Onno Shomoy (Bengali: অন্যসময়; transl. "Alternate Time") is the debut album by the Bangladeshi progressive metal band, Artcell, released in 2002 under G-Series. This album was highly appreciated by metal listeners. This album was one of the first to introduce and develop progressive metal music in Bangladesh. Their sound and compositions were very unique compared to other Bangla rock music during that time consisting of fingerstyle guitar intros, unique drum fills with the use of hi-hats and double bass and bass guitar tapping. Their playing style and sound got developed in their upcoming albums as time went on.[1]

The main concept of this album was about Rupok's demise, who wrote many lyrcis for the band along with Rumman Ahmed. This album was dedicated to him. In 1999, he was diagnosed with celebral malaria and he died at a very early age, 3 years before the release of this album. A song called (রুপক: একটি গান; transl. "Rupok: A song") was made in memory of Rupok in this album. [2][3]
