Ara'Kus (Washington state, U.S.A.)

Ara'Kus is a form of theatrical metal that they call "fantasy rock opera." Ara'Kus is the stage production of a metal opera, a bit of which you can see by watching the videos below. On Bandcamp they have an album called Aeterno Elementum.

About: Ara'Kus Productions combines fantasy based, atmospheric, story-driven theater with their signature style of symphonic, operatic heavy metal.

Our premiere production, Aeterno Elementum tells the story of a world not entirely unlike our own which has descended into darkness, and of it’s inevitable and violent purification. Featuring fire dancing, aerial performance, acrobatic martial artists, fully armed and armored knights in large scale combat, and a cast of highly talented actors and musicians of all types, this is a spectacle that must be witnessed in order to be fully understood.
