About: XIII. století

XIII. století is a gothic rock band from Jihlava founded in 1990 by brothers Petr and Pavel Štěpán, who transitioned from their earlier punk project HNF (Hrdinové nové fronty). Led by Petr Štěpán as songwriter, poet and writer, the band developed a distinctive aesthetic centered on dark romanticism and mythological imagery, performed exclusively in Czech. The 1992 debut album Amulet became a cornerstone of Czech gothic rock and established the band's devoted fanbase throughout the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany.
