Kanonenfieber Releases “Der Maulwurf (Live in Oberhausen 2024)”

“The pioneers of mine warfare worked 12-hour shifts, 7 days a week. The so-called ‘moles’ had to deal with limited oxygen supply, water ingress and burial. The low tunnels caused back problems, open knees and hands and trench foot disease. Miners who worked for long often suffered from mental illnesses and panic attacks”, says Noise from Kanonenfieber.

Live in Oberhausen, the second live album from Kanonenfieber, was recorded during the band’s biggest headlining show to date in Oberhausen, Germany. 1,800 fans filled the sold-out Turbinenhalle II and took part in a special night during the tour supporting their latest release, Die Urkatastrophe (2024). A total of 16 out of the 20 European shows were sold-out months prior to the start of the tour. This set another milestone for the band, who played their first live show just 2.5 years earlier.

The setlist included popular songs from their debut album Menschenmühle and their subsequent EPs, as well as eight tracks from Die Urkatastrophe. Upon its release, the album entered the following charts: Germany #3, Germany vinyl charts #5, Austria #13, Finland physical charts #8.

Kanonenfieber released their first album, Menschenmühle, in 2021. Since then, the band played several highly successful tours. Their elaborate and dramatic live shows stunned crowds at renowned festivals such as Hellfest, Summer Breeze, Rockharz, Full Force or Party.San, leaving them shaken and speechless.

Kanonenfieber is the brainchild of Noise, who writes and records all of their music. For live shows, he is accompanied by friends who allow him to focus on the band’s crushing vocals and signature bombastic stage performance.

As with Menschenmühle, their second album Die Urkatastrophe is based on factual reports, letters and original documents from the surviving and deceased soldiers from the First World War Its intent is not to glorify, because there is no glory in war. Everyone loses – their lives, their souls, their humanity. War is often depicted in an abstract way, through numbers and statistics. Kanonenfieber aim to tell the stories of the nameless and the faceless in order to allow for a small glimpse of their personal horrors, and thereby the larger scale horror for mankind as a whole. Kanonenfieber‘s black and death metal isn’t meant to solely entertain, but also educate and raise awareness against the glorification of war.
