The Thirteenth Sun (RO) – Ambient/Progressive Metal
The band’s story begins in 2011, when Radu (vocals and lead guitar) started writing the first pieces together with Marius Muntean (keyboards). Both of them came, at that time, from different areas of musical styles. However, both had a lot of common roots. Thus, the whole idea was to create music by combining elements from different music genres. Elements that defined each of them separately. All in order to obtain that sound balance, which is unique, in a way.
Later, this became the very essence of the whole project, making music through shared experiences. The aim, however, is to guide the listener towards getting rid of the boundaries of daily routine. And also becoming able to look beyond the limits.
“Because the night sky often makes us wonder about the unlimited possibilities surrounding us. Therefore, it all happened as a natural thing, to establish a starting point of the story that develops from this sea of possibilities.This is where the band’s name comes from… A fixed point in the night sky, linked to a special number, with an interesting characteristic, among many others. All this refers to our current place on the canvas… and all filters depend on the eye of the beholder.”
The band is currently working on the third release, with drummer Andrei Jumuga (dordeduh, Ordinul Negru etc.)

About SoundArt Festival:
Now at its 5th edition, SoundArt is a brave project, developing in a social environment in which events focused on a certain musical niche require massive work to be built and communicated to the public.
SoundArt is not a festival with bands singing according to a specific musical recipe which turned successful. It surprises the audience with personal elements, reinventing itself over time. Moreover, it is in constant search and does not only refer to music, but also to other types of art. The objective is an extremely clear one: the promotion of arts and artists at the local level, in a very special musical framework. The main ambassador of the brand is SoundArt Festival, which takes the public on great musical journeys, bringing on its stage only bands selected with the soul.
