Almost a unique act on the alternative metal scene due to its leading female lineup, Mahavatar's strains reveal a singular ability to deliver tense and anguished themes, pulled by tumultuous guitars and ponderous rock features. The band's mission is also defined by the meaning of their designation. The word itself, Mahavatar, has an Indian origin significance of immortality, but the New York crew adjoined it with their very own particular signification: Mind Hypnotic Vision Towards Revolution. Mahavatar's formation was firstly commanded by Lizza Hayson, the band's vocalist, later joined by drummer Peter Lobodzinski and guitarist Karla Williams. After several shows in New York, the band received an intense response from the public, and decided to record a demo containing most of their creations. In 2000, Mahavatar completed their lineup with the addition of bassist Eddie Gasior and continued to tour intensively. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges
