DBoG may be the best starting point for :W: newbies. It is a combination of 2 EPs, 'Gomorrha' and 'Dried Blood', that were originally released separately. These are the songs that got people into the band in the 1st place and they still hold up well over time.

"Black Death" is one of the hardest songs you will hear in any genre, but it is highly original too. Trippy, eerie synths backed by spoken female French lyrics build too an angry frenzy of hyper-fast guitars, beats and Rudy's screamed vocals. "Body Parts" contains some of the most bombastic percussion available anywhere. "Funeral Diner" features a Chinese sample loop taken from an 'X-Files' episode that is both creepy and catchy. "Turns Off Pain" is a great song offering a twisted take on love and relationships.

There are no bad songs on this release actually. If you like industrial but haven't heard :W: then get this. If you listen to American crossover industrial garbage then it's time you start listening to some of the real stuff.

This album is a compilation of what was two seperate singles, "Dried Blood" and "Gomorraha". Together they make a wonderful compilation.. All of these are powerful and MUST HAVE :Wumpscut: songs.. If you're familiar with only bands such as NIN and other industrial bands, you NEED to give this and other :W: albums a listen.. they will _BLOW_YOU_AWAY!_

This is :wumpscut: so you know it has to be good. Although Rudy's later work, such as Eevil Young Flesh is not as good as his earlier albums.But, I can assure you that if you are an existing :wumpscut: fan, this cd will not disapoint you. Other killer :W: releases are Music For A Slaugtering Tribe, and Embryodead.

Consider me one incapable of stomaching most of the EBM/electro-industrial that gets released nowadays. This truly is a breath of fresh air when compared to the other 99% of the aforementioned genres, and 'Black Death' and 'In The Night' rank amongst the catchiest :wumpscut: songs of all time.

:W: is classical German industrial. There is probably nothing better than it, with the exception of some rival Ministry and Skinny Puppy albums. This CD, Dried Blood of Gomorrah, is by far in the top 2 or 3 Wumpscut releases, and is definitely in my top 10 industrial CD's of all time. Body Parts, the remix of Black Death, Crucified Division, and Turns Off Pain are all exemplary of the brilliance of Rudy and the Wumpscut project. If you like electro, darkwave, goth, industrial, or anything similar, this album is a must-have on your CD rack. For an even MORE amazing Wumpscut experience, I recommend purchasing Embryodead or Bunkertor 7. I have listened to virtually every Wumpscut CD and despite what the other reviews might say I think many hardened industrial listeners, whether fans of "underground" only or "popular" industrial would agree with me.

Not bad, Not bad at all. Gothic Industrial. Gentle intros and rattling endings. An experience.
