Van Canto-Hero

[Lassinaattori]

RUN DUN HEROO...

[thrashandburn1022]

one does not simply run dun heroooooooooooo into mord-----

HOLY SH*& WHERE DID THAT ARROW COME FROM??!??!?!?!

[Iroslaw88]

Someone should make a full-band cover of this. ^^

[fullmetaleisbaer]

its so amazing great band

[supertrent2448]

The breathing is easy if you know how. You breath a breath that is incredibly fast and deep after every other phrase, and the people around you then get slightly louder when you breath. They breath in the phrase previous to that, and you get louder when they breath. 3 years of choir will reach you things like this.

[vanishy0urself]

When does the "RUNN DUNN HEROO RUNN DUNN HEROO" guy breathe during that "RUNN DUNN HEROO RUNN DUNN HEROO" thing? I can't hear a single pause during that.

[jayanta43]

@vanishy0urself they take turns singing that part, i believe.

[vanishy0urself]

RUN DUN HEROO RUN DUN HEROO RUN DUN HEROO!!!

[coolperson1145]

I was hoping this would be a cover of Skillet's Hero. But oh well, this kicks ass nonetheless!

[Avarice447]

my friend said he hated van canto. i put him in a straight jacket.

[IcedPhoenix666]

Needs more dum dum dum dum!!!

[GamersTaringa]

RAMDAM HEROOO RAMDAM HEROOO

[pieniaurinko]

great song!

[justmetal11]

the only reeson i looked up this song is because i saw van canto and hero, so i thought they did a cover of skillets song, which kicks ass, p.s. jen ledger = hott

[qwerty63416341]

This song is the theme song to a LARP event I went to :D

[VenomCraze224]

RUN DUN

[andyman01869]

lyrics?



[TheNewKeylaleigh]

@andyman01869

You can find them on DarkLyrics,com I would post the link, but youtube wouldn't let me.

[leonblackhack666]

skilet v'got a song that is named hero but it doesnt seem to be the same with this

[fantasywandres]

their colabration with tarja's Anteroom of Death is awesome!! Tarja knows how to apply their vocal techniques to suit her song. Great job Van Canto!!

[taalii123]

Who did the original? Or did Canto write this one?

[wawwwaaa]

@taalii123 van canto wrote this one

[taalii123]

@wawwwaaa Ah. Cool. 

[jck1794]

3:45 sounds awesome

[ShantirelGalaerivel]

Rundun, Hero! Rundun, Hero! Rundun, Hero!

[BretislavVetes]

They are the best. :) Side by side with Diablo swing orchestra, they are the most inovative band ever. :)

[DonnySN]

[ImYourDeity]

One of the best vocal solos evar!

[ImYourDeity]

3:22 best solo since lost forever

[defuntoba]

everything about this is perfect. The guitars, the solos, the lead vocals and even the bass. "dooooooon"

[igotpwninmyboots]

[missourninja]

i wish i could put the beginning part on loop.

[LadyMinstrelsBallad]

I could listen to 3:38-3:55 for forever! XD

[MrClevenger777]

Wow, just discovered this band today tjough a World of Warcraft video. I am an avid metal fan (Soilwork, In Flames, All That Remains, Lamb of God, Mudvayne, etc) and I absolutely LOVE this band. At my church we sing acapella only, and never knew a metal band could! This is so awesome!

[hellhalif]

@MrClevenger777 dude best idea: try to get your church to do van canto

[bluepunk95]

@hellhalif Dude, I was gonna do this at my church too! =D!!

It should be widespread. Churches everywhere doing Van Canto XD

[hellhalif]

@bluepunk95 Yes XD every one whould flock to the chruches to hear 6 guys singing Van Canto Even people in ALASKA

[freakyfridayfreaky2]

rann dann hero rann dann hero rann dann hero randan ragadada randan ragadaga ran dan YEEEAAAAhh

[JackCorvus]

a lot people told me their concerts sucks, but those guys should try to sing like that themselves!!

Rakataka!! XDD

[schabrakan]

my brother showed me van canto and i was in love with the music immediatly

[Joepower30]

van canto rule an the girl has a fit voice an she is gorgeous :P

[Darknessio]

C'est franchement trop trop trop enorme ! AWESOME BAND !

[Lrdarucard]

I just discovered this band today and im already in love. Love the concept. Love the originality. Love their voices! Whats there not to love??? Only idiots who cant appreciate good musicians would disrespect their talent! :) <3

[Wh0sThisGuY]

a capella metal.... At first I thought this would suck, but now...Just amazing!

[Creeeeemi]

I just adore Hansis voice it's absolutely incredible and unique

[Metalscavenger]

Hansi from Blind Guardian sings on this song =D

[wawwwaaa]

Hansi sings on "Take to the Sky", another great track from this album.

[Metalscavenger]

ow, damn, i should start listening to the song xD

[wawwwaaa]

no worries

[ArtemusDelphus]

@wawwwaaa Actually, if I recall correctly, Take to the Sky is from A Storm to Come, the album just preceding this one. :)

Though agreed, Take to the Sky is one of VC's better songs.

[Naerah]

@wawwwaaa With Hansi that song must be SOOOOO good, Blind being my fav band hehe.

[SweetOdinsRavens]

@Metalscavenger Blind Guardian and Iced Earth are like the Gods of power metal

[maxthunder1991]

RAN DAN HEROOOOOOOOOO RAN DAN HEROOOOOOOOO

amazing...

[fountainPoison]

I think this might be my new fav song xD

[helpmemore]

@ b5thomas7: for solo guitar vocals they use guitar amplifiers! just have a look @ van canto metal a capella workshop - here on youtube!

[b5thomas7]

3:30-3:40, hard to believe that is vocals

[Strat369]

well he's using a voice modulator, but its still pretty talented shit. their cover of wishmaster is fucking awesome if u havent already heard it. van canto ftw!

[airadoz]

i know

edited maybe?

[barny100]

Fucking love this band!

[GameJourney]

They replaced guitars with voices. That is the coolest thing ever. Has anyone else ever done that in metal?

[wawwwaaa]

nope, first time...well as far as I know

[SmaracZesci]

It is the first time.

[ihvmmj]

Seems they're the first actually doing it... :) I am not complaining. ^^ Wouldn't mind if they inspired others////

[123bigbird456]

@GameJourney It's called a capella.. Haha

[wiccan31576]

@123bigbird456 im not so sure...i like van canto but a capella is ALL voices...they have a drum kit, i know it seems like nit picking but...yah...

[ImYourDeity]

@wiccan31576 even if theyre not, doesnt mean they arent good. still, how can you do metal without drums? it would sound ridiculous.

[wiccan31576]

@ImYourDeity probbaly right, there still a great band

[bluepunk95]

@wiccan31576 You'd think so. But a metronome doesn't change the fact that something's a capella.

Think of the drums as reeally fancy metronomes.

[wiccan31576]

@bluepunk95 huh, never lookd at it like that. good point

[bluepunk95]

@wiccan31576 I tend to make those =p Thanks :}

[OJtheModerator]

@bluepunk95 You're gonna hurt Bastian's feelings.

[wtfmandudeguy1]

sounds AWSOME

rum, dum herro

rum dum herro

rum num run dum

[johnnyorkan]

van canto feat. apocalyptica? :D

[xxXToushirouXxx]

OMG i think my head will explode!

that would be the most awesome thing!

[xanox02]

I live them as much as NightWish or Tarja ^^

[mattiaguada]

mmm. it's strange...i mean that they didnt'come in your country...

[mattiaguada]

why where do you live??

[wawwwaaa]

Canada...

[rs4us]

germany

[hellboyPS]

wtf they're going to play in my little hometown with a population of only 40000. Great!

[wawwwaaa]

wow, that's amazingly lucky--I wish they'd even come to my country

[MrCrowIey]

Van Canto is awesome. I don't get how people can disrespect them.

[CamaRO9923]

@MrCrowIey easily. Very few of their songs actually sound good. The fact that they use drums kinda takes away from the whole voice only thing. I give them props for being somewhat original; however most of their songs sound laughable, especially to the fans of the original versions. For example, the Manowar song they covered... came out sounding retarded.

[ImYourDeity]

@CamaRO9923 the manowar cover came out deeper and more brutal than the original

[GruschlGruschl]

is this the original song or not? could anyone help me please? :)

[wawwwaaa]

As far as I know its the original. On this album, they have 5 covers and 5 originals.

[lvark08]

muy buena esta banda, hacen un juego de voces espectacular

[ReeferMadness66]

I find them very interesting too, "fresh" concepts are always good for the metal scene...

[TompaPocok]

@ReeferMadness66 and i think, besides that they are really good, that's the most important thing about them...

[biedrzycki14]

@ReeferMadness66 if you like them and like the "fresh" and new thing check out diablo swing orchestra and in legend. actually in legend has the drummer from van canto as a singer. also apocalyptica if you havent, but they are sorta getting a lil to popular for my taste. and if you are like me and love metal in general look up nuclear blast all stars. its a sorta super group thing that has amazing singers in it. like hansi and tony kakko and tarja.

[wawwwaaa]

I know, but for some reason when I transfer pictures onto youtube, the quality just goes away

[BrynKing]

Woot!!!! love this band. Simply amazing
