| Band biography |
Wahed goes to USA while Shakib and Sarfaraz join Independent University of Bangladesh (IUB), Dhaka. Here Shakib becomes good friend with Farhan. In 1996 the band does some composing in the summer for one month only to realise that they don’t have the ability to play them yet. In December, Shakib is invited by Thrashold (a metal band) to perform in a concert in January at ICMA Auditorium.
1997 - 1st Concert: Cryptic Fate makes a list of 18 songs for the concert at ICMA Auditorium and practices them for 4 days. The band opens with their title track from “Ends Are Forever” and goes on to sing the whole album. The Audience goes wild and the concert was a huge success for Cryptic Fate.Summer, 2nd Album: The band gets together in summer and re-records all the materials they had recorded in 1996. Once again they record their whole album in Soundgarden studio. They name the album “Sreshtho”. (Line up during the album: Shakib-voc,bg, Sarfaraz-g, Wahed-g, Farshed-dr). The rest of the year the band searches for a production company to release album.
In 1998 Manzur, a friend from IUB, joins the band as a drummer. Cryptic Fate also decides to try out Farhan as a rhythm guitarist. They perform in a concert at Agargaon Community Center. Impressed by his skills, Shakib asks Farhan to join the band (on July 12th). Farhan gladly accepts the proposal. The band is offered a concert at the end of July. Due to absence of Sarfaraz, Cryptic fate decides to take Emon (from Jolly Rogers) as the guest lead guitarist and Farhan as the rhythm guitarist. Emon proves unable to handle the leads and Farhan is asked to take over. He does a great job and the band performs great in the concert. The band does two more concerts in the year with help from Gibran (Dethrow) and Rinku as support guitarists.
Sarfaraz and Farshed return in the summer 1999 and the band decides to organize their own concert. Together with "Tantrik", "Kopprophilia" and "Dethrow", they organize a concert in mid July. The band prepares 18 songs for the concert and blows the audience away. The concert was a huge success. The year later Cryptic Fate performs in quite a few concerts with good success. Arafat joined the band as guest drummer. The high light of the year is the open air concert held on RAOWA Club where Fate performs 2 songs (due to time constraint). They perform “Nisshongo”, their own song and it is a huge hit. In 2001Cryptic Fate gets signed up by Pepsi. Sarfaraz was forced to leave the band because of commitment to the band. They perform (all english songs) in a concert at Army Stadium with moderate success. The concert marked the introduction of Fate’s new drummer, Turjo. Around the end of the year (during Ramadan), Fate is invited to Duray to contribute a song in the mixed album called “Charpatra”. Shakib composes the whole song except for the actual lead. For the 1st time Farhan takes part in the composition (line up during the album: Shakib-voc,bg, Farhan-g, Turjo-dr). In 2002 decided to produce another album called “Anushilon”. This time around Cryptic Fate is asked to give 2 songs for the album. Because of rushed recording, the band does not get enough time to compose the songs and Farhan and Shakib plays the drums. Farhan plays “Shokal Choita” while Shakib plays “Eito Cholchey”. By this time Sarfaraz in back and helps them to finish the 2nd song. Finally their second album “Sreshtho” is out in the market. The album is a huge success all over Bangladesh.
