After their debut album, Arctic Monkeys returned with an EP of completely new material, breaking all marketing plans in the progress. It ranges from ultra-aggressive goth noise to the slacker-pop.
III shows a delicate whisper of the the ethereal. While still personifying the dark gothic caverns and synth laden pulses, Crystal Castles manages to create a compelling dark and futuristic ghostscape.
Hardcore punk goes goth in the hands and screams of AFI. Grind in some metal and a little emo, and you've got a kickin' album with "The Art of Drowning."
