YEAR OF FORMATION :
In this time of globalization, changes are constant and such changes have also influenced bangla music. The acceptance of bangla bands to the youth fraternity is growing everyday. Among the present bangla bands "RIKTERSKALE" is the latest inclusion.
RIKTERSKALE is a heavy metal outfit with its base in CALCUTTA. We are the first band in this part of the nation to have produced the kind of sound that we do. Strong revolutionary lyrics and the attitude to fight against all odds are the main driving forces of the band. All the songs of RIKTERSKALE have a strong inner message, which becomes clear from their anti-establishment lyrics.The band started off in 1999 as “CHARONDAL” when we had a rich repertoire of love ballads and pop rock numbers. Over the last few years we have done a number of live gigs across the city along with it we also had been a part of some interactive sessions in both radio and television. But with time we shifted genre and the band also went through some lineup changes and later changed its name to "RIKTERSKALE" in 2004.Now as we stand today as RIKTERSKALE not only believe in our own music but has also succeeded in incorporating the whole philosophy behind our music in our own life and that’s where we start sounding different from the rest of the bandwagon.
RIKTERSKALE launched their maiden album named "REINCARNATION" on 16th December 2005. The first song of this album named "Bhoy" deals with the eternal inner conflict of every human being. "Shantibango" draws the picture of a state under political turmoil whereas the song "jaago" gives a wake-up call to the entire humanity. The versatility in lyrics and strong hard rock arrangement of this album has been widely appreciated. So much so that the critics of bangla music in Bangladesh have also given rave reviews about this album. This album released from GENESIS RECORDS is surely a collector’s item for all music lovers.
