The line up was shortly after completed by Zaher Ben Hamoudia (bass) and Tarek Idouani (vocals).
Myrath first started playing in local concerts a variety of songs of different styles of their favorite bands which goes from blues to heavy metal to death metal.
In 2003 Elyes Bouchoucha (keyboards and vocals) who just graduated from Tunis conservatory joined the band in replacements of Tarek Idouani while Oualid Issaoui (guitar) quit the band.
With this new line up Myrath got into progressive metal and for almost 2 years they played in several concerts exclusively songs of the progressive metal band Symphony X which was their favorite band of that time and still is.
After several years of playing music written by others, Myrath gained enough experience and playing skills to start writing their own. The choice of music they decided to write reflected their oriental origin and their western influence (a combination of progressive, oriental, heavy and melodic).
In the summer of 2004 Fahmi Chakroun (drums) and Zaher Hamoudia (bass) were replaced respectively by Saif Ouhibi and Yassine Belgith in an effort to get musicians fully dedicated to the band.
With this new line up Myrath released their first self produced album ‘’Double Face‘’ on March 2005.
Even though it was a first recording experience, this album (which was released in Tunisia only as the band was not signed yet) did however show encouraging signs of composing skills
In September 2005 Malek Ben Arbia the band founding member and guitarist travelled to Nancy, France to enrol in the famous Guitar school, Music Academy International (M.A.I.) to undergo a one year extensive training course so as to improve his knowledge in music theory and improve and diversify his playing skills.
In March 24th 2006 Myrath opened for Adagio and Robert Plant in the 3rd edition of the Mediterranean guitar festival which gave them the opportunity to meet Adagio band members and mainly their keyboard player Kevin Codfert who happened to be also a sound engineer and a producer.
After graduating from M.A.I. guitarist Malek Ben Arbia returned to Tunisia in late July 2007 with the firm intention to pursue an international music career with Myrath.
To this respect experienced Bass player Anis Jouini joined the band in September 2006 in replacement of Zaher Hamoudia (who replaced for a short period of time Yassine Belgith).
With a line up now consisting of 4 skilled musicians fully dedicated to the band and sharing the same ambition of success, Myrath spent about 3 months writing new songs for the second album.
In December 2006 they recorded the album “Hope” with Kevin Codfert as sound engineer and producer
This new album was a turning point in Myrath's career as thanks to Kevin's valuable assistance and superb work the band was signed by the French label Brennus Music who released "Hope" in September 2007.
In June 2007 Zaher Zorgati considered by many as the best Metal singer in Tunisia joined Myrath as lead vocals and has made his debut concert in the “Rock à Radés Festival” on 10 August 2007.
Most critics predicted a bright future for the band as summarized by one of them who wrote "Myrath will probably be the first band from Maghreb which will have a famous international career. This album is one of the best releases of Progressive Metal that I had the chance to listen to lately. Thumb up to Myrath for this exceptional release… this band will become really big and famous you'll see, I will not be wrong".
The success of HOPE contributed to improving the notoriety of Myrath, and paved the way for prestigious European festivals (such as METAL ROCK FESTIVAL - Norway and PROGPOWER-EU – The Netherlands) to include the band in the lineup of their 2008 edition. Thus on May 2nd 2008 Myrath made an impressive debut live performance outside Tunisia in PROGSUD Festival (Marseille – France) with talented singer Zaher Zorgati (who joined the band in June 2007) as front man.
Knowing that a follow up album is no easy task in terms of fans expectations Myrath let their inspiration guide them when composing the new album named DESERT CALL, the softer and versatile voice of new singer Zaher Zogati contributed to Myrath finding its own trade mark, a mix of melodic Arabian tunes, and prog-power metal enhanced by a balanced Arabian and western orchestration.
Recorded in November 2008 in Tunis-Tunisia and brilliantly mixed and produced by Kevin Codfert, the album was fully completed. By June 2009 however it was only after several months of negotiations with various labels that Myrath finally signed an exclusive license contract for Europe with the major French labels XIII BIS RECORDS (Sony distribution) and another one for the rest of the world with the prestigious American Label Nightmare Records.

Seven Sins
Myrath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My tears and stop all my emotions
Slot and gluttony your two favourite
Sins to kill all my sensations
Man of all my fears, let me drop
My tears and regain all my devotion
Hate and agony that's all
I can feel but these sins are immortal
All those dirty lies
You told me with no shame
Anger, lust and pride
It's how you played the game
I feel strong emotion
Deep as an ocean
Just for you
I feel strong emotion
Deep as an ocean
Just for you
I feel sensation
Love and passion made me blind
All the time we spent together
I knew you were the perfect sinner
I believe there is no need to cry
Don't hide your seven sins
All the time we spent together
I knew you were the perfect sinner
I believe there is no need to cry
I believe there is no need to hide
So please don't go…. Please don't go…… please don't gooooh
Ohhhhh 0hhhhh ohhhh
Ohhhhh 0hhhhh ohhhh
The lyrics of Myrath's song "Seven Sins" seem to be about a relationship with someone who embodies all seven deadly sins. The singer asks the person to "detain my tears and stop all my emotions" indicating that this person has caused the singer pain and emotional distress. The reference to "slot and gluttony" suggests that this person indulges in excessive pleasure-seeking at the expense of others. The singer also refers to "hate and agony" which seems to be the aftermath of being in a relationship with this person. The mention of "immortal sins" implies that these sins are inherent to this person's nature and cannot be changed.
The second verse seems to be about the lies and manipulation that this person has used to keep the singer under their control. The mention of "anger, lust and pride" indicates that this person has used these emotions to control the situation. The chorus seems to be the singer's plea to this person to stay and acknowledge their flaws. The mention of "love and passion made me blind" seems to suggest that despite the hurt, the singer still has feelings for this person. The song seems to be a complex portrayal of a toxic relationship with a person who embodies all the negative aspects of human nature.

Most underrated band in history
Leviathan-Studios
Myrath is definitely one of the most underrated bands.
I think "Welbilt" is the most underrated band of this century. You should check out their song "enough". it was even in a movie but due to bad pr they never reached the charts apart from Japan in the early 2000s.
Seeker
so spectacular sound this band makes me so proud of my country (tunisia) . hope they will keep it .
Nina Desriv
skander ghérib Could you recommend me several tunisian metal bands ? :D
