Van Canto (sometimes stylized as van Canto) is a German a cappella metal band, founded in 2006 and composed of five singers and a drummer. Although the group is often classified as an a cappella ensemble, they use real drums in their music, instead of vocal percussion or beatboxing.
Van Canto play a cappella with classic heavy, power and symphonic metal influence, creating what they call "hero metal a cappella". While only two of the five singers perform the lead vocals, the other three instead use their voices to imitate the guitars and the bass, with the help of amplifiers, in an attempt to sound closer to the original instruments.
As soon as the band was founded, its debut album, A Storm to Come, was released through General Schallplatten. It features seven original tracks, as well as cover versions of Metallica's "Battery" and "Stora Rövardansen" from the movie Ronja Rövardotter. Additionally, videos were shot for the tracks "The Mission", "Battery", and "Rain". On 30 September 2007, they announced a new drummer, Bastian Emig, who replaced Dennis Strillinger's position in the band. In December 2007, Van Canto signed a worldwide record deal with Gun Records/Sony BMG. Also in December, the band were announced as part of the line up of the Wacken 2008 festival. The band also announced that their second album, titled "Hero", was in the progress of being recorded.Hero ended up being released on 26 September 2008, with producer Charlie Bauerfeind.
Napalm Records is an Austrian independent record label focused on heavy metal and hard rock.
Originally, Napalm Records focused mainly on black metal acts such as Abigor and Summoning and folk metal bands such as Falkenbach and Vintersorg. Later on, Napalm Records expanded its roster by adding gothic metal, symphonic metal, power metal and doom metal, as well as the electronic metalcore band Beyond All Recognition, to their roster. Napalm Records has also distributed stoner rock albums, such as Monster Magnet, Karma to Burn, and Brant Bjork works.
Napalm Records has its own publishing house named Iron Avantgarde Publishing.
Primo Victoria (Latin, "Firstly the Victory") is the debut studio album by Swedish power metal band Sabaton. This was the first album they released for their new label, Black Lodge Records.
All music composed by Joakim Brodén.
The canto (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkanto]) is a principal form of division in a long poem. The word canto is derived from Italian word for "song" or singing; which is derived from the Latin cantus, for "a song", from the infinitive verb canere—to sing. The use of the canto was described in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica as " a convenient division when poetry was more usually sung by the minstrel to his own accompaniment than read". There is no specific format, construction, or style for a canto and it is not limited to any one type of poetry.
Famous poems that employ the canto division are Luís de Camões' Os Lusíadas (10 cantos), Lord Byron's Don Juan (17 cantos, the last of which unfinished), Valmiki's Ramayana (500 cantos), Dante's The Divine Comedy (100 cantos), and Ezra Pound's The Cantos (120 cantos).

Van Canto's fourth album once again confirms that guitars are not necessary to deliver first-class metal. "Break the Silence" reflects the German sextet's newfound confidence and experience gained by their previous albums' chart entry and the many live performances that followed. The band's main focus centers around sweeping original compositions, in which the vocal acrobats only enlist the help of the drums. "If I Die in Battle", "The Higher Flight", and "Neuer Wind" show off the mature and extraordinary qualities of the band: appeal and power. Staying true to tradition, Van Canto also delivers several cover songs ("Primo Victoria", "...

One cannot think of a better location to loudly celebrate a metal anniversary than the legendary Wacken Open Air festival. Grave Digger never thought twice than to mark their 30th anniversary with a metal extravaganza that would allow their most loyal fans to celebrate with them at the metal Mecca. This once-in-a-lifetime evening delivered the band's classic "Tunes of War" in its entirety. Thousands of headbangers shared in the enjoyment of timeless anthems such as "Scotland United", "The Dark of the Sun", and of course,"Rebellion". Staying true to the evening's theme, frontman Chris Boltendahl performed in Braveheart-inspired garb. Yet he had more surprises up his sleeve, as he welcomed guest artists Van Canto, Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), and metal queen Doro Pesch to join him on stag...

Dies war das letzte Konzert der Out Of The Dark Tour 2011. Von den 5 Bands war Van Canto natürlich das absolute Highlight. Ich habe fast das ganze Konzert gefilmt. Lediglich von "Dangers In My Head" und "The Bard's Song" habe ich keine Aufnahmen.

If you just want to see the concert skip to 24:17. I just made this video for me and my friends as a memory. Also it should show how awesome In Legend and Van Cantos live shows are. The qualitiy is not in HD because the file was 3,75GB, and uploading that would have taken over 20 hours, That's just too much time^^ I hope you enjoy anyways. There is however no point in watching the first 24 minutes of this video at all, since we're just talking bullshit the whole time. TRACKLIST!

The result is the most beautiful and harmonious of sounds, one that captures Canto Ostinato’s emotional variety and depth through building on the sweetness and simplicity that inhabit this acclaimed composition, first performed in 1979.

http://www.metal-trails.com/ - Interviews, reviews and reports about metal, rock and alternative music. „Was zum Geier ist denn bitte A Capella Metal?!", das wird sich ein Großteil der Leute sicher fragen, die im Musikregal über den Namen „van Canto" stolpern. Manch einer wird wohl auch zunächst denken, dass die ganze Sache irgendein nicht ganz Ernst gemeinter Gag sei ... wer dann jedoch einmal in die Scheiben der Truppe reinhört, der wird eins sehr schnell merken: Die meinen es verdammt Ernst! Fünf Vocalists und ein notorisch lakonischer Drummer bringen bei dieser Band die sonst üblichen Instrumente - sprich Gitarren, Bass und Keys - nur mit Hilfe ihrer Stimmen dar. Was 2006 noch als verrückte Idee aus den Kinderschuhen kroch, hat sich mit der Zeit zu einem wahren Selbstläufer entwicke...

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
We've been training for years
Now we're ready to strike
As the great operation begins
We're the first wave on the shore
We're the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
In this burning inferno
Know that nothing remains
As our forces advance on the beach
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us
We've been here before
Used to this kind of war
Crossfire grind through the sand
Our orders were easy
It's kill or be killed
Blood on both sides will be spilled
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
Now that we are at war
With the axis again
This time we know what will come
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us
6th of June 1944
Allies are turning the war
Normandy state of anarchy
Overlord
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
