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.

Evoke
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make it true
I take your bones away
Here on your last day
And evoke
When I get evoked
You can't feel the danger
You can't see
Here in the darkness
Evoke
The lyrics to :Wumpscut:'s song Evoke suggest a somber, almost menacing tone. The lyrics convey patience, as the singer waits for something to come to fruition. The line "I take your bones away" is particularly haunting, implying a violent act, while the following line "Here on your last day" suggests a sense of finality. The repetition of the word "evoke" throughout the song adds to the disquieting atmosphere, as it implies a sense of control or influence over the subject, who is described as "innocent like a lamb."
The song also makes use of sensory language, such as "Here in the darkness," to paint a picture of a foreboding, perhaps even dangerous setting. The overall impression is one of manipulation, with the singer positioned as a powerful figure who can evoke reactions and emotions from others.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll wait for you
I will be patient and wait for you to fulfill your promise.
To make it true
To make our plan a reality.
I take your bones away
I will mercilessly strip away everything that makes you who you are.
Here on your last day
This is your final moment before your entire existence is obliterated.
And evoke
I will summon forth my own power and the power of the dark forces that surround us.
When I get evoked
When my own evil is unleashed.
Innocent like a lamb for me
You are naive and helpless, completely under my control.
You can't feel the danger
You have no awareness of the peril you are in.
You can't see
You are blinded to the truth of what I am doing to you.
Here in the darkness
This horror takes place in complete obscurity.
Evoke
To call forth the forces of evil.
