Fury In The Slaughterhouse

Fury in the Slaughterhouse is Germany's equivalent of U2. While FITS is not stylistically similar to U2, they're a big rock & roll band that commands the same respect in their native country as U2 does in Ireland. Known for their English lyrics and alternative rock sound, they rose to fame with hits like "Time to Wonder" and "Every Generation Got Its Own Disease," topping compatriots the Scorpions as Germany's most popular group and selling over 600,000 records by the early '90s. After disbanding in 2008, they reunited in 2017 and released Now in 2021, their first new album in 13 years. Two years later, Hope debuted on the German charts as the band's first number one album. Fury in the Slaughterhouse formed in a small backyard in Hanover, Germany, in 1987 by brothers Kai Uwe Wingenfelder (vocals) and Thorsten Wingenfelder (guitar, vocals). The siblings then added Rainer Schumann (drums), Christof Stein (guitar), and Hannes Schafer (bass). The group's self-titled debut LP was released in 1989; keyboardist Gero Drnek also joined the band that year. Fury in the Slaughterhouse immediately became veterans of the club circuit, gaining new converts that would eventually propel the group to superstar status. The band opened for acclaimed international talent like the Pogues and the Jesus & Mary Chain, creating foreign interest in their music. On February 15, 1994, Fury in the Slaughterhouse finally received exposure overseas as the group's fourth album, Mono, was distributed in the U.S. by RCA Records. "Every Generation Got Its Own Disease," a solemn statement about AIDS, was played on modern rock stations and MTV in America. Thanks to Thorsten's ethereal, meditative riffs, Kai's gruff vocals, and vivid imagery, such a relatively mellow song was able to break the stranglehold of grunge on alternative radio. After their U.S. breakthrough, Fury in the Slaughterhouse beefed up their international presence, opening for Meat Loaf and touring extensively across Europe and North America. They continued to garner favor both at home and abroad with their 1995 album The Hearing and the Sense of Balance. Founding bassist Hannes Schäfer left the fold in 1996, replaced by Christian Decker. Over the next decade, FITS released a string of acclaimed albums, including Brilliant Thieves (1997), Nowhere... Fast! (1998), Home Inside (2000), The Color Fury (2002), and Nimby (2004). Their final studio efforts before disbanding in 2008 -- Acoustic Grand Cru Classé and Every Heart Is a Revolutionary Cell -- were followed by a farewell tour and a concert film from Cologne. The band reunited for a one-off show in 2013, then returned in full force in 2017 with a nationwide tour. In 2021, they released Now, followed by Hope in 2023, their first number one album in Germany.
