THE THIRTEENTH SUN

The Thirteenth Sun biography

The story of the band begins in 2011 when Radu (vocals and lead guitars) started writing the first songs together with Marius Muntean (keyboards). They both came at that particular time from different areas of musical styles but both had a lot of common roots as well and the whole idea was to create music combining elements from the different music genres that defined each of them in order to gain a balance in the end. Later, in 2012 Septimiu HARSAN (drums) and Marius LICU (guitars) joined the band and the structure of the songs was then crystallized for what was to become the first material released by the band named Genesis. During the recording sessions of Genesis, that was released in December 2012, the band was joined by Flavius MISARAS (bass guitar). In this new form, soon after their first release, the band started working on new songs for the next material, which was set to be a full-length album. The band started recordings on their first album named Stardust which gathered all the elements of each part into a sum. After a couple of years of playing together and recording the first two materials with the band, due to some logistic issues Flavius was often replaced on live shows by Alexandru GRIGORAS and recently by Alecu who took over the entire bass duties. The music combines many elements from the metal style and the progressive rock with influences from OPETH and ARCTURUS.
