Mustaa death metalia takova saksalainen Kanonenfieber on julkaissut uuden singlen ”Panzerhenker” lyriikkavideon kera. Biisi on bändin 20. syyskuuta julkaistavalta albumilta ”Die Urkatastrophe”, jonka julkaisusta vastaa Century Media Records.

”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. The offensive was halted by German counterattacks. With the help of anti-tank field guns the Germans managed to take out a large number of the British tanks. J. Krüger, who was known as the ’Panzerhenker’ (= Tankslayer / Tank Executioner), played an important role in this. Even when his battery was wiped out, Krüger 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.” Bändi kommentoi singleä

”The First World War accelerated the path to modernity and is considered the ’Die Urkatastrophe’ (= ’primal catastrophe’) of the 20th century, which was characterized by wars, violence and displacement. Around 17 million people, soldiers and civilians lost their lives, large parts of Europe were destroyed and unresolved problems were left behind, which led to further violent conflicts. This album is dedicated to the victims of the First World War, so they are not forgotten. May their fates be a warning for all following generations even after more than 100 years,”
