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."

Rainy April Day
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has lost its father today
The fallen angel stays in bed
With a bullet in his head
Success makes you horny
And pills calm you down
No more excuses silent cries the clown
To guide you on your way
Hope that you'll find
What you've been looking for
On a rainy april, rainy april day
The public wants answers
They don't want to hear
And every kiss of yours is public property
You gave it all
But no one wants to own your fear
And fear is all you've left for your baby
In the opening lines of "Rainy April Day" by Fury In The Slaughterhouse, the song talks about a millionaire who has lost their father to suicide. The second line, "The fallen angel stays in bed with a bullet in his head," paints a vivid picture of the aftermath of this tragedy. The song goes on to explore the concept of success, how it can make someone feel powerful and important, but also how easily it can lead to addiction, loneliness, and despair. The third line, "Success makes you horny," suggests that sometimes when people achieve great things, they lose sight of what's truly important and indulge in things that don't bring them true happiness or satisfaction.
The lyrics of "Rainy April Day" also touch on the idea of public scrutiny and the sense of loneliness that can come with being in the public eye. The line "And every kiss of yours is public property" implies that when someone is famous, they don't get to have private moments or intimate experiences without it being publicized and scrutinized by others. The song ends with the message that the only thing left for the millionaire's baby is fear, which speaks to the idea that when someone loses their sense of self and becomes consumed by their success or addiction, those around them also suffer from the fallout.
