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!

Aalo by Warfaze

"Aalo" is the fifth studio album by pioneer heavy metal band Warfaze. It was released in 2001 from Soundtek productions. Three distinct formats of this album exists: Cassette, Jewel Case (no lyrics booklet) and Soundtek's unique Long Paper box (which are mostly re-releases that sometime contain "silver" discs). This album was the fruit of a huge lineup change; Sunjoy left the country for the USA, and was replaced by new vocalist Mizan. Sumon also left the band to pursue a solo career where he would eventually form his band, Aurthohin; he was replaced by new bassist Biju. Iqbal Asif Jewel was replaced by Balam on guitars and vocals. Shams also became a full-time member from 1999 onward as a keyboardist. Along with veteran members Kamal and Tipu, the 6 member band released Aalo which gave birth to hits like "Hotasha", "Jotodurey", "Mrittu Aligi", "Nei Tumi" etc. This album had a distinct millennia feel and sound compared to their older releases.

The lineup of "Aalo" consisted of the following:

Mizan: Vocals
Kamal: Guitars
Balam: Guitars/Vocals
Shams: Keyboards
Biju: Bass
Tipu: Drums

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
