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.

Silent Cries
Myrath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you came, like in my dreams, tenderly
Your whispers echoed in my heart
Which I thought dead
With you I'm feeling warm
I'm alive when you hold my hand
Hold my hand and get me out
Let me see that gleam of light
Let it shine on my heart
Lost in the dark with no fears
No stars above, no one to love
Tears come, run down my face
And they fade as they fall
I heard you call, called my name
To hold my hand, bring me back to life
Yes, now I'm alive, back to the real world
Now I'm feeling better
When you're by my side, I don't need to hide
I reached the bottom, you brought me back
When I was drowning, you were in my mirror
Just before I closed my eyes
Just before I closed my eyes
I reached the bottom, you brought me back
When I was drowning, you were in my mirror
It's your face I've seen shining down on me like dimes
I feel the fever inside my soul
Burning desire, deep inside my heart
Now try to breathe, just find some space
You are my last chance, my only way out
When you talk to me, when you hold my hand
Hold my hand and get me out
From that hole in the dark
Let me see that gleam of light
Let it shine on my heart

Desperate, when I was on my own
I was in a hopeless state when I was alone
Then you came, like in my dreams, tenderly
You appeared in my life like a dream, bringing tenderness with you
Your whispers echoed in my heart
Your words lingered with me deeply
Which I thought dead
I believed my heart was lifeless before you came
With you I'm feeling warm
I feel comfort and warmth when I'm with you
I'm alive when you hold my hand
I come to life when you touch me
Hold my hand and get me out
Take my hand and rescue me from my struggles
From that hole in the dark
From the darkness that consumes me
Let me see that gleam of light
Let me witness a glimpse of hope
Let it shine on my heart
Let it light up my world
Lost in the dark with no fears
I'm in the dark without courage
No stars above, no one to love
I feel alone, unloved, and hopeless
Tears come, run down my face
I shed tears of sadness and despair
And they fade as they fall
My tears disappear as they leave my eyes
I heard you call, called my name
I heard you reach out to me and call my name
To hold my hand, bring me back to life
To bring me back to life, you took my hand
Yes, now I'm alive, back to the real world
With your help, I am alive and present in this reality
Now I'm feeling better
I'm starting to feel better about the situation
When you're by my side, I don't need to hide
I feel safe and comfortable being myself when you're around
I reached the bottom, you brought me back
I hit rock bottom but you helped me to rise again
When I was drowning, you were in my mirror
When I was struggling, you were there for me to see
Just before I closed my eyes
Right before I gave up hope
It's your face I've seen shining down on me like dimes
It's your face that gives me hope and lights up my life
I feel the fever inside my soul
I feel a burning passion within me
Burning desire, deep inside my heart
I have a strong longing and passion within my heart
Now try to breathe, just find some space
I need to calm down and make room for hope
You are my last chance, my only way out
You are my only hope and way out of my struggles
When you talk to me, when you hold my hand
Your words and touch give me comfort and hope
