Says Kevin Codfert (producer & keyboardist 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 lives..
“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
With Karma Myrath solidify their place at the top of the metal scene with 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. Karma will be available as limited transparent red LP, black LP and Digipak.
