Warfaze is a Bangladeshi heavy metal band formed on 6 June 1984 in Dhaka by Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal, Meer, Helal, Naimul, and Bapi.

The first lineup of Warfaze in 1980 consisted of Bapi on vocals, Meer and Naimul on guitars, Kamal on bass, and Helal on drums.

This initial line-up underwent the first of many changes with Helal, Meer, and Bapi having to leave the band for personal reasons.

However, inspired by Maqsud, former vocalist of Feedback, the band performed their own Bangla songs at a concert arranged by BAMBA at the University of Dhaka on 26 April 1992.

"Obak Bhalobasha" is one of the fewest hit songs recorded by the band which weren't sung by their lead singers.

The song later got re-released on season 3 episode 3 of Coke Studio Bangla as part of Warfaze's Ruby Jubilee in 2024.

After completing the album, Russel Ali left the band to start a music career in the United States later that year.

During the same period, Iqbal Asif Jewel joined as a guitarist and second vocalist from another rock band, Legend.

Babna had to leave for his career and study in the U.S.A. and therefore he was replaced by Saidus Sumon who played for the Oshamajik album on 1 April 1998.

With a new and stable lineup since 2007 that had stayed together for almost more than 5 years then, the band went on to celebrate their silver jubilee at a gala concert, which featured performances from both past and present members of Warfaze at the Winter Garden, Hotel Sheraton, Dhaka.

The band continued to experiment with their sound with the release of a fusion album entitled Somorpon, merging elements of heavy metal with traditional Bangladeshi folk music as a tribute to Hason Raja, Lalon, and Baul Shah Abdul Karim working with Sumon's band Aurthohin and solo artist Habib Wahid.

With their absence, the band asked Faisal (from Metal Maze), Samir (from Powersurge), and Shrapnel Method to perform as guest members on live shows.

He used to perform jaw-dropping dive bombs, whammy pedal uses, melodic fast arpeggiated solos with sweep picking.

The legacy concert took place at Gulnaksha Hall, International Convention City in Bashundhara Residential Area (ICCB), Dhaka.

The celebration has brought together four of its past members – Babna Karim, Sunjoy, Balam, and Romel Ali along with their current line-up on stage.
