EBM fans should definitely check it out! Featured comment (1/4) by Draven on 2001-07-31 Wumpscut were literally the first EBM band I heard and I was very impressed with the way the electronics woosh around the stereo field and make you feel like you are actually "in" the music. The best example of this has to be Bunkertor 7. There are one or two less-than-serious [read: plain silly] tracks floating around too, but you will have to find them yourself...

Albums: Blood Child Music type: industrial ebm Featured comment (1/2) by VexenUK on 2002-08-07 Some tracks taken from :W: original demo tapes in 1991 and 1992 and some remixes from Music for a slaughtering tribe. There are also 17 or so previously unreleased old tracks. Hang Him Higher and Praise Your Fears are 2 new tracks (2000) and are both excellent gothic industrial tracks. The original tapes are: "Defcon" and "Small Chambermusicians". Many other tracks from these tapes and early Wumpscut are collected on The Mesner Tracks CD that I don't own. Remixes from Music for a slaughtering tribe are: Koslow, Soylent Green and Default. Many tracks are ambient electronic soundscapes; haunting. But some of them seem pointless and uninspiring. Includes remix of Soylent Green (which has the vocalist removed, but the provocative samples from the film of the same name still remain).

See best track results Featured comment (1/3) by penguinboy on 2001-08-03 Often cited as :Wumpscut:'s greatest work, 'Bunker Gate 7' (AKA 'Bunkertor 7' in Europe - the US version contains additional remixes) is an exceptionally diverse yet cohesive and polished album. More musically mature than the ferocious 'Music For a Slaughtering Tribe', it reaches amazing peaks of melancholic beauty ('Thorns') and destructive rage ('Mortal Highway'), unified by a dense, all-pervasive atmosphere of doom.

See best track results Featured comment (1/1) by penguinboy on 2001-08-03 A single CD edition of the 'Dried Blood' and 'Gomorrah' EPs, this album is remarkable both for its diversity and for the exceptional quality of every track, making it very difficult to identify highlights. Artwork and lyrics remain as harsh and confrontational as on 'Music For a Slaughtering Tribe', more akin to brutal industrial and power electronics artists than to the quasi-commercial EBM scene.

Its a good solid album, i like most of teh tracks on it so i have never seen the problem. It does seem very German, most of teh lyrics are German, but i like that about it. All in all, a good CD, worth having... [ Submit a comment about this album | Buy ] Embryodead Music type: ebm industrial Best track on the album: War You have to log in before you can vote! See best track results Featured comment (3/3) by Saruman on 2003-07-17 Almost certainly :W:'s finest album. I've known tracks from this CD to turn metallers into fans. Highlight track for me is War, with Embryodead and Slave To Evil running at very close seconds. Buy it, and prepare yourself for a seriously dark and painful album.

While Rudi's Leaetherstrip influence is evident, there is none of the older artist's pop sensibility here. This is an utterly uncompromising and relentless album, laden with shrieking terror and bloodthirsty distorted aggression - arguably the most intense and violent record the EBM / electro scene has spawned to date. Undoubtedly the best place to start with :Wumpscut:!

See best track results Featured comment (1/2) by VexenUK on 2002-05-12 Wumpscut's traditional vocals and style is present in this CD, but the nastiness and horror which was always prominent in Wumpscut's other original cds takes a back-seat. In it's place, as you might expect, is dance-oriendated Techno-Industrial. And this is done very well... there are some dance-floor fillers here. There is a certain repititive (boring?) aspect to some tracks towards the end of the album. There isn't any of the odd, broken and experimental tracks that you can find on other Wumpscut productions. Which is bad, because the CD is therefore less Wumpscut as we are used to, but it is also good, because there are no unpalatable surprises. Track 11 is notable because it's a cover (and I don't recall ever realizing that a Wumpscut track has been a cover before. It is "Eclipse" a cover of a track by the same name by Kirlian Camera [ Submit a comment about this album | Buy ]
