XIII. století

The Czech band XIII. Stoětky describes its music as gothic rock. According to interviews with its frontman Petr Štěpán, XIII. Stoětky distances itself from any association with the work or focus of groups that describe themselves as metalgothic or doomgothic. The band was formed in 1990 from the punk band HNF (Hrdinové nové fronty) and released their first album Amulet two years later.
