LP Edition

KANONENFIEBER, speaking about the story of their new album, “Die Urkatastrophe”: “World War I accelerated the path to modernity and is considered the “Die Urkatastrophe” (= “the primal catastrophe”) of the 20th century, which was characterized by wars, violence, and displacement. Around 17 million people, soldiers and civilians, lost their lives, large parts of Europe were destroyed, and unresolved problems were left behind, leading to new violent conflicts. This album is dedicated to the victims of World War I, so that they do not fall into oblivion. May their fates be a warning to all subsequent generations, even after more than 100 years,” says Noise, who records all instruments in the studio and is also responsible for KANONENFIEBER's concept.
Like its predecessor, KANONENFIEBER’s second album “Die Urkatastrophe” is based on objective reports, letters, and original documents from surviving and deceased soldiers of World War I. Their intention is not to glorify, because there is no glory in war. Everyone loses: their lives, their souls, their humanity. War is often represented abstractly, through numbers and statistics.
The following formats are available: CD, CD BoxSet, Vinyl, translucent orange vinyl, and Deluxe Double Vinyl.
