It is not often that you see an Indian band enter multiple Billboard charts for their debut album. Bloodywood, a New Delhi-based folk-metal band, marked history by being one of the first Indian metal bands to be counted 13 Billboard charts for Rakhshak, released in February this year. According to a post shared by the band about a month ago, they ranked second on the Current Hard Music Albums, third on the New Artist Albums chart, ninth on the Current Rock Albums chart, 35th on Album Sales, fifth on the Record Label Independent Current Albums chart and 11 on Internet Albums, among many more.

Formed in 2016 by Karan Katiyar (guitarist and producer) and vocalist Jayant Bhardula,  Bloodywood began as a parody band that uploaded metal covers of pop songs and Bollywood songs on YouTube. They released their original, Machi Bhasad (Expect a riot) only in 2019, and officially introduced rapper Raoul Kerr as part of their band.
