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.

Believe In Me
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They told you were a lying child
Didn't they?
Did they lie?
Yes they did
Did they try?
Yes they did
And I didn't slug you back
Did they lie?
Yes they did
Did they try?
Yes they did
So my friend
Leave all behind
Come with me
And you will find
So my friend
Leave all behind
Come with me
And you will find
'Cause I will show you
How to die
And I am the devil
The song Believe in Me by :Wumpscut: is a dark and ominous piece that can be interpreted in various ways. The song's main theme centers around a broken life, with the lyrics talking about someone who was once told that they were a lying child, with the question posed as to whether or not that person lied. The answer given is that "Yes they did," and that they tried as well. The song then takes a darker turn, with the mention of a slug, which suggests some form of physical altercation. The person speaks about not retaliating and asking if they were lied to and tried against. The song ultimately leads to a message of leaving everything behind and coming with the singer, the devil, to find the ultimate answer to the pain of life, which is death.
The lyrics of the song seem to deal with themes of betrayal and disillusionment, with the brokenness of the person's life stemming from past experiences and the actions of others. The song suggests that the devil may be a way to cope with the pain, which is a powerful message that can be interpreted in many ways. The use of violent language and imagery, however, makes the song quite disturbing, especially given the context of the rest of the lyrics.
