It all started 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 keyboard player Kevin Codfert, who watched Myrath's performance and later listened to Myrath's 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. This album was a turning point in Myrath carrier as the band was signed by the French label Brennus Music, who released Hope worldwide in September 2007
