June 2026 Feature Release - The Infinite Edition

So just like that we find that a new month is upon us which of course means that we’ll be nominating a brand new monthly feature release for each clan. This essentially means that we’re asking you to rate, review & discuss our chosen features for no other reason than because we enjoy the process & banter. We’re really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our chosen releases so don’t be shy.

This month's feature release for The Infinite, nominated by me (Shadowdoom9 (Andi)), is the brand-new 7th album by Tunisian progressive/symphonic metal band Myrath, Wilderness of Mirrors. Myrath's new album has some of the best of their Middle Eastern-flavored progressive metal to offer. It's an excellent place to start for anyone up to diving into the world of Myrath.

I've done my review, here's its summary:

With their 7th album Wilderness of Mirrors, Myrath continue to step up their game, with slight improvement in the production. I also loved how audible the bass is now. As always, the amount of worldwide influences makes Myrath one of the most diverse and versatile bands around. Middle Eastern symphonic progressive metal is a style that Myrath can perform at ease, and that's something worth praising a lot. One of those tracks has encouraged me to start listening to Myrath full-time after about 10 years of hearing about them but brushing them aside, thanks to one of the monthly Infinite playlists. I honestly wasn't expecting oriental prog-metal to hit me so hard, but I'm glad it did. It's also worth noting the soaring singing of vocalist Zaher Zorgati and the Middle Eastern arrangements by keyboardist Kevin Codfert. All in all, Wilderness of Mirrors may be tied with Karma as my favorite Myrath album that isn't the glorious Tales of the Sands. It's too spectacular to ignore. Myrath needs to be appreciated more, and they shall!

4.5/5
