In 2007, the band announced the release of a career-spanning retrospective called "Don't look back", to be accompanied by a tour. Following the completion of that tour in late August 2008, the group entered an indefinite hiatus.
The brothers Wingenfelder reformed as Wingenfelder & Wingenfelder and have released three albums and a b-sides album, with plans record a fourth in 2017. Rainer Schumann released a solo album under the name Schumann. Christof Stein formed Wohnraumhelden and has released three albums under that name.
In 2016, the band reformed for their 30th anniversary, and released a new track. Additional new tracks were included in the band's new retrospective "30 - The Ultimate Best Of Collection."

Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crazy Christian nightmare men
Don't come here in the house of pain
Or we will cause you misery and shame
When I get you in these arms the party's over..."
6:30 in the morning
Wake up it's time to go
Names in a file
Last act of the show
Can you hear them coming
Keys ring cross the floor
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Cause you know what they came for
And here we go
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Two cops you've sent to heaven
And now it's time to follow
You don't mind they should have known
A bullet's hard to swallow
One last wish is granted
Kind of last romance
Lock your cell take off your shoes
And then you start to dance
And here we go
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Yeah
Someone's gonna miss you
Throw flowers on your grave
Dance your soul out of your body
Smile brother be brave
Five steps to the gallows
And a direct slide to hell
Enjoy your last steps in the light
Before you leave the cell
Here we go
Yeah
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Hmm hmm hmm
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Here we go
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
The lyrics of Fury in the Slaughterhouse's song "Dancing in the sunshine of the Dark" have significant meaning that reflects a rebellious and nihilistic attitude towards authority figures, particularly religious leaders and law enforcement. The opening line is a direct call to action, urging the listener to "let's get the message across," speaking to an audience that may be frustrated with the traditional structures that govern our lives. The reference to "Crazy Christian nightmare men" suggests that the band is targeting religious fanatics who they feel may be imposing their beliefs on others. They deliver a clear warning to these individuals not to enter "the house of pain," or else they will encounter trouble.
The next lines describe a scene where someone is getting ready to face the consequences of their actions, knowing that they are going to be punished for something they did. There is a sense of resignation that the person is accepting their fate: "Don't worry 'bout tomorrow/ Cause you know what they came for." However, there is also a tone of defiance as they are depicted as continuing to dance even in the face of danger, and they mock the authority figures who are about to punish them: "Two cops you've sent to heaven/ And now it's time to follow/ You don't mind they should have known/ A bullet's hard to swallow." The song finishes with a message of hope, with encouragement to live life to the fullest before it is too late.
Overall, "Dancing in the sunshine of the Dark" is a powerful anti-authority song that encourages rebellion against those who seek to control our lives. The song's energy and defiance are infectious, making it a classic example of rock music that transcends just entertaining to be a political statement.

Let's get the message across
We need to communicate our ideas clearly.
Crazy Christian nightmare men
Religious extremists are causing chaos.
Don't come here in the house of pain
Stay away from our dangerous and troublesome environment.
Or we will cause you misery and shame
If you intrude, we will make you suffer the consequences.
When I get you in these arms the party's over...
Physical confrontation will lead to the end of the fun.
6:30 in the morning
Early morning, time to start the day.
Wake up it's time to go
Get up and start moving, there's work to be done.
A priest, a smile
A religious figure with a cheerful expression.
Names in a file
Individuals recorded for investigation or prosecution.
Last act of the show
Final moments before the end.
Can you hear them coming
The approach of those who will judge and punish you.
Keys ring cross the floor
The sound of someone unlocking a door to lead you to your fate.
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
There's no point in fretting about the future, it's all but sealed.
Cause you know what they came for
You know why they're there to take you away.
And here we go
The beginning of the end.
Two cops you've sent to heaven
You've killed law enforcement officers.
And now it's time to follow
It's your turn to face the consequences.
You don't mind they should have known
You don't feel bad for killing them because they knew the risks of their job.
A bullet's hard to swallow
The reality of dying is difficult to face.
One last wish is granted
A final request is fulfilled before the end.
Kind of last romance
A small moment of tenderness before the harshness of death.
Lock your cell take off your shoes
Preparing yourself for the inevitable.
And then you start to dance
A final act of defiance - you show strength in the face of despair.
Yeah
A moment of agreement or acknowledgement.
Someone's gonna miss you
There will be people who mourn your loss.
Throw flowers on your grave
A gesture of remembrance or sentimentality.
Dance your soul out of your body
Through dance, express your emotions, release your soul from your body.
Smile brother be brave
Be strong, put on a brave face even in difficult moments.
Five steps to the gallows
A short distance to the place of execution.
And a direct slide to hell
A descent into eternal torment and suffering.
Enjoy your last steps in the light
Find pleasure in your final moments before descending into darkness.
Before you leave the cell
Your time in this world is limited.
Hmm hmm hmm
Verbalization of an indistinct sound or melody.
Dancing in the sunshine of the dark
Despite the despair, find joy and lightness in your final moments.
Here we go
The final countdown, the end is near.
