Van Canto
Van Canto is a pioneering a cappella metal ensemble from Bingen am Rhein, Germany, active since 2006 and known for replacing guitars with vocal "riffing." Their eight studio albums — from 2010's "Hero" through 2021's "To The Power Of Eight" — prove that metal can be devastatingly heavy without a single guitar riff, earning them festival slots at Wacken and 70,000 Tons of Metal.
