Van Canto - A different approach on power metal

[Der Schriftsteller]

There is an interesting power metal band from Germany. The style is power metal similar to Theocracy, but without any bass, guitars or keyboards. A capella power metal. Actually I've never heard anything similar.

Check out their video "The mission" at http://www.vancanto.de/

Wow !

That was very good! and innovative!!

I usually cannot stand acapella, but done with a power metal structure and the creativity of this is something completely different.....Great stuff!

My brain is still trying to process this. They even use the doo wop sounds sometimes. I would never imagined these styles married. It's hard to swallow to say the least. After a while, maybe I can figure whether I actually like it or not.

i'd think their would still need to be a string or at least a keyboard instrument playing background chords at least. Still very impressive, all their singers!

That was pretty sweet! I wanted to hear a... erm... voice-guitar solo though.

That band is ... ahem, DA BOMB!

Can't get enough of it. It's on repeat. Rough guess: 150 times...
