In early 2003, Shaitan Mazar was formed by three musicians; Chief Spires, John Ehlers and Robert Dirr, who shared a love for many diverse musical styles. These three were looking to create a new uninhibited genre, ranging from the most extreme metal to the most ambient, melodic passages. Basically, no limits. Chief had known Jason Hohenstein for many years within the metal circle, and approached him about coming in to collaborate on the project, which would stretch the boundaries of music today. Brett Goode was brought in to handle the drum duties, and the band began work on four songs for the first demo, which consisted of slamming riffs; melodic and atmospheric guitar progressions; soaring melodic vocal harmonies, and intense, extreme vocals all wrapped up in an impressive display of melody and musicianship. The name Shaitan Mazar which translates "grave of the devil" was taken from a UFO crash site in the former Soviet Union in 1991. It reflects the band's attitude that the music will never be restrained, and nothing is ever for certain.
On June 13th, 2005, the band was officially dissolved due to "some internal issues".
