Germany (1991 – present)

History and members

:WUMPSCUT: is an electro-industrial project from Germany. It was founded in May of 1991 by Bavarian disc jockey Rudy Ratzinger (born June 3, 1966).

Ratzinger has always been the main 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, “liquid soylent” 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.

Rudy Ratzinger has to date released 13 studio albums plus a number of compilations comprising of demos, compilation tracks and remixes from deleted singles & EPs. The 13th :wumpscut: album is out in April 2010. It is titled ‘Siamese’.

    :@wisbech: I totally agree with you. I have no favorite album, each and every one of them are differents and i like them. The new stuff is more mature, and earn more musically. The old albums have very good songs, but also some bad.

    So am I the only one who thinks the new stuff doesn't completely suck? (Anticipating many sarcastic "yes" comments.) I don't feel that any era is the best. The new stuff is somehow, I don't know, more mature. Won't deny that some of it is crap, but so is a lot of the old stuff.

    Does someone know if that old rumor that he is supposed to be the cousin of the current pope holds up?

    Embryodead and died blood of gamorrha are among my favorite industrial albums of all time. The sound of those two records are incredible from an engineering standpoint. Very wide Stanfield yet very upfront. Sounds like those old kick ass akai samplers.
