Today Haus Arafna is numbered among the protagonists of the so-called "post-industrial" genre. The long creative period from the youthful years till today, has resulted in a multi-layered and extraordinarily varied sound. It would take more than just one or two songs to convey the full extent of Haus Arafna's output.
While the beginnings were stamped with energetic noise-eruptions Mr. and Mrs. Arafna rapidly developed their own unique mix, combining different streams of dark electronic music in an inimitable fashion, resulting in Haus Arafna's outstanding status.
To reinforce this Galakthorrö reanimated the genre-phantom "angst pop", at the same time distinguishing it from the the already belaboured "industrial" tag. However, there is no denying the roots of Haus Arafna: The raw lo-fi sound image, analogue synthesizer sounds, noise rhythms, and tape footage point to the "industrial music" of the 1970s.
In contrast to how things were done back then, Haus Arafna now strives continually to cultivate more and more new experimentation and improvisation, with text and vocals to be developed into innovative inspiring Songs. Over and again, certain pieces produce such levels of energy, that DJs try them out on the dance-floor. That is why Haus Arafna has become known beyond the borders of the Industrial scene, with such club hits as "The Last Dream of Jesus", or "Für Immer".
Haus Arafna do not however make dance music, neither does their work serve as mere entertainment. Haus Arafna considers art as the battlefield of the soul, and steer with their music through the deep morass of the human mind. The inability of people to conquer the negative aspects of life in the community is demonstrated through Haus Arafna's manifold use of symbols, metaphors, and double-entendre. In this way the duo has been able to construct, with the help of their omni-present musical characteristics, a frame for the whole of their artwork, which is also not lacking in graphical identity.

The lyrics of Haus Arafna's song "I Kill to Survive" embody an intense and harrowing experience of chaos, pain, and desperation. The repeated lines "Can't hear you! Can't see you! Can't feel myself!" express a feeling of overpowering sensory overload that leaves the singer disconnected from the world around them. The line "My heart is broken" could be seen as an expression of emotional pain or a metaphorical way of expressing the singer's loss of control. The subsequent line, "I'm drowning! I'm drowning! Hell is open!" conjures an image of the singer being consumed by a dark, suffocating force with no escape in sight.
The chorus, "I kill to survive! Don't kill to be recognized!" hints at the idea that the singer is violently lashing out as a means of self-preservation, rather than for any kind of personal gain or glory. The line "Kill! Kill! Last Exit Suicide." brings the song to a haunting close, suggesting that the singer's violent tendencies are ultimately leading them towards a self-destructive end.

На самом деле я рада, что у этой талантливой группы нет особой популярности. Истинное, особое творчество – оно не для всех. Не всем дано его понять и насладиться им.
