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.

WOLF
:Wumpscut: Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you know the danger's night
Do you think you can resist
Many came to win the fight
Many lifes were deadly kissed

Du bist besessen du bist besessen
Zu trinken ihr blut zu trinken ihr blut
Und zu toeten die bestie den wolf

It already scents your track
It already smells your trail
Feel its anger in your neck
Feel the panic you will fall
Death is calling baby the wolf is calling

Du bist besessen du bist besessen
Zu trinken ihr blut zu trinken ihr blut
Und zu toeten die bestie den wolf

Death is calling baby the wulf is calling

Overall Meaning

The song "Wolf" by :Wumpscut: is a dark and ominous warning about the danger of succumbing to one's inner animalistic desires. The lyrics speak to the primal nature of humanity, warning that when one gives into the temptation to drink blood and kill, they become possessed by their inner beast. The chorus warns that death is calling and the wolf is calling, urging the listener to resist the urge to give in to their primal instincts.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of impending doom, with the wolf already having scented the listener's track and smelling their trail. The use of the word "kissed" to describe the deadly outcome of many lives suggests that the desire to give in to one's animalistic nature is alluring, but ultimately leads to destruction.

The repetition of the phrase "du bist besessen" (you are possessed) adds to the sense of urgency and danger present in the song. The aggressive, driving beat underscores the warning, creating a tension that builds throughout the track.
