@@bottomofastairwell F*ck no, it's not okay. Humanity truly makes me wonder sometimes. The thought that anyone (a whole generational culture, in the case of this song) can think this sort of behaviour is in any way acceptable just seems...alien, I guess...to me. Like, beyond all common sense and logic, morality aside. Same with bigotry. We might not look it, but we're all the same species, right? I just can't wrap my brain around it. It's like trying to visualise infinity, or 5 dimensions. You just can't.💙

@CiardisInferno99 2 года назад

Kali is a destruction deity but she's also about protecting the innocent. So her image in this video is appropriate.

@Sabretoothsquirrel 2 года назад

What makes this song great and make me respect the band so much is that they don't just say 'beat the shit out of every rapist and abuser, period.' The lyrics opens up the possibilities for a non-violent solution. Lines like "one day I might change his kind with my mind", "if words won't change them they can taste my boot", and "if you stray, come back and run with the pack" suggests that they are willing to accept attempts at changes for the better. But it's a one time chance, and if you miss it or are unwilling to change, there's a beatdown coming your way. Then there's just cathartic violence!

@jchelseaw8418 10 месяцев назад

My aunt was mentally disabled and institutionalized and got pregnant. Sooo.... you can see why I am very grateful to see another man who feels the same as I do. I've been lucky, men in my life have all been great, but I understand this anger about violence against women. She passed away and her child was adopted by her brother, but the fact there are people who commit rape and other violence against women who can't defend themselves makes me love this song so much. Because 'not all men but we need all men' is a real thing to say when we live in a male-dominated world where women who are hurt aren't believed but men who know their peers did something bad and THEY should hold them accountable. As I said, I have great men in my family and I hope they would all hold other bad men accountable for hurting others.

@paxonite-7bd5 2 года назад

The folk drums are called nagara and the trumpet is called nadaswaram. These two instruments are used more in a southern india especially in temples of The goddess kali who is the goddess of death, master of war, justice and harmony. She is represented by the lead dancers in blue. Kali in modern is used has a symbol of empowerment to fight against sexual assault. About the nagaras they come in all sizes and happy to see that it is finally getting used in metal music because there are certain nagara drums sound really heavy that they give you goosebumps. Both the folk instruments are used for worships and marriages. It's especially used during festive season where goddess kali's statue is placed in a chariot and is taken around the city for blessing. So these instruments are played to signal the arrival of the goddess who will bring auspiciousness and change which you can see in there lyrics too.

@jeroens9160 2 года назад

@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters 2 года назад

Little note: that angry blue lady in the MV? That's a representation of Kali, the Goddess. I'm sure someone else can give a better explanation than I can (since I'm neither Hindu nor Indian), but some of Her common attributes include "Destroyer of evil", "Mother of all" and "Divine manifestation of wrath". Also one time Her dance almost ended the universe. You can see why the band decided to invoke Her image here. There's actually a channel that covers myths and history very well (OSP) and they have a short 4+ min video about one version of Her origin myth (the drawings are just a plus): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CbBv5--tMvQ.html

@isaiahwelch8066 2 года назад

I'm just gonna put it out there: Jayant is the only growler/screamer that I've ever heard that brings as much raw, unadulterated emotion as he does to the mic. I'm not joking when I say this. The first song I ever heard was Jee Veerey, and something about Jayant's voice is...motivating, to say the least. Then I heard Endurant, and his voice there was like a stone wall -- not budging an inch. And all in the context of being bullied. Then I heard the clean vocals he had in Yaad. And it is as though that while he's singing, he's right there with you if you're grieving over the loss of a furry or non-furry family member. Then you hear Machi Bhasad, Ghaddar, Aaj, and Dana Dan. And in every one of these songs, Jayant has this amazing talent to vocalize the emotions tied to the song. Here, for Dana Dan, I've never heard ANY metal screamer or growler with as much pent-up, unadulterated rage and anger as Jayant has. And the thing is, watching the "Raj Against The Machine" documentary, Jayant actually seems like a really chill and overall good dude. But just like this song shows, there are parts of us that are animals that we keep caged -- because if we let those animals out, then who knows how much damage or destruction that may cause around us. And thing is, for me, these guys don't know it, but it isn't just a 'playlist' thing -- these guys are mentors of a sort, with a mindset that I believe more people should look into and apply in their own life, because I can't count the number of times that just listening to their songs, it convinces me to keep fighting, even when I don't want to. They keep pushing me, even when I want to stay comfortable. It's probably the most valuable thing they do in this world, to make people strong by making us uncomfortable. And though we might think we don't need it, obviously we do, if we keep coming back to it. And as a side note, both the Snake Charmer, Arty (who sang in Aaj) and the dancers here are all very beautiful women. They've definitely got their respective talents.

@JMurdochNZ 2 года назад

My thought process listening to this song was something like ok good introduction, love the beat and riff... "I put a fist through the face of rapist" ...10/10 song of the year. A big chunk of super aggressive music just doesn't ring true to me. Like the aggression is more an act. When these guys sound angry and pissed off, i believe it 100%.

@MrPanda-sw4lf 2 года назад

These guys are like the manifestation of rage

@rlGinjaNinja 2 года назад

I think in some ways you're right about it being an act for a lot of bands, but I'd like to offer up the possibility that that doesn't inherently make it not real or inauthentic. Not always, that is. I think some bands kind of... Force, for lack of a better word, the aggression, as an outlet for their own emotions. Not saying you're wrong, just suggesting an alternative for *some* cases. :)

@justingarneau 2 года назад

Culturally, the rhythms of India are tribal, energetic, groovy as hell. One day I was attending a seminar with master sitarist Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan, it was 7am and he was shredding the sitar, it was amazing. But as a metalhead, I recognize the scale he improvised with(harmonic minor scale). I said to him, "you transpose that on an electric guitar and it's a metal guitar solo you know." My god, I offended him I think, but I understand why too. All that to say, that the intensity found in the music of India, the musical creschendo of the ragas(classical form of impro with specific motion of notes), is as intense as metal. Bloodywood is a perfect mix of both worlds.

@deckardcain9672 2 года назад

Interesting. Would love to know what you think about Motherjane. Which is carnatic classical (different from Ustad's Hindustani classical) relayed into rock/metal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3y2siWVi-GQ.html&ab_channel=Motherjane

@riichobamin7612 Год назад

@@SLYKM one of the lines, "baje gi joot" (or something like that) closely sounds like "baje gi choot" which will, literally, translate to "ring the pussy/vagina". The closest English translation will be "I am gonna beat that pussy up". This is due to the fact that to ring a bell, you need to hit it, and many Indian bells need to be hit hard 😂. Hence why the word for "to ring", i.e. "baje", has been used. Now there are layers to this. First, saying that the rapist is a coward, i.e. a pussy. Second, the word for "pussy", i.e. choot, sounds a lot like "boot" hence the line "let them taste my boot" is a clever word play that you can enjoy if you know both Hindi and English and can be a good translation as one of the preceding lines which as "lato ke bhoot" (which refers to people who need to be beaten up to make them understand things) also matches with "choot" and "boot".

The biggest problem IMO would be that the physical release sold out so fast. So far I only see the regular CD still as Pre-Order and only on the us store. On Global the CD and Vinyl are still sold out. I might be in the minority but I still like to buy physical releases. Luckily I got mine before they sold out on Global.

I had a similar reaction you did. That line "Raise a fist for the nameless faces he disgraces" took my breath away. This album is outstanding. To hear it, you would think they are twenty year hardened veterans of metal, not an independent band recording their first album on their own. Amazing. There aren't a lot of bands left that I'm like "I need to see them live," but this band? Holy crap, do I need to see this band live. I'm hoping they come to America sometime, maybe next year. I'm guessing they'd be a supporting act. If a bigger band does bring them on as a guest, they better watch out, because they'll probably get blown off the stage by these guys.

Saw Bloodywood on Oct 6 in Denver. Fucking amazing. The venue only held 450, and it was packed. Circle pit, singer and one drummer in the middle of the pit. A lot of positivity from the band. Politicial yes... but not in the way that the US is used to hearing. The singer spoke of SA/DM, that it needs to be erased from the planet. He also spoke about the issue of mental illness, that if you need to be treated, there should be no stigma in seeking it. I'm older, 61, and have been going to shows since 1975. In all of those decades, there are a few bands that have recently left a very strong impression, and Bloodywood is definitely in my top 15, of over 40 years of live music.

I just discovered them a couple weeks ago. As a drummer of 24 years, the speed and precision which their drummer hammers out in detail is mixed with many pauses and breaks on off notes where he ends on a technical fill, with constant tempo and style changes, and precision transitioning, is impressive. The whole band are phenomenal musicians and songwriters. I love that they keep Indian culture and traditional instruments in their songs. So boggled at the speed that he screams at. I can’t even read the CC that fast! The content is serious and important to speak up for. It’s very empowering for victims to watch someone speak up for them and giving them a voice. That’s just selfless heroic stuff right there. You don’t find much metal with such depth and clarity, and also it’s just a song you can’t help but headbang to.

I always watch the original before the reactions, love them! I also just recently watched the Back Lounge podcast with Karan..the point when he so humbly asked what advice u could give to the band at this moment..Bud, my heart leapt into my throat! But what u replied man, pure fucking gold.. :) I haven't felt this kind of intensity and passion about music or a band in a very long time, so glad you're on board with them :)

Loved you using Inis Mona in the intro - that song (and its album, Slania) ran on repeat A LOT around 2009/10 for me. :D

Ive seen a lot of reactions because I just like to see other people enjoy this Band and song that I enjoy. And I am surprised at how little the theme of this song is even mentioned. It's in a trigger warning and many have found the lyrics in captions, and still, almost no one even acknowledges it. Its weird, it certainly made it impossible to just enjoy the song as a great banger the first time and most reactions haven't felt honest because of that. I guess most don't want heavy topics in a fun reaction video, I get that and that's fine. But thank you for being genuine.

Jayant has to be a big Slipknot fan. Very Corey Taylor-eque scream/rap vocal style and he's starting to look more and more like Mick Thompson in his stance and appearance lol

@daemondan666 7 месяцев назад

It's been so surreal watching this band grow from just the guitarist and vocalist doing covers of meme songs all the way to this. I love these guys so much and I can't wait to see where else they go from here

The content of this song probably hits home even harder now that you have a daughter. 🤘😊

It still would have hit me the same, I think, but it's definitely something I think about a lot raising a daughter in this world.

@@TankTheTech this world in its current state is just a giant pile of shit. i have three girls myself and i want to protect them. But harder done then said.... Esspecialy when you have a lot of persons in your country that View and treat women like objects. I think you know which kind of ppl, beliver in a specific religion, i mean.

@chandannagaraja Год назад

@@godfatherofbloedniss to the best of my knowledge and understanding almost all religions of the world have elements of violence, hate, male chauvinism, female /minority oppression in language and substance. So when you're speaking of "a" particular religion, whichever it may be I hope you do understand you're attributing to it your own one sided judgment borne out of your own upbringing, socialisation, world view, values et al.

@godfatherofbloedniss Год назад

@@chandannagaraja yes of course everyone culture has such things, but some show them more then others. in germany we have a very big problems with said group behaving like shit. yes i know germany is a big joke to the world, not just since the world championship, our govermant try as hard as they can to destroy our country, but the avaerage ppl here are nice one and just wat to live thier lives. it is hard when you are afraid of leaving your home in the evening, becpouse of groups of young said ppl may harrase you.

@chandannagaraja Год назад

@@godfatherofbloedniss I don't intend to diminish your experiences and valid fears. My limited point was to state that those experiences do not hold true for all of the people from that religion. I've met gems of humans across all religions and absolute filth as well transcending the religious barriers again. I hope you and your people and those creating unrest, too, all find peace ✌️

@DanielBrinkmann1996 2 года назад

Not gonna lie - I cried watching this video. Like you, a lot of people in my close circle have experiences (sexual) assault in their lives, often times multiple times. If this song had any other lyrics I probably would have said "Well.. a bit too "much" for me" but with those lyrics.. I feel the hate, I feel the anger in those words, and I "enjoyed" the song a lot. Your commentary and your own reactions made it so much better, yet. Thanks for being one of the best RU-vidrs out there, man. Your content is always amazing, haven't missed a single video yet. Stay safe and healthy, please!

@TankTheTech 2 года назад

Thanks a ton for the compliments, and I agree with you about the feeling with this band. One of the things I love most is you can FEEL their emotion in all of their songs, and it's really a special thing.

@GiorgioSacchi1982 2 года назад

Ian, the amount of passion and attention you put towards big and small things, such as the "framed" lyrics or pointing out they being self released really speak volumes about you, on top of your proficiency. Big big kudos! And yeah, they SMASH! I love them soooo much!!!

I absolutely love the pausing to break things down. The reaction of dissecting piece by piece is, in my honest opinion, the best way. Bloodywood has been my favorite bands that have came out in recent years. I can't wait to see them State side!!!

@TheTH3SS 2 года назад

These guys have never dissapointed me. With every song they brought out I've been on it like a kid waking up on Christmas day. I can't wait for the next lot they bring out.

@mayk6932 2 года назад

This hits like a punch and I totally agree with your general thoughts on the meaning, the song, and their messages in the latest songs. One thing I noticed hearing the song again in your reactions are the syncopated "hu"s that come in toward the end, which remind me of The Hu's Wolf Totem. In both songs I think they give that feeling of everyone coming together to fight against something.

@Doomtramper1 2 года назад

The album is fantastic! Greatings from Berlin and expect my 3 recomendations more often now. I haven't been able to write them here, because I'm writing my exams now and have a sh*t load to do, and as I'm a historian, there are some things in the world happening right now where I have to keep an eye on. Love your channel and your community peace out.

@yhaustein38 2 года назад

Had the album pre-ordered as the CD version (I like to fill up shelves with CDs for some reason lol) and did not regret it for a second. What these guys put out all by themselves is nothing short of amazing. Such a nice breath of fresh air!

@Kekoapono 2 года назад

Wow, what a _GREAT_ song! Thank you for recording this! I also find it interesting that my head bopping/banging was a little different from yours. Almost the entire time I headbanged in a half note (halftime) feel as opposed to you mostly headbanging the quarter notes. I'm pretty sure that as I continue to replay this song I'll often switch between feeling the song in 2 and feeling the song in 4. The song is written _so_ well that it makes listening to the song with both of those beat feelings very easy.

@RyanLoper9 3 месяца назад

First, absolutely LOVE what I’ve heard from Bloodywood! (just discovered now) Second, I’m nowhere near into musician’s gear, but I could listen to Tank talk about it all day long. Hope these guys come back to the US!

@forsakethelight 2 года назад

I think this will definitely be one of the best albums of the year. I love how they mix the instruments of their culture in the music. It sounds really cool. I love the girl's voice towards the of of the song, it was beautiful over the heavy sound. I also love the lyrics of their songs and how they aren't afraid to say these things that should be said even though some of it can get them in trouble in their home country. I absolutely adore musicians who use the platform to stand up for what is right. All around this is an amazing band!

@danschultz4870 2 года назад

I thought at first it was a bad thing that your frame blocked the captions but then I figured it just meant I had to go watch the original and give them a like and a view. Awsome job Tank as always.
