VAN CANTO - Lost Forever (Official)

VAN CANTO's third album will be casting much doubt over the well established definition of metal. Don't come looking for screaming guitars or pounding bass on their latest work "Tribe of Force". These vocal giants forego the support of electronic devices to create powerful tracks fit for the most discriminating of headbangers. Van Canto's virtuous a cappella vocals build upon the rhythmic foundation of a mere drummer to create original compositions that will bring metal fans enthusiastically to their knees. The resonant production by Charlie Bauernfeind (Blind Guardian) emphasizes the sheer power behind each track and allows for a crystal clear sound. Two very special highlights further embellish "Tribe of Force": Legendary metal screamer Chris Boltendahl joins Van Canto for a unique rendition of Grave Digger's classic track "Rebellion" and the vocal acrobats continue to keep the tradition alive and their fans on anticipatory edge by covering yet another Metallica hit. "Tribe of Force" is forged of pure steel, and while it offers a different approach in the making, the end result is sure to send Van Canto well on their way to Metal Olympus. "Tribe of Force" will also be available as a strictly limited edition digipack including a bonus DVD of their 45-minute performance at Wacken Open Air 2008, as well as interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Directed and produced by angst-im-wald.

A while ago, I was under a strong depression, and I had 2 suicide attempts, I will always thank this band because this song managed to save my life, its message I still carry today and ,I know that maybe they will not read this, but thanks they saved me Life I wish one day I could meet them you are the best guys!

[@Demondante16]

You are strong, bro!!!! Peace from Venezuela 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidshofstahl]

We have this album and this morning (on the way to church :p) I heard my 3 yr old daughter singing/growling and listened closer to hear her "rullin the run dun dun, dun dun dun doo, rullin the dun dun doo waaaaaaa" lol

[@ArtemisDown13]

This band brings the riddlydiddly in so many ways.

[@sorasilverstar144]

One of my favorite Van Canto songs. Van Canto is tottaly badass!!

[@heatherlewis4477]

Absolutely! I had never heard of a capella metal before, until my fiance introduced me to Van Canto. 🤘🏼

[@princessanime101]

When that beat drop on the "rollin the run dun doo" my soul felt it

[@Apocraphtica]

I doesen`t know, read ban commens or not, but I say: Your music have such feel of leaving, its fantastic. I am never hear such LEAVE sound !!! You are awesome!!

[@ThabigT101]

*Dad - Hey kid, you can be whatever you want when you grow up! *Young Van canto Kid - I wanna be an electric guittar!

[@Divine009]

singing the background lyrics to this song while playing fifa pro ranked matches, has hilarious effects. especially "rolling the rundundoodundundundun rolling the rundundun bwaaahhh....oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oooooh" ive had this on replay for a while ^^

[@alexisrodriguez5268]

This needs to be louder. My very soul needs to be able to hear this.

[@Kulserai]

Funny enough, the lack of instruments and the "softer" tones this gives is exactly why I like Van Canto I find Metal to be too heavy, so this is just great! :-) but this is what makes us humans so much fun, we're all so different

[@CyriltheWolfmusic]

I have to say... that breakdown is one of the sickest in the universe.

[@misshollyannmorgan]

these people are AMAZING!!....no not amazing...they are more than that....i cant even explain it but they are wonderful

[@RickyPimentel]

Banda perfeita, os caras são monstros, conseguem fazer metal (e não é qualquer metal não) sem uso de instrumentos, salvo a bateria... qualidade acima da média... e destaque para os covers... Muito boa banda mesmo...

[@lilalaunebear02]

Das Lied hat etwas Lustig-Cooles :D Gefällt mir irgendwie (:

[@metalananas]

I can only imagine them sitting around a campfire: Random guy: "Aw man, I wish we had a guitar to play some music." Sly: "Don't worry, we got this covered. Ok, one, two, three..." Dun dun dun dun dun dun...

[@celtofasatru]

Very impressive!!! Erstaunliche!!!!!!!!!!!! Skilled and original musicians, with a brilliant sound... This is definitely a break from the above average sound metal seems to have these days. If bands like Judgement day and Apocalyptica are considered metal, I dont see how Van Canto is any different. The fact that they actually have balls to create something like this makes them more metal than most metal bands. A lot of you cant define metal, so dont try. Hail!

[@vickswolf6871]

muito legal....criatividade é tudo..... \m/

[@KhaosWolfKat]

HOLY SHIT!!! This RULES! A cappella meets Metal.. And what a bombastic love affair it is!

[@R1DL3R90]

What instrument do you play? "Dubba dubbbbaaadubadubadubbbbbaaadubadubaduba"

[@frozendilemma]

Girl: So what do you do for a living? I play guitar in a metal band. Girl: oh that's so cool. Well, umm... actually I make guitar noises from my mouth. Girl: -------------------

[@TagsYoureIt]

10 years after the first time I've seen this video, I still come back to it. Fantastic!

[@vanishy0urself]

Smooth McGroove needs to hear these guys and vice-versa. :)

[@sutorippuwebmaster8783]

I come for the dubbity-dums. But stay for the rolling-the-rum-dum-doos.

[@eshbyesh]

He never actually tells how to roll the Rundundoo, nor the Rundundwaaah.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Underrated comment.

[@michaels6119]

Ironically? There are a series of videos on their youtube channel called Metal a Capella Workshop that covers how they make music. It's SUPER interesting.

[@blackbonsai]

I have seen them live, and yes he do the solos live also only with his voice no guit on the stage.

[@ExtreemD4t4]

Inga

[@Draggynsmate]

Found them completely by accident, I was repairing a radio. When I turned it on to check it, it was the DJ's pick of the day been hooked since.

[@madrocker900]

To interpret Iron Maiden,Metallica,Manowar,Queen already is hard.To create own music is hardest.I just one word to say: wonderfull.

[@BigBenni09]

Hey that is really great work again. To those who asked yes he makes the guitar with his voice!!!!

[@Swampdragon102]

Mom: "which instrument would you like to play?" Me: "The wabbalidamdam"

[@vercareichlova6360]

Awesome😂

[@perfectedID]

Thanks for recommending this track Spotify. Absolutely love it

[@geuzaju]

Wowwww♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@DootDoot93]

@Plerchi1 VC has these specialized recorders which allows their voices to emulate instruments successfully while still sounding like their voices. That's why you can hear a bass even though one isn't present.

[@ruuki753]

Ya know. I almost have more fun singing the Acapella parts more than the lyrics themselves. XD

[@Jakromha]

Almost?

[@ruuki753]

Yes, Almost. Because just about everything in this song is equally awesome. xD

[@Juanheco16]

Man, this is so wonderful. And Sly's voice. I'm so glad he's back on the new album.

[@ethan2171]

I'm not saying this to piss people off, but I did laugh so much through this video.

[@Walsh2571]

bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

[@ethan2171]

It is ridiculously funny omg.

[@ethan2171]

Walsh2571 He does a frikin' guitar solo with his mouth.

I can now sing along now that I have the lyrics.

[@SpecialWithAnR]

Awesome is awesome squared, to the power of METAL. Van Canto, re-defining the boundaries on what was thought to be a boundless genre!

[@Evocoro]

dum dum dum dam dum dum wodumdum wadumbadumdumdabaaaa

[@DeadMeat555to666]

I don't know how in hell i found this band but i'm really happy that i did. this gives the word awesome whole new meaning

[@skarin9871]

To make the sound of a guitar without the guitar. Seems legit...

[@Vercalos]

They do feed his voice through a guitar amp for that effect

[@Bhisha96]

Monk Bullet You know. very High skilled Vocalists can easily make guitar solo's with their mouth.

[@Sirisma]

Michael Winslow does that all the time

[@merilawarjri1027]

Keep it up vancanto you r the best 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@xovi3132]

Anyone still listening in 2018 ?

[@РоджерВеселый-е3е]

Слушает :)

[@scarecrow2691]

Jep😊

[@13Sever13]

1 of the most unusual and best metal band ever

[@niconietzsche7464]

...even in 2019! ...and beyond!

[@sasaristic96]

Even now

[@GonegalRose]

Damn you Van Canto. I want the new album now! And a UK tour to make me even happier.

[@supermario7041]

Tabs anyone?

[@jgeoffn5023]

Dub raba rab dab dab. here u go

[@TheWanderingJewels]

Van Canto is the best thing I've heard all year

[@zlymaciek]

I'm listening this in 1944 and my friend said Hitler just died.

[@tormentuz2]

It's rare, but awesome. Realy creative ^^ A new style of power metal >.< i liked

[@zacjacob4349]

I love this song, but I didn't like the "rolling the run-dun-doo" part very much.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

+Zacjacob Just... roll with it. *sunglasses*

[@BlutungenisteinLuxus]

I honestly don't care if they edited his voice for part of this, it's honestly fricking amazing period.

[@Kekoapono]

@aezakmei They don't use electric guitars. The guy who does the guitar solos electronically distorts his voice. On the album, the track "One to Ten" features guitarist Victor Smolski, who does a duet with the "vocal" guitar using his actual guitar. Van Canto has released a series of videos detailing the process by which they write songs, and it includes a section on how they do the solo guitar line.

[@Wiseman89]

Songs like Van Canto's speak to those with the soul of a warrior. It isn't the band's fault if you can't feel it because your nothing but a dessicated husk inside.

[@SuperMefisto6666]

Van Canto is amazing!

[@SnarkHunter64]

By far my favorite song of theirs. The voice-made instruments would sound ridiculous with any other band, but they somehow manage to make it an epic experience.

[@Kristina30p]

Soo love this. Just discovered Van Canto from their tribute to my game Runes of magic - "Magic Taborea"

[@chchcherrybomb]

Saw them on Rockstad Falun. Awesomeness

[@Demondante16]

Amazing...! van canto the best Inga beautiful

[@TwinLescaux]

Awesome!!! No words for this one... I almost fucking cried when it hit 1:19 ... This is not a Metal Band... They are HEROES! Just HEROES!

[@garney001]

This is crazy original! Love the concept!! They are all very good! Great drums and vocal melodies!!

[@jaromirzelisko2528]

absolutely fabulous thing amazing all directions.

[@Lucifar1990]

Damadam damadam damadam awesome! Much respect

[@giggityguy]

actually him and stefan, the guy who did the vocal guitar solo, both sing the rough guitar notes. stefan sings the lower note, and ross sings a fifth above that to make a power chord

[@TheMetalboy85]

this is the best song Van Canto has. in my opinion

[@eteyrarpg]

If you're not convinced of a cappella metal: buy the tribe of force cd and check out the song 'one to ten': in the a solo part there's grave digger guitarist (playing an actual guitar, yes!) dialoguing in a duo with the "fake" guitar by stephan... The effect is simply awesome!!! Metal a cappella adds something to the metal genre... METAL WILL NEVER DIE!! ALL HAIL VAN CANTO!!

[@gwinny1]

Die Band ist echt genial! Waren live echt prima und die Mitglieder der Band sind echt super nett :D

[@TheDejjv]

epic melody, epic voice, epic drums, epic SONG!!

[@JohnatanTorres]

AWESOME!!!!! Totally Great!!

[@metvelle]

not only is the singing epic on this song.. the drumming is as well.. there are all these awesome drummers on youtube looking for suggestions to cover songs.. and I have mentioned this song 50 times or so.. and still no one has covered it

[@reygomike1770]

oh My God !!! it was awesome !!!

[@patriciadiot9680]

great Van Canto!

[@Kruemmli]

echt genial! Ich kann gar nicht darauf warten, dass das neue Album rauskommt!

[@realzubunapy]

Ich liebe den hymnischen Aspekt in Van Cantos Liedern.

[@cjowalter]

what incredible control! .Music that doesn't require instruments to fill areas that the voice does not....nicely done!

[@kratospcf]

i will certainly be the first brazilian to acquire the trird CD ^^ van canto the best band of the world ^^

[@random.nobody.13]

Just came home from their concert :) they are so incredibly awesome, ESPECIALLY live!!!

[@dankisela4511]

OH WOW, never did I except that! ! ! Even if they are using some enhancements, it takes so little away from the unique over all sounds of this song. AWESOME.

[@jaroslavhuml1354]

Super, ten drajf je úžasný

[@chromeyes]

These guys NEVER cease to amaze me. AWESOME!

[@Ratatosk19]

I love these guys!!!! Congratulations for your wonderfull music!!!

[@TheSeamusmaccorcrain]

They are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[@replicatedmetal]

wow, these guys are doing some of the most avantgarde breakdowns I have ever heard in my life, almost like something out of a bad acid trip

[@marwoz1343]

absolut geil Van Canto!!!! weiter so!! freu mich auf das Album :)

[@AmythestMoonjade]

as usual....just incredible....

[@Prizzy999]

very unique and absolutely brilliant!!!

[@Un0rdin4rYPr0gr4mmeR]

one of the best bands that I've ever heard... sometimes it's unbelieveable that they are just vocalist with drummer...

[@Prizzy999]

Absolutely brilliant!!!!

[@ZyrusSmith]

Yes. That sound is made my compressing your throat muscles and making an almost "meowing" sound.

[@PhoenixPhire22]

Hot damn! I didn't know these guys released a new album! Need to get this one. Love this band!

[@asrialon1]

My new favorite band!!

[@TheJeter15]

You gotta come to Portugal, we're wating for you Van Canto !!

[@Sthyr123]

Love this Amazing song. Im lost forever

[@ThiefOfBreath]

Pure AWESOMENESS!! Can't wait for the CD release!

[@0verk1ll]

First time I've heard of this band, and I am quite impressed.

[@JacobGregory94]

Awesome song!

[@TheFerrara44]

Yes he did. He always does. That's his speciality.

[@atlasrf]

My favourite Van Canto song. The chorus is really catchy

[@Brownies3411]

words cannot descirbe how amazingly hard this would be to do and do as amazing as they can. i think i'm in love?

[@asheppard308]

There is no telling how many times i've almost broke my neck to that breakdown in the song. god damn.

[@efi235]

Just in love with this vocals!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sommerpunkte]

Phantastisch diese Stimmtechnik und Intensität. Ich bin klassische Sängerin und ziehe vor euch den Hut! Great!

[@andrea7692]

A capella metal. This amuses me to no end.
