After the overwhelming success of "Bandwood" (BANDWOOD 2010, 10 BANDS 1 Stage), we take immense pleasure in again organizing Bandwood II. (Check out, our photo section for Bandwood concert).

We are a non- profitable organization. Our aim is only to promote our Bengali Language through Bengali Rock Music…Now days we only hear famous Bengali songs (through media) which people are listening for the last 5-10 yrs or more than that ...There is hardly any space for New Bengali Songs.
That’s why we are taking an initiative to promote Bengali Rock bands.
So we want your support and initiative to make this a better and successful movement.

This time Bandwood II will be in a different avatar.
We have decided to give one or two upcoming band(s) a chance to play before the headliners.

Procedure - Fossils, Cactus and Lakkhichara will help us in selecting the demos....They will select three bands. 
A poll will also be taken in dis forum. And the final one (Band) will be selected by the online voting. 
You will get an opportunity to vote your favorite upcoming Bangla band, to watch them performing live in Bandwood II.




The band started off their journey in the month of September, 2010 comprising of initially just three members, Somagni, Sarbajeet and Swamantak. After several changes in the line-up, the band zeroed with a stable line-up comprising of five members. Dedication for Heavy Metal music was the common aspect in each and every member of the band and hence the band started with a goal to make original Heavy Metal music. 

After a lot of jamming and hard work the band members came up with a kind of genre which was more of an Experimental Metal sound but with very interesting grooves to complement their love for melody and head-banging music at the same time. From the beginning their main focus was to create original heavy metal music with the power to make everyone bang their heads, while being mesmerized with bone crushing drum grooves and face melting guitar solos and riffs. 

The thing that makes Intoxicate even more unique is due the fact that the band members have various influences, ranging from Progressive Rock to Heavy Metal, Neo-Classical and Western Classical music to New Age Rock and Alternative Rock. The band caught the impetus when they won The Sikkim-Manipal College Fest Livewire 2011 within a few months of their formation. Since then the band has thrived to go ahead and carry the torch of heavy metal music throughout the nation. 

The band also launched their first bootleg music video which is up on their YouTube channel. The band signed to Pune based “Chaos Records” and launched their Debut EP entitled “Dawn Of Apathy” on 2nd February,2013 at “The Pit V.7-Ruthless Vengeance” which happens to be one of the oldest Metal gig in Eastern India, and also performed in the same event. Intoxicate released their New Single entitled “Messiah” from their upcoming album (LP) “Memories”, which will be releasing in 2015. The Single “Messiah” got featured on “Rock Street Journal” in the month of May’14.
