cut.rate.box consists of g.wygonik and clint sand. Both share songwriting, orchestration, production, concept and graphic design, while live g.wygonik provides vocals and clint manipulates guitars and keyboards.
The cut.rate.box live performance is an emotion-filled and intense experience. To maintain an original and expressive performance, each song in the set is altered from the original album version. Because of the intricacy of the material, pre-recorded backing tracks are used, but are combined with spontaneously created synth, drum, samples, and guitar manipulations.
The cut.rate.box live experience is the combustion of the ideas originally presented in CD form.
In addition to their headlining slots, cut.rate.box has performed as opening act for many industrial favorites including Nine Inch Nails, Pop Will Eat Itself, Pigface, Die Warsau, Alien Sex Fiend, Foetus, Sheep On Drugs, VAST, Covenant, VNV Nation, Beborn Beton, and Clear Vision.
cut.rate.box has label representation with WTII Records in North American. European releases were handled through ACCESSION RECORDS.

Misery
cut.rate.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never believe the action
Slow dissolve
Like paper under water
Sounds collapsing
Tethered worlds collide
Wings are burning
Now come alive
Oh misery
I'd do anything for you
Don't desert me
Time is all I have to lose
Oh misery
I'd do anything for you
Don't desert me
I am on my knees for you
Swallow meaning
Eternity in code
Heady passion
Reflection overload
Oh misery
I'd do anything for you
Don't desert me
Time is all I have to lose
Oh misery
I'd do anything for you
Don't desert me
I am on my knees for you
Cycle walk away
Never believe the action
Slow dissolve
Like paper under water
Ether distraction
Focus formulated
Render awaken
A daemon in disguise
The lyrics to cut.rate.box's song "Misery" depict the singer's desperation and devotion to someone or something that brings them immense pain and sorrow. The opening lines suggest that the singer has tried to break free from this cycle of suffering but is unable to do so. The use of "cycle" and "action" implies repeated behavior and attempts to change, while "walk away" indicates a desire to escape. However, the following lines ("Never believe the action / Slow dissolve / Like paper under water") suggest a feeling of resignation, as if the singer has given up trying to break free from their misery.
The second verse ("Swallow meaning / Eternity in code / Heady passion / Reflection overload") further emphasizes this theme of desperation and despair. The singer seems to be searching for a deeper meaning or purpose but is unable to find it. Instead, they are consumed by their passion and overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions.
Throughout the song, the repeated refrain of "Oh misery / I'd do anything for you / Don't desert me / I am on my knees for you" reinforces the idea that the singer is trapped in this cycle of suffering and cannot escape. The use of the word "misery" as a proper noun suggests that this suffering has taken on a life of its own and has a power over the singer that they cannot break.
Overall, the lyrics to "Misery" suggest a sense of hopelessness and desperation in the face of overwhelming pain and suffering. The singer is trapped in a cycle from which they cannot escape, and their only hope is to cling to their suffering and try to find meaning in it.
