In 1998, Black took flight as a band with three childhood friends, Jon Kabir (vocal & guitar), Khademul Jahan (lead guitar) and Tony Vincent (drums), along with Asif Haque (additional guitar) and Tamzid Siddiq Spondon (bass) joined their talents together. Both the latter ones left soon and Miraz joined as the bassist. Later in the year 2000, the band welcomed the talented Tahsan Rahman Khan as a vocalist and keyboardist, adding a whole new dimension to their sound. 

Black appeared in some mixed albums curated by the one and only Isha Khan Durey which created a buzz among the audiences. Later, during the years 2002-2003 the band broke through the mainstream with their debut album, followed by their second album and the reaction from the audience was massive and caught everyone by surprise.
