Hero Metal A-Cappella
There are certain artists that are so unique and different than what is currently on the music scene here we have a group from Germany that sing what they call Hero Metal A-Cappella which in itself is an amazing sound as you see above there is only a drummer the rest of the sounds are just voices just some great sounds created --would love to see this group live.
They have a great range of vocals that are really a high note for this reviewer as some of what comes across the desk is tiresome and this is fresh.
As a special bonus, more than 200 VAN CANTO fans took part in the choir recordings, and can hear themselves on the new album. Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HELLOWEEN, etc.) produced the drum recordings. The album was mixed by sound wizard Ronald Prent (MANOWAR, RAMMSTEIN, etc.) at the legendary Wisseloord Studio 2. He gave the A Cappella sound and outstanding and omnipresent dynamic. The artwork is based on superhero concept, and this theme runs as a red thread through the photographs and visual design which was provided by Stefan Heilemann. Once more VAN CANTO shows the scene, that it doesn't need electric guitars to rock!
Thank you for reading this
Sincerely
