Myrath | fr

Myrath (ميراث, meaning legacy) is a Tunisian Metal band. In just a few years they’ve become a very enjoyed and respected band by the international Metal/Rock community.
In the first two years, they played numerous area shows, playing mainly death metal covers, and the next two years were spent doing exclusively Symphony X covers.
In early 2005, they created and independently released "Double Face", a self-produced fan EP (under the name "X-Tazy").
In early 2006, the band got an opportunity to open for Robert Plant and Adagio, playing for over 7000 frenzied music fans and meeting their future producer, Adagio’s keyboard player Kevin Codfert. With the invaluable support of Kevin, Myrath immediately recorded their first full-length album "Hope". The band was signed by the French label Brennus-Music and "Hope" was released in 2007 in France. The album was very well received by critics, that predicted a bright future for the band, and led to a number of high profile festival performances in Europe.
Their follow-up album "Desert Call" was released in early 2010. It was a second turning point in Myrath's career in terms of increased recognition and increasing their fan base, garnering an even wider interest from the media and promoters. "Desert Call" offered a new style of Progressive Power Metal consisting of a mix of traditional Tunisian music and Metal enhanced by a balanced Arabian and western sound. The album was received exceptionally well by critics, elevating the band to a higher level yet.
The third Myrath album "Tales of the Sands" was released in late 2011. Dubbing their new sound as "Oriental Metal", the band was again launched into an even higher status, with sales and opportunities growing, and they found themselves on opening touring slots with major artists, Dream Theater, HIM, W.A.S.P., Tarja Turunen and toured around the world (including Dubai, USA, India, Europe, North Africa) over a few years, in many high profile festivals. The band also made their first live appearance on US soil at ProgPower USA, the premier progressive metal festival, in 2013, and headlined ProgPower Europe in Netherlands to raving fans.
Myrath have already secured medium slot on the new Symphony X tour in Europe for early 2016, and will secure a major tour for North America, Asia and the Middle East shortly.
