Dawn of the Brave, by Van Canto

Dawn of the Brave

by Van Canto

supported by

voxpoptart To me, just the idea of "Let's make an almost-a-cappella heavy metal album, with real drums but singing all the guitar and bass parts" sounds wonderful -- at least if the singers are talented, which they are. So 'Dawn of the Brave' is, to me, a delightful proof-of-concept. The original songs are varied and ultra-catchy; so are the covers, arranged with lusty enthusiasm and care, including the songs I felt were blah/ generic/ annoying in their original forms.

about

The most strong-voiced band of the world releases their fifth album "Dawn of the Brave" and elevates their unique A Cappella Metal to the next level. Only supported by a drummer, the German sextet offers the perfect blend of sweeping original songs and cover versions of legendary Rock classics such as "Paranoid" (BLACK SABBATH) or "The Final Countdown" (EUROPE). As a special bonus, more than 200 VAN CANTO fans took part in the choir recordings, and can hear themselves on the new album. Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIN, HELLOWEEN, etc.) produced the drum recordings. The album was mixed by sound wizard Ronald Prent (MANOWAR, RAMMSTEIN, etc.) at the legendary Wisseloord Studio 2. He gave the A Cappella sound and outstanding and omnipresent dynamic. The artwork is based on superhero concept, and this theme runs as a red thread through the photographs and visual design which was provided by Stefan Heilemann. Once more VAN CANTO shows the scene, that it doesn’t need electric guitars to rock!
