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!

Oparthib by Scarecrow

"Oparthib" is the debut album by metal band Scarecrow. They are a reputed band hailing from the underground era of Bangladeshi Band music. Before this, they had released two songs, "Dure Kothao" and "Deyal Bhange" in two legendary band mixed albums co-ordinated by Isha Khan Durey, respectively "Din Bodol" and "Lokayot" in 2004. Following that, they acquired a record deal from G-Series and released "Oparthib" in 2006. The album garnered a huge response from the UG scene fanbase. During that time, the album also maintained top position for more than a month in the "Rising Star Underground Albums' Rankings". Scarecrow is heavily influenced by Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, Dream Theater, Inflames & Soilwork. In addition to that, Bangladeshi bands such as Rockstrata, Warfaze and Cryptic Fate also influenced the band.

The lineup for "Oparthib" consisted of the following:

Tanvir: Vocals & Guitars

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
