KANONENFIEBER about “Soldatenschicksale”: ”At school, we are taught that war is something bad. From the Defenestration of Prague to the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo – war always means violence. We hear of political tensions, daring military campaigns, and grueling battles of attrition. All of it supported by numbers so massive and abstract, they seem almost unreal: 17 million dead in the First World War alone.
When the gunpowder smoke clears from the battlefield, only the dead remain – who are no longer really considered people. But who was the man lying shot in a shell crater? Who was the barely 17-year-old boy who suffocated in a dugout after a mine hit, screaming for his mother? Who was the sergeant, the cadet, the sapper – the ordinary soldier who, in a matter of seconds, lost both his life and his identity? A single fate, so small in the shadow of the ’greater whole‘ that it barely seems worth remembering.
This is exactly where ’Soldatenschicksale‘ begins.
From the American landings on the Western Front to the merciless winter war in the East, to the battles above and below the surface of the North Sea – it‘s about people. About voices. About stories that are in danger of being forgotten. ’Soldatenschicksale‘ brings together revised versions of ’Yankee Division‘ (2022), ’Der Füsilier‘ (2023), and ’U-Bootsmann‘ (2023), as well as two brand new tracks that work as ’Skagerrak‘.
Skagerrak. The largest naval battle of the First World War.”
In March KANONENFIEBER will embark on the Soldatenschicksale 2026 tour with support from Mental Cruelty. On 27 March, the Kanonenfest (also feat. Vader, Kataklysm, Mental Cruelty, Antrisch, Hackneyed) will take place at the Brose Arena Bamberg, featuring a First World War travelling museum and an exhibition by Daniel Bechthold (@bechthold.illustrator). Hardtickets are already sold out.
