Nawather is a Tunisian Metal Oriental band founded in 2013. by Raouf Jelassi (Occulta, Agony’s serenades) and Hichem Ben Amara (Occulta, Melmoth, Out Body Experience, Agony’s serenades) and has been joined by Ryma vocals, Yazid (ex Melmoth) on guitar , Saif (ex Myrath) drums and Nidhal Jaoua: Qanun
They provide us a special kind of music. Apart from their influence by many well-known occidental figures ,they are among the first who choose to marry Qanun, the king of Arabic instruments, to metal music. This instrument tends to play an indelible part in the Tunisian classical music called “malouf”. Nawather offers a music which smoothly alternates between authentic and western music .Such a cultural encounter is fostered by a harmonious duet between vocals : a female doing the clean voice and a male vocal performing the growl. The harshness of growl and guitars are contrasted to the melodic contribution of the Qanun and female vocal. 
In 2014 NAWATHER started the record of their first album ''Wasted years '' which gave the opportunity to have an exquisite taste of an orchestration made by Tunisian professional people in the music field. The songs represent a unique mixture of impeccable sounds with profound lyrics that fits the theme conveyed by the album.
In the 1st of may 2015 NAWATHER finished mixing and mastering the album ''Wasted years''.
In october 2015 the band signed a deal with the label M & O music for promotion and distribution .
