Saidus Salehin Khaled (Sumon, Bassbaba) left 'Feelings' in 1993 and decided to work on a
solo album. With the help of his friends and fellow musicians, he released the album titled
'Sumon o Aurthohin' in 1997. The album got positive reviews from fans and critics. In 1998,
Sumon then decided form a band. Sentu (bass) and Titi (Drums) of 'Faith' joined him and
they started performing under the name 'Sumon o Aurthohin'. The band then also consisted
of Zubair on flute, Adnan on percussions and Tonmoy on Guitars.
Members & Albums
Tritmatrik
In October 1999, Titi and Sentu had to leave the band as they had to make time for their
own band 'Faith'. Rumie, the drummer of 'The Trap' joined in. Sumon changed the name of
the band to 'Aurthohin'. Zubair and Adnan left the band few months later. Later, Shovon
came in as a guitarist & vocalist. Early 2000, Piklu, guitarist of 'Maqsood o Dhaka' joined in
with the departure of Shovon and Tonmoy due to educational reasons. Two other guitarists
Russell (Winning) and Ponir (The Gnomes) also joined Aurthohin. They started recording
their first
album 'Tritmatrik' in April, 2000 and released by the end of that year.
Biborton
The band again faced difficulties when Rumie left in early 2001. Shuvo, ex-drummer of Jolly
Roger, Psycho Death and Deathrow came in as new drummer. They released their second
album 'Biborton in late 2001. Soon after the album got released, Russell left the band.
Notun Diner Michile
Imtiaz of 'Kronic' joined the band as a guest vocalist and rhythm guitarist. Aurthohin has
released their 3rd album "Notun Diner Michhile" in November 2002, which includes 'Shaat
Din', a 28 minute long progressive metal song (the longest song by a Bangladeshi band).
Dhrubok
Imtiaz left the band. Aurthohin decided not to take any more guest members. Shishir of dNA
joined the band as the new keyboardist and guitarist. Suddenly, the band faced the biggest
problem ever. Sumon got sick. Doctor told him that he won't be able to sing like before.
Sumon had to stop singing most of the metal songs. Aurthohin decided to take a new
vocalist.
Rafa (the drummer of Kral) joined the band as the vocalist and also a guitarist. Aurthohin's
4th album 'Dhrubok' got released in 2003. Due to Sumon’s illness the band stopped almost
all the gigs. At the end of 2004 Piklu left the band. Sumon got the affiliation from MTD
(Michael Tobias Design). In 2005 Sumon's jaw got dislocated.
Doctors told him to give up singing permanently. Chances of recovery were very low.
Aurthohin stopped all their activities. Sumon and the others were planning to disband. But
suddenly things began to change. Sumon was getting well. Doctors considered it as a
miracle.
Aushamapto coming soon...
Aurthohin performed with the same line up until 2006. Kamal of Warfaze joined as a guest
guitarist. After doing a few gigs Sumon offered him a permanent place which he accepted.
Now Aurthohin are preparing their new album 'Aushamapto' which is set to be released later
this year.
