Another in the line of '90s goths who forsook guitars for the sampler and synthesizer, Rudy Ratzinger's :wumpscut: project was born in 1991 when Ratzinger released his first cassette-only albums, Defcon and Small Chambermusicians. Vuz Records signed the German to their fold by the following year, and after a release on a 1993 Vuz compilation (New Forms of Entertainment), the first :wumpscut: album, Music for a Slaughtering Tribe, appeared in December 1993. After the release of the Dried Blood EP on Ant-Zen Records in 1994, Ratzinger formed his own Beton Kopf Media label by 1995 and released both another EP and a full-length that year (Gomorrha and Bunkertor 7, respectively). After the appearance of :wumpscut: on the US compilation The Remix Wars -- alongside Haujobb -- the Metropolis label signed Ratzinger to an American deal and re-released the entirety of his work, followed by the new full-length Embryodead. Born Again followed in 1998, and two years later :wumpscut: returned with Bloodchild. The aggro-industrial tinged Wreath of Barbs illustrated Ratzinger's fondness for dance music's past and present when it was issued in fall 2001. ~ John Bush, Rovi
These are all bands to check out for a good feel of what I like to call Core Industrial sounds, but all of these will come shallow in comparison to :Wumpscut. They seem to have a natural inclination for how it should be done and it reverberates within your soul.
@ Necrophoria: No one does it quite like :Wumpscut. Grendal & Tactical Sekt have the most comparable sound and voice. Combichrist has a more aggressive attack but has a similar punch and is a fav of mine. God Module doesn't have the heavy beats, but has the right spirit. Blutengel has a softer & more symphonic/dramatic version. Retrosic puts on a punk spin and it works quite well. There are more techno styles like Suicide Commando.

Awesome, so many songs that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!
I'm a metalhead, but there is just something about :Wumpscut: that speaks to my soul. @ old man winter, you mentioned their mellow quality, which is what i love about them, can you suggest anymore artists with the same vibe? Industrial isn't my element, but i'd like it to be
@Phyllis: Agreed, but Wumpscut has a depth that the others lack. Also, this has a more mellow, monotonous, stoner feel to it. I would opt for Wumpscut over all of those combined.
This is f**king awesome. Thanks for introducing me Pandora. Although - I wouldn't count anything industrial as "goth." Maybe goth inspired or influenced but not goth.
Yeah, this band has such a mellow, yet dark edge to them that makes them so amazing and unique. Most industrial is less trancy than this. This is great stuff for a gothic rave with skulls, black candles and just darkness rather than all those goddamn lights.
Wreath of Barbs is their best song. You can just lose yourself in it's synth textures and just become lost in a state of trance you never want to leave. It's like shrooms but not, it's just the power of the music that enfolds you in it's wings and carries yourself thru your mind. It is one of the greatest songs of all time.
