Karan was one of the most humble, open, and honest artists I've ever had a conversation with, and you don't get many artists that are willing to talk in depth about some of the topics we covered.

As an Indian metalhead and Metal Vocalist, I can't express what hope Bloodywood has instilled in the Indian metal scene, there were times our metal band performed for free in front of a crowd who did not know anything about metal, now have Indians online who know what metal is.
This group just make me proud being an Indian :D
As a German citizen, I would like to apologize to Karan Katiyar. Unfortunately, there are still people in our country who haven't learned anything from our past. Racism is still a big issue in our country and it's growing. Germany is becoming more and more multicultural from year to year, and many people don't seem to be able to handle it. But what they forget is that we all share the same earth. It makes me sad that you had to experience racism in Germany. Because our country has so much beauty to offer and so many lovely people. But one experience of racism is enough and all of that is overshadowed by it.
I, as a German citicen , travelled through India 5 times and thousends of miles and this year I'll go back to India for a longer time. India gave me a new home and I never experienced any kind of rascism. I lived with muslims , hindus, jain and what you might find there. Being in any kind of trouble I ALWAYS found a helping hand just for a "thank you".
Here in Germany we have many migrants and significant part of them behave very bad. Especially people fron the islamic part of the world.
We have no go areas, arabian or turkish gangs, very violent people, and thats what the Germans see in the streets. The majority of well behaving , hard working people are not seen anywhere, so they get a wrong impression. But in Germany it's a "NO GO" to talk about this violence of migrants and the common political parties refuse any discussion about that.
They leave this urgent debate to stupid NAZI-punks. Many normal people feel like being "left alone" with the problems. Feeling helpless makes you agressive especially when you are not "so well educated". And it's about the mass media: You don't read Hassan is doing well in his job, you read : " Two young people where killed on a train by an Arabian guy with a long criminal record. Why was this guy not in prison.
Namaste and love .
Brother... you acknowledged...that makes me feel awesome...not about the racism...but you talked on behalf of all the German brothers and sisters...no hard feelings brother..i wish if i could hug you tight right now...even if I can't ...more love to you from India...😇❤️❤️
Utter nonsense. Racism is a problem everywhere in the world. Tank said as much in the video. It doesn't matter what terrible past a country had or didn't have, it's a bunch of assholes ruining the fun for perfectly reasonable people. And so when you denounce and loathe your very own country for those "Einzelfälle", that's what pisses me off. It's the same way I'm pissed of when the AfD talks shit about refugees, because one happened to commit a crime. It's literally the same freaking logic! If you wanna pull the "This country is literally full of Nazis" card, you're more than welcome to GTFO out of Germany if you're oh so triggered. But don't talk smack and relay it to our past because that gets you thumbs up from the leftist bubble. Not only that, but you're devaluing the people that have suffered unimaginable fates by claiming everything is bad as the Holocaust and that there's somehow an uproar of systematic racism without backing it up with data.
Disgusting.

Thing is, if not for this band, I know for certain I would not be here. Bloodywood saved my life -- and I will be forever grateful to them.
Had it not been for Jee Veerey saving my life, I would not be in the lives of my niece and my nephew. There is no way I could ever pay the debt of gratitude I owe them. Their lyrics convinced me to keep fighting at a time when I didn't feel like it. And as a result, whenever I come across people who might need a voice to keep them encouraged, to keep them fighting, I lend them my strength and courage to keep going. And in that way, I pay it forward what Bloodywood did for me.
Thanks, Tank, for the interview, and my eternal thanks to Bloodywood for being the awesome guys that they are. They are awesome humans.
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing that with us. Music is such a powerful thing, and you are proof that it can save lives!
@@TankTheTech : Here are two hashtags I always use:
#MusicIsMyWeapon
#MusicSavesLives
And I use these two hashtags because I'm a firm believer that music has a unique way of expressing emotion that other mediums just can't. And in that respect, music like Bloodywood's has a way of reaching people that other things may not -- and in that process, break down barriers and walls to actually help people heal. It is why I am such a huge supporter of music in general, because music is a human universal, and there is music somewhere for everyone. And when music speaks to so many, it has the power to unite like no other.
Jee Veerey saved my life too. I found it when I was in a domestic violence shelter, having finally escaped an abusive marriage, and the song flattened me. I went weeks at a time getting up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and saying "You're not done yet, today you won't die." Rait Baney Loha is tattooed on the inside of my left forearm, and I'm trying to decide which lyrics from Aaj will be next. Bloodywood Saves Lives. Absolutely unique sound. Absolutely authentic people.
Well, damn, that's great to hear. Glad you are here with us to enjoy life and to help others.
@@quiet7632 And I will be seeing them live in New York City on October 1st. Life Is Good..
Can't express how much I loved this interview and interaction between Tank and Karan. Just an all out amazing job. This was everything I hoped it would be and then some. Also, how EPIC would it be if Tank actually became Bloodywood's Tour Manager. That would be beyond brilliant. 🙂
Man, I know it would be a blast. I'd love to do it just to be with them as they experience a new culture for the first time.
@@TankTheTech Oh man...!!! I sooo hope that happens. 🤞🤞🙂🙂
Absolutely loved this interview, Karan is so interesting to listen to, I know a bit about Indian culture and how hard it is for musicians to break away from the Bollywood schtick. Bloodywood are a fantastic band with a sound that nobody could emulate.
There you are right ,coming from middle class we are just told study study ,then time comes job job,and marriage. ....finally married life is full of responsibility music just listening. ...hey that's too tooo loud can you pls shut that shit music...this is life....fucking m almost 50 but at least still listen to music.
For me, Bloodywood is rigth now the best metal band on the planet, pure new energy.
Karan's answer to the last question made me tear up. Bloodywood as a band have brought me many emotional moments over the years, and I am so happy that they are starting to get the recognition they deserve.
Tank, that was not an interview, that was simply two like-minded people talking, nerding out over technical stuff at moments, laughing together about stories about Indian college students and creating a bond. Thank you for bringing these two hours of delight to us.
Album and merch is pre-ordered and now I'm off to convince my best friend to see Bloodywood live in Stuttgart in March next year! :D
man, I am an older metal head, I absolutely love this band and have shared them with a number of friends, I hope that the music brings them the same peace that it brings me.
I am an Afghan war vet, and man everything can be a struggle some days, but songs like Jee Veerey have been able to speak to feelings that I have had a hard time talking to other people about.
I can't say I have ever had music hit me that way before. And seeing the interview, how great a person Karan is, man I want to meet more people like you in my every day life.
The power of music, man! So awesome. Thank you for sharing!
What a humble kind fantastic guy Karan is. I have the cd and have been pissing my neighbors off ever since I got it. I hope and pray for a IS tour that stops in Texas, specifically in San Antonio. These guys are special and they are going to be huge
Stellar interview.
Bloodywood was one of those bands that "fell through the cracks" for me, but after listening to this interview I went and checked them out and they immediately went on to my daily playlist.
Bro they are so sick. Liquid metal introduced me to them. \m/
Even though the EU concert tour is cancelled, Bloodywood is still in the lineup for the Friday of Summer Breeze festival in August, which is the day that I will be there. Fingers crossed that it will happen...
I need the Bloodywood Vinyl! edit: Ordered.
Also, great interview! Going to watch it again right away.
Karan, if you're reading this.... Please come to Finland!
Played Copenhagen on the 12th of March, hopefully they'll be back. Circus of Tavastia would be bouncing for sure 🤘🤘
Karans answer at the end feels so very much bloodyword brand its nuts. socially concious while plugging his own project. you don't see that every day that is for sure.
lol when you're were talking about the intern just clicking No on the copyright claims, my first thought was "Like trying to get the US visa..." and there goes Karan and actually says it!!!! I swear you have no idea how it is to apply for that visa as a latinx or, as you can see by this interview, indian. I had all my papers in order for a tech conference in New Orleans and I got my visa denied, why? because. That's it, that's the answer you get after you already spent a lot of money just to get an appointment.
Anyways, I really felt that last answer by Karan, about the song in the right moment cause when I was sharing the album I talked about Bloodywod with an acquaintance I don't talk to that often and she tells me "You know... I really needed this right now", turns out she was going through depression and hadn't told anyone. She absolutely loved Jee Veerey.
All this. I turned a friend on to them with Yaad, after she was having a very rough day on the anniversary of losing a very special dog. The emotion and passion they put in is so very real, which is what makes it so relatable
Outstanding, Tank! Thank you Karan!
I discovered Bloodywood spring of 2019 with their metal cover of Tunak Tunak and did a deep dive into what they had out at that time. The traditional instruments blended with rock hit me in all the feels. Their altruism and humbleness make them well rounded and a joy to listen to! I love them so much! Hope to see them in the states soon.
What a brilliant conversation. Thank you Karan and Tank for this. These guys are definitely something special, both musically and just downright great human beings. And I'm with you Tank, Raoul and Jayant are absolutely some of my favorite vocalists. Each powerful in their unique ways.
I basically agree with Tank, Bloodywood can become a game changer in metal. I think the main reason for that is that they show a dimension metal so far has hardly dwelled on at least when it comes to the big acts, and that is the element of local culture. Metal from the beginning was global; it might has started in the UK and mostly spread to the USA and Europe, there is a global reception. And now the whole world has artists that mirror back local culture. I immediatly have to thing of the Roots phase of Sepultura, when they used traditional brasilian style of rhythms and instruments to add a different flavor and it was huge. Now this scope broadens. Bloodywood combine more than solid Nu-Metal with one of the biggest musical cultures there is on this planet. I still remember listening to Punjabi MC like 20 years and being like... why has nobody done anything like that but in the metal genre. Add to that what mad rhythmic going on prog metal, it funny that few people thought of inspiration from indian music (save say Mattias IA Eklundh... and I still have to learn Konokol properly). Eitherway I think locally cultured metal with become big, just as in the pop work we had the Psy moment where Korea entered the equation and now 10 years later K-Pop is big, like seriouly BIG. And this can also happen in Metal.
Appart from that Karan seems such a sweat guy, this was great podcast and wish him and Bloodywood all the best. I love how far they have already come, but there is massive potential and it good to know they are actually great guys. But next time you are in Germany, please don't drink Faxe. It might look impressive but it sure is not the best beer you can have.
I have been totally shocked by a band twice in my life. First time around year 2000 by Slipknot and second time couple weeks ago by Bloodywood. Those guys are absolutely amazing, I could listen to their music all the time and I wanna support them as much as possible. Karan seems like a really nice guy and I thank Tank for this interview. Much love and greetings from Czech Republic!
Such a humble person. Karan you are a true Human Being! Same goes for Tank!
Okay...2hours and 16 minutes. LEEET'S GOOO!
Finally got my Bloodywood merch and Vinyl/CD today. They took a bit longer to deliver, BUT IT'S AWESOME. Soooo happy!
That was such an amazing conversation, thank you Karan and Tank! I also have to say, every time I listen to Jee Veerey I get emotional, that song has so much power.
Karan's answer to the last question was awesome. I have already done that with multiple people. Most importantly for was showing bloodywood to my mother. She does not like metal at all. Like myself she has struggled with mental illness most of her life. I finally convinced her to watch Jee veerey and she was so completely blown away by the message. So much so she shared it with her therapist who was also mind blown.
Tank, I was thrilled you have a tattoo of the Jester head. In Flames is one of my all time favorite bands. They are not super popular here in America. I have met many metal heads that have never heard of them. I live in Boston which had a pretty big metal scene in the late 90's and early 2000's.
Bloodywood if you guys come to Boston I will buy tickets the moment they go on sale. I would even pay extra for a meet and greet.
"sounds like people who give us visas" is a such briliant zinger. Loved this interview, I have no idea about a lot about music industry, so it was nice to sit and listen to two guys having a relaxed conversation about stuff they're into.
Man, I love Karan. He seems like such a sweetheart!
I agree with your wife, @Tankthetech. The bands that I love the most, I feel like I love them as people. The most recent being the members of Jinjer, and now Bloodywood.
What a great conversation! I wouldn't really call it an interview, it was much too intimate and open for that. Originally, I planned to have it play in the background while tinkering on my old motorbike. But then, 2 1/4 hours later, I found myself sitting on the floor in front of the open ingition timer casing, wrench still in hand and I didn't lift a single finger while listening to you guys, it was that riveting.
I saw Bloodywood live in Wacken, back in 2019 and although I could only make it for the last 3 songs (I was a bit too hungover to make it in time) it was a blast. I really hope we can all come back to the "holy ground" someday and have a good time again.
I love love LOVE Bloodywood so much. It's not even just about the music for me, I mean the people. Those guys seem like my kind of people, and I wish I was their friend
Sitting here at my desk, completly ignoring my work because i'm loving that video so much. Thanks for bringing Karan on here! It's so nice watching you two nerding out together. Love it!
Ever since the algorythm brought me one of their songs i'm a fan of Bloodywood. I hope you're right about them entering Metal-history bc they absolutly should!
I was devastaded when the tour in Germany was canceled but can't wait for next year.
Keep up the great work Tank!
All of this was writen while wearing Bloodywood merch btw ^^
Sick interview. As a Bloodywood fan and a fan of the channel. This was better than I ever hoped for. Great work guys . Really love the fact is really authentic. We need more of this kind of wholesome content.🔥💯🤟🏽
Thanks a ton!
What a great question at the end, and Karan's undeniably sincere answer was perfect. The power of music goes way beyond entertainment, and Bloodywood proves it. I'm pretty sure John Lennon would love these guys.
Great interview, I really enjoyed it! I learned about Bloodywood a while ago, they are so amazing.
I am already looking forward to the next interview (yeah, this is totally the reason I became a Patreon... 🙂)!
I've listened to Rakshak more or less on repeat since it dropped on Bandcamp! It is without a doubt the best metal album released in decades!
I got both of my preordered copies of Rakshak on cd within a week of the release date, the band really went above and beyond to get it into the hands of their loyal fans.
Oh I can't wait to see this!
Jee Veerey is the only song I skip because crying while driving is never a good idea
Love this from India! I felt you guys are from completely different worlds but so interesting to see the similarities and differences. One world one love!
Lots love guys Greg from Mumbai India,keep it up man keep Rock alive in India ,proud of you.
This was a blast to watch!
Introducing rock metal to 1.2 billion Indian can be the biggest recession to bring back the rock era.but sadly people are too mainstream nowdays,i love bloddywood for putting their work out there.
Thank you for this man.
I loved that.Thank you both. ♡
Such a great chat, can't wait for the next one!
Great video man, thx for presenting some new bands around here
i had to stop watching this podcast mid way through to finally go listen to this band. i also went and watched your reactions. fuck yes! welcome to my life Bloodywood. it's just the energy i need.
This was just awesome - thanks Karan and Tank!
Well that was 2 hours well spent. Amazing conversation. One of the few interviews I'll surely revisit and watch on multiple occasions.
Another great interview, Tank. It was worth staying up til almost 3 AM for the premiere. Will definitely be replaying it several times throughout the week. 🤘
Hell yeah lets gooooooooo!
Man I love this content so much, especially when you give us little overview how does it work in the business and in the background, super interesting. Thumbs up.
This was so interesting to listen to! Loved it from start to finish. I could have listened for another two hours.
Just started listening to the album, and I love it already, it's absolutely incredible already
This was very interesting to watch, and probably one of the few interviews I've ever watched in full. Being from New Delhi myself, I really can't wait to see them live!
Great interview man, Rakshak is amazing! Much love
Thank you for this!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I could listen to 2 more hours of that! OUTSTANDING interview! Love the band even more!
Hi Tank! Started to listen to this interview and had to pause it to listen to some of their music and then watched the documentary. I finally came back to listen to the rest of the interview and it was fantastic. Karan and the rest of the band are so genuine and real. I love the outreach they have done. I hope to see them live and get to meet them in person. Great interview!
Awesome interview man! These guys are amazing! Did a reaction to Dana Dan not knowing who they are to absolutely loving this band. This interview was extremely informative! Just shows the side to them that you don't necessarily know about. Awesome band, awesome interview! Well done man🤘
Hey! I saw your review! I love seeing first timers get well and truly blown away, which you were so very obviously 🤗 Also love that you actually react - I agree with Tank about the “watch blankly then just go “yeah, that was good”, I much prefer people who let you actually see the sons impact
Thanks a ton, man! Yeah, these guys, in my opinion, are one of the most important new bands in metal.
Man i love this podcast, everyone speaking just plainly and passionately love it. Keep it up !!!!
I love this!! Fantastic interaction!
I loved this interview so much. Both Tank and Karan are humble, fascinating and very relatable people.
What a great interview
Wow, what a great interview, more like two friends having a great chat, super nice down to earth guy Karan is, great job Tank!
Great conversation!!! I really enjoyed it.
I love this interview soooo much.
I've been a fan of Bloodywood for the last two years and they are the best I've ever listened to. 🙏 Hopefully I'll be able to see them live on stage in future.
I just finished watching the interview. Fantastic job! Karan seems to be so humble and grounded, almost unbelievable.
Looking forward to the next episode 🤘
I've been waiting until I had enough time to watch this in its entirety and it didn't disappoint! Maybe one of the best interviews I've ever heard - and it's because it NEVER felt like an interview! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you & Karan had been friends for a long time & were just catching up. That's rare - and a credit to both of you!
Tank, this was such a great...it really was more of a conversation than an interview. I really look forward to you doing more of these. :) And Karan shows again what an amazing human being he is; I loved his shout out to WildlifeSOS, which I donate to regularly. If you love elephants and want to help them heal from the cruelty they're subjected to, I implore everyone to donate to them.
I’ve watched the reaction videos but first time listening to an interview and this was excellent. Great work really allowed Karan to feel comfortable and open up to his experiences. Don’t be afraid to veer away from the music sometimes as you’ll get some great conversations!
Loved this. I have the same sentiment about the album as well Tank. I think Zanjeero Se and Endurant are my favorites because I'm a sucker for LP/Rise Against style octave cords. I'd also note that Bsdk.exe is my favorite "banger" track with Dana Dan being a close second.
Endurant is such a banger, super underrated track.
Finally someone mentioned "Zanjeero Se" ! ❤️❤️❤️ What a freaking beautiful song that is man ! 🙏
Fantastic talk! I loved this pod from the off. Keep this up! Love it.
I like Karan a lot!
Finally watched this, thanks for the awesome interview video. Karan is a great dude. I hope I can see Bloodywood live the next time they're touring nearby.
I would love to see more talking to Bloodywood. Either Karan again, or Raul or Jayant.
It felt like talking to a long time no see friends and just having fun.
Fantastic interview. I think you guys will end up being lifetime friends.
Thanks a lot, man! And yeah, we've already kept up a lot since we recorded this, and he's just such a nice human being.
Another great interview!! I loved the fact that Karan had questions for you!!! The tables have been turned!! Hahaha
I was definitely not expecting that. Hahaha
How the turn tables
What a man Karan! What a humble and cool guy he is.
I have to say that I just watched the entire interview/talk without knowing a single song by the band. At this precise moment I am going to listen to them and beyond my personal taste I wish them the best.
Something similar happened to me with the band Myrath from Tunisia and luckily they became known in the metal world.
Thank you too Tank to bring us this kind persons on your podcast.
Love to India and cheers from the oposite side of the world for both of you, from Argentina
i really enjoyed it..... love from INDIA
Absolutely brilliant interview. Podcasts rarely grab my meager attention span so I can't believe I sat through and enjoyed this entire thing in one go! Bloodywood is amazing and not only are they gonna carve a path forward for Indian metal, but they are definitely going to leave a lasting impression on metal as a whole. Loved seeing Karan and Tank connect and even bond over so much stuff. You da man, Tank!
Just the best album
Wow , you are doing a great job Tank!!
Yup I may one of the guys to joy you guys for sponsorship too.keeping rocking
Sat through it all with a smile on my face. Got to know about Bloodywood from Stevie T and it's been a fucking long time since I've been so moved by a band's music. Ran into your channel and now this interview and man what can I say, getting Karan and listening to his take on stuff was so cool. Your reactions and gear breakdowns too. Thanks for uploading this! A tat in Hindi from a part of Endurant's lyrics is on its way for me, first tat ever in my whole 32 years of life so far. Their music has moved me that much. This was such an amazing interview. Got yourself a new subscriber since I watched your reaction to Gaddaar, Dana Dan and Machi Bhasad if I recall correctly. Great stuff, keep it up man! Shoutout to Karan as well for being such an awesome guy too. Cheers from Uruguay, South America!
This was such an awesome interview, I absolutely love this format, keep these coming! My daughter and I have watched your rise from day one and have been introduced to some incredible bands and music and we are both so excited to now watch the rise of this incredible band. Tank, we don't know you and you don't know us, but you have given my daughter and I something very special, something to bond over, and that's more important than anything else in life. Here's to a bright future and I hope we meet at a show some day. 🤘🤘🤘
great interview, loved all the topics you guys touched and how you shared your experinces. Thanks!
It took me a while and a few sittings to listen to it all (since it is a quite long conversation) but it was totally worth it. Very informative and with this format of you both just talking about stuff without a fixed plan it gives a good look into the personality of the person, which is really nice.
I have followed Bloodywoods music since I stumbled upon Jee Veerey some years back (shortly after release I think) and while not everything hits my taste, there are some really great songs in their collection, that I often listen to. The latest being Aaj.
You are doing a good job guys.
Guys this was an awesome video. Thank you
What a fantastic interview! Karan seems like such a lovely guy, and I love the charity work these guys do behind the scenes, thank you for this Tank, it has been a real pleasure!
such a great album the fusion is done so well mad love to Tank and Bloodywood
Awesome conversation 💖💖💖
Love the talk about live music equipment! I think all you really need on tour is a good amp/combo you like with a proper attenuator/load box and speeker simulation. Something like Captor X from Two Notes, Suhr Reaload, etc.. Everything will be loud enough once connected to mix console/PA system. For ex. Paul Landers from Rammstein use ONLY his signature multieffect from the Tech 21 directly to recording device or live to PA. :)
Great interview.
This is the most unique podcast/interview. My parents listened to like 60's, 70's and 80's country music or classic rock compared to my taste of Alternative metal and deathcore. It surprises me when people mention how certain people live life. I think that BloodyWood peaked my interest about folk metal
That was an amazing video. Subscribed!
I love this guy
Ian, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Bloodywood captured my heart 3 years ago, and I've been a proud supporter ever since. On the other hand, I've been watching your channel since you began, and am so stoked to see how you've grown. The convergence of these two entities just made me so happy! If I could throw in some Deep Purple and a bit of Nightwish, I'd happily die on the spot, completely fulfilled. LOL
There were too many topics that I wanted to chime in on - so much great conversational material! If you end up managing for them, you'll have to say hi when they come to California. Rest assured - I'll be in the front row. 🤘😁
God bless Karan and the band for helping the animals. Anything helps! And their music is awesome
I have to say, this interview felt like it lasted for only a half-hour... Very enjoyable in every aspect. Man, Karan, what a great guy! Also, thanks to Tank for introducing me to this great band! We need more people as both these guys
2:13:00 I just did it (again) today.
I was so surprised that there's an Indian Folk Metal Band which I have never heard before.
in my country, India = Bollywood. I'm trully apologize, but that's what people here knows.
around 2 months ago, first song I've heard was "Dana Dan" suggested by youtube. then I listen to their album.
each songs in Rakshak has a story related to real life. that's why I recommend it to my friend.
the way they made the lyrics, and mix the music is amazing! they're also give a lot of effort for their tour.
I hope Bloodywood will be success with their music and the message inside each songs can touch more people.
Kindly Regards,
from Bali - Indonesia
Great interview, my fav band atm
We just saw their American premier at Louder than Life. They had a HUGE crowd and had crazy energy going with us. If you get a chance to see these guys, do it! They put on a great show.
This was the first and only video that was over 20 mins that i sat through completely and payed attention to and enjoyed from start to finish in my entire life...absolute banger🔥
Thanks a ton!
Loved this Tank, can't wait to see the future tour vlog when you sink some beers with the boys stateside :)
