![]() Early on, Warfaze only played cover music of American and British bands. Mashuk, who played lead guitar for In Dhaka, and Fuad, also from the same band volunteered to help Warfaze as guest members. At that time, only three other Dhaka-based bands shared this genre of music: Rockstrata, In Dhaka and Aces. Sunjoy joined as the vocalist and Russel Ali joined as the Keyboardist. This line-up unfortunately had to go through yet another change when Naimul decided to immigrate to the USA. Kamal therefore took up the lead guitar duties for the band at this stage and the rest of the positions were filled up by Babna on bass, Tipu on drums and Rashed on vocals. At this stage, the band was not that popular and the initial line-up underwent a change with Helal, Mir and Bappi having to leave the band for personal reasons. ![]() Warfaze was formed on June 6th, 1984, with an initial membership consisting of Kamal on Bass, Helal on Drums, Mir and Naimul sharing lead and rhythm guitar duties and Bappi on vocals. Warfaze, along with Rockstrata, In Dhaka and Aces are the sole reason why this genre of music became so popular, and gave way to the popularization of Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal and Hard Rock bands that emerged in the late '90s and early 2000s from the Underground era. Lyrics other than romanticism and patriotism were rare, so it took a while for this music to be accepted, especially in a band music scene where Pop largely dominated as the mainstream music of choice for bands. and during that time, this sound was unheard of in the Bangladeshi band music scene. ![]() The album featured hits like "Boshe Achhi", "Ekti Chhele", "Bichchhinno Abeg", "Shadhikhar" etc. The CD was also re-released by Sargam in 2008. It was released from Sargam in 1991 in cassette format with a later CD release in the late '90s. "Warfaze" is the self-titled debut album of pioneer Bangladeshi Heavy Metal band Warfaze. ![]()
