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.

Rotten Meat
:Wumpscut: Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're rotten meat
Really weird the way the mind works
The song "Rotten Meat" by :Wumpscut: can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on the listener's perspective. On one level, the lyrics can be seen as a comment on the disposable nature of modern relationships. The line "no time to think about you're rotten meat" suggests that the singer does not value their partner as a thinking, feeling human being, but rather as an object to be used and discarded.
At the same time, there is a sense of resignation and even self-loathing in the lyrics. The reference to the mind's strange workings suggests that the singer is aware that their behavior is not healthy, but feels powerless to change it. The line "you're rotten meat" may even be seen as an admission of guilt, as if the singer recognizes that they are contributing to the decay and destruction of the relationship.
Overall, "Rotten Meat" is a bleak and unsettling song that raises uncomfortable questions about the nature of human connection and the dark impulses that can drive us.
Line by Line Meaning
No time to think about
There is no time for contemplation or introspection
You're rotten meat
You, as a person, are in a state of decomposition and decay
Really weird the way the mind works
It is strange how the human psyche operates

Christian Smits
We are the masters
But our rights are forgotten
But are lying ??
Your heart has to beat
We built our nature
For you to exist here
So feel the pouring rain
Seers win the ???
The universe it's ours
But our rights they are forgotten
???
The winters ??
You are the victims
Your rights are forgotten
Dying like a stone
And left us all alone
No time to think about
You're rotten meat
We are the masters
Our rights are forgotten
Dying like a stone
Your breath stands alone
Really weird, the way the mind works
We are the masters
And you are rotten meat
