In My Head

Black Flag

A claustrophobic descent into psychological friction. Atonal guitars and heavy, sludgy rhythms transform hardcore punk into a jagged, experimental internal monologue.

Moments Worth Listening For
the dissonant, polyphonic guitar motif in White Hot that sounds like a machine breaking down
the sudden, jarring transition into the title track's repetitive, hypnotic bass line
the way the tempo drags into a sludge-heavy crawl during the final minutes of Society's Tease
