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 ↴
I feel it leaking
Seeking
I'm seething with confusion
I'm sliding through
Your mind
And you, you try to comprehend
The mind cage of an animal
You swear
You saw it
And what did you really see?
What was
It?
What of it?
I'm looking through the dark
His red fingers flutter by
His air pushes past over the
Valleys I hold
What was it?
What of it?
He
Sits in static
Genetically still
The sound finds its
Way in
Grabs him by his ears
Dragging and screaming
Through olive glass
What was it?
What of it?
I'm looking through the dark
His red fingers flutter
By
His air pushes past over the valleys I hold
Seeing in circles
Trace in tracers
Wheel and
Angles
Angles within wheels
Seeing in circles
Trace in tracers
Wheel and angles
Angles within
Wheels
I found no peace in solitude
I found no chaos
In catastrophe
I found no peace in solitude
I found no
Chaos in catastrophe
It's only their words they
Speak
So speak with your own
With your own
The lyrics of the song Fear in Motion by :Wumpscut: explore the concept of confusion and seeking in life. The artist expresses the feeling that time is running out, and this feeling is causing confusion and a desire to find answers. The artist is sliding through the listener's mind while they are trying to comprehend nothing. This sense of confusion is compared to the mental cage of an animal, and the artist asks the listener what they saw and of what importance it was.
The central character of the song is stuck in a static state, genetically still, while the sound finds its way in and grabs him by the ears, dragging and screaming through olive glass. The artist is looking for answers and watching as red fingers flutter by and air pushes past over the valleys they hold. The artist is seeing in circles, tracing in tracers, wheel and angles, and angles within wheels. They found no peace in solitude or chaos in catastrophe, so they are urging the listener to speak with their own words.

There is no time
There is no time to waste on this
I feel it leaking
I am losing control of my emotions
Seeking
I am searching for something
I'm seething with confusion
I am overwhelmed with confusion
I'm sliding through
Your mind
I am navigating through your thoughts
And you, you try to comprehend
Nothing
You are attempting to understand something that cannot be understood
The mind cage of an animal
The mind is like a cage for an animal
You swear
You saw it
You are convinced that you saw something
And what did you really see?
What was
It?
What of it?
You are questioning the truth of what you saw
I'm looking through the dark
His red fingers flutter by
His air pushes past over the
Valleys I hold
What was it?
What of it?
I am searching through the darkness for something that may or may not exist
He
Sits in static
Genetically still
He is unchanging and immovable
The sound finds its
Way in
Grabs him by his ears
Dragging and screaming
Through olive glass
The sound forcefully enters his mind and overpowers him
Seeing in circles
Trace in tracers
Wheel and
Angles
Angles within wheels
I am stuck in a perpetual cycle of confusion and uncertainty
I found no peace in solitude
I found no chaos
In catastrophe
I cannot find solace in being alone or in chaos and destruction
It's only their words they
Speak
So speak with your own
Do not rely on others to speak for you, use your own voice to be heard

@tylerperkinson1677
Protheus Khron wonder if it was intentional? Did rudy see further than most of us?
@nergalbanda
You DO realize Weyland-Yutani was the corporation from the first Alien film (1979) Yes?The emblem was used well before any of the games came out or the awful prequels and AvP. Yes he was aware of using the logo for his own project.
