Yes, I know
that some will find it weird to read an interview with Wumpscut, the famous
German electro and, in a metal magazine like this one…But you have to be
open-minded, don’t you? And as the new album ‘Boeses Junges Fleisch’ is simply
excellent, I wanted to know more about it and its creator, Rudy R. , whom I
contacted in his bunker…
You just
released your new album 'Boeses Junges Fleisch', the 'Fleischbox', and a single
CD for 'Ich Will Dich'. Can you please tell us more about it?
This time, I was into the mass murder stuff . . . ‘Ich Will Dich’ is the second
MCD out of ‘Boeses Junges Fleisch’, the first MCD is called ‘Totamacher’ and it
contains original tracks by :W: and remixes by well-known and unknown bands and
projects.
The front
cover of 'Boeses Junges Fleisch' is still morbid as usual, but without showing
any dead body. Why? Is that to mark a sort of evolution for :W:?
You only know the French version of ‘Boeses Junges Fleisch’. In Germany, the
cover is different, it shows a female deadmaker according to the MCD
‘Deadmaker/Totmacher’. Well, the corpse was used because of its simplicity
related to the ‘Eevil Young Flesh’ theme. The next release, ‘Blutkind’, will be
completely different - Surprise, surprise . . .
With your
lyrics and the photo gallery inside the booklet, we can see that you're
interested in serial killers. What does interest you in them?
To slip into their psyche. Are they aware of the fact that they do harm? Do
they feel the same as a "normal" human being? Do they know about their defects?
And with your picture of you with the mention 'God
Failed', what do you mean? That you represent an evil side of life?
God failed, be sure. Otherwise, he would not have created mass murderers, :W:
or Rudy R.
Are you a very gloomy guy in life? Or just a normal
guy for which :W: is a sort of way to express your hate?
:W: is kind of balance. I am everything else than gloomy . . .
All in all, you are not very famous in the world of
music, but you are very respected by a minority of people. How do you feel
about that?
It is ok like that. Just imagine a world in which you would be on top of the
world charts with an album like ‘Eevil Young Flesh’ . . .
And do you consider :W: as an underground band or not?
I don't care about that . . .
What are your projects for the future? New album,
shows...?
The next album will be ‘Blutkind’, a special release for all collectors with
dozens of unreleased songs, partly from the first tapes, as well as two new :W:
killers.
Where do you
get inspiration in order to create music?
Out of my subconscious.
What bands do
you listen to?
Haujobb, Bluemchen and
Death In June’s ‘Take Care And Control’
By using German vocals, weird samplers and an image
related with the second world war (like 'Bunkertor 7'), don't you fear you
could be considered as a Nazi and censored? Have you had any censorship
problems by the way?
No, not at all. ‘Bunkertor 7’ shows images out of a short movie which is not
"time-related" in its pure form. The pictures always should fit to
the music.
You also use English vocals...Do you think you will
use French on some occasion? Or another language?
Yes, if the time is right or if I have the occasion for it.
Transit is mostly a metal magazine...What do you think
of metal in general?
I was a Judas Priest and Iron Maiden fan in my teenager days - They did a great
job! Meanwhile, I cannot follow all new metal releases – No time, no time . . .
Unfortunately.
Thanks a lot for answering! What would be your last
word?
Don't try to hide - I'll get you alive - And taste your Eevil Young Flesh . . .
