Their latest video “Dana Dan” is a graphic commentary on sexual assault and a call to arms to eliminate it from global society. Jee Veerey, Machi Bhasad, Yaad and Endurant are other instances of the band using their work to make an impact beyond the music and build a better world.
About Bloodywood:
BLOODYWOOD is known for pioneering a sound that seamlessly fuses Indian Folk instruments with Metal to devastating effect. Expect to hear the percussive power of the mighty Dhol, the melancholic Flute, the single stringed Tumbi and several other uncommon yet distinctively characteristic sounds from India. A combination of thunderous Hindi/Punjabi and meaningful yet unforgiving Rap verses along with the ethnic instrumentation, makes BLOODYWOOD a truly unique experience.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So I’m going to have to admit that this is a new band to my Metal mind but since I love so much of the Folk Metal coming out of the Scandinavian side of the world, why not check out what’s coming from India as well. The regional show is happening for me the week before the New York Comic Con which I am still waiting to find out if I am attending but I digress. The important thing is having the chance to catch something new while it is paying a visit to our neck of the woods. Remember my friends, the only way for Metal bands from far, far away to thrive is if we help support them when they announce a tour and have a stop in our vicinity. This NYC stop will happen at the midway point of a very brief run to let’s welcome them if you are near enough to come and the rest of you in the outer areas can do the same. Slowly but surely we are coming back to some kind of normal and with that I will take my adieu. Before I wrap this up completely I wonder what you out there in the readership think about the announcement and the band if you have already given them a chance. You can chime in down below in the comments section so we know what you are all thinking. I will see you next time, please keep safe out there.
