German 'A Cappella Metal' Band VAN CANTO To Play Free Amazon Showcase

September 8, 2008

German "a cappella metal" band VAN CANTO — which consists of five singers and one drummer (no guitars, no bass, no keyboards) — will play an exclusive Amazon showcase at the Metropolis Club in Munich, Germany on October, 9 2008. The concert will be part of the Amazon newcomer shows and the free tickets can only be obtained through www.amazon.de/newcomer.

After playing shows in Brazil earlier this year and after a tremendous gig at this year's instalment of the Wacken Open Air festival and other summer festivals, the band is ready to release its new album, "Hero", on September 26 through GUN Records. The CD will feature 10 songs, including originals like "Speed Of Light" (see video below) as well as covers of several metal classics, including songs by IRON MAIDEN and MANOWAR.

VAN CANTO's debut album, "A Storm To Come", was released in 2006 through General Schallplatten and re-released last year through GUN Records. It features seven original tracks as well as cover versions of METALLICA's "Battery" and "Stora Rövardansen" from the movie "Ronja Rövardotter".
