Wumpscut - Wreath of Barbs

[MrJTS92]

idk y, but the vid seems to fit the song nicely, somewhat depressing of the tone repetively gradualy lowering wit the beat n a bunch of construction dudes working their asses off, lol

[GoldenGateNum9]

I don’t know.. but this is one of the most melancholic songs i have ever heard, made even more intense because i associate it with this girl that never worked out so became clinically depressed for a month.

Melancholy is sweet it's like honey on a razors edge.

greetings to all

[vanessaenergy]

mmmm soo dark

[RebelliousAndroid]

i love love love this song! but as hard as i try to hear him say "wreath of barbs" my mind can only think " Reeses Puffs" xD

Dreaming of a greener day

Grinding binding taking away

Needles above the prey

REESES PUFFS!



[MrAppleseed88]

I play this in my head during the 2nd US civil war as I kill the evil fuckign minority scum and free my people and taxation slavery. 

[Bone2050]

@MrAppleseed88

You must be a very, very lonely man.

But.... what means "free my people"? Are you one of the indian people, which where killed through the hands of the white men?

No - i think you are a racist asshole.....

[ConradTheCruel]

@Bone2050 Where refers to a place. You mean were. It refers to the past tense condition of a people in the third person.

[lastwhiteman210]

@Bone2050 If you honestly think that the land you live on is stolen then it is your moral responsibility to give your portion to whomever you think it rightfully belongs to and leave. After you've done that, then I'll tell you why you're wrong.

[MaxPFC]

@MrAppleseed88 You do that buddy, free your people. Don't listen to these negative people calling you an asshole ;)

[TheClownRaper]

this video has nothing to do with this song

[Bone2050]

@TheClownRaper : OH MY GOD! That`s so terrible! ;)

[DioxideAngel]

Fucking fantastic video! :)

[TheMartinftw]

love it



[Deadkyd]

Reeses puffs? xD

[soryon420]

I hate 31 people.

[SkyeSken]

This is Stephen Hawking singing.

[XvxBERSERKxvX]

@SkyeSken lol, they recorded him while singing in the shower.

[Mosespsychosis]

Like the editing... nicely done....

[ukgreaterlondon]

schizophrenics watch horror movies .

they want to harm people outside their minds .

i am autistic and i am the opposite to schizophrenics .

[seeriktus]

@ukgreaterlondon man thats just so false. Being schizophrenic has nothing inherently to do with violence. Schizophrenics actually have a lower rate of violent crime than the general population.

I would somewhat agree with you about autism being opposite to schizophrenia though as some consider them opposites in gene expression (autism overexpression & shizophrenia underexpression of certain genes).

[EmilyFultz92]

REESE'S PUFFS!

[LocumRex]

Good editing, great quality sound. Nicely done.

[IscariotSolia]

This is by far my favorite Wumpcut song, is there anything else that sounds similar? (By them the only thing I have found is this, is Deliverance).

[WilliamAztech]

@IscariotSolia Some bands also like Controlled Fusion, In Strict Confidence, Aghast View, some Biopsy songs. They have all worked with each other back in the 90's.

[emsavings]

I had heard the name Wumpscut again and again growing up listening to electronica/industrial, but don't think I ever actually heard them until Pandora popped this song on my station. So very, very glad to find a new band to add to the music collection xD

[Donarfeld]

Perfekt wenn man nach einer langen Nacht am Morgen danach ins Stimmungstief fällt.

Aber auch sonst wirklich gut.

[razeal18]

Very beautiful, excellent fuck song

[pixyGOTHIC]

j'adore cette musique magnifique

[sisteruli]

Ich Danke für diese s Video! Eine Intuition für die Kunst...auch meiner eigenen! Danke! Seehr gut!

[redemax]

the song and the vide ,, yea perfect match RETARD

[vampiredude001]

It makes me happy @ 0:38 the beat goes with the scene lol

[Alexandr9090]

this song is gay hurts my ears

[stupidvampiretwat]

@Alexandr9090 I feel sorry for you, emo child.

If happiness is painful for you, you will not have a good life

[seeriktus]

This video shows you how destruction is beautiful.

Its a return to mother chaos.

[seeriktus]

This is what true beauty of the heart is, not the plastic you get on MTV.

[bzboy78]

mesmerising music. very addictive ......love it

[1Warpedreality]

this song is indescribably pleasing to the ears

perfect

[EBMer1]

Mag das Stück sehr :-)

[masajhn]

That where Kanye West - Welcome took the concept

[5ofo5]

I LOVE this Psychedelic fire !!!! :)

[cryotankexpansion]

Reese's puffs! hahahahahahaha

Aside from the misheard lyrics, this song is addictive ^^

[seeriktus]

This song kind of makes me sad, but in a good way

[kaisenjohnrichey]

This song is the fucking shit

[SerratedGrinX]

As much as I absolutely love Wumpscut, and this being my absolute favorite album of his, I feel like I need to point this out...

Sounds like he's saying "Reeses Puffs." What has been heard cannot be unheard.

[qdot76367]

@SerratedGrinX Also: WREATH OF BOBS

[nicolehaskell]

@SerratedGrinX

That's exactly what my 9 year old daughter thinks! She sings "Reeses Puffs" instead of "Wreath of Barbs" . It's the funniest thing!

[partygals418]

I am not very familiar with industrial music. I was told to check this band out...I love it, and other recommends would be appreciated!!

[BigHairyManBeast]

@partygals418 industrial eh just a few from the top of my head some old skool some newer, Skinny puppy, KMFDM, MDFMK, VNV nation, covenant, suicide commando, velvet acid christ, front line assembly, system syn, imperative reaction, front 242, tactical sekt, god module, and alot more i cant think of atm. Welcome to real music

[gyloir]

@BigHairyManBeast Great list, I'd throw in Assemblage 23 as well as "And One" also.

[TheSleepChamber]

@partygals418 Seabound. Seabound and VNV Nation, if you like the sound of :W: (wumpscut is a little darker, and grittier than the above 2...)

[Kieraganion]

@partygals418

If you're looking for something very similar to :WUMPSCUT:'s sound then I suggest you try Velvet Acid Christ and Leather Strip, ESPECIALLY!!!!

----> Leather Strip<---

(Wumpscut's biggest influence)

Haujobb is another good one. Skinny Puppy hits more on the "abstract" but they're also really good. Go look up " Assimilate", or "Warlock" (:

(And for f**ks sake people this isn't Goth. :P)

[BloodOnlySpills]

@Kieraganion I'm a Process fan when it comes to Skinny Puppy. You just can't touch Morter or Cult. Still, thank god someone else made the connection here.

[XxXDeathIsArtXxX]

@Kieraganion Laetherstrip

[xenomina]

@Kieraganion Yeup. It's Synthpop, Goth's electronic cousin of sorts.

[MrCrackathin]

@xenomina I have always liked the term 'Darkwave' I picked it up in the early 90s

[cybergothpunkfreak]

@Kieraganion lol not goth, yet wumpscutt has a song called homo GOTHicos industrialis

[RohmundStein]

To whoever made this video: I love it its perfect. Creepy, strange, haunting fits the song so perfectly. A polished music video producer could not have found a better way to enhance the original piece. Awesome.

[TheLynxie]

Benny Benassi in the related. What.

[Wumpscutbunkertor7]

the feelings of this song is awesome!

[GEO13033]

if someone could please tell me what album the song anesthetics is from i would really appreciate it

[DementioCorvus]

The Movie "Jeepers Creepers" really don´t fits for this song.

[ukgreaterlondon]

year 1900s German philosophy of anti religions.

[ukgreaterlondon]

GERMAN WARS ONE AND TWO

[DementioCorvus]

I don´t now what to say...

This is a great song !!!

[TrixieValcyn]

22 people need to die.

[IRockWithPandahs]

LOLfor a sec i thought it said Reese's puffs too xD

[kiLLER8196]

REESE'S OF PUFFS I THOUGHT HE SIADE WREATH OF BARBS

[Ymdar]

Reese's Puffs!

[Violnplayr23]

@Ymdar  bahahaha i saw that the other day

[bigwhiteyeti]

Absolute beauty.

One thing I wonder is why Rudy wrote two songs with very similar titles - "Wreath of Barbs" and "Crown of Thorns." I would understand if one was a reworking of the other, but they are completely unrelated as far as I can tell.

[cloudsquirrel]

@bigwhiteyeti A wreath and a crown are two different things, as are barbs and thorns.

[XXAnacortesXX]

Thats a really sad song. Intense and touching...

[glowstickspray1]

this actually isnt that bad

[tamagoxx]

C.mon.. like I knowZZZzzzzz

[TheDarkmunk]

I've spend the last 8 hours listening to very different a weird music, this has hit the spot. There is so much good music in this world, and all these chart music listening people who are blind and deaf to a world of brilliance really could do with an education in art, and this song is a good place for them to start. Epic.

[sysvrev0]

@TheDarkmunk - here here! welcome to your Brave New World. Enjoy. Buckle up!

[Zeruel3]

Was the monster at the start the one from Jeepers Creepers 2?

[pvpbeast]

If this was a drug, i'd be addicted ;)

[niun10]

1000th like:) well deserved

[cosmoyue]

I like it!!! <3

[CY0PS]

Needles above the brain??

[Booknet861]

@CY0PS Needles above the prey

[TheLynxie]

@CY0PS Needles above the brain!?!? That's Prey. PREY.

[1958boomergirl]

Two thumbs UP for THIS song!!!

[EBMer1]

Ja,perfect!!!!! :-)

[luichybravo]

WWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOO­!!!!!!!!! PERFECT

[osup31]

But unto both you, you will always have your agency. This is the only thing God or Satan can never take from you. They can both heavily weigh in your decisions but ultimately you have to decide. This is why you will be held accountable for your decisions in this life, whether they are good or evil. So, accordingly, be it unto you according to your desires, whether it be eternal damnation or eternal life. If you can only hope to believe, pray to the Father in the name of Christ and know.

[woolfinator]

@osup31 I do respect your faith in a higher good. But please do you respect others' disbeliefs. An intelligent human being (sapiens sapiens) could never accept its powerlessness and so began to create higher goods which he might be abled to affect by praying or performing rituals. In fact the need of belief is a twist of higher intelligence. Compare the behavior of anankastic personalities and believers. It is just a synaptic spleen of naive individuals. I know because I have been like you once.

[woolfinator]

@osup31 And to complete my state: I learned, that accepting powerlessness, not as a flaw but as a natural part of life and thereby the needlessness of any belief frees the mind and the art of living itself. This does not mean, that I prefer anarchy wich is feared by faithful to be the result out of such 'disorder'. I do respect the means of lifelihoods, the mindset and beliefs of my fellow men (wich has been stated by the ten commandments) without any refer to any religion. And I'm good with it.

[osup31]

Every knee shall bend, every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. Do not be one of them at that last day that shall be filled with awful guilt, knowing that you have sinned and must be cast off because of the justice of God. Instead, be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ that he may have mercy on you and your robe washed white in his blood.

[osup31]

I invite every person that is sincere of heart or meek, one that recognizes truth to kneel and pray in the name of Christ for the Lord to direct them to the truth that they may find it. Never before will you have known such great comfort and knowledge. He is the light, the way and the truth. Seek the prophets of old and know of their works!

[666Desolate999]

@osup31

God is dead, where have you been

[osup31]

@666Desolate999 If you believe God is dead, then you have never sought him. God is the same today, yesterday and forever. If he was not, he would cease to be God. If there are no miracles performed among men, it is because there is not sufficient faith among them. Now if you can do no more than hope to believe, you will be given a feeling, a feeling which is goodness, and from this feeling you can understand that God is good. And if you seek more, more shall be given to you.

[osup31]

"Open eyes reading nothing and the blue sky grinning black" signifies the death of Christ and the joy of satan in his passing. "I bleed and bleed in this wreath of barbs and i run and run but i don't get far don't get far, don't get far" This relates to the singers reliance of Christ in dealing with sin (as all of us). He bleeds much on his own but he never gets far because Christ is always there for him. He continues on protesting the wreath of barbs. Or the one true way. He loves Christ.

[Sumthinwitty]

@osup31 hmmmm. I somehow doubt that the dude who wrote Christfuck loves Christ like you say :/

Seems like you're grasping at straws with the lyrics to begin with as well. "Injection of religion is the incorrect churches" .....or it could just be all religion eh?

[osup31]

@Sumthinwitty Musicians rely heavily on experiences and emotions felt to create their lyrics. People go up and down. People change. Just because he says one thing in one song doesn't mean he can't say something else in another. It just means it was a different time. Perhaps a time he's tried to remember but lost faith. And I would plead with you to take hope on the name of Christ to hope that there is goodness, and let the light no longer be drawn from you by the hand of the adversary.

[osup31]

@Sumthinwitty I perceive that your disbelief in the savior and his kingdom is characterized from your suffering as to things of this earth. And if it be so that you have tasted of bitterness, you must know that there is goodness, for without bitterness there can be no joy. You see my friend, they define eachother, for if there were not bitterness, there would be no joy, and there would be constancy which is nothingness. But behold we are. And we are that we might have joy. That joy is God.

[osup31]

the "injection of religion" is the incorrect churches (which are many) which scrutinize and flaw the correct teachings of Christ. They are "asleep" otherwise known as full of sin. The bodies which are decaying and dreaming of a better day are those that have died and are waiting for the resurrection of the first to happen through the second coming of Jesus Christ.

[osup31]

"grinding binding taking" away are the methods of the devil, subtley leading you to hell, binding you down through addiction and other methods, numbing your mind to the truth. wreath of barbs is the symbolization of christ and his only true power to relieve of us of our pain of sin and bring us back to the fold of God.

[osup31]

this song is all about his love for christ and testifying of the truth.

Holy burning hand of wrath = god, piercing forever through the heart (god cuts with the sword of truth) , flaming orbit of shame is this life and its difficulties, splitting the path is the wicked and the righteous or correct, seekers of truth.

[sairaus]

Cut out all the lame Jeepers Creepers bs and this could actually be a pretty cool vid for this song.

[derWalter]

this video is : werner herzog - Lessons of Darkness

its about the buring oil fields of kuweit after irak war I in 1991

like all of us, back then he hoped that ppl would lern from the pictures itself but... we all know bush son became president and.... yeah, its all about the oil

[VOLHans]

@derWalter - Just want to remind you that it was Saddam Hussein who lit the wells on fire, not Bush.

[REALNassshole]

On my first trip of shrooms, the colours were changing just like in this video.

[ohouapss]

Song is one of my favourites, but I often visit here to see the video. It's amazing, especially those fire sequences! Gratz!

[Rammagith]

Ratzinger is one of the most insidiously creative and genius musical artist of the last two decades. Rarely does anyone capture emotion or thought and put it into sound the way he does.

[dothefunkymonkee]

its so awesome how i dont have to get shitfaced to tolerate this song!! Its really great!!

[EBMer1]

Genial...

[draugtroll]

I wish their other songs had as nice atmosphere as this one does

[Hemolymph]

@draugtroll I find the whole album, wreath of barbs, has a similar atmosphere. My favorite album.

[draugtroll]

@Hemolymph Thanks, i'll check it out

[JuggaloFloob]

wow... and even younger Justin Long. Seems like all the stars either start out in horror movies or porn. Carnal Cinema FTW!

[rgm79bluedestiny]

Nice song!  Also aren't the oil fire clips from the Johno Wayne movie from hell?

[rgm79bluedestiny]

Nice song

[BoxingPride]

Great fucking song and I'm not much for this kind of music.Just shows how good it is

[blasphemouscynic]

@XVWsis2008

[MALACHI667]

Davros created the Daleks without emotion.... but i swear they wrote this song just as they were losing all feeling.

[daitheflubg]
