Myrath

About

Myrath is a Tunisian-French progressive metal band founded in 2001 in Ezzahra by then-13-year-old guitarist Malek Ben Arbia, originally under the name X-Tazy. They were the first Tunisian act to sign with a European record label, and broke through internationally with albums such as 'Tales of the Sands' (2011) and 'Legacy' (2016). Their self-described 'Blazing Desert Metal' sound weaves progressive and power metal together with North African and Arabic instrumentation. Seven studio albums, headline slots at Hellfest, Wacken and Sweden Rock, and a performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar have cemented their reputation as one of metal's most distinctive voices.
