Gruntbox, from the album Filth Beneath Bliss by Rysic Cygo.
Filth Beneath Bliss is the product of years of experimentation by Ash West-Mullen (A.K.A Mender/Rysic Cygo). Created as a way of going in new directions without the constraints of familiar forms and sounds; the album that has emerged is dark and brutal, but has traces of light shining throughout. Distorted melodies twist and turn as they interact with powerful breakbeats and filthy basslines.
