"Ara'Kus is an innovative melding of operatic and classical influences and progressive thrash and symphonic black metal. With a theatrical flair and a penchant for the epic, Ara'Kus strives to create a dark, compelling atmosphere with every performance and every song."

"AraKus is an abominable melding of Heavy Thrash and Melodic Ambience with complex compositions that attack the simplicity of mainstream music and leaves the listener in shock from the sheer disregard for modern trends. Incorporating elements from nearly every branch of metal, AraKus strives to create a sound all its own."

"Aeterno Elementum is the first original heavy metal opera from Ara’Kus Productions. Set to the music of Ara’Kus’ debut album of the same name, it features haunting operatic and choral performances, actors, dancers and aerialists, as well as the symphonic heavy metal that Ara’Kus has become known for over the years."
