The name ``Artcell`` was decided upon
because it was softer sounding than a typical heavy metal name. in Cezanne and
Shaju’s words:
Even though we
were a heavy metal band when we started, we didn’t want a heavy metal name. We
wanted a softer or an artistic touch to the heavy metal side. `Cells where art
is produced`- that was pretty much the basic idea behind the name Artcell. According to the bassist of the
band, Cezanne: ``Our inspiration was Metallica, but we would like to label
ourselves as a `progressive rock band`.``
Onno Shomoy(1999-2002):
In 2002, Artcell released their first album `Onno Shomoy`. It was both critically and commercially successful.
The band lost its main songwriter Rupok to cerebral malaria while working on
this album. Onno Shomoy was dedicated
to him. One of the songs was titled ``Rupok-Ekti gaan`` in his memory.
Artcell spent four years carrying out experiments
with their music without releasing an album after the success of Onno Shomoy. Although they did release
singles scattered in various albums by other bands or compilation albums. Their
second studio album Aniket Prantor
came in April, 2006. The album was one of the top sellers of the year and in
May the band performed their second solo concert at Dhaka’s Bashundhara
Convention Centre.
Onwards(2007-2012):
Artcell celebrated its 10th anniversary
on October 23, in 2009 at Dhaka Sheraton Hotel where also attended leading
bands like Feedback, Miles, Warfaze
and Aurthohin, who’s inspired Artcell during the last 10 years. A DVD
of the concert was due to be released in 2010. Artcell continue to regularly perform live shows and they have also
made many tours out of Dhaka, including Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi and Sylhet
with tours in India. In 2009 the band took part in ``International Coastal
Cleanup 2009,`` a day-long beach clean-up movement at the Cox’s Bazar sea
beach.
