lim. Mediabook CD with 32 page booklet KANONENFIEBER: At school, we
are taught that war is something bad. From the Defenestration of
Prague to the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo war always
means violence. We hear of political tensions, daring military
campaigns, and grueling battles of attrition. All of it supported by
numbers so massive and abstract, they seem almost unreal: 17 million
dead in the First World War alone. When the gunpowder smoke clears
from the battlefield, only the dead remain who are no longer really
considered people. But who was the man lying shot in a shell crater?
Who was the barely 17-year-old boy who suffocated in a dugout after a
mine hit, screaming for his mother? Who was the sergeant, the cadet,
the sapper the ordinary soldier who, in a matter of seconds, lost
both his life and his identity? A single fate, so small in the shadow
of the greater whole that it barely seems worth remembering. This
is exactly where Soldatenschicksale (= Fates of Soldiers)
begins. From the American landings on the Western Front to the
merciless winter war in the East, to the battles above and below the
surface of the North Sea its about people. About voices. About
stories that are in danger of being forgotten. Soldatenschicksale
brings together revised versions of Yankee Division (2022), Der
Füsilier (2023), and U-Bootsmann (2023), as well as two brand
new tracks that work as Skagerrak. Skagerrak. The largest naval
battle of the First World War. After years of naval armament between
the German Empire and Great Britain, the inevitable happened: on May
31, 1916, two great powers collide. In the songs Z-Vor! and
Heizer Tenner, the sinking of the light cruiser SMS WIESBADEN is
told from the perspective of a naval signalman and a stoker deep in
the engine room. Artillery. Fire. The roar of machinery. And in the
middle of it all: two men, caught in a story no one survives.
