YouTube Wednesday with Metal A Capella



van Canto is a 2006 founded German band composed of five singers and one drummer, and as far as I know, the first to sing the so-called a capella metal. This Battery cover is from their debut album, A Storm to Come. It's interesting to notice that on their a capella performance they actually imitate instruments instead of notes. If you go to the Wikipedia page about them, you will see some of their members are in charge of the "rakkatakka" vocals, the "dandan" vocals and the "wahwah" solo guitar vocals. For me, the cover is flawless and it's an interesting piece to check out.
