Rock phantasm

The band seen jamming at Studio Bass

The theme of their work this far was stated by Shumon as 're-incarnation of the old rock music'--the ideology to bring back '80s rock to present days. In addition, the message they want to pass to the next generation musicians is 'do good quality music for maximum audible pleasure', remarks Shuvo.

The band has a huge array of influences, starting from Megadeth with Marty Friedman days, Dream Theatre, U2 to even the oldies pop of Simon and Garfunkel.

Mentioning about their genre of music, Shumon explains, as they compose and perform the different variety of tunes from progressive to soft rock and metal to pop, all these ingredients assorted to bake the cake and topped with the funk style icing brings out the big tray of one word that they all smirked to, 'Rock'.

They mention of their 2nd album Biborton making unbelievable record both home and abroad. The sole album became Best Seller of 2001-2002 in New York, Jackson Heights on release.

Shumon, as an artist and recordist says, 'Within limited resources, we are quite happy with our recordings, although the guitar riff tones from the studios need to improve. Hoping that with the advanced CD features and quality from the recording labels, the sound should perk up.

They made positive remarks saying, 'the present music scenario is escalating with the new recording facilities and the new sets of bands coming out in the industry, namely Nemesis the rock band, dNA, Reborn and Kral from the metal side; Dripping Gore from the death metal bands and Breach from the alternative rock side.' Aurthohin shows high hopes and feels these new comers making turmoil in our music industry will catapult a great talent show.

When asked about other contributors to the band, they name Jewel from Miles as the unconditional supporter of the team.

'Every band has some shortcomings and shocking phases to deal with', continues the band as they mention of the sudden jaw injury Shumon experienced. 'But it is God's grace that he has revived from such pain and can sing once more'.

There were big smiles on their faces as they were asked to comment on views expressed by the older generation of fathers and mothers about the 'current music' as more of visual entertainment with heavy music replacing soothing songs and lyrics from the past.

The band made some points clearer. 'This situation of controversy will never change. We probably will feel the same about our kids listening to music of their generation as below standard amusement and that music done in our times would simply seem the best. This cyclic notion of choices will continue till the end of mankind', they grin to an end.

The five member rockers are pushing yet another new compilation Dhrubok that ranges from progressive rock to pop and all the way to heavy metal--a new breed of album for almost all categories of music listeners. The songs are expected to be filled with classy bass lines, matured guitar and keyboard tones, thrashy vocals and 200 bpm of incredible druwms. The album is expected to come out by the 3rd week of November from G-Series. Aurthohin believes that the music level of the new comers in the band will be assessed as soon as this much-awaited album hits the market.
