Myrath

The Profile

Myrath are a Tunisian progressive/power metal band known for blending Middle Eastern/North African elements with modern metal. Formed in 2001 (originally as X‑Tazy), they rose to prominence with Desert Call and Tales of the Sands and later explored a more melodic, orchestral direction on Shehili, Karma and Wilderness Of Mirrors.

Vocalist: Zaher Zorgati. Bass: Anis Jouini. Drums: Morgan Berthet. Former keyboards: Elyes Bouchoucha. Longtime collaborator/keyboardist-producer: Kevin Codfert. The band’s style fuses Arabic scales and orchestration with prog/power frameworks.

Three Splinter reviews follow Myrath’s arc from the heavier Desert Call/Tales era to the more melodic, orchestral sheen of Shehili, Karma and Wilderness Of Mirrors. Arabic flavors persist but are often thinned; guitars frequently sit behind big hooks. Strong melodies and classy arrangements abound, with flashes that recall their peak mix. Verdict: engaging and well-crafted, if lighter than early devotees crave.
