F.K.Ü., short for Freddy Krueger's Ünderwear, is a thrash metal band hailing from Sweden, known for their deep-rooted affinity for 1980s horror films and a boisterous attitude that pays homage to the era's classic thrash metal scene. The band was formed in 1987 by Larry Lethal (vocals), Pete Stooaahl (guitar), Pat Splat (bass), and Dr. Ted Killer Miller (drums), adopting stage personas that mirror the unabashed theatrics of both horror icons and metal legends. F.K.Ü.'s distinct style blends aggressive riffs and speedy drums with lyrics heavily influenced by slasher movies and pop culture, creating a unique subgenre often referred to as "horror thrash."

Over the years, F.K.Ü. has established a robust discography that mirrors a horror film franchise, with album titles like "Metal Moshing Mad" and "Sometimes They Come Back... To Mosh" exhibiting the band's playful nod to the genre that inspires them. Their more recent works such as "4: The Rise of the Mosh Mongers" and "1981" continue this tradition, the latter being a concept album entirely dedicated to horror movies released in the year 1981. F.K.Ü.'s theatrical stage presence, consistent horror-themed branding, and adrenaline-pumping music have earned them a dedicated following within the thrash metal community, as they continue to deliver terror-infused anarchy that commands the mosh pit as much as any undead creature commands the screen.
