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.

Bleed
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without the liquid of life
The lyrics to ":Wumpscut:'s" song "Bleed" explore the idea that life is dependent on the fluidity of blood that runs through our veins. The opening lines, "you can't exist without the liquid of life," express the idea that without this vital bodily fluid, our existence would not be possible. The song also has a darker and more intense tone, with lyrics like "the only way to escape the pain, is to bleed." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for emotional pain or physical pain, both of which are often internalized and require an outlet or release.
The phrase "bleed" itself creates a strong image of injury, but it could also represent the act of releasing pent up emotions or personal demons. The lyrics also allude to the idea of addiction, with the line "I can't resist to cut my wrist." This could be taken as a desire to feel a sense of control in their life or as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions.
In conclusion, the lyrics to ":Wumpscut:'s" song "Bleed" are a meditation on the fragility of human life, and the interdependence of our bodies and minds. At its core, the song is about survival and finding a way to cope with the pain and pressure of existence.
