Two months after the preview EP, it’s time for the long awaited new Wumpscut album. Only half a year after the wonderful Wreath Of Barbs, Rudy decided to divide this double-CD set and fill it with hard to find material, as well as a few remixes, demos etc. Category 1 (new tracks & remixes) is built around 6 songs and features Wumpscut`s first cover "All Cried Out", as well as a new song "Overkill". Also featured are remixes of Das Ich, Der Blutharsch and Cleen. The last song is "Marta Arnau Marti". Last part of disc 1, "Music For A German Tribe" is the compilation that until previously could be found on the limited "Bunkertor 7"-box. This means there are 6 previously released songs (including the club hit "Krieg" (War) and "Soylent Grün" (Soylent Green), now sung completely in German, which will no doubt be interesting for the listener. | |
The second disc is more interesting, because of the "collector"-feeling. The first part is the Preferential Tribe demo recording. It shows Wumpscut in a typical demo mood. Violent, raw and mostly based on samples instead of Rudy`s shouting. Interesting, but maybe a bit unnecessary, knowing the compilation "Blutkind" also contained loads of demos, so you should already be familiar with the old style Wumpscut. My personal favorite section is "Artefact Pearls", 7 songs that show Wumpscut in that same demo mood, but you can also hear the progression made by the band. Songs like "God", "C.B.T" and follow-up "Against Decay" demonstrate the high quality of this band.
Be aware that this is the only sign of life from the band until 2004, when there will be a new album. Until then, this release should make the wait a lot easier.
