BIOGRAPHY:
AETERNITAS was founded in 1999 by Anja and Alexander Hunzinger. The first and very well received concept album „requiem“
followed in August 2000, combining a variety of different stylistic elements - from classical music to metal - and Latin lyrics.
The second album „La Danse Macabre“, released in 2004, combined contemporary gothic metal with classical, electronic and
theatrical influences. This unique symbiosis of various musical genres led to the band‘s dark and melancholic sound which can
best be described as Gothic Theatre Metal.
These two concept albums paved the way for the subsequent evolution of AETERNITAS and their next album, the gothic musical
„Rappacinis Tochter“ („Rappaccini‘s Daughter“).
This was AETERNITAS’ gift to the gothic and metal Scene, and to the German musical enthusiasts in general: their very own
gothic musical. „Rappacinis Tochter“ was performed live on stage more than 50 times between 2008 and 2011, and the album
„Rappacinis Tochter - Highlights“ received an award as „Best Musical Album“ at the German Rock and Pop Prize in 2008.
Since 2012, AETERNITAS have been working on their new concept album „House Of Usher“, based on the famous short story
„The Fall of the House of Usher“ by Edgar Allan Poe.
