Wow, You've really made me want to listen to this now, I havent heard about anything as promising and original as this since Diablo Swing Orchestra.
Thanks for the review and the reccomendation, I will try and get my hands on some tracks... |

| i didnt even need the review (though it was good)- a cappella metal sounds so kickass and innovative! |

It's a gimmick, not innovation.
Nice review, though. |

It's an original band indeed, I liked the vocals, especially Inga's, but I think that the lack of real instrumentation results in a loss of sound quality, I mean, these guys would be great with guitars, keyboards, etc. but would lose their whole essence with this.
The review was really good though, made me get really interested in their work. Thanks for the recommendation Baz. |

| I discovered this band through youtube, and immediately downloaded the album off iTunes (couldn't find it anywhere else!), decent album, love the chorus on King! |

What is A Capelle Power Metal   |

Very interesting... Songs interestingly don't sound hollow even if there is no "real" instruments only drums.

What is A Capelle Power Metal
A Cappella is singing without any instrumental accompaniment, it is a very old expression, and I am sure you know what is power metal if you meant that...  |

| metal without any instrumentation apart from drumming... i dont know, i think i have to hear this for myself, it's quite of hard to imagine that this can really sound solid and not kinda "empty" if you know what i mean |

Nice concept.
The production could have been better though. It's very difficult to hear which vocal sings which part in the music.
They could have mixed it more like the vocals were actually guitars and stuff...
Maybe I could take them more serious then...
I do like the overall sound though, it's something different.
Maybe if they've done something else then Power Metal, I would actually like the music. |

yes, since Diablo Swing Orchestra this is the most original album, no doubt!
and its even more original than dso i think..
but its very very melodic, and its a kickin ass power metal too!
im listening to it now, and its just beautiful!!

|
| Even if the proposal is original, this band lacks of power and real metal spirit... no way. |

have you even listened to the music? there is some power there..
thank you all for your comments, it's great to see I am not the only one that is loving this! I cannot urge you more to check them out if you haven't already - you will be amazed!  |

|
| I saw some time ago the videoclip of The Mission and I don't like it, they didn't look very metal, in any case you have your opinion and I mine. |

| Finally I heard the whole album...must say it good, very good actually. Only thing that annoys me is the female vocals...she doesn't fit in in most of the songs. It's like the had to put her in just because she's part of the band. The Battery cover is excellent. |
|
|
|
| Great voices in this album, they really have talent, and yes it has real power on it, this is metal, there is a lot of feeling in this album, they have spirit, so give them time to show what they can do! They should do some more covers, their original songs are good, but well, I can't stand too much of this for long periods of time. |
|
|
|
| Very weird stuff... In the begining I wonder if there could be metal with no guitars, but these guys are amazing in imitating sounds... Good but not my stuff... |
|
|
|
| Van Canto is really great...many bands do have guitars, but for nothing...Van Canto is producing nice stuff even without them :´) |
|
|
|
It's an amaizing idea and everything, it even sound kinda good, but c'mon.... Metal without guitars? It looses all power that way. Blasphemy.
Although I have to congratulate the band for coming up with this. Really, nothing I've heard is as.... unorthodox as this. |

You're right, this album is missing power, but try the second one, imo it's way better and way more powerful!  |

| Starts nicely but the gimmick loses it's power fast. |
|
|
|
Is it just me or more people think this female vocalist (Inga Scharf ) would be the best replace after Tarja left?
PS: Absolutely love this band |
|
|

My first contact with Van Canto was through this album.. and it was pretty good... I guess.
Even Power Metal being far from my favorite genre, just listening to the voices in this work is almost addicting... these songs would be average/bad metal songs if played with the proper instruments, but transmitted this way makes them very special.
Good album. |
|
|
|
| They're a pretty amazing band. |
|
|
|
Haven't listened to this album, but I have "Hero" and I absolutely love it...the covers are great, but their own songs are quite good as well. Looking forward to listen to this and their 2010 album.
P.S. great review |
