ROD1313

ROD1313 is an instrumental/metal project founded in 2016 in Uppsala/Sweden by guitarist Miguel Rodrigues aka Rod.
He began playing guitar at the age of 14 inspired by a wide range of artists.

Rod began his musical career in 1990 and over the years played with several other bands.
In October 2016 Rod finally decided to give birth to a project he had in mind a few years ago ROD1313.

His first single “Scars” was released in 2017 which brought great attention from both fans and the media. In early 2019, the first Ep “Gravity” saw the light of day and received very high scores from both the press and the public throughout the world.

After the well succeeded "Gravity" Rod decides to start writing new songs for a new Ep.
The writing process took place at his home studio in Uppsala/Sweden and after 18 months of hard work, the pre-production is finally done.

The recordings of "Dark Clouds" were completed in May 2020 and this time mixed and mastered by Carlos Rocha at Eyeball Recording Studios.
Songs like Witness, Nothing Left, Reflection, Dark Clouds, and The Awakening (featuring the former "Império dos Sentados" keyboard player Luis Justino) show a natural musical evolution and are a true example of beautiful melodies and powerful riffs that describe Rod's deep feelings in this work.
