  • I almost had the opportunity of seeing Bloodywood at Bloodstock in 2021, but due to covid restrictions they couldn't make the trip. So to finally have them on my list to analyze here on the channel was a delight! The mixture of not only vocalizations but authentic Indian instruments made this song an absolute treasure to behold!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Bloodywood for the first time, performing "Ari Ari” featuring Raoul Kerr.

      Just gonna put this out there, Gaddaar is probably one of The most energetic, well structured, perfectly balanced, beautifully written and simply one of the best metal tracks of all time. You guys have really done an amazing job with it, as well as with the whole album. Your energy is pure and authentic and draws out the most amazing emotions when I listen to your music like very few bands have done before, and I can’t stop singing your praises to all that will listen. Keep it up and I wish you all the success that you so totally deserve.

    The drum like instrument us called dhol
    And the whistle is a flute
    Raoul was a feature in this song but after this song he officially joined the band
    Jayant is lead vocalist he good at both harsh and cleans
    Karan does a lot of flute and guitar solos in few songs and great overall and and founded bloodywood
    All their music has some messaging behind it and beautifully crafted video message
    Now they have their own self made album
    More Recommendation from them

    Raoul was a guest artist on this song and he jelled so well the original two members that he joined the band permanently after. Their recent debut album (early 2022) is top notch and one of the most refreshing and innovative metal albums in years (and staggeringly impressive for a self-published album). Ari Ari is fun and where their sound first fully came together but it’s basically a metal cover and they just got better with experience . The material they wrote from scratch themselves is a cut above this, both in polish and in passion. As an added bonus, they are all genuinely sweet and humble young men. They are definitely one of the most genuinely likeable metal bands out there right now.

    One of the things I love most about them though, are their messages. They sing about political and cultural stuff, of course, like in this one, they also sing specifically about women's rights, they help animal shelters in India and so on... They're all about great causes and their lyrics are always on point about these serious issues and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.

    They started out doing covers and this was the one where everything clicked. It's a cover of a Bombay Rockers song, an indian band who was quite successful in india (and denmark for some reason). This was the first song with a rap part and this became the formula of success for the band. I've seen them live in germany before the pandemic and I might see them on festivals again later this year. After this song they started releasing original songs, and they are even better than their covers.
    When you said it might be hard to play guitar on the back of a camel I thought "that's nothing, try playing a guitar in outer space" and that brings me to an idea for a reaction, because you could react to the best singer in outer space ever. Astronaut Chris Hadfield, who actually recorded a record of cover songs when he was on the ISS. For his cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity, there is a music video that was shot on the ISS aswell. He also spoke about how being in zero G changes your voice and affects singing, so that is definetly something new to explore. Appearently earth's gravity drains your head of liquid, so in zero G your tongue is bigger and it's harder to hit lower notes. The Space Oddity video you can easily find on youtube and a 20min podcast about singing and playing guitar in space you can find on soundcloud "Space Sessions: Songs From a Tin Can - Making Of".

    I'm glad you've had the opportunity to check Bloodywood out. They're an amazing band. All their tracks have a message and everything, including the videos and their new album, is self produced. Their track Dana Dan is well worth a look, just make sure you turn on the captions as it's worth having the lyrics up, be warned though the lyrics are full on. . It's also worth checking out Raoul Kerr's track 'For Her' done with his band No Flag before he joined Bloodywood full time.

I have to thank Tank, his podcast with Karan was what got me to give them a listen. Karan just seems like a really interesting and likeable guy that I decided to listen to Gadaar. Now I kick myself that I didn't get onto them earlier. As a lot of people have said, pick any song and you can't go wrong but for you I would say Aaj.

    I've been playing and enjoying their first album 'Rahshak', which is one of the top albums of the year, IMHO. This particular song is not on it, and somehow I'd missed hearing it earlier, so thanks for that. I do think that nearly every comment you made about this song also applies to every Bloodywood song I've heard. So much musical skill, such great song writing, such passion for what they do. I have to thank Tank the Tech for my first introduction to them. 'Gaddar', 'Aaj', and 'Dana Dan' have such great videos.
    (and again, I really wanted to make this premier, but sadly I got zero hours of sleep yesterday and I needed a few hours of sleep right away..)

Another band that does this very well (but totally differently) is The Tea Party, combining hard rock with blues and middle eastern influences. Their singer Jeff Martin has a gorgeous deep, rich and resonant voice, and they similarly have a big sound with just 3 people. They were big in the 90s then split up and reformed again fairly recently.
