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.

:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dorantir curtizo
Brijt Injiia
Inrati curtizo
Wiran etejo
Churist churist
Yorcor
Brijt deslavt
Yocor
The lyrics to :Wumpscut:’s song Churist Churist are in a made-up language that combines different elements of German and English, making their meaning open to interpretation. The lyrics seem to involve a person or group of people urging someone or something to bite, with phrases like “Bijt Injia” and “Brijt deslavt.” The repetition of the phrase “Churist churist” in the chorus adds a sense of urgency or insistence to the song’s tone. The lyrics conclude with “Yor yocor,” which could mean “your turn” or “you are next” in the invented language.
The ambiguity of the language used in the song may be intentional, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue for listeners. The theme of biting or aggression that runs throughout the lyrics could be interpreted in many ways - a call to action, an expression of frustration or anger, or a reference to some kind of supernatural entity or force. The language used in the song may also reference the industrial music scene of the time, which often featured artists using distorted, indecipherable vocals to create a sense of dystopian or post-apocalyptic worlds.

Yeah, wumpscut does this kind of electro-industrial that is mostly different and a lot more moody and somewhat heavier than most ebm acts. Some ebm things are just boring, while Wumps remains interesting and futuristic. Look at his new album, Siamese, its amazing.
@MrVotives
This track is awesome straight thru, sends the chills down my spines. Absolutely splendid.

They used to...I'm almost 29 now, but when I was 16-17, sometimes the employees played really cool stuff. I had a similar experience to Ganjacide. I heard Funker Vogt in Hot Topic eons ago. Not even a full minute of the song played before I asked what he was playing. I stopped by the music store immediately afterwards and bought my first Funker Vogt CD. It opened up a new world of music for me.
@Steyr455
Yeah, I could see it being somewhat normal that long ago. I'm 24, and I don't ever remember them playing/displaying anything worth a damn. But glad to hear that it changes from place to place. It's amazing what one good band will do, and open up the door to an entirely new world of music =D

In "Churist Churist" and "Cannibal Anthem", the lyrics are written in an artificial language. What was the conscious behind creating this language?
Rudy: I think creating an own language demonstrates English speaking listeners how Germans often hear and (mis-)understand English songs: the music should be able to speak for itself without knowing anything about the lyrics. I wanted to create anything similar for Body Census as well, but wasn't able to manage in time.
