as an offended im middle eastern
Oh how the turn tables
“That drum kit looks dope as shit”
*says absolutely nothing about that wicked keyboards setup*
@⸚ so you're saying it doesn't look dope???
If you don’t have a triangular keyboard and holes in your cymbals are you even a real musician?
If you listen to their older stuff, especially their first album, it is definitely prog. Not on the level of Dream Theater, but more like an oriental Symphony X.
Dream theater are unparalleled man... No band match their musicianship that's for sure.
Master Key I love Symphony X and Myrath, and this is a very good description!
yeah listen to their album "desert call"
i agree they dont have this rly oriental and are way more prog but i like their last works more even though i hate arab music this blends well
I totally agree! They sounded A LOT like Dream Theater in the past.
The name of those drums is « Derbouka » and they’re not played the way normal drums are, I think that they just added them to the set as a reminder of the « Myrath » that literally means heritage, I’m from Morocco btw and this band is sick, rock on Tunisia 🇹🇳
The backstory is set in an earlier release called Believer. Cool thing about that: They actually got fans to crowdfund the video for Believer so they could make it as awesome as they wanted. I think Myrath is a really cool band because of the mix of the oriental and western influences. And those oriental scales and rhythms really blend well with metal. But also because of how they've dared to try out new things, crowdfunding and having fans spread their music.
The new Prince of Persia looks interesting
Really? I thought I was watching Aladdin.
Clearly the next instalment of assassins creed
HAHAHA
They 're from tunesia
Prince of Tunisia ...
The first track to set this up Believer, is phenomenal.
Fun fact Shehili 1:10 is actually how we Tunisians say sandstorm, pronounced Sh-hili, they made it look terrifyingly mythical lmao
Myrath is definitely Prog Metal. Listen to their albums Tales of Sands and Desert Call. With no doubt, prog metal.
Legacy not at all prog. Not even close. Agree with the other two and you can add Hope as well even though its very very VERYYYYYYY Symphony X influenced and it shows!
Best username ever
Man, I'm loving this anime.
I thought this was the nexflix adaptation to Aladdin
@@conormurphy4328 Looks like Netflix made a good adaptation for once
The additional drums are doumbeks/darboukas. Very traditional ME instrument.
Trust me they are progressive like hell...this is a very commercial song
Listen to their full albums. There are tracks that i swear to you that are more progressive than bands like symphony x (no wonder symphony x tours with them and their vocal now wears myrath tshirts everywhere he goes lol)
Also there is a lot in ur musical analysis that is not correct due to the fact there is much of oriental quarter noted scales. Its a whole other world :D
Nice review though
2:42 - 2:44
when your friends say they are done drinking for the night
Yo lmao this got me dying
WTF Dude xdddddddddddddddddddddd
Hi Mike, Could you please do a video about noise conducted hearing loss and overall speak about the loudness of music nowadays mastering wise (brick walling, compression, clipping...) and the difference between the genres in this regard.
I abused my ears in the past few years and I kinda sense a mild hearing loss which gives me paranoia and anxiety while listening to music that I cannot hear it as good as before.
Would be much appreciated if you touch this topic, Cheers!
That would be really interesting
Get outta here rob, go fake news another president
Well, basically loudness war is over. All services dial their music to a certain level and mixing it louder doesn't make sense anymore. So you can consider it being over
Myrath's music is very entertaining and super well done, but I find the videoclips too kitschy.
It's still really nice and I wish them the best of success! + Their guitarist is beast!!!
I mean they don't have the budget in Tunisia to make videos with the quality of some european and American bands, so what they can do with their budget it's good.
The editing technique used in this MV costs more than half of the video clips made by European/American bands u talking about.
I LIVE for their music videos
Still much better than the most high budget satanic and aggressive videos of some famous singers/bands
Big fan of this band. They began as a Symphony X cover band, probably where they get much of their sound influence.
Some songs in their latest album "Legacy" could be classified as progressive, as some parts of them are written in odd time signatures, for example in the song "I Want to Die", the intro is in 11/8.
btw that song is really good go check it out.
Agreed. I would say 'Nobody's Lives' is the _proggiest_ from last record (and also my favorite!).
You're the first on yt i see speaking about myrath, good to see that.
Mike i love your channel and you funny af. Greets from Amsterdam 😊
“Tunija” sounds like a magical place
tunisia*
canned bread that’s the joke
@@conormurphy4328 what is the joke? sorry i don't get it
canned bread mike said Tunisia like an American and it sounded like he said tunija
@@conormurphy4328 oh right, ok. i'm american so hearing it like "tunija" is normal for me and i got confused
Their older songs used to sound more proggier. But I guess the sound they are going for NOW makes them more unique sounding and I love it.
Love this band. Glad to see Mike reacting to them. Also, yes, Tunisian (North African) and Middle Eastern music are generally the same. There are small differences that allow you to distinguish it from other styles, but not enough to really call it a different sound. However, some people choose to refer to North African music as Oriental to differentiate it from Middle Eastern, as the culture behind the 2 regions is vastly different, despite the plethora of similarities they share.
@Mark Pozsar pretty simplistic lmao, basically like saying the portuguese are the same as the spanish since they are both iberian.
there is a difference since north african music isnt all the same there is alot of variation like berber music for example do different music compared to middle eastern.
@Mark Pozsar Only recently arabised. Plenty of them are not arabic culturally and few are Arabic ethnically.
@Mark Pozsar Untrue. I am Arab myself, but I can tell you North African culture is pretty different from that of Arabs. They have a lot of similarities though, to the point where you can group them together.
@@estwrios3983 I already said, there are differences between them, but they are similar enough to where you can generally put them all in the same boat.
This morning I was thinking about you reacting to Myrath because I was watching them perform live in a video. Thanks.
They sound pretty cool, thanks for this, gonna check them out
This sounds really awesome. I'll check out more of their music
Your analysis is very awesome, congratulations!
Saw this band in a festival and I was pleasantly surprised. Great live show!
The song lyrics talks about the fight of Tunisians after the revolution for light and freedom ..Tunisia has a very rich history and culture and heritage dating from thousands of years BC. The metal oriental is still a new concept but music is universal and it’s for everyone… Good job Myrath for the noble message and the goodness of the mix between these music genres 👏🏻
i hope you get more opportunities like this! this was really cool, love myrath since a long time. my mind was blown to see them on here :P they definetely were more prog in the past though.. imho
C'mon mike we all know that you're only real prog if...
1. The song uses odd time signatures; or a polyrythm/polymeter
2. A mood change every time there's a different riff
3. The song is (at least) 9 minutes
4. Every and any instrument used has a solo
5. And every instrument is one it's own bpm
.

oh and ugh... idk djent just randomly mixed in there regardless of it's needed
Their track "Nobody's Lives" from their previous album is something I would definitely categorize as Prog.
Though still agree that the band as a whole is Power/Symphonic.
wide shut is lit, by the same band
The guitarist really came through for me, I loved his sound.
Myrath is really cool.Not amazing but have some good music.
They are insanely good live. Especially Zaher and Morgan are top tier musicians
@@timmackenroth148 Yeap i saw them live a couple of years ago in my country.
their song "wide shut" is amazing.
What do you consider "amazing"?
Not Amazing? check my inner war or All my fears fro the album "Hope"
I fucking love this group. Even got one of their symbols tatted on me. Powerful messages. Perfect blend of their sound and metal.
Definitely a more power metal feel! Love the strings in the beginning, i like the story and the way it drives through the whole song. The chorus is catchy as hell!! On top of it all... that solo has feel man it gives a nice break and just pushes the song to a different level! Not usually the type of music I would listen to often but I like this a lot!
Love Myrath, Regards From Indonesia
"... obviously you don't want it all to be hooks, like fucking pop music..." - Mike.
Nothing to add here, lol.
No, North Africa is not middle east... It's Maghreb
That's also the name of a country so it gets confusing I would must call it north Africa
this country is tunisia
actually the country is called Morocco ..... and the Arabic Maghreb - Morocco tunisia algery libya egypt soudan ....
@@iamking228 dude i live there .... don't tell me what's it called .
@@iamking228 انت لتنكر اصلك .... يعني المغرب العربي اخترعتوا بنفسي ....😏 تقف نفسك ارجوك ...😫
Great band, great video.
The drums at the beginning is called Darbuka دربوكة or Goblet drum
.
You should hear
"Dessert Call" from this band
The start of the song sounded like elmos world
Im tired
Lol
I’ll never unhear this now.
Wow, I haven't heard of Adagio in a LONG time.
This sounds a little more symphonic to me, at least at some points. The intro especially sounds like something I could imagine coming from Kamelot.
I dig it. Will check out more. Thanks for the introduction.
Finally some sweet vocals in a song, so many of these pretenders on SSF that can barely sing making singing look like a joke but Myrath can actually wail.
Love Myrath , the "prog metal" label was applicable for their first album titled Hope (my favorite). Change came with the new singer.
I love when he sings in arabic on Tales of the Sand album! I don't understand shit but I like it anyway! XD
Hello with Bulgaria 🤘! I like Myrath. Pentagram-turkish band, Dark in a sunlight, very interesting too, see it. Have a nice day!
I just found these guys a little bit ago and I really like a lot of there stuff. I have a fondness for folk metal which while not the focus of this band, is a strong element in their sound.
as a Myrath lover i have to clear things up : so the story told in the start of the video was a remaider of the 1st part of the story that takes place in thier song 'believer ' and it sounds kinda wierd cuz of the names and the adjective used in it wchich are tunisian so maybe u should watch the 1st part to get the whole tale
ua-cam.com/video/CnFtZZp7f-c/v-deo.html
I have seen them live once, great band. Really like them
the intro drum line is done with oriental tamtam called ''Darbouka''
This was pretty damn good man. I enjoyed it i think lyrics aren't the best but this band has a real power metal sound and i really like it.
just yesterday I heard about this band and checked them out....
interesting stuff
Great reaction to a great band. Plus they are actually really nice people. One of those underrated bands for me. I always feel sunshine in their music and it makes me want to eat some kebab 😂😂😂
Saw them on Sabaton open air 2022, was really impressive, easily the best act outside of Sabaton on Saturday
Waiting for more Myrath reaction !
I like the MV cause feel like I’m going on adventure
Dun uh dun uh
Dun uh dun uh
Elmo's World!
May have to check them out
The drummer of that band also plays in Kadinja!
Fuck yes! Morgan is talented as fuck!
Love this song, and the solo is one of my favs tbh lol. Myrath is cool
I follow Myrath since they appeared in Rock Band 3 with Madness (So like 8 years ago now ^^), meet them 2 times after show and talk with the guitarist (He's so fucking nice btw) and listen recently to the last album and it's really a solid band, but they are going one step further with this one and i really hope they can have more attention in the mainstream audience, because they can fit in pretty well. Also, very nice and respond to the fan on their different social media, really nice from them too ^^
Also, like you've said, the sound of the bass is a little under everything, but it's really seems to be like this on the complete album, really strange feeling (Gonna try to ask next time i saw them if it's done on purpose ^^)
I think Myrath is a great band, they have a lot of variations over their albums (heavy, soft, fast, calm, etc.), and their style is quite unique (i.e. they are easy to recognize). Personally I like their first album "Tales of the Sands". Each song is very different compared to each other and most of them varies with different styles and changes in their beats, making each one of them unique and recognizable. As for "real prog", some of their songs can absolutely be described as progressive, but not all. I agree that they have more in common with symphonic metal, but prog is also fitting to their style along with their north-African, Tunisian flavor to it.
They started as a progressive oriental band(check out the very old albums), but since Legacy album, they shifted to another direction. Now their music is still oriental but a little bit more commercial/mainstream than before.
to help the confusion: this video is the second in a series where they travel back in time to kick some ass and save the singers nephew.
This is the sequel to Believer, the video story flows from that. Check out tracks like Merciless Times and Endure the Silence
chapter 1 is myrath - believer
Those oriental drums are called Darbuka or Derbuka depending on the country. There are 3 main "models": Tunisian, Egyptian, and Turkish. You can also find them in some Eastern European folklore like Greece or the Balkans, as they were part of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire at some point of their history.
Listen to there older stuff it’s much more proggy.
The first album "Hope" is prog for sure... "desert call" and "tales of the sands" are good albums too and deserve a listen
Dude myrath is oriental metal plus a few touches of prog. They sure started out as a prog band but their latest albums lean more towards the Arabic side with violins and other percussions. Also if you notice, even the drums have been tuned to give an oriental feel. And one more thing, when you haven't seen the video for their song "Believer" you don't expect this video to make any sense for you. So don't jump to conclusions. It's not easy to fuse Arabic tunes with metal and these guys are doing it wonderfully.
They are talented and cool... And also humble, what is really rare these days
it's just simple
For example the Scandinavian metal bands and Celtic metal bands use his local musical instruments so myrath band does the same
And I think the oriental metal was born now with this band
"Believer" and "no holding back"and " shehili" this songs of myrath band its very very interestings , you must react this songs
Myrath is a tunisian band, shehili is a word used to describe hot dry wind.
those drums are called "Darbouka"
This tune is cool ❤
I just found this band and I love them then I saw this video
Listen to their song "wide shut" it's amazing and real prog.
hello from tunisia
I always wanted you to react to Eths (my favorite band). I'll settle for you seeing the 2008 session drummer of Eths, Morgan, in his new band Myrath.
Also you should check out Zahers (vocalist) singing on Star Academy. He can do so many things.
Can you please make a podcast so I can listen to it at work 😂
Mvtthew Cvrlson yo I was thinking the same thing tbh
i've been waiting for ages for you to react to this band.
their new songs are good and all. but you should listen to their older songs especially the whole Desert Call album.
Pretty kick-ass song!
I want that Christmas shirt.
Tunisians pride , myrath ❤️❤️❤️
dude this band is dope!
Check some of the older stuff, especially Tales of the Sands album. The new one def. sounds like a more mainstream mash with their original sound.
This type of song belongs in Eurovision.
you can watch Myrath's beyond the stars song.
I was a big fan of their earlier work, but not so much of their last album. I'm hoping that their new one is gonna be great too!
It's a prog band. But they include sounds from their country. When I'm not feeling bad I listen to them and instantly get a smile.
I want to know how Mike feels about Okilly Dokilly. They dropped a new album last month (they have a music video for Reneducation) and I love it but I want to know what Mike has to say about a metal band centered around Ned Flanders from The Simpsons XD
Can u do some Coheed content? I'd be so happy.. whether it's a breakdown or it's a listen for the first time there's tons of great songs I think u would appreciate.. the gutter.. the dark scentencer... There's a few just amazing songs from that unheavenly creatures album.. and then In keeping secrets of the silent Earth; 3 (iksotse:3)
+1 for Coheed!
Woooooooooohooooooooo
Those "canter" scenes looked to fucking amazingly false, those movements forward while the horsehead does nothing is just great😂
Myrath is amazing
I believe you're referring to the Goblet drum, which is called "Darbooka" in Tunisia 😁
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblet_drum
If you wanna know the story of sultan Jafar then you have to check their previous single, "Believer" :)
Is that shirt merch from the band Pentagram or Venom?
