Kanonenfieber<\/a><\/strong> has been making waves in the underground for a few years and now they’re taking it to the big time with their Century Media Records debut Die Urkatastrophe<\/em>. Kanonenfieber<\/a><\/strong> is now the album’s second single “Panzerhenker” with all its beefy breakdowns and blackened death metal blasts.<\/p>\n “The Battle of Cambrai took place from November 20 to 30, 1917 and marked the first offensive in which tanks played a decisive role in the attack strategy. The British carried out the attack with the support of battle and auxiliary tanks as well as an intensive barrage,” said Kanonenfieber<\/a><\/strong>. “The offensive was halted by German counterattacks.<\/p>\n “With the help of anti-tank field guns the Germans managed to take out a large number of the British tanks. J. Kr\u00fcger<\/strong>, who was known as the ‘Panzerhenker’ (= Tankslayer \/ Tank Executioner), played an important role in this. Even when his battery was wiped out, Kr\u00fcger<\/strong> remained as the last survivor at a field gun and destroyed up to 16 of the approaching tanks. When enemy assault troops penetrated his positions, he attacked with a pistol and was eventually wounded and captured.”<\/p>\n Die Urkatastrophe<\/em> is out September 20.
