Contents

History

The head of the band and its only member is "Noise", a musician from Bamberg. At live concerts, he is accompanied by guest musicians and only sings, while he also plays all the instruments in the studio. The starting point for Kanonenfieber was an exchange between "Noise" and a friend, a barefoot historian  [ de ], to write an album about the First World War based on letters and original documents from the period. [1] The group was founded in 2020 [2] and from September to the end of November 2020, the nine tracks of the debut album Menschenmühle were recorded at Noisebringer Studio. Mixing and mastering took another month and a half. Noise was solely responsible for the recordings. [3] [4]

Style

Metal.de describes the style of the debut album as "black/death metal". [5] and Scheppercore calls it "Blackened Death Metal". [1] Jan Jaedike from Rock Hard describes the sound as "epic death metal", other reviewers find "medium-fast, melodic black metal" [2] or "traditional black metal, with interesting interludes". [4] More differentiated, it is pointed out that the vocals and some riffs borrow from death metal and even death-doom [6] and influence of post-rock. [5]

According to Metal.de, the atmosphere created by the band is similar to that of 1914 or Bolt Thrower. [5] In another place, Minenwerfer is mentioned as a reference. [6] Melodies and "meticulous craftsmanship" remind Rock Hard editor Jaedike of Heaven Shall Burn. [7]
