Moharaaj by Warfaze

"Moharaaj" is the 6th studio album by pioneer heavy metal band Warfaze. It was released in June of 2003 from Ektaar Music in three distinct formats: Cassette, Jewel Case CD and Paperback CD. The overall theme and concept behind Moharaaj was political turmoil and how mass people suffered and fought for their rights, even when a country that ran on democracy. This album was also the fruit of a lineup change like their previous album, Aalo. After the release of that album however, Kamal decided to take a break after being in music for almost 20 years almost continuously. In this situation, the band recruited Sazzad, lead guitarist of another metal band, Metal Maze. Warfaze did a lot of shows in this lineup but in 2002, Biju (the bassist) had to leave for Canada. In his place, the band recruited Cezzane of popular progressive metal band, Artcell. After quite a lot of shows, the band went through another change when vocalist Mizan left the band due to personal reasons and to pursue a solo music career. So for the first time ever, Warfaze had only one active lead vocal in their lineup and it was Balam, who already sang three notable songs in "Aalo" and was deemed quite worthy of the vocal duties. By this time however, Kamal decided to rejoin the band and Warfaze returned to the studio to record Moharaaj. The new album had commercial hits and produced quite a few music videos. Throughout all this time, Tipu contributed heavily in leading the band. Mascot Monem's Warfaze logo made yet another return, while Monty contributed with the Photography and Management. Moharaaj was dedicated to the peace-loving people of Bangladesh, who still dream for a better world.

The lineup of Moharaaj consisted of:

Balam: Guitars, Vocals
Kamal: Guitars
Sazzad: Guitars
Shams: Keyboards
Cezanne: Bass
Tipu: Drums, Percussion
