  • You all know how much I love a cappella music. You all know how much I love metal music. But what about metal a cappella? I mean, YES! I'm visiting Van Canto again to bear witness to the vocal amalgamation recreating Amon Amarth's hit "Raise your Horns". It was more fun than I was expecting!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Van Canto performing "Raise your Horns”.

      Hey Elizabeth and Kirk, I know you checked out Anneke van Giersbergen where she guested on a few other projects - Devin Townsend/Ayreon/Within Temptation etc , but please dedicate a session to her early years in The Gathering [Leaves/Liberty Bell/Saturnine], or later projects The Gentle Storm [Shores of India] or Vuur [My Champion - Berlin]. This super talented artist stood pretty much alone in the mid 90s in the contemporary/underground metal scene, no doubt influencing later female singers.

    For original songs, "Badaboom" and "If I Die in Battle" are great among a growing count.

    Blind Guardian's "Bard Song"
    Nightwish's "Wishmaster"
    Sabaton's "Primo Victoria" [performed with Joakim Broden]
    Grave Digger's "Rebellion" [performed with Chris Boltendahl]
    They also have some great Manowar covers. Manowar is a power-metal / fantasy-metal band from the 80s that just recently retired. Given your reaction to Dio's vocals, Manowar's Eric Adams should give you a treat. Especially the 90s and earlier songs. Ballads, screams, note range, sustain . . . one of my favorites.

    Recommendation for some older Van Canto Originals, with their original lead singer Sly:
    Take to the sky, lost forever, seller of soul, Bard's Call.
    For a song with Inga truly on lead: Water Fire Heaven Earth
    Hagen is best on their new album, Dead By The Night is my favorite.
    Their lower rakka-takka singer and songwriter (Stefan Schmidt) has another side project called Heavatar. It is also metal, he provides lead vocals and all songs are based/inspired by classical pieces, e.g. "Replica" (Toccata & Fugue in D-Minor by Bach) or "Luna Luna" (Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven)
    The drummer has another band called In Legend, where he sings lead vocals and plays the piano. They make "Piano Metal", so instead of guitars they use a piano. Good songs to check out are "Pandemonium" or "Vortex"

    Sweet!! I've been eagerly waiting for you to revisit Van Canto, and I actually thought of this song during your "My Mother Told Me" reaction. I think it is the only other song that qualifies as viking a capella (Vahalla Capella? Whatever you call it, I hope it becomes a thing.) Voiceplay's song was very fluid and lavish, but this feels much more percussive and barbaric. Hey, lets sail these vocal waters on dragonship once more! Also the band Wintersun now features both the drummer and the new bassist for Nightwish, so now would be a perfect time for that "Sons of Winter and Stars" reaction. Thank you so much, this week is going to be EPIC! 🐉 🐉 🦑 🤘

    Van Canto had 8 musicians for the album this song is from; the album is called "To the "Power of Eight." They normally have 7 members, but this album featured guest vocals from the original male lead singer, thus bumping the number up to 8. In fact, most of the songs in this album features 3 lead vocalists, kinda like the band Amaranthe. Hagen, the male lead for this song also does clean vocals in other songs, and sometimes even uses both.
    I recommend also checking out their cover of "Run to the Hills." Since you recently listened to that song, I think soon is a good time to check out Van Canto's cover. Inga, the female lead, sings the lead vocals and the singers on the guitar parts sing at a fast tempo with incredible precision! I think you'd really enjoy this. I do hope to see more Van Canto reactions. I also hope to see an upload for Wintersun's "Sons of Winter and Stars." 🙂

    Funny you mentioned high and low guitar sounds, in my mind that's to actually fully reproduce a distorted power chord sound. The voices have to be one perfect fifth (or fourth if it's inverted) apart, add the harshness on the top of it. Plus by how they choose they syllabes they also reproduce all the guitar picking techniques. It's really cool.!

    After doing a quick search of your videos. I noticed one metal band that wasn't there, and given your background in opera I am surprised you haven't looked at their content yet. So I will recommend a song by the band Powerwolf, specifically their song "Fire and Forgive" (because sadly it is one of the few with music videos), the lead singer is a classically trained opera singer from Bucharest. His voice SHOWS IT, he has power. A lot of their lyrics are in Latin which is always awesome to hear in songs. They are neither Christian or Satanist, they just use both as a theme and to quote the lead singer when he was asked that, "I am a metalist, a metal fan. Metal is my religion. Look at all these people, what unites them? I can tell you, it's the fucking metal." They really go all out to really fit the theme they have chosen, which is literally Werewolves, vampires and religious themes. They wear priest get-ups with corpse paint for crying out loud.

  • @b.k.4954
    @b.k.4954 Před 3 lety

    I've been lucky enough to sing with Van Canto, and was recorded as part of one of the choirs on an album. A hugely fun experience!
    The syllables are carefully chosen to give the flow they want. Contrary to what you might think, they aren't tongue twisters but roll out easily. So, something like "rum-a-da-dum-a-nah-do-doo" is easier to sing, and sounds better than trying to go "rum-ah-ah" or "rum-a-rum-a-rum-a". Other times, such as at 2:20, you can hear "mo mo mo mo mo mo" which is to simulate a chugging palm mute, but if you try singing it you'll find that you can do long runs of it without tripping up on the words.

    @d.w.stratton4078 Před 3 lety +1

    Hey there. I've been really enjoying your analyses of Heilung's music. I was hoping you'd consider reviewing a song by then called Traust. About 30 seconds in there is this gutteral "wewewewewewe" sound the male vocalist makes that sounds like a cross between Mongolian throat singing and a virtual rasp and I have no idea how he does it but it is haunting and beautiful. I think you'd legitimately get a thrill out of listening to it given how strongly you react to unusual vocalizations!

  • @drkelfrnger

    I don't think I commented on any of your posts yet. Really like your Heilung reactions. I have always been a metal head. As much as I don't want your channel to become a metal reaction channel, Amon Amarth has been apart of my life for years and is spiritual, tough, and sometimes beautiful. A good song I would recommend from them would be the Pursuit of Vikings music video to start with. Really captures the energy and stirs up the old blood.

    If you really want to nerd out you should also make a reaction video to their song "Magic Taborea". This song combines the wonderful music of Van Canto and the Fantasy Online Game Runes of Magic. This is also the song that led me to the band and their music when I first met them at the Roleplay Convention where they were supporting the game with a show there.
