Aurthohin, a Bangladeshi rock band, was formed in Dhaka in 1998 by Saidus Sumon (vocals and bass guitar), Tonmoy Rahman (lead guitar), Ponir (rhythm guitar), and Rumi Rahman (drums and percussion). The band made its debut with the album “Trimatrik” in 2000 through G-Series, featuring a unique lineup. This early period was instrumental in establishing their presence in the nascent Bangladeshi rock scene, laying the groundwork for a career characterized by musical exploration. The band quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach, which led to significant record deals and a growing fan base.
Over the years, Aurthohin has consistently evolved its sound, incorporating elements from genres such as djent, metalcore, heavy metal, punk rock, groove metal, alternative metal, hard rock, and folk music. Notably, Saidus Sumon’s interest in slap bass introduced funk-rock influences into their musical style. This versatility is evident across their discography, which includes eight studio albums and contributions to various mixed albums. Key milestones include their critically acclaimed album “Biborton” (2001) and the commercially successful “Aushomapto 2” (2011). The band received the Channel i best band of the year award in 2008 and the Citycell best band of the year award in 2011, affirming their impact on the music industry.
Aurthohin has navigated significant challenges, including lineup changes and frontman Sumon’s health issues, which led to temporary hiatuses and a reevaluation of their sound. Despite these obstacles, the band continued to produce music that addressed diverse lyrical themes, from social commentary to personal struggles, such as Sumon’s battle with cancer, which inspired their 2016 album “Cancer er Nishikabyo.” Their recent albums, “Phoenix er Diary 1” (2022) and the upcoming “Phoenixer Diary 2” (2025), reflect a modern sound influenced by Metalcore and Djent, described as ‘Bangla Nu-rock’ by Spotify. These albums feature collaborations with notable international musicians, reinforcing Aurthohin’s standing as a prominent and innovative rock act in Bangladesh.
