Their first album Amavashya Lore was released in 2015, now they’ve released the single for their 2nd album Good Dying Light. Brimmed with lyrics from Epic, and full of powerful double bass and blast beats, they’re probably the best in the business (genre) right now in the Bangladesh music industry.
