Fury in the Slaughterhouse are Germany's equivalent of U2. While FITS are not stylistically similar to U2, they're a big rock & roll band commanding a level of respect in their native country commensurate with that of U2 in Ireland. Fury in the Slaughterhouse are hitmakers as well, topping compatriots the Scorpions as Germany's most popular group and selling over 600,000 records by the early '90s. Formed in Hanover in 1987, Fury in the Slaughterhouse's self-titled debut LP was released on January 10, 1989. On February 15, 1994, Fury in the Slaughterhouse finally received exposure overseas as the group's fourth album, Mono, was distributed in the U.S. by RCA Records. ~ Michael Sutton
