Myrath

Myrath (Arabic: ميراث mīrāth, "Legacy") is a Tunisian progressive metal band formed in 2001 by guitarist Malek Ben Arbia and currently based in France.

[6] Guitarist Malek Ben Arbia, then age 13, formed the band, first named X-Tazy, in 2001 with some childhood friends.

[8] At this time the band included Arbia and Bouchoucha with bassist Anis Jouini, who became a permanent member, plus drummer Saif Louhibi.

[7] Shortly after the release of Hope, singer Zaher Zorgati joined the band and took over lead vocals from Bouchoucha.

Zorgati's ability to combine Islamic chants with heavy metal wailing became a key component of Myrath's sound,[7] while the band's lyrics began to focus on Tunisian folklore.

[17] In 2017, Myrath performed in their native Tunisia for the first time in three years with a concert at the historic Theatre of Carthage.
