The band Kanonenfieber was founded in 2020 as a solo project by the anonymous musician Noise. Noise spent September to October 2020 songwriting and recording the debut album “Menschenmühle”, released in February 2021.

The idea for Kanonenfieber came from a discussion with a friend about aspects of the metal scene and how historical themes are realized. Specifically, it was about the topic of the First World War. The result was a music project without glorification of the war, without a gore aspect, as historically accurate as possible and as factual as possible.
Helpfully, the friend is an amateur historian with a large collection of letters and original documents from the First World War. And it was precisely these reports and letters that served as the basis for the texts.

The release of the debut album “Menschenmühle” was a complete success, which led to several requests for gigs. As COVID still prevailed at the time, Noise had enough time to expand the one-man project into a fully functioning live band. To this end, he recruited musician friends named Kreuzer, Sickfried, Gunnar and Hans.

In this constellation, the band played energetic gigs around the world from April 2022. These include legendary shows at festivals such as Summer Breeze, Partysan, Dong O.A., Hell and Heaven (Mexico) and the Ragnarök Festival. With their theater-like stage sets, costume changes and an extravagant fire show, the formation stands out from every festival roster.

In addition to the debut album, Noise released the EPs “Yankee Division”, “Der Füsilier” and “U-Bootsmann”. With each release, he set the bar a little higher and expanded his audience with his very catchy, melodic blackened death metal.
