Fury in the Slaughterhouse
Band History
In December 1986, the brothers Kai and Thorsten Wingenfelder the band Fury in the Slaughterhouse founded together with Rainer Schumann, Christof stone - cutter and Hannes Schäfer in Hanover (German: Fury in the Slaughterhouse ). The band's name is a nod to the world's well-known U.S. television series from the 1950s about a horse named Fury. Fury in the Slaughterhouse should be a pure rock band that clearly differed from the German New Wave, therefore, all lyrics were written in English. This concept worked because in 1988 they played in sold-out concerts, and her first albums made it into the Top 50 on the album charts.
In 1992, their record company SPV and the BMG Ariola Hamburg by means of a joint venture record label Slaughterhouse Music. The band ventured now live in the European and Anglo-American world, where she worked with the Hits Radio Orchid and Every Generation Got Its Own Disease and the album Mono managed their international breakthrough in 1993. Since then the band a new album spawned at regular intervals approximately every two years on the market, but could never build on the success of mono.
In 1996, bassist Hannes Schäfer was replaced by Christian Decker. In 2005, the band founded the record label Kick It Out. Here all of their albums have been re- published in a revised version with some previously unreleased extra tracks. In 2006, the band signed the Golden Book of the city of Hanover.
From March until the end of August 2008 a resolution announced farewell tour took place across by Germany. All concerts were recorded and could be acquired immediately following the concert on USB sticks. The presence in Hanover was also a double - DVD (directed by Marc Schütrumpf ) and published on CD under the name Farewell & Goodbye.
2011 the band came together again and played after the last home game of their hit Hannover 96 Will not forget these days in the stadium.
The band has sold over four million albums worldwide and played more than 1,000 concerts and festivals.
On 8 June 2013, the band appeared ( with guests) under the slogan One city - a band - a concert in Hannover ( Expo-Plaza/Messe ) on; 25,000 visitors saw the concert.
