Strisc 'Degrade' (Konstructiv)
Fierce is the appropriate word here, as the ‘mysterious’ Strisc degrades his kick drum in order to give the track its snub-nosed sound. Given that ‘Degrade’ is constructed quite minimally, its ferocity comes from that kick, with its atmosphere murky and unsettling but stripped back to the bare essentials. Definitely one that will annoy your parents if you whack it up loud at home.
