Crystal Castles - Iii

Fakta III sees the experimental electronic duo pushing their sound into darker, more abrasive territory while maintaining their signature mix of haunting melodies and relentless beats. Originally released in 2012, the album marked a turning point with its raw emotional intensity, politically charged themes, and a shift toward a heavier, more atmospheric production style. Tracks like Plague and Wrath of God showcase the duo’s ability to create immersive, almost dystopian soundscapes, while Sad Eyes and Kerosene bring a frenetic energy that solidified their cult status. Praised for its bold, unfiltered approach, Crystal Castles’ III stands as one of the most striking and uncompromising statements in modern electronic music.
