According to Rudy Wumpscut is a fictional term with no meaning, although some people do interpret the prefix wump as womb.

Some people -- who? I can see the connection with fx. Embryodead but a source might be appropriate. -- Lady Lysine Ikinsile 21:44, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

As per discussion on Talk:Assemblage 23 and Category talk:Goth, removing from Category:Goth and adding to List of non-goth musical artists popular within goth subculture. - Korpios 02:08, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Weyland-Yutani logo

"The logo for Wumpscut bears a strking resemblance to the logo for the fictional Weyland-Yutani corporation of Alien lore."

Ratzinger actually said in an magazine interview a few years back (possibly Kerrang, I remember I only brought it because it mentioned the Wumpscut interview) that they managed to secure licensing for the audio samples they used from Aliens series of films from Fox; he's always been a fan of them and the use of the logo is a direct tribute. I can't find an online version of this interview so I'm not going to add it, just thought you may be interested in those little facts! CitrusC 04:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] re the merge

Wumpscut: is what you get when you type ":Wumpscut:" into the search box and hit go. the text on Wumpscut: is just a straight copy of the content here which is "Copyright © 2001-2005, Metropolis Records. All rights reserved". i'm not that hot on copyright or anything so does anyone know if using the text verbatim is a big no-no or if there any kind of fair use thingy? other than that i don't see any reason why the info on the metropolis site can't be incorperated in some originally worded way into Wumpscut. --MilkMiruku 15:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I think everything submitted has to be submitted under the GPL. If the copy was submitted by the person who writed the original content, it's OK. Otherwise it has to go. Obviously, being record label promotional stuff it isn't exactly NPOV either. :S GeorgeBills

Ugh. "writed the original content". :S GeorgeBills

  • Wumpscut: is currently marked as a copyvio, so I'd tread carefully here. Saberwyn 00:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wumpscut spelling

I'd prefer to change all entries of :Wumpscut: (with capital letter) to minuscule, cause that's how it's actually spelled -> :wumpscut: --Shandris 11:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Fixed for you.--Aleron235 18:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Picture of their logo would be nice, too --Shandris 22:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure? Their website has :Wumpscut: everywhere -- look on http://www.betondisco.de/about.html for instance. 78.86.151.120 13:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
It is true that the name is capitalized in many places on the site. However, there are multiple albums in which the name is lower case (Wreath of Barbs, Music For A Slaughtering Tribe, etc.) on the package art. The other albums that I had the script was such that you could not really tell. Another thought is how much influence/interest in the text on that site. They may just design it on a high level, and not scour the text for such things. I think we should default to the album art, as I expect they have much more interest in it's style. So I vote for lower case.--–m.f (t • c) 14:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why? Why? Why???

Can someone explain why W turned to shit after Embryodead? Did an alien suck Rudy's brain out? Did he get married? What? -- noosphere 03:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Your opinion on the matter is your own, though it is probably better to leave such discussion to a music discussion forum. For the record many artists change their style over time, and naturally not all of their fans are going to appreciate it. Avador 23:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
What was behind W's drastic style change? That is the question. -- noosphere 00:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
That's really a question to be asked of Rudy, not of his fans.Blutpanzer 01:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I was always of the opinion that Born Again (Wumpscut) was a high point and everything else before and after it was for the most part shit. Sure, the other albums would have one or 2 good songs but they were largely noise music crap after that.. kind of like Skinny Puppy after the 80s ended.--Dr who1975 (talk) 05:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
afaik, Wreath Of Barbs is what is considered a turning point in :w:'s style --Duke B. Garland (talk) 15:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
