"Oniket Prantor" (Bengali: অনিকেত প্রান্তর; transl. "No Man's Land") is the second album released by the Bangladeshi metal band Artcell.[1][2] It was released on 1 April 2006, 4 years after the release of their first album, Onno Shomoy (Alternate Time). The album has continued to soar in popularity with songs that became cult classics such as ‘Smriti Sharok’, ‘Shohid Sharoni’, ‘Dhushor Shomoy’. The album features a more matured tone than their previous works with more complex compositions and changing time signatures.

The album was released in Bashundara City Shopping Mall where the members of Black, Bassbaba Sumon from Aurthohin and Iqbal Asif Jewel who mixed their album and is now currently one of the band members were all present at the launch.

All the songs were about 6-7 minutes long but the title and the albums final track, ‘Oniket Prantor’ was 16 minutes and 21 seconds which is the second longest track recorded in Bangladesh.[3][4]

The song ‘Smiriti Sharok’ was dedicated to Rupok who was their former lyricist before his death and also whom the bands first album was based on.
