Forbidden Truth

Forbidden Truth is a melodic death metal band from Bangladesh with elements of melody and death metal in their songs. They are the first such bands of this genre in the country.

Forbidden Truth started out in the year 2003 with a group of musicians who wanted to become part of the rebellion which music personifies. They wanted to start up a craze for a new genre of music which did not exist in Bangladesh previously. At first the band consisted of Rumman (Vocal/Guitar),Rohan (Bass),Titash (Drums) and Nashat (Guitar). Then, in the October of 2003 Sajid joined as the vocals. Thus Rumman, who is amazing at riffs and stuff, was able to put more of his time, and efforts into making some kickass songs! Amazingly, he was also able to push the other members into doing some work.

As all bands know, the first main hurdle that they had to cross was the band name. None of the members seemed to be able to agree on any one of the names suggested by each other. Finally, the mastermind Rumman came up with the name "Forbidden Truth". Everyone liked this name, especially since it went so well with their style of music. The meaning of their name was simple. They stand for all those secrets that the corrupt society, powerful nations and dirty politicians were forever "Forbidden" to reveal to the common public. They basically symbolize Truth. They decided that their genre of music would be "Melodic Death" new to Bangladesh, they really did not expect to be as appreciated as they already have been, but then here again they faced some problems. Rohan has to leave the band after few days for personal problem and Tannu joined the band as the new Bass Guitarist. Rumman and Titash left the band for personal reasons and the band started to continue with their current and the best lineup with much more experienced musicians.

The present band line-up is:

Sajid - Vocals/Bass

Nashat - Guitars

Kennedy - Guitars

Shuvo - Drums

So far in their career, they would like to thank one person specially, because without his help they would not have been able to get this far. That person is Sameer, a musician and friend who worked with them. Forbidden Truth would also like to thank all of their friends, organizers, bands and fans who stood beside the band and gave all the support that the band ever needed.
