In 1993 Sumon quit 'Feelings' and started to work on his first solo project "SUMON O' AURTHOHIN". One of the most exciting parts of the album was the song with eight of the finest heavy metal guitarists in town! There were twenty eight guitar/bass solos in that song, and the name of the song was 'Aurthohin'. The history was made!
Though work on the album was done long time ago, it was finally released in Eid of 1997. People liked the album which also got positive review from the critics.

Sumon changed the name of the band to 'Aurthohin'. Zubair & Adnan left the band few months later. Until now, the band's sound was more 'unplugged'. To bring more variety to the sound, Shovon came in as a guitarist & vocalist.

Imtiaz & Apu left the band. Aurthohin decided not to take any more guest members. Shishir of dNA joined the band as the new keyboardist & guitarist. Suddenly, the band faced the biggest problem ever! Sumon got ill. Doctor told him that he won't be able to sing like before. Sumon had to stop singing most of the metal songs. Aurthohin decided to take a new vocalist.

Suddenly things started to change! Sumon was getting well! Doctor said it was a miracle!
In June 2005 Sumon started to sing again & offered Kamal (Ex-Guitarist of Warfaze) to play as a guest member. Kamal took the offer. A few months later Kamal joined as a permanent member!

Warfaze
Back in 1991, Bangladesh was used to with pop , folk , etc kind of music . A very small amount of people used to listen to hard rock and heavy music which was in English . Back in those days, even musicians could not think of doing some rock music. Suddenly there came out a different sound, such as high pitched vocals, fast guitars with distortion, blood pumping drum bits, and thought full lyrics with new type of tunes. That was nothing but the first album of warfaze.
Listeners ran up to shops to check out this unique sound and it got deep in their hearts soon. Thus mass people knew the bengali sound of hard rock and heavy metal. Warfaze was actually formed back in 1984 , Kamal, Mir, Hell, Naimul and Bappy started a line up and after a very short time Tipu joined the band as drummer and band leader. They started the journey to do some real good hard rock and heavy metal music in bangladesh. It seemed successful when the first album came out in 1991 with the line up of: Vocals-Sunjay , guitars- Kamal , keyboard/guitars-Russel, bass-Babna ,drums -Tipu.
After the first album , Kamal and Russel left for their studies abroad , it was very much tuff to keep the band alive when half of the members are abroad. Though Tipu Sticked to the band and kept contact with the members ,when Kamal or Russel came for vacation, Tipu held the recording sessions , this way they finished he second album- OBAK BHALOBASHA ,which was a big hit. Then again, problems showed up. Russel had to leave for usa for good after releasing second album.
Fuad joined the band and started working for the third album ''jibondhara". It came out in 1997 and smashed out to be a big hit. But once again Babna had to leave the band and move to the United States. Replacing Babna, Sumon joined the band on bass , Jewel on guitars and vocals. Warfaze released the fourth album-OSHAMAJIK in 1998 , as warfazes tradition, it also came out to be a hit. Then came out the biggest problem to face , Sunjay -lead vocal had to leave for his personal problems . It was a really tuff job to find out the replacement of sunjay , The band stood still for 2 years and in 2000 the found out Mizan for lead vocals .
In the same time Balam joined the band as guitarist and second vocalist, Shams on keyboards , Biju took the bass, and Kamal and Tipu stood still on guitars and drums. They released their 5th album-ALO ,this album also went out a hit . After the album alo, Kamal was unable to maintain the band for his family and business problems , in this situation Sazzad joined the band full time in guitars. Warfaze did lot of shows in that line up. But again in 2002 february , the bassist biju had to leave for canada. Cezan from artcell joined in and still warfaze did a lot of shows with the line up. Then in the middle of 2002 , it seemed warfaze got a bad luck in vocals , Mizan left the band for his business and solo carriere, Balam the 2nd vocalist came out to be the main vocalist as he was very much sufficient for the job. By that time Kamal rejoined the band again. And warfaze started recording of their 6th album which was named ''MOHARAJ''.
This album was released on june 2003 with the line up of: Balam:lead vocals,guitars Kamal : guitars Sazzad: guitars, vocals Shams: keyboards Cezan : bass Tipu :Drums and percussion and bandleader Monty : Band management and photography No doubt warfaze fought for music and will always and this was proved again when Cezan left the band due to be in too much pressure playing in two bands-Artcell and Warfaze and also for his studies.Shagor took the bass for a short time but then Roger(Metal-Maze)joined in warfaze to continue the traditional bass. One thing must be mentioned that Tipu deserves a big credit to hold warfaze still loud and proud.

Discography of Souls
In 1980 they released their debut album Super The Souls,which was the first album to be released by a music group in Bangladesh [some claims the band “Shocking Blue” released their albums first], it was an instant and huge hit. The song ‘Mon Shudhu Mon Chuyeche’is to this day, one of the biggest hits of Bangladeshi music.
Many of you may not know this but, the Kumar Bishwajit hit Torey Putuler Moto Kore Shajiye is a Souls’ track from their debut album. Abdullah-Al-Mamoon wrote the lyrics of both this song, and of "Mukhorito Jibon".
In 1982 they released their second album Colleger Er Corridorey, again to wide popularity. The songs “College Er Corridorey”, “Forrest Hill Er", “Football Football”, “Khujish Jaharey” and “Paharer AkaBaka” were on everyone's lips at that time. And Tapan Choudhury became a heart throb to many young girls.
In 1987 a reconfigured Souls, released their third album, Manush Matir Kacha Kachi which was the first of their albums to garner a decidedly mixed reaction from fans. Still the songs “Eitoh Ekhane Brishti Bheja”, “Ek Jhaak Paakhi” and “Muthor Bhetor Poddo” were quite a hit with the public.
In 1988 they released their 4th album East And West which had six English and six Bangla songs. Even though they started their career singing English songs, this is the first time they released them. The songs were all written and composed by the band.
In 1989 they release their 5th album E Emon Porichoy, which was Tapan's last appearance in Souls.
In 1992 they released their 6th album Aj Din Katuk Gaane, which saw an upturn in their fortune with their fans, with the super hit song “Keno Ei Nisshongota” sung by Partho. Also Nasim’s song “Bestota’ was a huge hit.
After a long hiatus in 1997 souls released their next album Oshomoyer Gaan which failed to create an immediate impact, but went on to eventually gain some recognition - Oshomoyer Gaan, Ami Ar Bhabbo Na, Oi Dure Neel, to name a few of the more popular hits.
In 2000 they released their first unplugged album Mukhorito Jibon – compiled of some old hit songs, some remakes of old Indian Bangla songs along with some of their new songs. “Sharadin Tomay Behbe”, “Bashi Shune Ar”, “Mukhorito Jibon” – were some of the more widely played tracks from the album.
Later on they released their 9th and 10th album Tarar Uthan and To-Let. To-Let was the last album that sound engineer Mobin worked on before his untimely death.
Their most recent album to date is Jhut-Jhamela was released in 2006. The title song Jhut Jhamela which is about the chaos in every day life and the society, was a hit which re-introduced souls to the new generation of Bangladeshi music listeners.

Happy Akhand
Most of You remember...
►►" Abar elo je shondha".....by Happy Akhand
This classic song was sung by short lived Legendary POP singer Happy Akhand. His works survived by his brother Lucky Akhand, after his untimely death in 80s.
The Akhand Brothers (Lucky and Happy) created the hype in the music industry with their straight-down-the-line magnetic songs around early and late 70's.
Happy Akhand's "Abar elo je shondha" is a milestone and probably is one of the dearest songs ever produced. His premature death was a big blow to all the musicians who were influenced by Happy's passion for music and had now lost a pioneering figure of Bangla pop music.
On the other side, Lucky's "Ei Nil Monihar" is probably one of the best song ever composed. It stunned the nation with its powerful melody and inspired thousands of composers and music lovers alike.
MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL......
