Top 10 Best Bangladeshi Rock Bands

The Top Ten
1 Artcell Artcell is a Bangladeshi progressive metal band formed in October 1999. According to The Daily Star, a leading English national daily, Artcell is "one of the leading bands of the country".

They are the perfect definition of progressive metal. Never-ending riffs and dramatic guitar solos are the main attractions of this band. The mesmerizing lyrics with the depth of vocal pitches, along with harmonic bass notes, are mind-blowing. And who is going to deny how superb the drum tracks were set for each song? I would kill to see their one last performance again.

No doubt, but still the best band in Bangladesh. I just love their playing. As I'm a die-hard fan of progressive playing, Artcell is the only option to be chosen. Besides, the vocal of Lincoln daa is just unbeatable. It seems like a clone voice of J.H Metallica.

Though I could vote for Warefaze, I didn't. Because they don't play various songs much. But I love them also as I love Aurthohin too. But their few tracks like Nikristo1, 2, 3, Guti etc., which I like most, just push myself to think those tracks are nothing but a computer sound effect.

2 Warfaze Warfaze is a Bangladeshi hard rock band.

Line Up:
Palash Noor (vocal)
Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal (Lead guitar),
Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu (drums and percussion)
Samir Hafiz (Guitar),
Shams Mansoor Ghani (keyboards and vocals)
Naim Haque Roger (bass) .

Subjectively, Artcell is the best. I love Artcell's songs a bit more than Warfaze. But objectively, it's Warfaze who is better. They were the first metal and hard rock band of this country, with more influences, better musicians, more albums, more active, and a wider range of genres, etc. They even remade their old songs for new generations. Plus, their musicians taught instruments to other band members too.

Artcell is kind of bad at this point. They released only two full albums. They have been saying they will release their next album for more than 3-4 years. But all they ever end up with is one or two singles every year. They rarely perform at concerts. Two members are living in Australia and stopped practicing with them. The lead vocalist lost his vocals. Only the lead guitarist is perfect. The other three members barely do anything now.

While there are other good things about Artcell too. They never changed their line-up. Most of their songs are good. Their music was more creative compared to other bands. They had better music arrangements. More technically talented musicians. The lead vocalist once had very good vocals/voice, until he became fatter and fatter and lost his vocal skills.

So, in this case, both Warfaze and Artcell are very close contesting bands. It's your opinion what you want to choose.

3 Aurthohin Aurthohin is a Bangladeshi hard rock and metal band formed in 1998 by bassist, singer and songwriter Sumon. He is the only founding member still with the band. Aurthohin are known for their mix of melodic acoustic numbers and extremely heavy metal numbers in their albums often containing lots of bass... read more

It's very hard for me to choose between Artcell, Aurthohin, and Warfaze. All three are amazing but if I have to choose one, it will be Aurthohin just because of their range of songs. It doesn't matter if you feel sad, angry, happy, nostalgic or seek inspiration, they have a song that matches your mood. And of course, there is Bassbaba who has shown to music fans in Bangladesh that a bass guitar is not just a supporting instrument.

Compared to other bands, Aurthohin is more talented. They never had a fixed vocalist. Most of them were busy with their instruments. However, Sumon was always the lead singer. But comparatively, he isn't a very good vocalist. I like his singing, but he isn't like Mizan, Lincoln, or Jon Kabir. He is the best bassist in Bangladesh and one of the greatest bassists in Asia, and also the world. They had several guitarists. Shishir is now playing good lead guitars along with keyboards, proving his multi-instrumental talents. Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal totally changed the band. Piklu also did great guitar solos in the early days. Russel Ahmed was also a good backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the early era. But Rafa made significant changes to Aurthohin. He played a lot of instrumental roles. He joined as a backing vocalist. Later he drummed for the band. Still, he was a very good backing vocalist. He also played guitar, tabla, flute, etc. He played some solos too. He also sang songs like Anmone, Kadbo Bishshoye, and some other songs. They went downhill after Kamal and Rafa left the band. Their last album wasn't very good. Mark Don may be a good drummer, but Rafa and Kamal will remain the legends of the band.

However, they are talented. They played a lot of good songs. But I don't think they are better than Artcell or Warfaze. Objectively, they may be. They released a lot of good albums continuously every year. But they had a lot of lineup changes. While Warfaze is more influential and Artcell had better music arrangements. So, being number three is a perfect place for them.

4 LRB (Love Runs Blind) LRB is a Bangladeshi rock band founded in 1991 by guitarist Ayub Bachchu. The group consists of Ayub Bachchu, Swapan, Masud and Romel.

If you're talking about the "Top 10 Hard Rock Bands of Bangladesh," LRB should be at the top. Artcell, Warfaze, and Aurthohin are not "hard rock" bands. They are heavy metal. I'm sure they can top the "Top 10 Heavy Metal Bands of Bangladesh" list, but not this one. LRB should be at number 1.

Only for LRB, people of all generations in Bangladesh have been involved in the rock area. AB is a kind of guitarist who can challenge any guitarist in the world.

LRB is the only band that has a huge variety of versatile songs & music. The number of hit & good songs of LRB is much higher than any other bands in Bangladesh!

5 Shironamhin Shironamhin is an independent band from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Their music has a mixture of a wide variety of influences, including classical and folk traditions of Bengali music and rock music.

I can't imagine how one can write such types of songs, how one can sing so beautifully from the core of the heart, and how a total band can make such kinds of songs. You are totally great. Your songs can give inner peace.

Shironamhin is my favorite band among all bands in Bangladesh. Your songs give me peace in my heart. Now, I want your next album. I think vocal Tanir Tuhin is the king of vocals. I am a great fan of yours. You are the king of the band.

I am a big fan of your band. Your songs have the ability to give soul peace. They are spiritual and very much reality-based. I think that the ranking is...

6 Nemesis

They are simply awesome. With Maher Khan's solos and Zohad's vocals, they sound simply amazing. They have that touch and feel of rock music that the Bangladesh music scene has been looking for a long time. Best of luck to you guys.

Nemesis is the best youngest band! And I am sure that one day, they will become the best band in history with Maher Khan's solo! I love the way he plays the guitar. I'm a fan of Nemesis.

I think this band has a real rock vocal like Zohad and an awesome guitarist called Maher. They have done a lot of work which is liked by the young generation. They are smart in music and as well as in stage performing.

7 Miles

Miles is the legendary band in Bangladesh and is also very well-known abroad. The music they have created is just great, with a number of all-time hit songs. They opened the door for other bands and showed how to make good music. Not only their music composition but also the lyrics they've used in their songs are significant. They are a very smart, tight, and the best band in Bangladesh.

MILES, a legendary band in Bangladesh. 20-year-old songs of MILES still give me pleasure, these songs never get old. MILES is evergreen. No band in Bangladesh can be compared with MILES. It's true. Miles is a legend.

8 Nogor Baul

Nogor Baul is not for the time, it's for forever. Only James is the pioneer of rock bands in Bangladesh. James is the best performer in concert. He is a practical, romantic singer. He sings for humanity too. Only James is the singer who makes his listeners spread his music to every part of society, country to country. Only James is the singer, who stands in a leading position for 30 years. He is known as the Asian Jim Morrison.

Nogor Baul James is the best with an unparalleled voice and quality as a stage performer. That's why the band is the best. Moreover, James, who is the vocalist of this band, is called Guru in Bangladesh for such music in the music industry. No doubt, he is the only one who is the best in Bangladesh - just one name, and that is James, which is why Nogor Baul is the best.

9 Black

Black is the only band in Bangladesh that embodies real love and pain in their songs. I recommend trying to love and listen to Black, not Artcell, Warfaze, or Aurthohin, as they are the gods of pain songs in almost the whole world.

Black! The first alternative rock band in Bangladesh. Their sound quality is so good! An uncommon band in our country. Maybe at first you can't take the songs as good, or maybe you will not understand the meaning of the lyrics. Keep listening. After some days, you will say, "Wow, what is this? What am I listening to?"... and you will keep listening to Black! Black is "Love"!

10 Vibe

Shuddho's vocal! Is that guy an alien or something? Such a nice voice and of course, all the other members of Vibe are also very talented. They know how to mix talent and composition together. I want them BACK! If any of the Vibe members are seeing this, then please guys, come back and release another album. We really want you guys on stage! You are the future legendary band of Bangladesh, though you guys are already considered as legends by many!

They have just won the hearts of so many people with just one song! Durey Durey is a very old song. Many people love it. But when they came out with Chena Jagat, people's minds were blown away! They are the best. All members are talented. And as I know, they are currently taking a break. I wish they get back soon! I love Warfaze too, but the old one. Sanjay Vai, Russel Vai, Kamal Vaiā€¦ they are too good! Legends! So Vibe will get the best vote.

The Contenders
11 Powersurge

Best thrash metal band from Bangladesh!
And they are the greatest here!

One of my favourite heavy metal bands.

Bangladeshi thrash metal legends.

12 Cryptic Fate Cryptic Fate is a progressive metal band from Bangladesh formed in the early 1990s. They started out as a heavy metal band. Their first studio album, Ends are Forever, was released in 1995.

Undoubtedly the best in Bangladesh. Their sound is very original. Besides, they have experimented across different genres, and the diversity of their music is astounding.

Cryptic Fate is the band and Sakib Bhai is THE MAN. He can sing a heart-touching love song, but he is a born rocker and always chooses to sing in a high pitch but sweet (or rough!) rock tone.

They are one of the best, if not the best, metal band in Bangladesh. All of their albums are great, especially the Danob album. Moreover, the drums and bass are as good as their guitars.

13 Chirkutt

I am a big fan of Chirkutt's guitarist.

Awesome guitar work and drumming, a good combination of fusion and rock.

14 Mechanix

Literally, this isn't the best place for this band! Tridib is one of the best heavy metal vocalists in Bangladesh. Dhruboshor, Elegy, Bisshoy, Kalobikkhob, Hawar Namey - some awesome music they have created. Love this heavy metal band.

15 Shunno

Shunno, beyond doubt! Just let some more years pass by, and you will see and know why they will be up there in the top.

Shunno has produced many good compositions so far. All of their songs are really awesome. I don't know what other people think about their songs, but I like them the most. They are young, smart, and energetic and deserve a thumbs up.

Shunno is the most talented band in Bangladesh. Extremely creative, their lyrics and rhythms are just awesome. I like Emil Vai and Michael. Love Labib and best wishes for Ishmamul.

16 Rock Strata

One of the pioneers of Heavy Metal/Rock songs. Rockstrata, the band that started the Metal revolution in Bangladesh back in the mid-80s. With other similar bands like In Dhaka, Rock Brigade, Aces, and Warfaze, Rockstrata started out in the late 80s and is still considered to be the first Metal band.

RS was the best at their time, and still, their album is the best for the composition, music, and lyrics.

Real pioneers of hard rock in Bangladesh.

17 De Illumination

This band is the pioneer of symphonic metal. So, it's a brave approach for them. And I really appreciate this band.

De-illumination is the first Symphonic Rock band in BD. It's a versatile band. Love it very much. Sazzad bro, Shams bro, Mithu bro, Aqib bro, and Anabeel bro are really awesome.

Symphonic metal! And The AngryMachine is here! Literally, Sazzad Arefin is a great guy. He is one of the best guitarists in Bangladesh. No doubts!

18 Karnival
19 Deadlock Deadlock is a German melodic death metal band from Schwarzenfeld, Bavaria, Germany. In 2010 they supported Lacuna Coil on tour.

It's a creative band! It's heavily influenced by Lamb of God!

20 Moruvumi

Hello, I'm Shukhon from (DHAKA) - Mirpur. Actually, this band is a very upcoming good band in Bangladesh's band history. They are all doing very well, getting bigger, more active, and growing more fur every day. I think all of their songs are very different types. They're all playing variations of retro garage and soul music - or bringing. You are going to make it. Love you, Moruvumi Band, and all of the band's members. Just keep at it and cheers.

Moruvumi = love...
None like this band... Their solo, composition, lyrics, title all have an extra different touch. Love it...

21 Ashes

Ashes is like a family among those who want to hear something about their pain which is stored in the heart. Ashes is not just a band, it's a family, it's a relation between music and pain. Finally, Zunayed Evan is the person who speaks to the ear of the people who want to shut their life lamp down by music and says that it's only you who have the rights to receive your pain and it's you who has the right to give love to them who gives you pains. ASHES A/

Ashes is one of the top underrated bands in Bangladesh. They have some awesome unique songs. They are doing really great at this time.

22 Dalchhut

Dalchhut is one of the most popular rock bands in Bangladesh.
I love all Dalchut's songs.

23 Ark

How is this band out of the top 100? Guys, what happened to your ears... They should be in the minimum top 5.
