"Oprostut Juddho" is the debut album by Djuice D'Rockstars season 2 winner thrash metal band, Powersurge. It released a year after their win from G-Series in September of 2008 in paperback format. The album was quintessential in cementing Powersurge as a force to be reckoned with as well as a band that hailed from the underground, very much like the other established bands from the early 2000s underground scene. The entire album revolves around patriotism and revolt amidst pain and suffering. Raef Al Hasan Rafa (of Aurthohin & Kral fame at that time), produced this album and he mentions in the album sleeves that he had been determined to produce the heaviest sounding album that Bangladesh has ever heard. Truly, the album speaks for itself and remains as a milestone for thrash metal in the Bangladeshi band music scenario. The artwork for the album as well as the logo was done by Dhanad Islam. Photography was done by Shaibal. Rafa provided the chorus for the track "Shadhinotar Barta".
In January 2006, Guitarist Saimum Hasan Nahian (of 666 fame, the band which renamed itself to Severe Dementia) with Drummer Samiul Islam decided to form a thrash metal band from various American and German thrash/heavy metal influences. After the initial forming, the band was completed by March 2006 starting with Jamshed Chowdhury on vocals, Golam Samir Hafiz Khan on guitars and Arefin Ahmed Saeed on bass. The band immediately started performing in underground shows, where they were gaining rapid popularity because of their aggressive style and vicious stage acts. The underground crowds were overwhelmed and accepted Powersurge’s Thrash dominion for their rock-solid performances and song qualities. In the middle of 2006, Powersurge had their first single “Durboddho Monushotto” released in the mixed band compilation album “Underground” by Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal (of Aurthohin/ex-Warfaze fame at the time), where the song itself was much more of an experimental track apart from the Powersurge thrash style. Now, the band was moving forward with success in the underground gigs, while the huge was yet to come.
In 2007, Powersurge became the Champions of GrameenPhone's DRockstars2, the second and final season of the nation-wide rock/metal band hunt competition conceptualized by their youth-oriented offering, Djuice, beating other underground bands like Radioactive, Mechanix, Dark etc. The band achieved an image of being an icon in both the underground and mainstream scenes. This was also fulfilling the sole motto of the band - that is to build a firm and solid spot for Thrash Metal music in Bangladesh. The band proceeded to release their debut album the following year as part of the winning prize record deal with G-Series.
