Arluna, Beyond God, Abstracted Mind

ABSTRACTED MIND:
Formed in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2020 by singer Juli Hope and guitarist Yamil Ladner,
Abstracted Mind is a Symphonic Metal band that blends powerful orchestral arrangements
with modern and progressive metal.
In 2021, Abstracted Mind embarked on their journey as a studio project, debuting with three
singles: ‘Nadie Podrá Cambiar’, ‘Ser Quien Soy’ and ‘Una Oportunidad’. Entirely self-produced
both musically and visually, these early works laid the foundation for a journey defined by
creativity, authenticity, and purpose.
After the pandemic, the duo relocated to The Netherlands, turning a new creative page with
music written in English opening their sound to a broader European audience. In 2024, the
band released ‘Eternals’ and ‘Despair’ -two striking singles with official videos- showcasing a
bold blend of progressive power and cinematic drama that defines the band’s evolving identity.
What began as a studio project evolved into a full live act when Rutger Klijn joined on bass
and Eva Levina on drums. With this new formation, the band was ready to take the stage and
make their presence felt in the international metal scene. They’ve since delivered powerful and
energetic performances across the Netherlands, and left their mark in Portugal at the 10th
Edition of Laurus Nobilis Music Festival
