Bloodywood, torchbearers and metal barrier-breakers hailing from India, are thrilled to announce their new album “Nu Delhi”, out on March 21st, 2025, via Fearless Records.
To celebrate the good news, the band has shared the video for new single “Tadka”. Watch the video below. Bloodywood will be touring Europe starting next month – check out the dates below!
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. Bloodwywood 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 band declares. “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 band continues: “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”. 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!
