Stentorian:
Dhaka January 7 2001 Stentorian forms; just the name implies the image of performing loud music on and off stage. The perfect group for heavy metal--the next phase of heavy rock music. Critics and fans alike have tried to classify this 6-piece group from the pounding music industry of Dhaka, with terms like "pure metal", "classic thrash metal for the new age" or "modern day power metal". Whatever anybody wants to call them, they must add catchy and energetic, as they inspire people to continue to press replay when the mixed CD containing the band's song is in their stereo and let's-go-see-them-again, when they play live.

Stentorians history can be divided into two eras. Torsha era and Tanim era. Torsha era was the beginning and a kickstart of Stentorians journey. First line-up also was included of James (guitar), Shams (bass), Golam (guitar), Bobby (drum) & Nawshad (Manager). It was on 27th October in the Indian High Commission Auditorium. From the very first show, Stentorian had a kick start--as the hall room became darker with fancy lighting, the first guitar strum with heavy distortions and that screaming voice of Torsha with his hand gestures and the huge applaud from the crowd, it was unbelievable and magical. After a while Golam left the band for higher studies. But the band was still doing shows & also writing songs. While Stentorian got its first big break to participate in Aguntuk -2 (which was a dream come true for almost any band) we had to sacrifice Torsha because thats when he left Bangladesh for higher studies. But we somehow managed to record the vocal track for Adrissho Juddho & Bhoy at Sound garden. In the mean time while Stentorian was down to three members only, from when the Tanim era started.

In 2004, when Stentorians fate was at stake and members were thinking about breaking up and forming own projects, Torsha who was still with the band suggested his childhood friends name who was none other than Tanim. After Torshas repeated request Tanim joined Stentorian in September 2004. In his first concert with Stentorian, he practically smashed all the bands away and put a full-stop to the just-standing-up-with-a-microphone age with his energetic, unique, extra-ordinary, aggressive and powerful performance. Thus, Stentorians golden age started. Tutul (guitar) and Rafiul (drums) also joined stentorian at the same time. With Tanims powerful performance and unique ability of delivering in both baritone and tenor range, James and Tutuls powerful guitar playing along with Rafiuls drums and Shams bass playing; it was not a surprise that Stentorian had performed more than 100 concerts at 2005 and was quoted as The most popular band of underground in so many places including internet forums, newspaper, magazines etc. With the release of Bishonno Adhaar in Agontuk-3 in which the band featured Bassbaba, Stentorians popularity took another leap and went on a whole different level. 2005 October, Stentorian released its debut album Protimuhurte which was a huge success nationwide. In 2006, Tanim left Stentorian due to some personal problems and other conflicts. Mashfiat was taken as a substitute, but unfortunately he failed to fulfill Torsha and Tanims gap. Tanim rejoined Stentorian in January 2008 and once again started with a stunning performance at Russian Cultural Center at 11th January, 2008. A young blood Anabeel joined as Shams replacement.


Line up:
Tanim - Vocals
Tutul - Guitars
James - Guitars
Rafiul - Drums
Anabeel - Bassist


BassBaba:
Full Name: Saidus Salehin Khaled (Sumon A.K.A. Bassbaba)
DOB: 8th January, 1973

He taps, he slaps
He rocks the guitar with a zap!
He plays a rollicking frolicking bass beat
In the winter chill and even in the hot scorching summer heat...
His words amplify about hades to the Kabba
So ladies n gentlemenlemme introduce to you Bassbaba :-)

Now that the bass beast unleashed, here is a little about him. Sumon a.k.a. Bassbaba is an animated and emotional human being. His voice is soothing and melodichis bass playing very creative, which illustrates a high level of potent energy and that makes him one of the most celebrated musicians of Bangladesh. His compositions always boast a voracious appetite for expression and that makes all of his songs interesting listens.
