Myrath (Arabic: ميراث mīrāth, "Legacy") is a Tunisian progressive metal band formed in 2001 by guitarist Malek Ben Arbia and currently based in France.[1] The band has been noted for its mix of Arabic and Middle Eastern instrumentation with power metal and progressive rock[2] and is considered an important band in oriental metal.[3] They call their own sound "blazing desert metal".[4][5] They are the first band from Tunisia to be signed to a record label outside the country.[6]
