In 2005 the song ONTIM NIDRA in was released in Band compilation album called PROBAURTON from a local label called RB-series, thus getting attention just as black metal was gaining importance in the local metal scene. Then SATANIK became a regular performer in the underground Metal scene in Dhaka, & Chittagong in Bangladesh. In the mid of 2007 the second single track DUANON was released in the Band Compilation UNDERGROUND-2 from a local label G-series. The next following year in 2008 new single MRRITO JODDHHA was released in band compilation album called OVVUDAUY from label MBI records. In the beginning of 2009 the band decided to compose original material in ENGLISH for international Promotions. In 2010 the band was invited to submit their first English track called ENDURED NOTHINGNESS in a Band compilation called NAKTALA METAL PALLY volume 1 in Calcutta, INDIA. After the release of ENDURED NOTHINGNESS, the song was air played in much independent radio station in USA and Europe. After that the band started composing new original materials in English to find a record label to promote their songs internationally.

In the meantime band lineup saw major changes again due to member's personal reasons. Showmik joined in as the new guitarist as Nayeem became unable to continue as a permanent member due to overseas study purpose. Still as he is highly committed to SATANIK, he will continue contributing. At the end of 2012, the new line up consists of Xem on vocals, Shawon on guitars, Showmik on guitars, Opu on bass and Sajib on drums. Shawon & Xem are the only founding members remaining. Over the years, SATANIK have played with many locally established metal bands. During their existence the band has been subjected to lack of support for extreme metal in Bangladesh and other misfortunes, but this did little to stop them and only strengthened their resolve to push on.
