Myrath is a Tunisian metal band known for combining progressive/power metal with North African and Middle Eastern folk elements. Their debut album 'Hope' was released in 2007.

Notable members and collaborators mentioned in reviews and public sources include vocalist Zaher Zorgati, keyboardist Elyes Bouchoucha, longtime collaborator/producer Kevin Codfert, bassist Anis Jouini and drummer Morgan Berthet. Albums discussed in the provided reviews include Shehili and Karma. The band's sound has been described as a mix of prog/power metal with Arabic motifs and orchestral arrangements.

Two DeBaser reviews by splinter give a measured, mixed-positive view of Myrath's recent direction. Reviewers note a shift toward more accessible, melodic arrangements and a partial recovery of heavier elements on Karma. Shehili is described as having lightened the band's metal edge in favor of orchestral and traditional sounds.

For:Fans of progressive/power/oriental metal, listeners interested in North African and Middle Eastern musical influences in metal, readers of album reviews.

 The genuinely complete and convincing track is certainly "Child of Prophecy," the only one where Myrath truly aren't afraid to show who they are, aren't afraid to be metal or to be Arabic; it's a track that could have easily belonged on "Tales of the Sands," when you listen to it you bite your nails thinking about what else they could have achieved if they had wanted to.

 they've reduced the metal component to the bone, eliminating precisely that mix that made them interesting; the latest Myrath seems really like a sort of neo-melodic Arab music with just some distorted guitars in the background to give some energy, not really the oriental metal they would like us to believe, they are convinced, but we listeners, even those not too attentive, have unmasked them immediately.
