It all started In March 24th 2006 when the band opened for ROBERT PLANT and ADAGIO in Carthage Amphitheater (Tunisia) in front of nearly 7000 Rock/metal fans. Adagio keyboards player Kevin Codfert who watched Myrath performance And later listened to Myrath first self produced album double face (released in March 2005 in Tunisia only) detected the great potential of the band as well as promising composing skills.
Myrath recorded in December 2006 their debut album "Hope" in a low cost studio in Tunis-Tunisia, with the valuable assistance and guidence of Kevin Codfert (Adagio) as engineer and producer.
