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.

I feel my time
My life runs out
So hold your darling
Your darling in your arms
Because it leaves
Dance again
With me and we
Will find an end
For all I call
Leaving

Line by Line Meaning
Time your time
Measure your life's moments wisely
It fades Away
Every moment passes, never to return
I feel my time
Awareness of the ticking clock of life
My life runs out
The finite nature of existence
So hold your darling
Embrace your loved one
Your darling in your arms
Hold them close and cherish every moment together
Because it leaves
Life's precious moments are fleeting
Very soon so soon
The passage of time is swift and unrelenting
Dance again
Celebrate life's joyful moments
With me and we
Shared experiences and memories make life richer
Will find an end
All things, including life itself, have a conclusion
For all I call
Despite the inevitability of endings, it's important to appreciate and enjoy life as much as possible
Leaving
Even as we create new memories, the old ones are forever behind us
