German a cappella metal collective Van Canto have returned with one of their most unique covers yet. Known for covering songs like Metallica’s Battery purely through the use of their voices (plus a drummer), Van Canto have opted for something out of left field for their latest music video. The group have released a cover of well known British singer Annie Lennox’s song Into The West, which is the closing track from the soundtrack of The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King. You can watch the video and hear the song below:
Van Canto’s fifth album Dawn Of The Brave is out now on Napalm Records. The band begin an extensive European tour this coming Friday (Valentine’s Day 2014) in Moscow. The tour takes place across sections of February, March and April 2014 and sees Van Canto travelling all across Europe, including a UK stop off at The Camden Underworld on the 2nd of April 2014. The tour concludes with a run of shows in their German homeland, with other German dates also taking place across the tour. The full list of shows can be found below:
