Folk metal band Bloodywood will bring its unique fusion of genres all the way from New Delhi, India for a rare Athens experience. Starting as a parody band in 2016, the group went from uploading heavy metal covers of popular Bollywood songs on YouTube to writing politically and socially charged originals. It has pioneered a sound melding Indian folk instruments into heavy metal and combining Hindi/Punjabi choruses with English rap verses. Bloodywood has warned this will be its last tour for a while because the members are hitting the studio to record a new album. Iowa-based melodic metal band Vended and UK-based electro-punk Wargasm will open for the night.
WHO: Bloodywood, Vended, Wargasm
WHEN: Friday, May 19, 6:30 p.m. (doors), 7:30 p.m. (show)
