Whirlwind was established in 1995 as a six piece Metal Band pursuing a path of originality in Sri Lanka. Whirlwind has also developed its own unique style of music, which is influenced by Black / Death / Melodic and Doom styles of metal music that the band steadfastly pursues.

THE HISTORY
Whirlwind began its journey at a time when the industry never existed in Sri Lanka, at a time, rock / metal music was unknown in the country. WHIRLWIND was formed to establish an unorthodox industry, setting aside the typical boundaries, breaking its force, and managed to break through to build a new era of revolutionized music in Sri Lanka. Being unique in their own way of thinking and performing, having the ambition to follow the path of originality, the band introduced new topics unfamiliar to the local music Scene.
In the year 1997 the fist ever Sri metal band came to life while facing many obstacles and went on to become the first ever band to create original Sri Lankan Metal music for the mass market. Having Performed at regular gigs at Colombo’s hottest night clubs, the band has built a huge fan base and has earned a large following among the young and the old. The year 2000 was the turning point for Whirlwind and its unique style of music, when the SLBC (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation) English service recognized the band as the first ever original Rock / Metal band in the country. Given the privilege to record their originals in the SLBC studios the band started recording their first original named ‘Whirlwind in my head’ under their first producer Mr. Harold Fernando of the SLBC English Service. The first original was released on air through the ‘Saturday Club’ music program on SLBC English Service.

In the year 2003 the band released its debut album called ‘PAIN’ under the famous Sri Lankan record label ‘TORANA’. Selling 20,000 copies within one year its fan base increased tremendously. The album was a sell-out in Australia, Germany, India, and Singapore while their originals were aired on various live and online based radio stations, as they gained international recognition.
