Go to Youtube and look up "Van Canto- Battery". It's....amazing, haha. Just watch this. Seriously. LOL. The video kinda adds to the hilarity of the whole thing. I'd post it here but they disabled embedding (which is retarded, what's with that lately?!)

 

[Novembers Paul]

BOOSH.

 

[DigitalViolence]

I really don't know what to make of that! It's either genius or ridiculous.

"It's just a fine line between stupid and clever".

 

[Rycher]

I don't have the albums, but I enjoy it too - love how they can get the guitar sounds without even using one! Fear of the Dark is awesome:



And a ballad for Vito - The Bard's Song.

This one sounds like a typical acapella arrangement (I used to go see one acapella group at U of I called The Other Guys, and their covers of pop songs sounded just like this)

 

[Srontgorrth]

Haha Van Canto is hilarious.

 

[Jasonic]

Never heard of this band before.

The arrangement is annoying, but the lead vocals are actually not that bad.

 

[OPETH_DT]

LOL that is just retarded... I've never heard something like that before. I tried to embed a photo yesterday and it wouldn't let me.

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

Like I said, hearing it is one thing even, but watching that Battery video almost made me spit out my drink and laugh. It's really hard to look all cool and "evil metal" when you're going DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUNDADADUN-DUNNNNNN with your mouth, LOL. Then when the "guitar solo" came in I just lost it totally hahaha

 

[OPETH_DT]

It borderlines on the absurd, yet gives a human and lifelike aspect as to what Beavis and Butthead would sound like if they were trashed and came up with an idea such as this.

 

[BrandonS]

This is some of the most retarded stuff ever.
"William Hung Metal"

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

It's a clever idea, a novelty to say the least. There's obviously talent there, whereas I don't know if you could call William Hung "talented". I just personally would enjoy them more if they all properly sang and harmonized together, and leave the music to actual instrumentalists. It'd be less novel I suppose, but I'd prefer it that way.

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

Interesting ....but, uh - no.

 

[AnTz0r]

to be honest, i like Jud Jud much better and this was 10 years ago or something!

cool with the video though

 

[STEVE NICHOLSON]

Barbershop Metal meets Hocus Pocus from Focus.uke:

 

[Jasonic]

Novelty sells.
It's a fact.

Altering Metallica has worked out nicely for APOCALYPTICA over the years. It might eventually for these guys.

 

[Will Bozarth]

haha this is cool

 

[Naglfar]

The Fear of the Dark cover is not bad at all! But Battery... wow... it gives me a fucking headache.

 

[Luz]

they just made a presentation last Wacken

WHAT THE FUCK

would love to know if people make a mosh pit or fucking what :LOL:

 

[The Spirit Seed]

I normally enjoy acapella stuff...and The Bard's Song cover was pretty badass....but Battery was one of the most atrocious things I've ever heard.

I concur, The Bard's Song was actually pretty good! Battery got a good laugh out of me. They are trying to be so serious and imposing, yet they look so damn silly. Of course they did a pretty good job of aping Hetfield's scowl
