Without watching your video I can tell you -> This is art.. They simply tell you about a topic; you need to decide if you like it or not.. Non est deus is telling you about religion, but they do not hate or fight religion.. Kanonenfieber tells you about war, but they do not like war.. Like a mirror they show things from our shared history..(Tannenberg for example) Who is "right/good" during a war? Who has the correct religion and the right to spread it? War is cruel, but it can protect families.. Religion is "nice" but people die for it, too... The members (Hans, Kreuzer, Sick-Fried, Gunnar and Noise) are thinking about this and put it into music.. Good music.. "Leipa" is the 3rd. Project by the way.. Greetings from Germany..

[@HashimAlmadani84]

Thanks for this review Almar, I noticed that all Noise projects match this point of being easy to listen to and remember and hard to put together in a perfect song structure. It's like Noise creates music from a fan's perspective attending the concert.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes well at least he seems to know the way to our souls! Thanks for watching

[@Nachtmahr79]

Went to a Kanonenfieber Concert yesterday, do absolutely agree. I am only capable of whispering today...

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes I need to brush off my German for the next gig

[@BruceCochrane-g8e]

Hello Almar. Thanks for posting footage and your take on show; and for you and your Aussie introducing me to Kanonenfieber a couple months ago! Yes, Solstafir, Ghost of Glaciers (instrumental blackened postmetal), and now Kanonenfieber I would say have all been gateway bands for me. One thing leads to another! Listen to many genres but haven't really listened to much black metal until discovering these bands. Listening to Solstafir led me to Ghost Brigade. Listening to Kanonenfieber led me to Minenwerfer. Recently discovered Wayfarer (American Western black metal) which then led me to Blackbraid (Native American black metal). Just discovered Blackbraid 3 days ago and have been listening to music and watching concert footage nonstop. Ordered all of Kanonenfieber's releases on physical media on Bandcamp and ordered the 2 Blackbraid releases on the artist's website and hear there will a 3rd album in 2025. Love discovering, hearing new music when it just happens organically, naturally.

[@metalandrockzone]

Thank you very much Bruce, all these bands you mention are great. I am super happy to spend time on discovering new stuff and that also means I don't have to listen to just 40-50 year old music all the time :)

[@jasoncraneadkins197]

I'm usually not a Black Metal fan. But Noise is a class of its own. I'm Totally addicted to all 3 projects of him

[@metalandrockzone]

yes there is something going on here that is very special

[@ArbitraryArbiter]

Saw them play before Amon Amarth in Utrecht TivoliVredenburg! Right after discovering them too

[@metalandrockzone]

That's a pretty good lineup on one night

[@wsLy043]

First time I saw Kanonenfieber was when Noise was a special guest during the performance of 1914 at Summer Breeze 2022. That was epic! In 2023 I saw Kanonenfieber at Dong Open Air and ladt month I went to their show in Oberhausen. Oberhausen was insane, what a performance. Really looking forward to what the future brings for these guys. Next year they will play mainstage on Summer Breeze! Hopefully I can visit a performance of them in 2025 aswell. Noise his other projects are also very nice to listen to, Non Est Dues and Leipa.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes the sky seems to be the limit for Kanonenfieber!

[@thelegendofner0]

It's a great concept all in all!

[@metalandrockzone]

yes it is, thanks for watching

[@evophonmedia]

I've seen them last Saturday in Frankfurt. Incredible show, incredible performance.

[@metalandrockzone]

yes they are in a league of their own

[@ColoDelCartucho]

Saw them last week at a small venue in Paris that is inside a floating strucure on the river. I later saw an instagram post where Noise complained that it was the worst concert experience of his life because he got seasick as soon as he stepped on it, and when people started moshing and the whole structure started rocking he got even sicker and had to puke in between songs. He apologized for not being up to the usual standard. He still kept the show going till the end, and i had the time of my life, i think it's fair to say the crowd loved it as well. If this was his worst, then i think it says a lot about him as a performer.

[@metalandrockzone]

Ok this I need to try! Sounds like a crazy venue

[@ColoDelCartucho]

​@@metalandrockzone It's called the "Petit Bain". It doesn't move that much but definitely noticable :)

[@paulowen5789]

Wasn’t familiar with these guys before but am checking them out now - great stuff. Thank you!

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes it is an interesting band for sure, I just realised thought that I don't even talk about how they play etc. It reminds me s bit of Rammstein in that sense, I am not paying attention to what the drummer, bass or guitar is doing etc. it is the sum of all this stuff that makes up one experience that is very interesting.

[@paulowen5789]

There does seem to be some Rammstein influence, although they don’t sound as industrial. I think the instrumentation is quite interesting, and I love the sound of vocals in German (which I don’t understand at all). Love your videos, man, always interesting and horizon-broadening

[@metalandrockzone]

Thanks for being in the Tribe with me

[@metal_monocle7334]

It’s not black metal per se though; it’s melodic blackened death metal which is way easier to get into than classic black metal. Also Noise knows how to make both good music and a great show, he’s a great guy basically

[@Gepsjorz]

Actually, it’s post grind vegan blacked pre nu metal polka trash Germanic Abba core

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this music is for sure accessible and the whole thing seems to be thought out very well.

[@BigBl0ck-r9y]

To my it sounds like overpruduced generic melo dea4t7

[@metal_monocle7334]

@@BigBl0ck-r9y Overproduced? Hardly... Sure, it's not 1994 trve production, but it sure isn't Jinjer, Electric Callboy or any other zeitgeist band with the clinical and soulless production.

[@andrewmiller218]

I can’t wait for them to come to the USA🔥🤘🏼!!! I’ve loved them since I found them (very fittingly) while very sick with a high fever about 2-3 years ago and I haven’t stopped jamming since!

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this band is not going anywhere but up I think so pretty sure they will tour the US soon! Thanks for watching

[@Saphrax89]

No kidding! I saw them in Budapest in November. As it turned out, it was the same night that Dark Tranquillity's tour arrived to Hungary too and they played at the same venue, but on different stages. I had tickets for both gigs, so I was running back and forth between the stages. Thankfully, there was no overlap for the bands I wanted to see (Hiraes - Panzerfaust - Wolfheart - Kanonenfieber - Dark Tranquillity). Now, DT and friends did very good shows, but in contrast, Kanonenfieber literally blew them out of the water. Kanonen was one of my top 3, hell, dare I say the best show from the thirty-something bands I have seen live this year!

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this band has something extra, thanks for watching

[@OstiSensei]

I see them a view weeks ago in Dornbirn... It was a blast.

[@metalandrockzone]

🤘

[@Dave-H]

Saw them in London at the Dome and it was an incredible gig. Noise is an amazing artist.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this band is on to something

[@TheRisingIcarus]

Super accessible and catchy writing, great stage presence and performances from all the guys, and then I haven't even touched on the way they look. It's just a really entertaining show and honestly the concept is amazing. I relate more to theirs than any other band singing about the supposed "glory" in war

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this band is the total package somehow

[@Malkavian_Grin]

Fully agree; their music holds a kind of catchiness not oft seen in the, uh, scene. Sure, plenty of black metal has good riffs that get stuck in your head but Kanonenfieber puts that feeling into the whole song. You don't want to skip any of it, don't want to miss any of the magic. In 3 days I listened to their latest album 4 times. Hell, it makes me want to learn German so I can sing along! I'm already looking up lyrics and learning bits and pieces (along with the riffs on songsterr!). I'm poor so I'll likely not have the cash to see them (plus do they even tour the U.S.?)

[@DirceuRodrigues-p2c]

Great vídeo, my friend! :) I liked your Cannibal Corpse shirt! 🤘😈

[@metalandrockzone]

Thank you Dirceu

[@uweponitz3588]

I am a German. Dont know this band. I have to Check it out. Thank's for tis Infos 🤘🥁🤘🥁🤘

[@jasoncraneadkins197]

Kanonenfieber is a single Artist called noise. he has two other Black Metal Projects, you should also check out. Leipa and Non Est Deus. Just google Noisebringer. The Creativity and talent of Noise is just breathtaking

[@metalandrockzone]

hope you will enjoy

[@air8orne734]

the ARTE Video that brought them to my attention: Kanonenfieber at Hellfest kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4aqgoeDiJWkgLssi=Ofq2gcXe32PON6Vx

[@patrickbertlein4626]

I should give them another chance, when I first checked them out I was a huge fan (and still am!) of Minnenwerfer's-Alpenpasse, which frankly blows them and basically everything out of the way, like a WW1 cannon! But that is an unfair comparison, despite the same theme, as again that album is so untouchable...like for real I wish I could take a poll and see how many of you listening to it for the first time would think Kanonenfieber is better.

[@metalandrockzone]

I need to check that band out for myself. Thanks for watching

[@richardschafer7858]

Awesome band

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes very good, thanks for watching

[@markchaosmassacre]

I hope they have a song about The Red Baron and Oswald Boelcke. That's a classic tale of WW1.

[@metalandrockzone]

The Red Baron was the pilot right? Thanks for watching

[@markchaosmassacre]

Yeah they were both a pilot.

[@MetalJare]

Awesome band. Musically, they remind me to Necrophobic, also with very catchy chorus on their songs

[@metalandrockzone]

true actually with the Necrophobic feel, hadn't made that connection myself

[@Dis-Connecdead]

"Saw" them live in Frankfurt and it was the most horrible concert i've ever experienced in my history of visiting concerts. Kanonenfieber was awesome as hell! They did nothing wrong but the location let waaay to many people in. You literally couldn't move a single bit or see anything from the show. Some of the personal screamed at us for two whole songs in the opening, because we wanted to stand at some stairs. You couldn't stand there in the case of a fire or emergency. It lead to a grandstand where you could also watch but the sound was horrible there. She wanted that we go into the crowd but it was almost impossible, so many people were there. In the end my girlfriend and me gave up, we fought our way through and could only watch the lights, pressed against a wall. Hours of driving for almost nothing. We wait for another show in another location next year. The experience was completely ruined.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this is not how it should be. Very bad when gigs go like this. Hope you get a second chance

[@kentcarmack5879]

1914 hit first, and still hits

[@metalandrockzone]

I somehow like Kanonenfieber more

[@tautology_zero]

They look like another band in the vein of Ukraine's 1914 - both blackened death/doom, both WWI based, both using media from the time, both using letters and works from the time for lyrics. I've added this to my list of bands to listen to now!

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes 1914 are good but I feel that Kanonefieber are somehow much more epic and immersive somehow.

[@metal_monocle7334]

The two bands are buddies. Noise came on stage with 1914 a few years ago, to help sing a song.

[@xDetroitMetalx]

I hope they come to NA soon. I'd love to see them live.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes I am pretty sure that they will get there sooner than later. Thanks for watching

[@GardenArcher7625]

Listen to NON EST DEUS yall... same people in a different music-project talking about religion.. They are amazing! (and smart..) They perform a "mass" on stage, like a "play" .. you will see..

[@metalandrockzone]

need to check them, thanks for the tip

[@Utopia-ich-suche-dich]

It is their Bathushka Rip-off Band as KAnonenfieber is with the war themes...there is so much more unique stuff out there.

[@sendaaja8809]

I love Kanonenfieber but I would NEVER dare to call it black metal.

[@metalandrockzone]

Why wouldn't you dare that? And what would happen if you did?

[@sendaaja8809]

@metalandrockzone Well, "dare" was probably the wrong word to use, but I feel it would be a disservice to both black metal and Kanonenfieber. Black metal is driven by something else than just the music itself

[@metalandrockzone]

fair point but what i feel about this band is that they are neither black metal nor death metal purely, they are some hybrid there between, maybe melodic blackened death?

[@sendaaja8809]

@@metalandrockzone I agree, blackened death might be the best "box" for this band if you had to put it in one

[@RPRsChannel]

*_Don't worry, if your first thoughts this was nsbm; that's 100% normal._* *_They are not a nsbm band._*

[@GardenArcher7625]

True.. This is art.. Music and a Play on stage.. If you know "Non est Deus" and "Leipa" you will (start to) understand the message. They use masks, because it is about the symbols, not about "them" Noise in particular is the mind behind all these 3 projects, but as far as i know it is always the same 5 guys.. Kreuzer is a war-ship..Gunnar is a common old German name but has Gun(ner) in it..Hans is just Hans.. Sick-Fried is from the German words Victory (Sieg) and Peace (Frieden) Siegfried.. but they say "sick" Friedl.. like this heroic figure turned ill and sick..Noise gives them the Voice..

[@MickeyMouse-el5bk]

I don't know… blackmetal in general is my favorite genere, but Kanonenfieber just doesn't click to me. I don't know what it is. Maybe they pushing to much with their spectacle. Panzerfaust on the other hand is a band, that is not really different, but I like them way more.

[@metalandrockzone]

Interesting, Panzerfaust opened for them at this show, I just didn't connect to them somehow.

[@MrZauberelefant]

I think they're to black metal what amon amarth was for melo death. Great vocals, riffs and beats, strong theme, talented songwriter, full throttle

[@metalandrockzone]

yes that actually makes sense.

[@metal_monocle7334]

Check out the song Lviv from the new record, that's basically an Amon Amarth song

[@phillipthienger7647]

yeah just that they are not black metal

[@metal_monocle7334]

@@phillipthienger7647 yeah, they are blackened melo-death

[@fohgil]

They, or he (Noise), sneaked his way into YT-algorithms by buying clicks for the first EP (afaik). From then on it went kinda viral. BUT: he gathered capable musicians around him and backed up his sound and music with absurdly good stage performances (backing track used right). So those clicks paid off very will. They deserve where they are now.

[@metalandrockzone]

It in some way reminds me of Rammstein, not musically but in the sense that I am not paying any particular attention to any one thing or instrument, it is the overall experience that captures me. Thanks for watching

[@Tysandifer]

If you take music serious maybe it’s you, Bands are like actors, they are not like this at Xmas dinner, Avatar, Slip knot and Rammstein are good examples, this is a show not real life

[@mikoajfrycz884]

Because they took the nihilistic WWI idea from Minenwerfer who were highest watched on BMP channel on 2019 with their album Alpenpasse. they jumped on a easy trend and i truely dispise kanonenfieber for that. I will never support this band.
