Behind Kanonenfieber is a young musician from Bamberg who calls himself "Noise" and deliberately keeps the project anonymous. He lives from a regular 40-hour job, but his passion is music. He dedicates most of his free time to this. In recent years he has built up a small home studio. The album "Menschenmühle" was also created there.

The idea for Kanonenfieber came from a discussion with a friend about aspects of the metal scene and how historical themes are implemented. Specifically, it was about the topic of the First World War. As a conclusion, the concept for "Menschenmühle" was created without glorification of the war, without a gore aspect, historically exact and verifiable with facts.

Helpful: The friend is an amateur historian with a large collection of letters and original documents from the First World War. And it was precisely these reports and letters that served as the basis for the texts.
