I'm an avid Bangla music album collector in this hobby since 2012. Having grown up in the "Underground" era of Bangla band music, I took the initiative to archive and upload album artworks. Till now, I've been recognised and acknowledged by various artists, bands, streaming and label companies for my work on Bangla CD Covers. There's a high chance most artwork you see floating around the internet are scanned by me!

Jibon Dhara by Warfaze

"Jibon Dhara" is the third studio album of pioneer heavy metal band Warfaze. It was released in 1997 from Soundtek initially on Cassette and in later in 2001 on CD Jewel Case formats. Later the CD was re-released in a long paper box like Soundtek's many releases at the time in 2001. The album is also the last time where Sunjoy, Babna, Kamal, Tipu and Fuad would play together on the same album. Russel Ali had also left the band to persue a music career in the United states. The album therefore holds much importance in Warfaze's discography, with the band achieving commercial success with tracks like "Mounota", "Dhupchaya", "Tumi", "Rupachad" and the title track, "Jibon Dhara". Just like their previous album Obak Bhalobasha, Jibon Dhara featured full custom artwork by Jahangir Hyder who also contributed heavily with the lyrics for the album. The timeless logo designed by Mascot Monem also made a worthy return. Coca-cola was one of the sponsors of the original release of the album.

Jewel (who was playing in the band Legend at the time) and Ruchi contributed heavily on harmony vocals and choir for this album.

The lineup of "Jibon Dhara" consisted of the following:

Sunjoy: Lead Vocals
Kamal: Lead Guitars
Fuad: Keyboards, Rhythm Guitars, Percussion
Babna: Lead Vocals, Harmony Vocals, Bass, Rhythm Guitars
Tipu: Drums, Percussion

The album is available for streaming from the official YouTube channel of Warfaze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmTQeFkCzRQ&list=PLmjvBJVj7QkCDPJiFxwW8WLubvNQmIqOO

The album can be streamed legally using the GAAN app available on both Android & iOS.

**Given the rarity of the Jewel Case release, the Front and Back covers were re-created by me from original reference images. This version has only a front inlay (not pictured), but no back inlay as well as no lyrics booklet (similar to Aalo's Jewel Case release).

A Few Words

Welcome to Bangla CD Covers. I'm on a quest to collect Artwork of CDs that are no longer in print. Here is a table to let you know what I already have here - * Coloured fields are the things I currently don't have, mainly because those are paperbacks and not the usual Jewel Case version that are known to exist and I haven't come across yet. * N/A depicts 'Not Applicable', meaning they haven't been made even in Jewel Case versions. NOTE - If you have the things in the coloured fields please help me out in completing my goal. Scan the particular and comment on the box below. *Agontuk 2 maybe a re-release paperback, still looking for the original Jewel Case.

Paper Rhyme by Paper Rhyme

"Paper Rhyme" is the debut self-titled album by popular Bangladeshi '90s pop-rock band Paper Rhyme . It was released in 1996 from Soundtek in cassette format. Nearing the millennium, it received a CD release on "Silver Disc". Paper Rhyme was a band that formed in 1992, with the lineup of: Ahmed Saad , Nasser Haque , Rashed Iqbal , Aninda Kabir Avik and Schumann Zaman . Rashed and Nasser were part of popular pop-rock trio "Masrur-Rashed-Nasser" , with two albums called Lesson-1 and Lesson-2 . The band produced only one album and then "disappeared" as they like to say it after '96, but actually the band members went their different ways in life. They were in hiatus until in 2017, when they reunited (with the absence of Rashed Iqbal) for one last studio performance in a '90s bands compilation album called "Abar" , with the song, "Darao Bondhu" . Paper Rhyme's biggest hit to this day is the song called "On
