Kanonenfieber – Menschenmühle (2021)

July 22, 2024

There’s something about Kanonenfieber that I can’t quite put my finger on. The songs are – at the surface level – enjoyable and engaging, but as soon as you try and scratch further, to dig deeper and form a more meaningful connection with the music on the record, there is something that is blocking this from happening. It seems that the band’s black / death metal is only skin deep, and after you scrape away the war aesthetic there is not really all that left that is exciting or alluring. This isn’t a bad metal record by any means, but I can see myself returning to this all that often.
