Bite The Sun + Halo Of The Sun + Dream Of The Sun

SUNFEST is not a festival in the traditional sense. It is a gathering of like-minded bands united not only by the sun symbolism in their names but, above all, by a shared emphasis on a modern take on heavy music, a distinctive atmosphere, and a unique creative approach.

BITE THE SUN (alternative metalcore)

Hailing from Brno, Bite the Sun deliver a blend of atmospheric metalcore, striking melodies, and heavy riffs. Their live shows are known for their focus on the audiovisual experience and a cinematic atmosphere, enhanced by projections and an elaborate stage show. The band’s motto, "Drop tunings, not bombs," perfectly encapsulates their approach to music.

Kladno-based Halo of the Sun has established a solid foothold in the local progressive metalcore scene over the past few years. Their sound combines technical precision, melodic passages, and modern production. In early 2026, they released the EP *Hyperconnected*, which thematically explores the loss of identity, the pressures of the digital world, and internal conflicts.

Prague’s Dream of the Sun builds its sound on a melancholic atmosphere, personal lyrics, and raw energy. They combine catchy choruses with heavy passages, merging influences from the modern metal scene—incorporating electronics and atmosphere—with the energy and directness of old-school nu-metal.
