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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Res no te sentit els ulls en blanc
La ment buida sense llum
Res no te sentit els ulls en blanc
Mirada sense color l'ansia interior
La meva obessio no te un final
La meva obessio ets llum

Res no te sentit els ulls en blanc
Nothing makes sense, with blank eyes
La ment buida sense llum
The empty mind has no light
Mirada sense color l'ansia interior
The longing inside has no color in the gaze
La meva obessio no te un final
My obsession has no end
La meva obessio ets llum
My obsession is the light
