In a monumental move for the regional music scene, Warfaze has officially become the first South Asian band to collaborate with the iconic global lighter brand, Zippo.

A Historic Crossover: When Sound Becomes Symbol
Warfaze has spent over four decades shaping the soundscapes of heavy metal and hard rock in Bangladesh. To celebrate their enduring journey and deep connection with their fans, the band has partnered with Zippo Bangladesh to release two special-edition, windproof lighters. These lighters reflect the band’s storied evolution, from their self-titled debut to their modern classics.
Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu, the Co-Founder & Band Leader of Warfaze, expressed his excitement over the launch. “For us, music has always been about connecting with a generation’s emotions,” Tipu stated. “To be associated with a brand like Zippo, that carries its own legacy, is an honor.”
