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.

On the Run
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's asking the ladies to go for a ride
The lyrics of ":Wumpscut:'s" song "On the Run" are cryptic and require a thorough interpretation. "If you keep an open mind, you'll discover a dark secret" means that there are things hidden beneath the surface that can only be uncovered if you approach them with an open mind. The dark secret might refer to the singer's inner demons, which he has kept hidden for a long time. He might be asking the listener to confront these hidden secrets and to uncover them through their lyrics.
In the next line, "He's asking the ladies to go for a ride," the singer seems to be addressing a woman, asking her to go out with him. This could mean that he wants to share his dark secrets with her, or it might be a metaphor for something else. Either way, the lyrics of the song suggest a sense of urgency and a desire to connect with someone in a meaningful way.
Overall, the song "On the Run" is a haunting and introspective look at the darker aspects of the human experience. The lyrics are open to interpretation but convey a sense of longing and a need for connection.

This song reminds me a lot "strap me down" by leaether strip, is very similar. no doubt Rudy was inspired by LS as he said.

Are these quotes from a movie? ( "If you keep an open mind- You will discover dark secrets." "I can't be better!" "AHAHAH- Don't laugh!" "Talk amongst yourselves..." )
