# Apocalipstix – War In My Head
Apocalipstix emerged from the European punk scene with a raw energy that defined their approach to garage rock and punk aesthetics. This 2006 release on Bolzkow Records captures the band at a pivotal moment, delivering five tracks of uncompromising punk attitude across a compact 7-inch vinyl format.
War In My Head showcases Apocalipstix's signature stripped-down sound, prioritizing immediacy and attitude over polish. The album opens with "No Control," a nearly two-minute assault that establishes the record's no-nonsense ethos. "Mountains Of Trash" follows, expanding slightly to showcase the band's ability to build momentum within punk's traditional brevity constraints. The German-language track "Kopfsalat" provides an interesting variation, demonstrating the band's willingness to experiment linguistically while maintaining their core punk identity.
The title track "War In My Head" stands as the record's centerpiece, stretching to nearly three minutes and serving as the album's most developed composition. It balances intricate guitar work with powerful vocal delivery, creating the record's most memorable moment. "Another Fucking Lovesong" closes the release with typical punk irreverence, its title encapsulating the band's tongue-in-cheek approach to lyrical subject matter while maintaining musical intensity throughout its brief runtime.
This 7-inch represents essential underground punk documentation from the mid-2000s European scene. For vinyl collectors seeking authentic garage punk with European sensibilities and genuine DIY spirit, War In My Head remains a worthwhile acquisition that captures a specific moment in punk's ongoing evolution.
