German war-themed steel act Kanonenfieber have dropped their new single “Z-Vor!”” simply in time for his or her early-hours set at Summer season Breeze Open Air on Thursday night time into Friday morning. The monitor arrives with an elaborate lyric video, steeped in historic element, and serves as the primary style of the band’s upcoming compilation Soldatenschicksale (Troopers’ Fates), due January 30, 2026 by way of Century Media Information.
“Z-Vor!” attracts its narrative from the occasions of Could 31, 1916, as British and German naval forces clashed in what grew to become the most important sea battle of the First World Battle — the Battle of Jutland. The track’s title displays the pressing command given amid the chaos of battle.
Soldatenschicksale will function revised variations of earlier tracks alongside two model new items forming the Skagerrak cycle, specializing in the Jutland engagement. The band’s assertion outlines their mission: to shift focus from summary casualty numbers to the person lives misplaced in warfare.
Kanonenfieber feedback about Soldatenschicksale: “At college, we’re taught that warfare is one thing dangerous. From the Defenestration of Prague to the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo – warfare all the time means violence. We hear of political tensions, daring army campaigns, and grueling battles of attrition. All of it supported by numbers so large and summary, they appear virtually unreal: 17 million useless within the First World Battle alone.
“When the gunpowder smoke clears from the battlefield, solely the useless stay – who’re now not actually thought of folks. However who was the person mendacity shot in a shell crater? Who was the hardly 17-year-old boy who suffocated in a dugout after a mine hit, screaming for his mom? Who was the sergeant, the cadet, the sapper – the atypical soldier who, in a matter of seconds, misplaced each his life and his identification? A single destiny, so small within the shadow of the ‘better complete’ that it barely appears value remembering.
“That is precisely the place Soldatenschicksale begins. From the American landings on the Western Entrance to the cruel winter warfare within the East, to the battles above and under the floor of the North Sea – it is about folks. About voices. About tales which might be at risk of being forgotten. ‘Soldatenschicksale’ brings collectively revised variations of ‘Yankee Division’ (2022), ‘Der Füsilier’ (2023), and ‘U-Bootsmann’ (2023), in addition to two model new tracks that work as ‘Skagerrak’. Skagerrak. The most important naval battle of the First World Battle.”
