Haus Arafna

Haus Arafna

Biography:
Strange and brutal analog power noises from the house of Galakthorrö. Most releases are rather limited, like a few singles and the debut album ‘Blut”. This album contains delicate tunes like ‘Swastikas Commando’, an orgy of sound with harsh distorted vocals. The second album ‘Children of God” is a little more accessible, it even contains two dancefloor hits with the irrestible ‘Last dream of Jesus’ and ‘Anatomy of a Murder’. Not that this is music for the light-hearted, the world of Haus Arafna is merciless, full of urban nightmares. It reminds of vague B-movies, through its strange samples, screams, sounds and graphics. Misanthropy and hate are the main themes here. The ‘band’ consists of Mr. Arafna (electronics, vocals, programming) and Mrs. Arafna (realism, vocals, structuring).

A more laid-back sound has their project November Növelet, under which name they released the excellent album “From Heaven on Earth”, mostly filled with minimal slow electronic tracks, sometimes even with a trip-hop feel.
