Today, Myrath reveal their new single “Candles Cry” , the final peek into their upcoming new studio album “Karma” that will be released in exactly two weeks from now, on March 8th.
The song, a very special and personal one to the band, comes with a cinematic music video directed by Raf Reyntjens which was shot in May, 2023 in Belgrade (Serbia).
Says Kevin Codfert (producer & keyboarder of Myrath): “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 wants to encourage people to use music as an escape from their daily lifes.

“Myrath 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!” – Pär Sundström, Sabaton
“There are too many great songs on this album to pick favourites.” – 9/10, Powerplay
