The uprising of Bangladesh Underground Metal

Mainstream bands have already released solo albums while underground bands are trying to promote themselves by performing their own numbers or cover numbers in concerts. Many popular bands like Artcell, Black, Cryptic Fate, The Watson Brothers have come from the underground circle and are still considered underground by most people as they still mostly play underground shows and are not widely popular throughout the country. The more successful bands eventually sign for a record label. G-series is becoming more and more popular for providing platforms to such underground bands. Genres such as alternative rock, heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal and gothic metal are increasingly popular among these bands.
Herein I have posted some good underground music from few Bangldesh bands

Cryptic Fate - Danob (2006)

Cryptic Fate is one of the top underground bands in Bangladesh, pioneering heavy metal. Cryptic Fate sees itself as a Heavy Metal band pure and simple. They are not bound to any particular form of metal as in thrash or progressive but like to play the whole spectrum of the genre. Originally influenced by classic 80s metal, the band’s sound has continued to mature and evolve into a unique style melding all sub-genres of metal. As they are growing older they are getting more mature music wise and that will inevitably affect their music as time goes on. Recent times have seen Cryptic Fate experiment with softer and darker aspects of rock music, but with the release of its third album, “Danob”, Cryptic Fate returns to what it does best – brutal, no-holds barred heavy metal. Formded in `1993, the band released their first album "Ends are forever" in 1995 which was completely in English. The second album "Shreshto" was released in 2002 was a huge success featuring the single "Protibaad". After then, the band released a few singles in various underground compilation albums. In 2006, after two years of writing and working, the band released their third album "Danob".

Artcell (or ArtCell) is a progressive metal band of Bangladesh. The band is arguably the first progressive metal band of the country and usually experiments with tunes from other metal genres such as heavy and thrash metal. This is the first rock group in South Asia who have sold over 20,000 copies of their album on the first day of release.
