Once again :wumpscut: takes us on a musical journey of which we can never
get enough. This time around, Rudy has chosen to release a tight collection
of tracks that all revolve around a common theme under the name "Embryodead".
As far as concept albums go, the focus of the album tends to wander a little
bit, but the message is very clearly focused on all events that could quite
possibly occur during the conception, birth, and maturation of a child into an
adult. Of course, this wouldn't be Industrial music without bringing out all of
the negative events of childhood, so that is what Rudy attemptS TO do throughout
the entire album. He skillfully attacks such controversial aspects as slavery,
abortion, and religion without trying to preach the correct solution to any of
the social issues mentioned.
Musically, "Embryodead" is the densest :wumpscut: release to date. Each of the
core compositonal elements from the basslines and strings, to the percussion
and vocals are tightly woven together into a compact arrangement that
eventually becomes a :wumpscut: track. Rudy also surprises us with the
use of more string patches than ever before right alongside the rest of his
standard instrumentation. As a result "Embryodead" has a much more polished and
smooth feel to it. However, you can rest assured that the music is not so
radically different as to disinterest longtime :wumpscut: fans, but rather
simply a new stage in the evolution of this amazing German solo project.
:wumpscut: is: Rudy Ratzinger
