Summary

Music for a Slaughtering Tribe, like most Wumpscut releases, has a complex history and bears the blood-curdling scream of Aleta Welling on the track "Fear In Motion." Music for a Slaughtering Tribe has been re-released at least eight times – with many subsequent editions on different record labels, with different artwork, and sometimes different track lists. The latest release is on Beton Kopf Media and Metropolis Records.

All Soylent Green samples are taken from the movie 2022 – Die Überleben Wollen, the German-dubbed version of Soylent Green (Richard Fleischer, 1973), with Charlton Heston. Koslow sample is taken from the movie The Silence of the Lambs (1991), with Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster.
