Mizraab was conceived in the late '90s by Faraz Anwar, with the aim of raising the profile of progressive rock and metal in the Pakistani music scene.
In 1999, Akhtar Qayyum took the songs Mizraab was working on to Sonic Records in attempt to stay in line with production deadlines, Due to its incomplete nature Panchi received little attention and the band broke up.
Faraz then, keeping the name Mizraab, began a solo project. In the summer of 1999 he went to Lahore to record at Digital Fidelity Studios, where his work was well received. During 2000, Faraz recorded and released An Abstract Point of View on American-based label Gnarly Geezer to much critical acclaim.
In March 2004, the band, fronted by Faraz, released their first official anthology, Mazi Haal Mustaqbil to much criticism and critical acclaim.
To date, Mizraab have released eight music videos, including the popular Panchi, and Kitni Sadiyaan which received airtime on MTV Asia.
Mizraab released the music video for 'Ujalon Main' in December 2007 which showcased the new band members as well as the change in genre for the new album. It has received a lot of positive feedback from fans and critics alike.
Mizraab's second album has been completed and they are presently looking for a record deal.
