Nu Delhi is the second studio album by the Indian heavy metal band Bloodywood. It was released on 21 March 2025. ^[5]

Background and themes

The album is a tribute to the musical scene of Delhi, from which the band originates. In a Kerrang! interview, Jayant Bhadula states: ^[6]

"We always try to advocate for things that are close to us. With Nu Delhi, we wanted to let the world know that there is this thriving music scene – not just metal – in India, which is on par with what's happening in the world. The first single, Nu Delhi itself, is a love letter from us to this city."

The third single, "Tadka", released at the end of January 2025, is a reference to the South Asian cooking method of the same name: ^[6] "It's about going the extra mile in the pursuit of a greater flavour," wrote the band in a statement accompanying the single. ^[7]
