Van Canto - Raise your Horns (Official)

Raise your Horns is a very special cover for us. For the first time we approached a song with Van Canto in which the lead vocals consistently take place in the lowest growl register. Hagen takes the lead, Inga can set high, almost orchestral accents and Sly leads the choir together with Jan. It's a song in which a "real" riff shows the direction, resulting in a lot of rakkatakka and bass singing. A great composition by Amon Amarth, to whom we are happy to pay homage!

Having 3 lead Singers with sich different voices, isn't the baddest Thing. Hopefully it stays like this

[jacebeleren]

Hell yeah! Not a cover I ever expected but I'm so happy to have it!

[simonpajger]

Finally! Finally Hagen actually growls, not only "sings, as if he have cold" :D So much better!

[SliceyMcBreadmaker]

Straight up, Hagen's got some of the _dirtiest_ growls I've heard in a long while! _Definitely_ appreciating the man's talent here guys, I really hope that you can focus on what he does well and incorporate it in with what Van Canto does best, rather than treat him like he's still got Sly's voice!

[VenomDDD]

I love Hagel's growls. So much cool stuff to expect in the future. Super hyped for the album!

[devilteddy]

[babsmich]

Man man man... Was habt ihr da nur gemacht? Ich weiß nicht was die Nachbarn dachten hier.... Voll aufgedreht die Boxen und ab ging die Luzie 😂 Einfach nur geil? Jo GEIL :-)

[regallag]

Whoa! I didn't know the guy could growl like that, nice job!

[MrEgofreak]

I never thought I'd see Van Canto cover Death Metal, but I'm glad!

[TGZero]

I'll say this for Hagen, he's got a good growl.

[halejupiter]

Best part of 2021 is new music from you!!!

[germandan]

I love this, but I started losing my shit at "doo doo" and "luigi"

[winespringinc.]

This Cover does the north gods justice!
Hagen realy gets to shine here.
Only the leadvocals in the chorus could be set above the choir background a little netter.

[applecofe]

So this is what I was waiting for for a long time since I heard Hagen's ability to growl. Well done! Did it seem to me or in the choir did I hear Sly's voice ?

[tulisotilas]

I like stuff that is different, but unfortunately this version has mixing or sound levels that do not sell it to me.

[jamesb]

Is it just me or did this have weird mix going on? Something sounds very wrong with the highs
