2009, Renouncing the usual assistance from electric guitars and keybords, Van Canto performs the compositions a cappella. Only a lone drummer lends his support to the virtuous vocal acrobats making the resulting 100% metal sound even more amazing. The band does add an extra unique something to deliver captivating original compositions such as ,,Speed Of Light", thunderous new interpretations of old classics such as ,,Kings Of Metal", or ,,Fear Of The Dark", and newer hymns like ,,Wishmaster". Van Canto impressively proves that innovation and tradition must not clash, but rather can work together to create an explosive mix. The album HERO will include an exclusive unreleased bonus track, as well as two video clips to ,,Speed Of Light" and ,,Wishmaster", and an unreleased clip to the track ,,Kings Of Metal".
