The Bloodywood album we have on The List was only very briefly touched on in a #MontageMonday post a few weeks ago. So, today let's put the spotlight back on them and listen to their newest album, just released on Friday! Features a collab with BABYMETAL ("Bekhauf"), and also a fun song about cooking ("Tadka"). This band is an absolute delight.
Bloodywood - Nu Delhi (2025, India)
8 track album
Montage Monday | Bloodywood – Rakshak (2022, India) / Prophets of Rage – s/t (2017, US) / Manic Street Preachers – The Holy Bible (1994, Wales) / Rage Against The Machine – s/t (1992, US)
Today’s spotlight is the second in our new series called “Montage Monday”, where the spotlight may be brief but is packed with a lot of music. And for no particular reason, this Montage Monday we’re going to spotlight albums spanning 30 years that have some (very well-justified) anger issues, working backward in case doing so can turn back time. One key song per album is highlighted, but titrate additional tunes/anger in as needed.

Montage Monday | Bloodywood/Prophets of Rage/Manic Street Preachers/Rage Against The Machine
Today’s spotlight is the second in a new series called “Montage Monday”, where the spotlight may be brief but is packed with a lot of music. Because, sometimes, you need a montage (montage!).[1]
And for no particular reason, this Montage Monday we’re going to spotlight albums spanning 30 years that have some anger issues – or, rather, address issues with very well-justified anger -, working backward in case doing so can turn back time. Each title is directly linked to its Bandcamp/Songlink in case you want to just jump straight in and forego the montage completely, though the montage this time around is really just suggestions of some key tunes. Titrate additional tunes/anger in as needed. Ready?
Bloodywood – Rakshak (2022, India)[2] / Prophets of Rage – s/t (2017, US)[3] / Manic Street Preachers – The Holy Bible (1994, Wales)[4] / Rage Against The Machine – s/t (1992, US)[5]
Bloodywood – “Dana Dan” (Youtube video; Songlink): You might think you don’t like nu-metal, until you hear this song/album/band. This band is bloody amazing, and the video for this song always gets me jacked up (CW: mention of sexual assault and violence). (Watch for their third LP, Nu Delhi, coming out later this month – one track features BABYMETAL!)
I put a fist through the face of a rapist, and yeah, I tape this
For the viewing pleasure of the nameless faces he disgraces
And yeah, one day I may change his kind with my mind, but
I won’t bow to the beast, never make peace
Prophets of Rage – “Unfuck the World” (Bandcamp): See also the entire rest of this album, the only LP from an explosive supergroup of members from Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill formed in the wake of the 2016 US election. So.
Give a damn, evil can’t stand, yeah
When the people take a stand
C’mon!
No hatred, fuck racists
Blank faces, time’s changin’
One nation, unification
The vibration, unfuck the world!
Manic Street Preachers – “Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit’sworldwouldfallapart” (Songlink): Contents as stated.
And lastly, for the Rage Against The Machine track, we’re obviously going to have to go with “Killing in the Name” (Songlink), seeing as, still, some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me

10 track album
Montage Monday | The Boys Next Door/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds/Fontaines D.C.
Today’s spotlight is the first in a new series called “Montage Monday”, where the spotlight may be brief, possibly even silly, but is packed with a lot of music. Because, sometimes, you need a montage (montage!).[1] And, also, we still have like 950 more albums to get through, and Mondays are hard.
So, for our first Montage Monday, we’re going to cover 43 years of rock of the punk/goth persuasion across 3 bands from 3 land masses. And, each title is directly linked to its Bandcamp/Songlink, in case you want to just jump straight in and forego the montage completely. Ready?
The Boys Next Door – Door, Door (1979, Australia)[2] / Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Let Love In (1994, Australia/Europe)[3] / Fontaines D.C. – Skinty Fia (2022, Ireland)[4]
In 1973, Nick Cave and some Melbourne schoolmates formed a band that would eventually become a four-piece group (with Mick Harvey, Phill Calvert, and Tracy Pew) known as The Boys Next Door. Starting largely as a punk cover band, after Rowland S. Howard joined, their sound changed to some sort of gloriously eclectic post-punk, and they released one absolutely brilliant album, Door, Door.
The band then left Australia for London, changed their name to The Birthday Party, wrote some goth songs about vampire sex and rats, did a lot of drugs, and met Blixa Bargeld from that German industrial band with the unpronounceable name. The band broke up in 1983 but essentially resurrected as Nick Cave and the Cavemen, soon renamed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A few girlfriends, albums, and countries later, we were gifted the wonderfully moody Let Love In, whose side A closer “Red Right Hand” would become the theme song for the brilliant TV series, Peaky Blinders (2013-2022).
Among other things, Peaky Blinders – a British period drama set between WWI and II – is known for its spot-on use of anachronistic songs, including a lot of Nick Cave. One influence on the soundtrack was none other than the show’s star Cillian Murphy, a former musician with impeccable taste in music. Murphy must not have had enough influence on the soundtrack though, because one of his favorite bands, fellow Irishmen and goth/punk rock band Fontaines D.C., clearly got shafted by being left off all six seasons. Like, maybe the timing didn’t work for something from Skinty Fia to be included in the final season, but they already had a couple other albums that could’ve been drawn from. And they essentially carry on the spirit of the early days of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but, you know, in an Irish way. So, wtf?! Perhaps to fully explore such a travesty, we should go back to the beginning of anti-Irish sentiment in Britain. In this essay I will…
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out, it seems like more time has passed
