal and started to fall in love with that band. Learnt some new bands from you, and now find you checking out a band from my country. I completely agree with you with regards to the Hip hop parts. Sometimes wonder if they're really influenced by Linkin Park, as the song structure seems similar in certain aspects too. Either way, really cool to see you give them a try :) Would also love it if you delved into Ayreon - The day the world breaks down. Dutch composer, who brings in various artists to perform concept albums, Prog style. The day the world breaks down is in essence the first song of the entire storyline (a prequel structure), with the album consisting of 11 well known singers. Good day right back at you!
Quote: "Sometimes wonder if they're really influenced by Linkin Park" Well at least Raoul Kerr ackowledges that perfectly in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z0nZg0Pj2ik.html
I see what your saying at the same time it did enable Raoul to just go full "populist" on his lyrics which is kinda interesting and adds a lot of power
Bloodywood are AWESOME for so many reasons and not all of them are purely about music! Make sure though that you actually DO watch the videos to the end with this band because they often include important messages and/or funny outtakes of their video shoots there. It will tell you A LOT about what this band and the people in it are all about and it's just simply amazing!
Started following you because of the great insights and appreciation you have for Nightwish, found Bloodywood myself a while back, along with the HU, and I love watching you breakdown musically whats going on. Im gonna keep reccomending Liliac for you, because of their age and abilities you'll enjoy them. they've got some great covers, and some really awesome original content as well. keep up the good work man.
I'm so happy you reacted to this! I think it's great that you read the recommendations and check that stuff out, because often it's really good! I have found new bands I like or new appreciation for bands from watching your videos. On the Hip Hop part I also agree completely. But I'm not a big Hip Hop fan, so it's not a surprise :D But the rest is so great, that's why I like Bloodywood and was so happy to see them on their first tour out of India Thanks for your great reactions!! It's also so nice to see you have fun with the music
YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THANKS, Chase!!!! They're FREAKING awesome.... But I would like you to check them in other songs.... ARI ARI (the first original song they've released) and Jee Veerey (it's such a beautiful song with a beautiful message).... They're really a gulp of fresh air in the metal scene, along with other "ethnical" (if we can call it that) metal. They used to do only parodies of pop songs with a "indian twist"... And then they started to do original songs. Last year, they released ARI ARI and in the same year they went to WACKEN OPEN AIR. These guys NEED to be know worldwide. In the same "ethnical brand".... There's THE HU (you've already seen them), Alien Weaponry and if you want to try some REALLY heavy stuff, try Wardruna, Arkona (Masha my love
The message in every track of bloodywood is different, but the message every single time is what the world needs right now. And Wardruna are spectacular in creating atmoshphere.
As far as tracks that really bring the feel of Bloodywood, I'd suggest Jee Verey, or Endurant. I absolutely love this band because even though the rap isn't always peak gold, the message is. Songs about overcoming depression, and dealing with bullying is extremely important, and the songs are brought to a new level when it's about something truly important
never figured out the metal guy's name, but the rapper is Raoul Kerr. and i love this other song they all did called "Ari Ari". one line gives a somewhat powerful message. "you know it's bad when you gotta fight for peace, but the cure always needs a bit of the disease."
Raoul, the rapper, is still relatively new to Bloodywood. He was a rapper beforehand and did a feature on Bloodywood's "Ari Ari". Then he featured on another track or two and they wanted him in the band. They haven't put out an album or even an EP together, though, so I figure a lot of that is just that they're still somewhat new together in terms of raw quantity of tracks produced. I figure they'll get better together in-time.
This reminds me of their live performance at Wacken 2019: Ari Ari ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fvu3uPNiWNk.html where you can see how they do live. It was an energetic crowd of several thousand people, surprisingly good sound considering they had only about 10-15 min of switchover time, really enjoyable gig. Plus, this song was announced on stage with the message "Diversity is a gift", which makes it even more relevant these days.
Chase, for a male singer like of whom you've never seen try Leprous: Alleviate. They're melodic, personal, and progressive and we'd get a such a kick of you reacting to them.
Subscribed with your Nightwish reaction, just found another group I like because of it today. 🤘 I enjoy your insights and I have enjoy the reviews people are asking for as far as new music to me.
Amazing band, nice reaction, thank you! I highly recommend to react to Bloodywoods Jee Veerey, Ari ari, Endurant. And listen to the messages after videos. Greetings from Denmark!
Love your reactions, especially when it's a band I don't know yet, so I get to see some new stuff as well. Personally I'd recommend Doll$Boxx with the song 'Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo Shitterunda' or Epica - Sancta Terra (there is also a version with Floor Jansen, which is just epic!)!
Thumbs up analysis. Rapper does the lyrics I think; adds an element of listening to lyrics juxtaposed with the singer, but great skill in all areas and polished.
Bloodywood is bloody good. Their songs Jee Veerey and Ari Ari are really good, too

If you like bands that add regional / cultural influences to metal, you could react to brazilian band Arandu Arakuaa. Their lyrics are sang in indigenous languages and they use some tradicional / regional instruments as well. I suggest the song Aruanãs
The Hip Hop guy is a later addition to their group. They did a collaboration/feature first. The silence/quiet parts kind of worked, it's a great tool in the toolbox when used properly. that one caught you off guard 7:01 :-) 7:40 that clearly worked a lot better. I agree Ari Ari is a good next choice from these guys, but they also have Yaad are more quiet song. Going to be interesting when you get around to Babymetal iine, Shanti Shanti Shanti and BxMxC :-)
Love the uniquenes, great talent and vision. Preference wise... 🤷♂️ maybe some more convincing. Skyharbor are one of my favorite Indian bands, they just prefer to have an english vocalist. Be cool if some other commenters suggest them, but you know what I'm waiting for rn 😉
And I'm singing Mariaaaaaaa lol Have you seen that Sleep Tokens up to something? Been teasing for a few days now. Maybe deluxe edition of Sundowning, either a couple new tracks, or remixes, who knows! Exciting times!
I'm torn on these guys. This is only the second song I've heard by them, but I got the same impression both times. The metal is fantastic, the hiphop is sub-par. I wonder if it would sound better if he wasn't speaking English?
Great channel! You really should react to Yaad or Jee Veerey to really what makes this band special in my opinion ! Of course the folk aspect can be caught from any of their songs, but there's more to it. Machi Bhasad, Ari Ari, Gaddaar, Aaj, are all nice powerful songs but if you give a shot to one of the two tracks I mentioned, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean :).
Thank you! Love from India! Bloodywood: Endurant (Bullying, my favourite), Jee Veerey (Depression), Yaad (Loss of a loved one) Please watch the videos until the end. Keep rocking! 🤘
Dude you need react to one song this call Demolisher The band is slaughter to prevail, I love you reactions dude you see any details I love that, i from Chile and I see you all videos dude 🤟🤟🤟 please I want to see that reaction
The rapping is more spoken... no? It reminds me of an older style, maybe a more unpolished and street style? I'm not a rap fan so this is just an impression. I love the growling vocalist, great voice. I thought the slower breakdown part was using imagery to share the human experience from their part of the world. Kind of enhances the song's lyrical storytelling. The "Desi" experience? Love the image of the newborn lamb. Excellent instrumentation, great song.
just realised i havent commented on this yet XD i have to say this is one of the most amazing refrains i ever heard. Also it has a strong indian vibe - which is fantastic cause msot metal bands are so "generic" metal they dont dare to give their personal flavor to the music. these guys do and its amazing
I have, since I discovered your channel, loved every video and analysis (and frankly have commented on your videos more than any other channel ever on RU-vid). This is the first one where I've actually felt *vindicated* by what you said! The rapper wasn't part of the original group, and I wasn't a fan of his addition. Hearing your review makes me feel that maybe it wasn't just me, after all!
Yeah look I think a lot of it it down to taste, but technically, from a hip hop point of view, I didn't find that one element very strong. Overall I loved the song and the group.
I literally just discovered this band yesterday and been obsessed and then I see you react to it! Made my day! Please check out, Falling in Reverse - Popular Monster.
Bloodywood is a great band, glad you're enjoying them. As far as I remember the rapper featured in one track originally and then just meshed so well with the other two members that they decided to stick together. If you're interesting in checking out more metal with folk influences, I have a lot to recommend, but a good point to start would be Eluveitie. A swiss band singing about celtic history and mythology. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Gaelic. There's a lot of good songs to cover, so here's just one music video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkbadvaMuXo.html
When you said that the hip hop wasn't up to par, were you referring to the English or Indian hip hop? Yes, I like the incorporation of Indian sounds and rhythms into their songs.
Hearing you talk about Rap/Hip-Hop mixed with metal, you should check out a band called Hacktivist. They are a group from the UK that mix those genres. I recommend either "Dogs of War" or "Reprogram"
Please do a reaction to The Warning survive from 3 years ago. The Warning is 3 sisters at the time that they did the video I want you to do they're 17 15 and 12. Their 2nd album is a conceptual album.
They don't need the rapper at all. I feel that if you want to have a rapper in your metal band, he needs to be the most talented guy in the group. Not a complimentary player, which this guy even falls short of. Now some rap and metal I can get behind would be DVSR - Unconscious: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-olejFEcWZQc.html
TheZyzyzyzyzy off time simple rhymes with cliche statements are not good. The only thing he’s got going is his voice and aggression. Those work well with this group.
@@maximilianschultz8244 Ok. This song is not his best. Actually for me this is the weakest song from Bloodywood. I don't know why people chose to react to this song and not to their Jee Veeray or other songs which are much better. Nevertheless I like this song too. Not all songs are top hits. I like this one for the kick ass efect it has.
I can understand your criticism of the rap parts as a fellow hip-hop fan, but if you look at Raouls solo stuff you'll see that he emphasizes message over complex flows, which in part is excused by his voice. I also belief that his lack of being a native speaker limits his variety in vocabulary, but at the same time to an international audience, that is also largely not native english speaking, this just makes the message of the lyrics shine even more.
Oh, Chase... for once, I disagree with you. Strongly, actually. I never thought this day would come. I'm struggling to see how the rap sections are misplaced or off the mark. Perhaps it surprised you, or caught you off guard, but I was dismayed by how quickly you dismissed the rap portion. Raoul's lyrics and flow have become integral to Bloodywood's sound and message. You actually cut it off too early. They made the announcement just then that Raoul was officially made a member of the band. Before that, there was no rap. What he brought to the group was important enough for the other boys to completely change their musical style and structure to include Raoul. I like to describe them as sort of like Linkin Park or Rage Against the Machine, but with more curry. 🤘 LOL If you ever choose to try them again, try one of these links... Ari, Ari - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i4FqGPRQWFM.html Jee Veery - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6uJoN_I9ebQ.html Endurant - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XfjTbY2NzsM.html
It's healthy to disagree and discuss. Definitely going to dig deeper and listen to more. Hey look, I'm a big hip hop fan, but if I'm honest the lyrics, while powerful, we're not well delivered. I felt like it was the weakest part of the song. That being said I am completely on board to hear more and have my mind changed. Again this is simply my opinion and I've been very wrong before haha. I appreciate you saying this. And as always I appreciate the support.
@@ChaseCarneson Hm. Well, we agree to disagree on this one, then. Jayant from Bloodywood often stops by reaction channels, so don't be surprised if you see a message from him or someone in the band. Jayant is the growler/singer. Oh, and if you do watch one of their videos, always, ALWAYS watch to the end. Sometimes they post little bloopers, etc. More importantly, though, these guys are absolutely dedicated to positive social movements, and they put their money where their mouth is. So, some of the videos have some important social messages at the end. You'll see what I mean. 🤘
AFAIK they are virtually unheard of in India but exploded overseas with they videos. I believe most of it is self-shot, theres a very low budget. With many of the videos they explain about the video and its meaning afterwards too. As for the hiphop parts, i think those are fairly new. He was originally a guest performer on one of their tracks (Ari Ari iirc) and then kinda grew into the band, this was the weakest i've seen that element in my personal opinion
I swear watching your stuff I encounter bands I thought I'd never hear, pretty good sound from them! If you want to check out another band that somewhat combines rap and metal, Backwordz has a really sick sound. Rather politicially charged, but even without their message a solid band overall, here's a song! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iq8_2bjJqbo.html
LOVE the music. LOVE the chorus and the guy singing it. Don't care for the guy rapping. I found his lyrics SUPER cookie cutter.... Didn't ruin it for me tho...
