Category: Music - Rock
Genre: Melo rock, Heavy metal, Progressive rock...

Saeed - Guitars & Vocals
Saad - Drums
Swajib - Bass
Mustahseen - Keyboards


¤¤¤ Coversongs:


Iron maiden, Megadeth, COF, Europe, SOAD, Warfaze, Miles, LRB...

How it began:

Well, the current lineup of TRS came after a lot of changes. All three of us were doing music seperately. Saeed was in a band from his school as a guitarist, Shuvo was a part time guitarist in his elder brothers band METALLUST and Saad was then learning drums and doing some music on his own.
After our SSC exam we all got admitted in Notre Dame College. Saad was showing promising skills in drumming, so he was recruited in Saeed's old band as a drummer. But the band lacked a lead guitarist. At that time Shuvo & Saad were in the same same group at NDC. When they came to know each other, Saad found out that Shuvo plays guitar. So he invited him to do a practise jam.
And when the three of us sat together in a jam, the band realised that it had found its rhythm. All of the members of the band had the same taste for music, and the combination made TRS what it is today.
Then the old lineup transformed into what it is today. Our ex-vocal Mithun left the band due to academic reasons, but the band didn't feel the need for a separate vocal as Shuvo and Saeed both possessed decent voice capability. So in about September 2006, the initial lineup of TRS was formed.

News:

TRS performed live at BUET civil festival on 29th may 2009.
We covered the following songs...
Chaite paro - Aurthohin
Trooper - Iron Maiden

Description:

HERESY is a rising underground band in the metal scene of BD. The band was initially formed by two friends Shafayat and Samiul. Afterwards Tishat, a close friend of them joined the band as the rhythm guitarist. They were in search of a good drummer to start practicing. After quite a long search, they found Shahrukh through a friend. Shahrukh did a number of jamming sessions with them. After all this, they got a chance to prove themselves in their first show. Shahrukh couldn't continue playing with the band due to personal reasons. HERESY also needed a standalone vocalist for covering more complicated songs which needed full bass playing concentration. Hence a friend of Shafayat named Tauseef stepped in as the main vocalist. Few days later, Heaven joined as the drummer. HERESY is committed to present some real head banging good music to all the metalheads and headbangers out there.

Genres:Rock, Progressive Rock, Heavy Met
Years active:1999 – present
Labels:G Series
Associated acts: Tantrikal

Members
Cezanne - Bass Guitar
Ershad - Lead Guitar
Lincoln -Vocals & Rhythm Guitar
Shaju -Drums
Former members-Rupok

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.
