Pure musical and cultural beauty!🤩|Bloodywood, Aaj 

Where would you travel to right now if you could drop everything and go?

The pure joy on her face when she finds out about the flute solo...

Bloodywood is an amazing band, with some of the noblest people in it as the members. Each of their song has a purpose, just like you just experienced here in 'Aaj'. For the next Bloodywood, I highly suggest 'Yaad' and 'Dana Dan'. The messages are strong in those two songs. I really love watching this reaction, watching you being excited about this amazing band. Thanks, Nittpicc!! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

Check out their song 'Dana Dan' and remember to turn the closed captions on.

I'm quite fond of describing this band as... Linkin Park + Rage Against the Machine + curry = Bloodywood So, you're not alone in that comparison! 🤘

The flutist/guitarist is Karan, and he's essentially the reason Bloodywood exists. He also composes most of their music, if not all of it.

I just love to see people react to Bloodywood for the first time! The faces you get to see when they realize they stumbled on to somthing close to metal perfection! And with the indian influences it is just perfection. The energy these guys bring is on another level for sure! I was just as happy to watch you as you watching them! It is as if I was watching them for the first time again.. Awesome reaction NittPicc! Now dive down their catalog of awesome songs. Start with Dana Dan. Love from Sweden! 💙💛💙

I am so happy you are getting into Bloodywood now! They are wonderful humans and make some amazing music!!! Love it!

The instrument right at the beginning is called 'Santoor', which is a board consisting of strings that are plucked by little tongs/hammers.

The most amazing reaction.....I love Bloodywood! You made me both laughing & crying. It's a documentary on their RU-vid channel about how the band got together & had their first tour; you got to see it! I'm up for any Bloodywood - just really happy you liked this! Saludos 💚✌️

The woman is a good friend of the band. She has her own RU-vid channel: The Snake Charmer. Sha plays the bag pipe in India! She is doing so e cool stuff.

The flutist/guitarist is Karan. He's a genius. He also directs and produces all the music videos for the band, edits and masters it. He's also does the music edit and mastering. Bloodywood are independent band. All music production is in house and they are self published. No label.

Bloodywood not only make banger music but also gives such a deep message in their video. In this age where lot of musician go after "hookup girls cars alcohol guns" For their mvs , bloodywood is like that positivity we needed to see on screen for society. I've read lot of comments saying how their music is so much impactful for them. Truly the band of a kind. ❤bloodywood

I'm so glad you got around to Bloodywood. Their songs generally have a message. Some will make you weep, some will make you rage. Karan (flute, guitar), Jayant (harsh vocals), and Raoul (rap) are the core of Bloodywood, and do the writing. The bassist and drummer also tour with them, and they also have a dhol player. Karan writes and tracks everything save the drums. Anything off their first album "Rakshak" is worth checking out. You mentioned everything being done with love, you are absolutely right. Not only are they passionate musicians, but they are kind hearted, humble, and wonderful humans. Always ready to laugh. I saw them in Dallas, (on the "Nine Inch Naans" tour) and it was great to hear a bunch of Americans singing in Hindi. They are currently working on their second album, probably coming out early next year.

The band is from New Deli. I believe the rapper, the screamer, and the flutist/guitarist are the only permanent members of the band. They're very much into political and social commentary in their music, mostly on problems in India, but those problems exist everywhere to some degree. 'Gaddar' is about the need to keep religion and politics separate; 'Dana-Dan' is how it's the rapists and wife beaters who need to be beat up, and not their victims as is traditional in India. Another song is about mental health... another is about having to say goodbye to an old dog. Their music can be considered Nu-Metal, with Indian folk metal influences. So yeah, Linkin Park and Rage Against The Machine would be influences on them.

I love how it all comes together at the end and the layers (both vocals, the flute and the band) gel so well

Lots of flute in Bloodywood, and Karan is so good with it. It's prominent in Endurant, a song about bullying (watch out for that one, it made me cry, in a good way 🙂) and Jee Veerey (about depression, everyone cries). They write amazing songs with positive messages and powerful emotions, and are one of the best bands I've discovered in 20 years.

For more flutey bits by this band listen to 'Jee Veerey' by them.

A gorgeous reaction to the gorgeous song, thank you so much! Little to none expect broad academic studies DURING the presentation (fine to have that AFTER it), reactions are all about emotional perception… which should be bright but not abundant as well. Young lady, you’ve nailed it! What an excitement to watch someone so happy to discover and enjoy a piece we all already love for two years! And welcome to our wast and joyful world of non-American music🎉Sincere greets from Russia❤

These guys are very hardworking. Toured a lot last years. "OldSkuleNerd" did meet them in Houston over a year back. Super random guys! I believe they're an independent band. At least was it for a time Funded by donations by people all over the world. It started when "Ari ari" went viral a few years back. Lyrics is a big piece of them. This is about overcoming yourself, another is about womens rights, then there's one about corrupt politicians. Obviously these guys got a lot on their heart

Dear #NittPicc, I think I saw 99% of Aaj reactions on RU-vid, but for a very, very, VEEEERY long time, ur reaction was absolutely THE BEST!! "Aaj" is not only an ordinary song, its a damn anthem! Please do " Dana,dan" next and please don't forget to put CCs ON!!!! I wish you all the best, stay safe and greetz from Germany... Edit: just saw that you already reacted to ELUVEITIE... May I suggest another masterpiece of music, at least in my opinion!? " FAUN ft. ELUVEITIE - GWYDION", German pagan folk meets Swiss folk metal...

The way you were getting shocked with each change..... especially when the woman's vocal came up. WOW

Thank you for that Reaction! I Loved every minute of it. It was so refreshing and joyful to watch how you purely enjoyed the song. I smiled through the whole Video ❤

Me a great bloodywood fan been watching Bloodywood's reactions more then a year now and I can tell u for sure that ur reactions on bloodywood was the best so far 👍 👌 and do check out their other best song like "Dana Dan" and "Gaddar". All the best

Today the dulcimer is known as the santouri in Greece and as the santur in India.

When I saw this was what she was reacting to I knew it was going to blow her mind. Flute solo ftw! 🙂

"Flute can be cool!" Ha! Before I listened to Bloodywood I wouldn't have agreed with that. Not something you hear in metal songs and it took me by surprise when I first found myself thinking that the flute sounded amazing. What?! The flute solo is awesome? It is! Just that I never thought I'd ever say such a thing. They have quite a few songs where the flute stands out - Ari Ari and Jee Veeray spring to mind. Flute can be cool. Liked the reaction by the way. I've heard this song many times but it's great to see someone listen to it for the first time and get it like you did.

I saw Bloodywood last year out here in LA at the Echoplex. It was a fantastic concert. High energy.

Awesome!! Saw these guys in Chicago last year. Concerts are energetic like this all the way thru….2nd album coming beginning of 2025! Great reaction!

The intro Hammer instrument is most possibly called "Santoor".

Thanks for covering Bloodywood. Appreciate it from 🇮🇳

The string like pluck is.. santoor.. it is an Indian instrument... and in the transition is a bowed instrument known as Sarangi.

This band deserves so much, amazing human beings doing great music. They are recording a new album, so now is a good time to listen to their old songs before the new ones drop xD

This is one of my favorite reactions ever to one of my favorite bands of all time. So glad you enjoyed it. Try Yaad next, maybe. All their stuff is great. My other short list faves: Home Free (country acapella - try "Man of Constant Sorrow" or "End of the Road"), Tommy Johansson (Swedish singer/composer/multi-instrumentalist - try "Winner Takes It All", or "Nu Gronskar Det" if you want to see him play multiple instruments), Galneryus (Japanese symphonic power/speed metal - try "Angel of Salvation"), Unlucky Morpheus (Japanese metal - try Cadaver/Revadac), and Otyken (Siberian folk metal - try "Phenomenon").

Nice reaction. You are right about the initial sound, which is quite similar to Dulcimer, but India, there is one instrument called "Santoor," which is similar to Hammered Dulcimer but its different than Dulcimer. It's now part of Indian classical music scene.

Great reaction! Welcome to bloodwood. I would recommend "Jee Veerey". I think it's a great song about mental health.

Great reaction!! Next one from them maybe Dana dan? It's their heaviest song I think. My introduction to them was Machi Bhasad when it came out, also a great one👍 Edit: Oh yes Gadaar is also a good one to react to

They've saved so many lives, and give hope to so many lives as well.

"flute can be cool"... flute is cool

This song has very aggressive positivity

If she sees Dana Dan with subs she will get a heart attack. The message of the song is very powerfull though.

I believe the instrument in the opening is Santoor.

Every track from BLOODYWOOD comes with a message and is an inspiration. YAAD - Loss of loved one DHANA DHAN - Sexual assault ENDURANT - Fighting bullying And so on

The first Indian Instrument is called "Santooor" in Hindi. I had the same energy when I heard the song for the first time. It's an EMOTION. It's an anthem for WINNERS!! 🤘🤘

At the start of this track the instrument used is called " sitar " back date centuries ago and originated in India also the flute

Cool stuff. Different genre, but will love Ummet Ozcan X Otyken Altay

They're so good!! Next I would recommend Jee Veerey and Dana Dan (be sure to turn on CC)~ Another group I really enjoy is Project MishraM, I recommend their track Cynic Machine.

Bloodywood is amazing! al their songs are gold!

Hey NittPicc, I'm probably the only person to request this band, but if you could, PLEASE react to Solarus and their song Arrival. They are an independant Canadian symphonic operatic metal band. They are fantastic both as musicians and people. I had the pleasure of interviewing the singer Sarah and the guitarist Lucas last year and it was an incredible experience. They also love reactors and often comment on reactions thanking for the time to listen to their music 🤘🏻

The instrument you are talking about is "santoor" majorly used in iran and India.(If im not wrong)

knew youd like it ;D Dana Dan is awesome, very heavy and good lyrics otherwise maybe try gadaar, moar indian folky goodness

Isn't he playing a tin whistle? Which was mass produced in Britain first in the 19th century and sold across the world.

Probably a Santoor which is an Indian hammered dulcimer

Song so good it turned into Bill Cosby for a second at 13:30

Yours is one of the best Bloodywood reactions yet Bloodywood loves Lincoln Park and has influenced their music, , the girl singing at the end is the Snake Charmer, check out her channel, she plays the Bagpipes, and also the wife of the flute player JEE VEERY should be next the your next song it has awesome Flute in it as well

Such a great band! Such a delightful reaction! Strongly recommend you check out their track 'Jee Veerey'.

6:11 yeah , but instead of DJ we have a dhol 🤘

Yup, they are absolutely amazing, and pretty damned unique. Trying to think of some interesting global stuff you haven't done yet because you have been really on point with picks, Japanese metal, Indonesian metal, Indian metal etc. Otyken - Storm MV (Siberian, not metal) Jiluka - BLVCK MV (Japanese , yes again :) ) ATARASHII GAKKO! - OTONABLUE / THE FIRST TAKE (Japanese AGAIN, but not metal) Electric Callboy - We Got The Moves MV (German) Little Big - Rock Paper Scissors MV (Russian) Beast In Black - Blind & Frozen MV (Nordic, I think) We Butter The Bread With Butter - 20km/h (German) Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday MV (Japanese (I know leave me alone!!!!)) Poppy - X (American) NanoWar of Steel - Valhalleluja MV (Italian) Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire (That country just to the East of Korea, I forget it's name)

Easy the most fun concert i was at last year ! It was a flesh tornado with indian drums in the eye F yeah

I was wondering when you were going to get to these guys. Check out Dana Dan, next.

Subscribed to you sis..I enjoyed your energy to this song 😊 keep going Metal ❤

So many great songs from these guys and they are the salt of the earth. So compassionate. Real human beings 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Speed scream rapping is now a thing 😂😂😂 A lot of people refer to them as the Indian Linkin Park 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Linkin Park? I was thinking Rage but it makes sense. I've wondered about the flute too but all I got was just flute.

I recommend Machi Bhasad from them

One of the best reactions to this song. 😮😮😅❤❤

You need to check out the band called Myrath and their song called believer

Honest reaction 😊 Super

I may be wrong, but I think they’ve said Linkin Park was an inspiration for them. Bloodywood is one of the absolute best new bands in a long time.

Knew you would love Bloodywood 😉🤘 If you do Yaad next...have tissues ready, you'll need them.

Yep! 100% Indian LP

i love your eyebrows

Please react bloodywood dana dan

If you are nostalgic for Linkin Park then check out Dangerkids. They have a similar vibe

You should also listen to Jee Veeraa song of the same band

React on "Jee veeray By Bloodywood" I'm sure you'll like it too ❤

Next reaction on Yaad and Jee Virey please😊😊😊

plz react to their another video 'De dana dan'

The rap is too straight for Linkin park. It's a different entity, they sound good though.

Please reactiom dimas senopati 😁

You talk too much 😮

Hey NittPicc 🙂 I am glad you liked the Suggestion. I really waited for this!! I was almost sure you do because who can´t Love this song if you Love the Flute :-) This is one of the most uplifting Song i ever heard. Bloodywood has so wonderful messages in every Song. They mix Metal with Rap and traditional Indian Instruments which makes them Kind of unique. You need to check out more of them. They really make you feel. Besides they write and publish all of their songs themselves. They originally started with a RU-vid Channel where the Idea was to Cover famous Bollywood Songs. With the Song Ari Ari they really fast got a lot of Fans which highly increased when RU-vid Reaction Channels started to React to the Song. Your Comparison with Linkin Park isn´t that wrong. You are not the first who got that Vibes. Actually they made a Cover of the Linkin Park Song Heavy back in 2017. The Woman that is singing is Archy. She calls herself The Snake Charmer and Indian´s first professional female Bagpipe Player. Most of her Songs are Indian Folk Tunes mixed with Bagpipe and singin for example her Song Scotland the Brave, India the Bold. There she mixes traditional Scottish Tunes with traditional Indian tunes. She is really worth a listen ;-) Have a beautiful Day and Greetings from Germany Sven

Nittpicc...band maid, why,why,why live.👍
