KANONENFIEBER , directly on the stage of Carioca Club in São Paulo.
The German black metal band, which has been making waves across Europe with its dark lyrics and historical war theme, finally brings its destructive front to fans here on December 7th. Tickets are on sale at the Clube do Ingresso website .
If you enjoy extreme metal with a ferocious stage presence and heavy atmosphere, you have good reasons to put this show on your calendar. Below, we list five highlights that promise to make this debut in Brazil memorable.
1. “Menschenmühle” live: the brutality that horrified Europe
If there's one track that defines Kanonenfieber's sonic impact, it's "Menschenmühle" . Based on accounts from the First World War, the song mixes insane blast beats, dense riffs, and atmospheric passages that stick in your mind.
2. The aesthetics of war brought to the stage
Kanonenfieber don't just take the stage with instruments – they come in full costume. Uniforms inspired by the war era, somber lighting in shades of green and red, and an almost theatrical stage presence. Don't be surprised if you feel like you're in the middle of a battle. The performance is conceived as a complete experience, where sound and image go hand in hand.
3. The highly anticipated “Der Füsilier” and its killer chorus.
Another sure highlight of the setlist is “Der Füsilier” , a track that has gained traction as the band's anthem. The main riff is pure fuel for the mosh pit, and the chorus is one of those that resonates in unison among fans.
4. A Marduk cover? It's possible – and it sounds insane.
Those who follow Kanonenfieber have already caught a few shows where they deliver a brutal cover of "Panzer Division Marduk" – a tribute to the Swedish school of militarized black metal.
5. The intense relationship with the public: between respect and fury.
Despite the dark themes, vocalist Noise (yes, that's the guy's name) often delivers short but impactful speeches between songs – recalling the human impact of wars and asking for respect for the victims, always with sincere delivery. At the same time, he commands the stage with screams that pierce the soul. This duality – sonic brutality and humanity in the lyrics – is one of Kanonenfieber's signature live performances.
