Ratzinger was the creative force behind Wumpscut, occasionally employing the help of others as guest artists. Ratzinger cites the influence of such bands as Leæther Strip as his reason for making the transfer from DJing to recording music.
The release of the song "Soylent Green", which is named after the 1973 movie and also contains audio samples from the German dubbed version, first attracted attention to Wumpscut. Since its release in 1993, it has become a frequently played song at events and clubs in the gothic and industrial subcultures and its associated splinter groups, both in Germany and the United States.
So far Ratzinger has published numerous recordings and remixes for other artists. Wumpscut is also very well known for elaborate box set releases including limited versions of a CD or LP release in a box with additional and often also limited bonus material (bonus tracks,energy drinks, posters, pins, stickers, bags, flags, etc.). Wumpscut albums are reissued regularly with variant artworks and occasionally bonus tracks. Standalone merchandise is also available such as caps, mugs, etc.

Angel
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To me, come to me
Angel, belong to me
To me, belong to me
Angel, you have wings
To fly, fly to me
Angel, do you doubt?
No need to have doubt
Angel, feel my love
My love for you
Feel my love for you
Angel, carry me
To you, to your home, to paradise
Angel, I would lie for you
For you, just for you, with my yearning heart
And angel, I would die for you
For you, just for you, with my burning heart
Angel, don't feel liable
For me and my pain don't feel liable
'Cause angels must be free
High up from this world in eternity
Angel, I could clip your wings
To catch all your love, to calm your pain
But angel, this would be so wrong
You would bleed to death immediately
So angel, come to me
Heal my glaring pain voluntarily
I love you
The lyrics to "Angel" by :Wumpscut: evoke themes of longing, devotion and sacrifice. The singer or protagonist of the song, calls out to an angel, asking them to come to him and belong to him. He acknowledges the angel's wings and encourages them to fly to him, without any doubt or hesitation. The singer’s love for the angel is evident as he asks them to feel his love. He then requests the angel to carry him to paradise and later confesses his devotion by stating that he would lie and die for the angel.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of guilt on the singer’s part for asking the angel to come to him, as it would mean clipping the angel’s wings which would lead to their death. Instead, the singer realizes that the angel must be free, high up from this world in eternity. He pleads with the angel to heal his pain voluntarily and admits his love for the angel.
Overall, the lyrics to "Angel" by :Wumpscut: depict a deeply emotional and spiritual connection between the singer and the angel, with the singer willing to make any sacrifice for their love.

This is a lovely song. It is both bizarre and beautiful, thought-evoking and mysterious, and above all, soothing. Whenever I listen to this song I am almost certain my heart rate slows. It manages to calm me more than any other song I've heard.

Sounds like a man proclaiming his love from beyond the edge of sanity.I like it.

This song tears my heart out every time I hear it. It is far too close to home. I will never be able to stop loving her, even now.
Twiz T McNipz
This song honestly helped me get over my ex because of that clip. i wouldnt clip a birds wings to keep it for myself so i figured, letting her go would let her be happier and help with me getting over it.
Tom He
Well its been 7 years. Did you get her or what happened?
Nobody Productions
@Tom He Appreciate the check in Tom :) I found new love, we have a far healthier and happier relationship than I had with my ex by a longshot. I no longer view relationships as a state of ownership, and experienced a very deep and profound maturing process and growth moving past abandonment issues into a better mode of self confidence and optimism!

@Nobody Productions
That sounds very good. Thanks for the good answer.
