Not just another action, horror, apocalypse, thriller, heavy metal opera.

What is Aeterno Elementum? Part fable, part allegory, it is totally original. It has been described as a Symphonic Heavy Metal Opera with extras. What else can you call a show that has martial artists, light dancers, aerialists, two operatic Sopranos and a Tenor, actors, chorus (The wonderful Creepy Effing Monks), lights, smoke and one of the Northwest’s most talented bands: Ara’Kus? In a word: Unique.

The music of Aeterno Elementum is being released in three parts:

On July 31st, the Historic Everett Theatre saw the première of this show, which also constituted the release of Volume I, and it was a rocking success. Volume II was a smaller affair at a local club. We busted our chops, our buns and busted all records to put on this show. The trouble is we also busted our bank account. Now Aeterno Elementum is due to return to the stage, even bigger, bolder and more fantastic than before and to finish the release with the Volume III CD. But we need help to do it.

See a review of Volume I here.

We need:

Theatre Rental - $1000.00

Sound Equipment - $650.00

100 Posters - $97.21

5,000 Postcards - $113.40

Set/costumes/repairs - $300.00

Volume III CDs - $99.00

Total of $2259.61

Should we be fortunate enough to go over this amount, any extra will be applied to the cost of printing up the final full version of the CDs.

    Same as $500 level, but rather than appearing as a Creepy Effin' Monk (tm) you'll be written in to the script as a character who will then be forever immemorialized as part of the Aeterno Elementum mythos
