However, inspired by Maqsud, former vocalist of Feedback, the band performed their own Bangla songs at a concert arranged by BAMBA at the University of Dhaka on 26 April 1992. Kamal had made arrangements for further education in the US by 1991. In 1988, Reshad had left the band for some personal reason and his place was filled by Sunjoy. At the time, Warfaze was mostly a cover band, covering bands such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Dokken, Iron Maiden or Guns N' Roses. Mashuk Rahman from In Dhaka and Fuad from Aces volunteered to help Warfaze as guest members (guitarist) and Warfaze introduced Keyboard position in the band and Russell took the position. At that time, there were three other Dhaka-based metal bands: Rockstrata, In Dhaka, and Aces. This second lineup had to be discontinued when Naimul emigrated to the US. In 1986, Kamal took up lead guitar duties, Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu as a drummer, and Kamal and Tipu took Babna Karim as the bassist, and Reshad as the vocalist. Heavy metal music was not much popular in Bangladesh back then. The band was far from breaking through to the mainstream music scene in Bangladesh. By that time Kamal met Tipu in early 1986 and Tipu joined Warfaze as the drummer and co-founder. This initial line-up underwent the first of many changes with Helal, Mir, and Bappi having to leave the band for personal reasons. The first lineup of Warfaze in 1984 consisted of Bappi on vocals, Mir and Naimul on guitars, Kamal on bass, Helal on drums.
