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."

Milk and Honey
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You miss your wakeup call
A drunken guy crashed in your car
Can't pay for your drinks at the bar
Your boss said, it was nice to work with you
You think he's just a jerk
The new shoes you bought
The sheets are warm, the fridge is filled
What's up buddy? Everything so funny
Living in the land, the land of milk and honey
The land of milk and honey
And now, your girlfriend sold your favorite CD
They've towed your car away
While watching girls, you fell from a tree and that was hard
But now the best you haven't seen one girl undressed
Mummy said, they'll take you out of college
The lyrics to Fury In The Slaughterhouse's song Milk and Honey depict a series of unfortunate events happening to the singer. The song speaks about how life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes, even if we try our best, things still don't go our way. The singer seems to be someone who is always facing difficulties, be it at work or in his personal life. He has missed his wakeup call, had a drunken guy crash into his car, can't afford to pay for his drinks at the bar, and even lost his job due to his height, something he couldn't control. Despite all these hardships, the singer is still optimistic about life, as he speaks about the land of milk and honey, which refers to a place where everything is abundant and perfect. He seems to be holding onto this hope and positivity, even when things around him are falling apart.
The song also speaks about the importance of having a good support system, as seen in the lines "The sheets are warm, the fridge is filled, what's up buddy? Everything so funny," which suggests the singer has someone close to him who is making things better. The song is quite relatable, as most people go through a series of difficulties, but it is how we handle them that matters. The song suggests that we should hold onto hope and stay optimistic, even when things around us are falling apart.
