MUSIC NEWS: Nu Metal Meets Indian Folk With Bloodywood's Upcoming Album 'Nu Delhi'

Tiana Speter
 

Bloodywood, torchbearers and metal barrier-breakers hailing from India, are thrilled to announce their new album NU DELHI, out March 21 via Fearless Records.


To celebrate the good news, the band has shared the video for new single TADKA.


With TADKA, the band offers up another gritty and groove metal anthem with traditional instrumentation. The song packs a nu metal punch, pairing monster truck-sized riffs and hellbound screaming with classic sounds that reflect their culture. Bloodywood walk the line between genres fearlessly and without a net, and the result is a hard rock banger unlike which you've heard before.


It's quite a tasty track — literally.


"Tadka is a metal tribute to Indian food. The word 'Tadka' is a cooking process in Indian cuisine where spices are heated in hot oil or ghee to create a more aromatic flavor... It's about going the extra mile in the pursuit of a greater flavor. The song highlights the multi-faceted chaos of Indian kitchens that are tasked with perfectly executing centuries-old recipes on a daily basis as well as the immense joy they brings to most people. This is a never-ending love story that connects an entire nation. From the fanciest fine dining restaurants to the simplest road side stall, everyone brings something magical to the table, but the undisputed champion of the cuisine is the Indian household kitchen. When you fuse these recipes and techniques with the love of an Indian family home, the result is unbeatable." - Bloodywood

It's the kind of joy that Bloodywood just had to share — so they did.



Tadka follows the video for BEKHAUF, the band's collaboration with BABYMETAL, which was lauded by Consequence, Revolver, Brave Words, Rock Sound, Crunchyroll, and more. It was a true Asian metal cultural collision that grabbed the scene and beyond by the throat and forced the music world to pay attention!


Now, with the brand new album set to drop on March 21, you can also catch the video for the album's title track to get you absolutely frothed for this incredible cultural collision set to release next month. If nu metal with world music hints is up your alley - get amongst this band ASAP!


Nu Delhi is due out Friday 21 March via Fearless Records.
