“AVAT is an acronym for a victim a target,” the band said. “We came to the decision to change the name to finalize the band as it is now.”
Furthermore, the band said, “We enjoy metal and all aspects of it, thrash , the earlier screamo days and alternative rock.
ORIGINS

COVID-19 hasn’t stopped the band from working hard.
