revelations: part 1

There are times when life nudges you a little bit towards your destiny. The moments when you just know this is how its supposed to be, and for me it was when I saw Nemesis.

They were the epitomy of high school idols, ‘boro bhais‘ who had just discovered the dream of being rockstars (yeah thats what we ‘chhoto bhais‘ thought of them). These were the guys who taught us what music was, what ‘cool‘ was…..and sure enough, every time they took the stage, there was a pint sized legion  of loyal fans.

Nondito, Ratul, Maher, Zohad (2002)

Zohad, Maher, Ratul, Nondito and Yawar were people like us, who had just stepped into the unknown. And for the first time ever, these guys unknowingly gave me a reason for my existence, which up until that point, I had no clue about. They taught me music beyond the mere facade of it, of how to channel my thoughts and emotions into a purely musical form. THIS was what I was born to do.

Nemesis – New Day

Unofficially claimed to be the first Nemesis track, ‘New Day‘ was recorded in 2002 with the original line up consisting of Zohad (Vocals) Maher (Guitars) Nondito (Guitars) Ratul (Bass) and Yawar (Drums)

    Being a huge, HUGE fan of rock, I have to confess rather embarrassingly, that I was very much in dark about the local scene in Bangladesh, till very recently. I listened to what the guys are doing here, and I was very impressed. According to one of my friends, a Bangladeshi guy plays for the Nine Inch Nails, which is a great achievement. So it is only a matter of time that one of our homegrown bands starts getting some international exposure, like the bands from Malaysia, Philipines and that region are doing. Perhaps your band will be the one!
