Popular hard rock band Warfaze are all set for their mega reunion concert to celebrate 30 years of music-making today at Gulnaksha Hall, International Convention City in Bashundhara Residential Area, Dhaka.
The celebration is bringing together four of its past members – Babna Karim, Sunjoy, Balam and Romel Ali – with its current line-up on the stage. Presented by mobile operator Robi Axiata Limited, the concert will take off at 2:30pm.
The band, one of the firsts to introduce hard rock and metal music in the country, was formed in 1984. Through the years, the band has experimented with different subgenres of hard rock and heavy metal. Their work has been inspiration for several bands in Bangladesh.
Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu, the band’s frontman and drummer, told the Dhaka Tribune : “It is a great achievement for the band that we have been able to keep creating music for the past 30 years. It is our fans’ love for us that has largely influenced us to stay on this track.”
Beside Tipu, the current line-up of the band has Mizan Rahman on lead vocals, Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal on lead guitar, Shams Mansoor Ghani on keyboards and vocals, and Naim Haque Roger on bass.
Oni Hasan, another member and guitarist, left the band a while ago to pursue higher studies in the UK. Samir Hafiz from Powersurge will fill in for Oni at the concert.
