Biography

Avishay Mizrav born january 1st, 1981, his passion for music and guitars started when he was 8 years old and it still burns to this day.

At the age of 16, Avishay started playing in his first band,  a metal band called "Disharmony" (aka “Metal Militia”), they worked together for a couple of years and experiment in writing and composing songs, they had about an album worth of songs and even recorded one of them, they had a few shows in their local city and altogether it seemed promising.

These times were a real buildup for Avishay, working with the band and learning guitar with his all time favorite teacher Yuval Hen.

About a year after Disharmony broke up, Avishay met a young promising singer, dudi sarusi, they started working together on dudi's music and formed a new band, “Colitis” (Classic rock with bits of metal, progressive and grunge).

Since that day avishay has been devoting most of his time and efforts to this band. the band went through alot of musicians changes throughout the years, especially in the drum & bass section.

By the year 2002 they had finally formed a group that they thought at the time would be final and so they started recording their first album "Bin Sidkai Hakir"  in "Mute Studios", runned by Liron Boberman who is a friend of the band and offered to record them for free as his first big project, and theirs too.

The recording, editing and pre-mixing of this album were done by Liron Boberman and Avishay Mizrav, Final mixing proccess was done in "Tzolelet Studios"  by Guy Webb and Mastering was done by Tali Katz at "Master One Studios".

The album is now complete and is available for purchase.

In 2006 the band went through another change in lineup which still holds till today.
