Formation
Prior to the the band, the four current members who were school friends from Dhaka, used to get together to play Metallica songs. Eventually Ershad came up with compositions of his own and the group began to play them at shows. The response they got was encouraging, which led to the formation of a band. What started off as an underground band is now one of the most recognized mainstream bands in Bengali music.
The name "Artcell" was decided upon because it was softer sounding than a typical heavy metal name. In Cezanne and Shaju's words Even though we were a heavy metal band when we started, we didn't want a heavy metal name. We wanted a softer or an artistic touch to the heavy metal side. 'Cells where art is produced' - that was pretty much the basic idea behind the name 'Artcell.' Ershad came up with it and we all opted for it.
