Fury in the Slaughterhouse is a rock band from Hanover , which existed from 1986 to 2008 and again since 2017, and which has also enjoyed international success.
Band history
In December 1986 the brothers Kai and Thorsten Wingenfelder founded the band Fury in the Slaughterhouse together with Rainer Schumann , Christof Stein-Schneider and Hannes Schäfer in Hanover . The band name means riot in the slaughterhouse , but according to another source it refers to the US children's series from the 1950s about a horse named Fury , which was shown on German television in the mid-1980s. After protests, some band members later denied this connection in interviews, while more and more fans reduced the band name to Fury . Fury in the Slaughterhouse was supposed to be a pure rock band , which differed significantly from the Neue Deutsche Welle , which was ending at the time , so all lyrics were written in English. In 1988 the band played sold-out concerts and their first albums made it into the top 50 of the album charts.
In 1992 their record company SPV and BMG Ariola founded the music label Slaughterhouse Music. The band now ventured live in Europe and Anglo-American countries, where they made their breakthrough in 1993 with the hits Radio Orchid and Every Generation Got Its Own Disease and the album Mono . Since then, the band has released a new album at regular intervals about every two years, but has never been able to build on the success of Mono .
In 1996 the bassist Hannes Schäfer was replaced by Christian Decker. In 2005 the band founded the record label Kick It Out. Here all albums have been re-published in a revised version with partially previously unreleased additional tracks. In 2006 the band signed the city of Hanover's Golden Book .
A farewell tour through Germany took place from March until the announced dissolution at the end of August 2008. All concerts were recorded and could be purchased on USB sticks immediately after the concert . The performance in Hanover was also published as a double DVD (director: Marc Schütrumpf ) and on CD under the name Farewell & Goodbye .
In 2011 the band got together again and played their hit Won't forget these days in the stadium after a home game at Hannover 96 .
Fury in the Slaughterhouse sold over four million albums and played at more than 1000 concerts and festivals worldwide.
On June 8, 2013 the band (with guests) performed a concert in Hanover ( Expo-Plaza / Messe) under the motto One City - One Band ; 25,000 visitors saw the concert.
On March 10, 11 and 12, 2017, the band celebrated their 30th anniversary with three reunion concerts in the TUI-Arena in Hanover. For the first time since the dissolution in 2008, Fury recorded a new song ("30 (It's not easy)"), which was presented on March 10, 2017 on radio ffn and played as the opener at these concerts. Due to the successful advance sales of these three concerts, the band decided to play more concerts in Germany. According to the band's website, however, this was not the beginning of a reunion, just a show of respect to the fans. The band continued their performances in the following years, but had to cancel their tour dates in spring 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic . In Hanover, however, they played two concerts on the Schützenplatz on May 14 and 15, 2020 in front of around 2000 spectators sitting in their cars as part of the so-called car culture series.
