The Apoplexy Twist Orchestra

"Hide me in your humiliation." Valentine's Day, 2022. Since 2013, this day has been spent with a select screamo band to agonize alongside to, and this year is no different. Why would it be? As the old adage goes, misery loves company, and this is it. It's the best it'll get on a day like today.

The Apoplexy Twist Orchestra were a five-piece screamo/emoviolence band from Germany that were around from 2000 to 2004. Members of this band were also active in Resurrectionists and Republic Of Dreams. Their discography consists of a slew of splits with some incredible bands including La Quiete and Louise Cyphre. Their final release and only LP, Create The New is undoubtedly their magnum opus and definitely the essential release to listen to today. Sonically, they are incredibly chaotic, with grinding, discordant tremolo-picked chords and harshly screamed vocals, with only slight spots of melody between them. Fans of other German screamo bands like June Paik, Tristan Tzara, and splitmates Louise Cyphre will definitely love this, if such a feeling can even exist today. Don't enjoy.
