Van Canto - The Seller of Souls

Well it's very rare I write two blog posts in one day but this new song by German acapella group Van Canto could not possibly go unnoticed. I have been blown away by their cleverly arranged vocal harmonies and no instruments but a drum is used. A gap in the popular music industry I think; have admired their covers of famous metal songs that have made their mark such as Nightwish's Wishmaster and Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark. They have also written such beautiful original songs that you not hear like it anywhere else. I must say the heroes of acapella have progressed most definitely through this extremely powerful song that I must be hearing for about the third time in the past fifteen minutes because it is that amazing. I am very excited about the realease of their new album which will be from 23rd September; click here for more details, you can now preorder the album.

Sworn To Oath - Last Call

Having only found out about Sworn To Oath today it came to my attention they had a new single out this week that I bought from Amazon as a MP3 file. Must say I am highly impressed by these rockers who hail from The Midlands in the UK. It starts off as a dirty grungy guitar riff building up to an almighty melody that is sang by a vocalist who has incredible pipes. I personally really liked this song; I have also bought their EP to listen too. I wish these guys the best of luck with the release of their new single and hope to hear more from them soon.
