Aside from the basic instrumentation within black metal of guitars, bass, drums and keyboards with appropriately despondent and wretched vocals, the artist of the same name makes extensive use of synthesizers and acoustic guitars to create a sound that's extremely sinister yet alluring in a distressing way. The music has an allure that's completely unique to this project, and it plays upon discomfort, not just emotionally, the music conjures feelings of disorientation and dread, but also sonically, the distorted and noisy guitars juxtaposed with the melancholic melodies of the synths and acoustic guitars sound wrong, you feel like these sounds don't belong together, but they somehow do, and you're then drawn in, like you're hypnotized and compelled to jump into a chasm.
It's truly an outstanding display of sheer creativity and dedication, Kerasfóra is a truly unique black metal-entity with a sound that's completely its own.
