VAN CANTO - The Seller of Souls | Napalm Records

Innovative, compelling and unique! 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 album's 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", "Bed of Nails", and "Master of the Wind"), as well as illustrious guests appearances. Marcus Siepen (Blind Guardian) can be heard playing the acoustic guitar on the ballad "Spelled in Waters", while Sabaton frontman Joakim Broden steps up to the mic on "Primo Victoria" to give his band's hit authenticity. The limited edition digipack also includes a bonus cover song ("Bad to the Bone" by Running Wild). In addition, the
track "Betrayed" features a symphonic "metal-a-cappella" piece with orchestral support, while "A Storm to Come" unveils an exclusive bonus: the first song from "Peer Returns", the Van Canto Crossmedia-Projekt to premiere at the end of this year. "Break the Silence" captivates with strong songwriting and a novel implementation. A cappella metal! Metal like no other!

Ich hätte nicht geglaubt das mich nach mehr als 30 Jahren Metaller sein noch etwas überraschen könnte...Van Canto hat es geschafft ich sitze bei jedem anhören immer noch mit vor staunen offenem Mund da und mit einem Gigantischen Grinsen..einfach NUR Geil das Ganze! :)

[RickyPimentel]

A cada álbum que passa o Van Canto se supera mais e mais... uma obra prima...

What the Hell -, -
Eine Metal-Acapella-Band!!! Sowas geniales hab ich ja noch nie gehört!!! Danke Leute!!! Ihr seid der Wahnsinn, macht weiter so!!!

A Metal-Acapella-Band!!!! Something brilliant, i´ve never heard of that. Thanks Guys!! You´re awesome, keep up!!!

[FaustRothschild]

I honestly don't even feel like guitar is missing in their songs, they somehow make up for it. I just recently found about them, and I'm really amazed, that their music keeps me entertained, even without a guitar, which is...pretty much the only instrument that really moves me, but there...these people make up for it with their awesome voices.

[reekitrhymeswithweak]

I proud of them...they write beautiful song. And I want to see them an other time ! They were perfect the last time, but now, with the Dawn Of The Brave album, I really want to see them again !

Hearing a completley new Van Canto song=one step closer to paradise:D

[clairebrannon]

I love Van Canto! LOL, it's so hilarious how they're using a piece of styrofoam to represent a human soul or a ghost or whatever. Low-budget yet creative. If you never thought you'd hear metal, do-wop and opera in the same track, think again!

[sirbuzzamss]

Selling my soul.. PM offers..!

[metalger]

[Leftist-zxpf]

I miss sly not only the voice but also the acting and the beauty, sniff

[CartoonKids]

Thank you Napalm Records! It's very amazing and Van Canto is my favourite Band.

[luxiscarbonus]

As all van canto songs, this one takes its time to soak into you but then it won't leave you... "Primo victoria" and "If I die in battle" are priceless, worth the cost of the album for

[standmyground]

Yet another awesome epic video from Van Canto. Good job, guys! I love it!

[VeldWolf]

I heard this song live yesterday in Dortmund...
They're just amazing, Inga is beautiful!

Awesome..

[Flogosmaster]

I still like this video and also the funny bubbles - what a great idea!

[Leemanaoh]

It's like they're staring into my soul...

Anyway, was not expecting this, but I'm pleasantly surprised :) I'm looking forward to the new album

[Kittinae]

Just when I thought they couldn't get any better..
Van Canto, you blew my mind, and left my jaw hanging wide open.
I love how in this song niether Inga nor Sly are more dominant in their vocals. We get to hear them both in an aesthetically pleasing style.
I take my hat off to you, Van Canto. Well done!

[crsohr]

Can't... stop.... watching... so... GOOD!!!
