Wumpscut returns with brand new EP: 'Schlossgheist'
The cult dark electro act Wumpscut returns with a brand new EP entitled ‘Schlossgheist’. This new EP features 4 new tracks and 4 instrumentals. This new EP was released today by Metropolis Records on CD along with all digital and streaming formats.
Rudy Ratzinger serves as the mastermind behind Wumpscut, occasionally enlisting guest artists like Aleta Welling, P·A·L, and Selene for contributions, though these collaborations have been relatively limited.
Wumpscut’s initial performances trace back to the early 1990s, with Rudy Ratzinger showcasing his music in clubs throughout Bavaria and Southern Germany. In an interview from 1997, Ratzinger shared that his earliest ventures into EBM music were “Pornography” and “War Combattery,” both featured on “Defcon,” Wumpscut’s debut demo released in late 1991.
To this point, Rudy Ratzinger has produced seventeen studio albums, in addition to a collection of demos, compilation appearances, and remixes of previously deleted singles and EPs.
Side-Line also covered Wumpscut’s ‘Chew Chew Chew’.
