There best album yet. There are some real killer songs on this. Ritter der Lüfte is my favorite track on it.

I thought the debut was good but it didn't wow me nearly as much as this album has, it's much better than I expected it to be, full of raw emotion, with a great sound, and fantastic riffs. I'd say "Lviv Zu Lemberg" and "Waffenbrüder", and "Ritter Der Lüfte" are particular stand-outs for me.

Nothing new but I enjoyed it a lot

I thought the debut was top level stuff, but this is even better! Fantastic riffs, blazing leads, super-powerful vocals, and machine-gun drums. Black metal with anthemic choruses, and an all-killer, no-filler album. "Lviv Zu Lemberg" is a candidate for song of the year.

Agreed. I thought the debut was very solid. I didn't quite get the resounding praise it was receiving, but I respected the fan enthusiasm. This one, though...it's ridiculously tuff. Especially the emotional drive of the instrumental performance. It's a massive enhancer.

Man, I thought 1914 were the current reigning kings of WWI metal but Kanonenfieber are quickly overtaking the throne.

It’s not per se beter than its predecessor, but it’s a very solid release that builds upon the first one. Better riff structure and more “anthemic” choruses. A very enjoyable album.

This was great tbh. Solid contender for the best of 2024

Wow awesome album, even surpasses the debut! I wasn't sure how this was going to compare to my favorite WWI-themed album Kaiserschnitt (even both refer to Verdun), but Kanonenfieber did a fantastic job here, combining both feelings of ferocity and tragedy. Definitely a contender for best black metal album of 2024

This shit is simply awesome and kinda genius. I'm a huuuuuge fan of everything related to WW1 and of course also love metal music, so it's the best of the both worlds. Not only that, but their cover art and visual style are clearly inspired by old propaganda posters and Japanese art. Like how much more cool could you possibly get? Just take my money.

I was halfway through the album and already destined to give this a very good 8

This is AOTY for me.
