Myrath reveal their new single “Candles Cry,” the final peek into their upcoming new studio album Karma, which will be released on March 8.
The song, a very special and personal one for the band, comes with a cinematic music video directed by Raf Reyntjens which was shot in May, 2023 in Belgrade (Serbia).

Producer + keyboardist Kevin Codfert says,”This song is very special to me as it’s the first vocal duet I’m singing with Zaher. At first, it wasn’t supposed to go like this. I presented my interpretation of the chorus to Zaher, and he said, ‘I love your voice. So, go ahead, I’d rather have you sing it!!’ From a deeper perspective, this song is about the loss of free will, of soldiers who no longer know which cause they should support.”
The song deals with inner conflict and how these can easily manifest in a negative way — if you choose to not resolve it. In an ever-changing society, which is doomed to be under constant pressure, the band makes a strong statement and encourages people to tackle them through music.
The band members of Myrath are strong believer in “music being medicine for the soul” and want to encourage people to use music as an escape from their daily lives.
“Myrath from Tunisia might just be the most underrated band ever. Their new album really excites me — they have something fresh and back it up with a great stage show. They played a tiny stage at Wacken where nobody brings more than guitars and amps, and brought a two-truck production. It was amazing!,” says Pär Sundström of Sabaton
“There are too many great songs on this album to pick favorites” — 9/10, Powerplay (UK)
“This band will explode internationally in 2024” — Fireworks (UK)
As the sands of time continued to shape their journey, Myrath’s relentless dedication led to the creation of their forthcoming album Karma, slated for release on March 8 via earMUSIC as limited transparent red LP, black LP, and Digipak. The forthcoming opus promises to be a testament to their evolution, delivering a sonic tapestry woven from passion and innovation.
With Karma, Myrath solidify their sound — a powerful and captivating blend of Eastern melodies and Western heavy metal. From the epic opening track “To The Stars” to the hauntingly beautiful “Child Of Prophecy,” this album will take you on a theatrical journey through a world of myth and legend.
