In December 1986 the brothers Kai (vocals) and Thorsten Wingenfelder (guitar/vocals) founded the band Fury in the Slaughterhouse together with drummer Rainer Schumann, guitarist Christof Stein-Schneider and bassist Hannes Schäfer in Hanover.

Fury in the Slaughterhouse was supposed to be a mainstream rock band, which differed significantly from the punk-electronic influenced Neue Deutsche Welle movement sung in German, so all song lyrics were written in English.

The band now ventured live to Europe and the Anglo-American region, where they made their breakthrough in 1993 with the hits "Radio Orchid" and "Every Generation Got Its Own Disease" and the album Mono.

The band's final 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 reunited briefly and played their hit "Won't Forget These Days" in the stadium after a home game at Hannover 96.

For the first time since the dissolution in 2008, Fury recorded a new song ("30 (It's not easy)"), which was presented on 10 March 2017 on Radio ffn and played as the opener at these concerts.

The band continued their performances at large festivals in the following years, but had to cancel tour dates in spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
