Bloodywood lights up Diablo Stage at Sick New World, talks with SWOMP after set

Bloodywood continued its rapid ascent on the global metal scene with a high-energy performance on the Diablo Stage at Sick New World. The Indian band’s set at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds showcased its blend of nu metal, metalcore and melodic hard rock, combined with traditional Indian folk elements — a fusion that has helped set the group apart on festival lineups. Following the performance, SWOMP spoke with rapper Raoul Kerr about the band’s momentum and growing international reach. Bloodywood is currently touring behind its latest album Nu Delhi, which serves as a tribute to the band’s home region while expanding on its genre-crossing sound. The group has quickly built a reputation as a standout live act, bolstered by festival appearances and sold-out shows. It has also shared stages with major acts and collaborated with Japanese metal band BABYMETAL on the track “Bekhauf.” Later this year, Bloodywood is set to bring its live show across the United States on its “System of a Brown” tour, marking one of its most extensive runs in the country to date, with support from The Pretty Wild, Ladrones and Ankor on select dates.
