Bloodywood from India are one of the hottest new band in the Metal genre, with millions of followers online and a growing fanbase. Bloodywood fans can now be found all over the world, millions of people have heard their songs and watched their videos, the wave can no longer be stopped.
Now the debut 'Rakshak', which the band selfâ€Âreleased in early 2022, is finally out on vinyl! In the summer of 2022 they will storm the European festivals, make their point in the USA in September and return to play their longâ€Âawaited club tour through Europe, which was postponed due to the pandemic, at the beginning of 2023.

Among other things, the musicians are involved in animal welfare and social projects and use traditional Indian instruments such as the tabla, dhol or bamboo flute. They mix it with rough thrash metal, urban rap vocals (English/Hindi/Punjabi) and rockâ€Âhard grooves. That creates a lot of uproar, at times sounding like open street fighting and, despite the regional references, has an absolutely international relevance. Especially since moderate sounds also find their place on 'Rakshak' (Hindi for “protector”), as can be heard from the tracks 'Zanjeero Se' and 'Jee Veerey'.
Bloodywood definitely deliver Linkin Parkâ€Âstandards here and even open themselves up to target groups that are less metalâ€Âsavvy. The majority of this album rages like an unleashed tropical storm ('Danaâ€ÂDan', 'Chakh Le') is decked out with an impressively rabid force and hardly allows the listener any breaks. This mix is what makes it so successful: the album entered the Billboard charts, making them the first Indian metal band to do so. 'Rakshak' was also successful on Bandcamp, where it topped the platform's album sales upon release and was ranked as the 22nd bestâ€Âselling new release of all time (as of March 2022) and the 3rd bestâ€Âselling metal release. Rock for a rebellion that will be unstoppable!
