Kanonenfieber have released a new single and video for Der Maulwurf (The Mole), taken from their upcoming anti-war album, Die Urkatastrophe.
KANONENFIEBER explains about the back story of Der Maulwurf:
“Underground mine warfare also began in the fall/winter of 1914 with the start of the trench warfare. The pioneers employed to build the mine shafts worked 12-hour shifts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Apart from the miserable oxygen supply, the so-called ‘moles’ had to contend with water ingress and burial. The low tunnels made it impossible to work standing up, which is why the miners soon complained of back problems, open knees and hands and trench foot disease. Miners who worked for long periods of time often suffered from mental illnesses and panic attacks as a result of their work.”
