Isha Khan Duray And His New Album Hatiar

Isha Khan Duray:

Now a days there are many musical bands who are performing and releasing many types of songs and are getting success. But in a time none knew about these bands.They were solely dependent upon the national radio station and BTV. It was a very tough time for all of them.Then a musician released some mixed albums with these bands and the bands proved their talents. And Isha Khan Duray is one of them.  He had has the vision of finding and promoting new talents.

History:

Around 1988 first Isha Khan Duray listened  and thought about music deeply. At that time some bands started to came in the scene. Bands like Winning, Obscure, Chime,  Miles, and Feelings were among those who have started to give a new taste to him. And in the earlier of 1990  bands like Warfaze and Feedback formed. Then Isha Khan Duray  got crazy when he heard their first albums. For music he also got into politics.

At a time of his life, he thoughts about the young guns such as Mysteria, Cryptic Fate, Koprophilia, Artcell etc and wanted to do something for them. This was when he got the idea of working with these young guns. He used to see these new bands performing in various clubs and auditoriums in Dhaka, and then he got this idea that, he used to go to G-Series at that time to buy cassettes and CDs and he got connected with the owner, Mr. Khalid and asked him one day if duay could work with the new faces. Thankfully, Mr.Khalid said yes. He helped Cryptic Fate to launch their long awaited second album Srestho in 2002. They have tried for four to five years to launch it and there it was. Before that, though, he got the news that the late Azam Khan have stared to work with new bands. Thanks to his idea duray started to promote new faces to the public and really.

The first album, which has been produced by him, was in 2000 titled Charpotro. It was because of brother Azam that he have met some of the bands he was working with. Artcell, Black, Metal Maze were some of the bands whom he’ve met. Then Duray managed two members of each band from Black, Artcell, Metal Maze, Cryptic Fate, and told them to post all the posters everywhere. All of us went to every music store and urged them to promote new bands as most of these bands were releasing their very first songs. he still remember that we used to post all the posters night after night. Mr. Khalid also came and gave him the company. After the release of the album, Ferdous Bappy helped him promote it through Channel I and then on a TV musical program Pepsi Music Express; he took separate interviews of each band. ferdous really helped them a lot. After that Isha Khan Duray released Charpotro (2000), Onushilon (2001), Din Bodol (2002), Projonmo (with Ajam Khan) (2002), Lokayot (2003) and every time he got success.

Aurthohin

Aurthohin band was first started in 1993 with huge confidence. I think that, from the beginning the band got popularity. The band is a hard rock and metal band. The main band member of this band is Sumon who is usually known as Bassbaba to his fans. First sumon was the member of Interest (Nogor Baul). Then he leave that band and joined to Warfaze and worked for the album Oshamajik. After that Sumon, Babna, Sanjoy made a project. At that time the name of the project was Sumon o Aurthohin. In 1997 they started a band with Sumon, Tonmoy, Shuvo & Piklu and the band name was Aurthohin. After that all other band members leave te band without sumon and then rafa, kamal & shishir joined the band. Till now, the band released 6 albums. And without this the band released many songs in the mixed albums.  In every time they got more response and huge confidence. Their albums are Trimatrik (2000), Biborton (2001), Notun Diner Michile (2002), Dhrubok (2003), Aushamapto-1 (2008), Aushamapto-2 (2011).


But in 2004 after releasing their 4th album, Dhrubok Sumon became sick and for that the band was almost stopped.  Sumon got the affiliation from MTD (Michael Tobias Design) and his doctor told him to stop singing permanently.And that time their guitarist Piklu left the band. It was a very difficult time for the band. But the band didn't stop and tried hard to continue the band. Then one time they decided to disband. But I think that the Almighty Allah didn't want it. It was such a miracle that Sumon was getting well. Then Kamal, the guitarist of Warfaze joined this band. After that the band again started for their next mission, their 5th album.

After about 5 years later, in 2008 the band released their 5th album, Aushomapto 1 and it was their another success. The tracks were amazing and from this album they finished the series of Guti. There were also a series track, Chaite Paro 2 & the response from the young generation was awesome. And also added a hard metal song Nikrishto.


After 3 years later the band released their 6th album titled Aushomapto 2. I have no language to describe the success of this album. In my wards it one of the ever green album. There are some series tracks, Anmone 2, Odhbut Shei Chaleti 3, Shurjo 2 & Nikrishto 2. All the credits of the success of Nikrishto & Nikrishto goes to Rafa.
