Bloodywood Are Taking Indian Metal To The World

Bloodywood. The name in itself brings a sense of irony to not just India’s cliche of Bollywood, but perhaps a mainstream understanding of death metal to the average Indian; gory, bloody and devil worship. The three piece metallers from the capital of New Delhi are anything but that. What started out as a parody project from the bedroom of Karan Katiyar, has now evolved into amongst the most exciting new bands from South Asia in the last couple of years, at a time when guitar music is limping its way back into mainstream consciousness.

Finding success in parodies of popular Bollywood, desi and sometimes chart-topping pop singles, Bloodywood are now over 100-shows old on American, European and SE Asian shores, with a fraction of those numbers in India. Fresh off the success of their debut record, Rakshak, the band are now winding down after a whirlwind 2022-23, dominating stages across festivals outside of India, a new album in the works and finding a sense of rhythm on the back of their unprecedented success… VICE Asia
