Stentorian at a glance

Stentorian is a Bangladeshi heavy metal band formed in 2001. Stentorian released one commercially successful album "Protimuhurtey" and several commercially successful singles. Their most notable songs include Adrissho Juddho, Bishonno Adhaar, Bidrohi, Jolosrot, Anubhuti, Mone pore na and most recently Chhobi. Stentorian is regarded as one of the pioneers of underground heavy metal music movement which re-energized heavy metal in Bangladesh in this current decade. Perhaps Stentorian is most notable for being lead by two of the greatest Bangladeshi rock vocalists of all time, Torsha Khan and Tanim Sufyani.

 

Stentorian is typically classified as heavy metal, but it ranges from soft rock, power ballad to thrash metal and most recently progressive metal. Stentorian's approach has remained the same over the band's career, preferring to play what they enjoy and do best; their appreciation of early rock and heavy metal is reflected in some of their occasional cover songs. Stentrorian's heavy metal lyrics typically cover such topics as war, good versus evil, abuse of power, psychological depressions, substance abuse, social problems, politics, sexual abuse and perversion. Unlike so many other typical metal bands, Stentorian's soft music lyric cover love, affection and emotional appeal. Perhaps their greatest achievement is the success of the single Bishonno Adhaar (featuring Bassbaba Sumon from Aurthohin) which was ranked as the best heavy metal song of 2005.
