My dad gave me speach when i was young. He somewhere said "you can become anything you want, your imagination is your limit my son" and so i became a guitar.
Funny that trick, You take a typical guitar amp, and the right plugin Mic , you TOO can do the same... With a bit of vocalization tricks, it will give it the "amp" sound.
Raziel Milky Yeah, mb not a cult, basically a temple on top of the highest mountain in Skyrim, High Hrotgar or something. The villagers below the 7000 steps that lead to the fort atop mention that they basically never go out and villagers only goes there to give them some food etc. but they mastered the way of the dragon voice without being dragonborn, so basically they just hone their skills and wait for another dragonborn to find his way there... Pretty boring life isn't it?
Raziel Milky The order seems like some sort of designated guide for the dragonborn, they live to serve him, also skyrim wouldn't be complete with just another end like in gothic 3 or something. It's a living world (sort of) and it's just fine we see some of the life of one character and jump to another, Elder scrolls 2016 confirmed btw :D
Raziel Milky Its a video game. Its not supposed to make sense. Does magic and dragons, enchanted sword & wizards make sense? No but its still in Skyrim
Fantasy heavy metal a capella? If I didn't come across this video, I'd have never believed it was possible. Congratulations guys, you're now one of my favorite bands ever.
I'd like to say that this main vocal is literally the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard and I think like that since I was 14 (i'm 24 now). Thanks bye
+weaslyisking I wouldn't really. They seem not to be as careful with the opponent as I am used to (I've been told that we in the Netherlands are way too soft in LARP compared to other countries). I saw some hits aimed at the head or throat. Also the shot where one guy just (of course acting) punched another guy in the face.
Jakromha As you said, they're acting. They're shooting a music video so clearly they're playing it up a bit. They are probably way safer in reality. Besides, I like rougher larps, makes sit more immersive for me :)
Actors did a great job on this, would still like to see it return with professionals maybe on a larger scale, this song deserves to be a world wide hit!
I'm just here to enjoy the music. I happened across it, and stuck with it. I give no thanks to ridiculous 'sources', but I give credit to the band for coming up with such a masterpiece. Good job, Van Canto. Good day.
I know Van Canto at 2 years, and this music still making me almost cry in the intro. this music is over 9000 in beauty. (I'm sorry if have English errors, my english is poor. xD)
I've only had a passing interest in Metal music, but Van Canto brings me great pride to hear their voices. I'm an extremely huge fan of a cappella music. The power of voice can be as silky as a violin and as rough as a metal guitar! This, and several of their other pieces reflect exactly that!
Sometimes, when you love metal, you get that superior feeling of belonging to an elite, like you hold some truth radio-listeners will never reach. It feels pretty fucking good, actually.
And thus arrogant metalheads were born. As if metal was some sort of "grand" music like classical or jazz... Don't be mistaken, I love metal, I grew up on Nightwish and NIN, but don't try to tell people that it's not musically very simple and that the music is not aiming to induce some sort of a primordial feeling of superiority...
tickets for their concert in april in the Netherlands are waiting in my closet....can't wait to see them live...they are awesome, and this song is their absolute best
Awesome band! The lead voices are beautiful, too! I could listen to them all day. I have... Sorry to see Sly leave..... The new guy has a legacy to fill.....
I am truly amazed about how this video and music fit each other perfectly! Both are masterpieces separately, killer shockwave together - great job once again, Van Canto!
@David Torode How could I have predicted it? 8 months ago, so it was April, the pandemic has one of the highest points reached in my country till a few weeks ago. I never predicted it. And it should only mean, that I was at this time (and will be soon again) in HomeOffice because of the pandemie. CoVid-19 is the source yes, but it is also the short form vor Corona-Virus-Desease - 2019. Is it now clear? Or need I to explain further (I am not sure if I have understand you the right way) :)
If I die in battle I want you to know there is a clean pair of underwear in my pack, you need change me out. I don't want to lay in my own excrement. Sorry squad, but yeah...shit happens.
Great! But even in the video, we had a little more work on the movements of the archers. Does not lead to the end of the string, and there is at least a moment's pause for aiming. I know it's not so important, such shortcomings, it is very frustrating to our archers. Otherwise, everything is perfect. (I apologize if there are errors, I do not know much English)
Enrique Zacur I apologize. As I said, with the English I have a problem. Wanted to say that not enough archers to work on movements. Although it has a lot since then time has passed, and I was very aware that with aiming everything is okay. PS gained experience over time.
The acting is not great, but i just love Van Canto and all of their musics. I have almost all CDs. And I'm also gathering more Van Canto fans. Most of my friends didn't know them before i played one of their songs to them, and now they just love it too. Thanks, Van Canto for all your musics!
I was part of the Video, and i saw Stef running around with a Cam, but i dont know what happend to the vid. Maybe if u ask em politely, hell put it online :P
KelbenArunsun Waitwaitwaitwait....he actually does that with his mouth? I mean I knew they were a capella but I thought that they usually inserted a guitar bit for the solos. Holy sweet Mother that just made this band even more epic than i thought. And I thought they were pretty epic to begin with.
+Squishy T Gastrodon I've tried nightcore. Not impressed because it's mostly copy/paste music that has been sped up and re-uploaded. Remixed nightcore is cool but a majority could be made just using the RUclips tempo change feature on the original music track.
My dad gave me speach when i was young. He somewhere said "you can become anything you want, your imagination is your limit my son" and so i became a guitar.
No... come on... speAch? Seriously?
@@xerospacious4024, I'm not the one who's got problems spelling 'speech', mate
rather be a apache attack helicopter. And I hope I never got used.
should have given u spelling lessons instead
Guys name is obviously not English, clearly it's his second language, gets berated in comments for not writing in perfect English. Sheesh.
Van Canto's video "If I Die In Battle" just hit 1 million views! Great!
YEAH! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! i think Van Canto is the only A Capella band to write their own songs
Lord Dimpleslip Uhm no. The German a capella band Wise Guys rarely cover any songs and they have released 13 albums till now.
sweet, thats pretty cool i'll have to check them out
Van Canto rock
Akino Wise guys is also not a heavy metal a capella
A capella "guitar solo". Now that's something I never knew was possible.
Funny that trick, You take a typical guitar amp, and the right plugin Mic , you TOO can do the same... With a bit of vocalization tricks, it will give it the "amp" sound.
I think the Greybeards would agree if I said that these guys have mastered the way of the voice.
I would love to wear my dragon born hoodie to one of their shows XD lol
Raziel Milky No it's a cult of monks mastering the voices of ancient dragons in the videogame Skyrim.
Raziel Milky Yeah, mb not a cult, basically a temple on top of the highest mountain in Skyrim, High Hrotgar or something.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how these background fighters are better at maintaining their battle line than almost any other movie army.
Fantasy heavy metal a capella?
If I didn't come across this video, I'd have never believed it was possible. Congratulations guys, you're now one of my favorite bands ever.
DEN Song hab ich am Talenteabend meiner Schule gesungen und den größten Applaus+Standing ovations bekommen!!!
*mega-stolz* *-*
CM Kai Lad doch mal ein Cover hoch ;)
A Capella metal. Never heard that before, but I must say I enjoyed it.
Van Canto indiscutivelmente uma das melhores bandas ja existentes, em sua maioria das musicas somente com bateria e voz...Salve Van Canto
Van Canto. Die Band, mit der ich einschlafe und wenn ich aufwache, ist das erste was ich höre auch Van Canto
"If I die in Battle,
dry dark blood upon my steel.
If I die in Battle,
tell them I stood, and never kneeled."
... goose bumps, I tell you.
"Mom, dad, I know what I want to be when I grow up!"
"And what's that son?"
"A guitar!"
"Oh don't be silly"
the start of this song always makes me happy
I'd like to say that this main vocal is literally the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard and I think like that since I was 14 (i'm 24 now). Thanks bye
Very strong...the male vocal in particular is perfect for me this song as a lead vocal....great song...strong and forceful...
Musik von Van Canto is pure entspannung für mich.
Und wenn ich endlich mal die CD bekomme kann ich die Musik auch endlich beim Training hören.
i never had heard something like that and im just amazed!!!!i adore it!!!and i can say im addicted now to van canto!!!!
my teacher ended his class by blasting this song on a speaker ...best class ever
Melissa What subject?
Reminds me of my networking teacher from high school. He had no issue playing music loud enough to hear half way down the hall. The dude's a badass.
Best teacher ever
Sweet
Great teacher!!
Larping? We are not Larping? We ehm... are shooting a music video!! :D
AgentTripleH Would really love to larp with these guys. Seems like it would be really fun and immersive :D
+weaslyisking I wouldn't really. They seem not to be as careful with the opponent as I am used to (I've been told that we in the Netherlands are way too soft in LARP compared to other countries).

The clip is Perfect, van Canto is perfect, Sly is perfect, the song is perfect... Everything is perfect !
Actors did a great job on this, would still like to see it return with professionals maybe on a larger scale, this song deserves to be a world wide hit!
Never been LARPing, but somehow I feel like having a constant Van Canto backing track would make it even better
This should be the theme song of knights of badassdom,
Yes
If I die for Metal,
tell them I stood, and never kneeled.
If I die for Metal,
my soul will be saved and gone.
\m/
The only non voice is drums. I love this group.
how do you know?
Edit: I was asking about the drums.
+supersasukemaniac if you listen really close to guitars... you can hear the breath breaks
official Van Canto
vancanto.de/en/band/
Tim Crankcase so your telling me that guitar sound, wasn't a guitar😟
yes. it wasn't a quitar. I think he did it with his voice, but it was at max a kazoo
I'm just here to enjoy the music. I happened across it, and stuck with it. I give no thanks to ridiculous 'sources', but I give credit to the band for coming up with such a masterpiece. Good job, Van Canto. Good day.
Played this song when I went for a walk. I ended up wearing a suit of armour and began battling dragons and demonspawn.
Be careful if you ever listen to "Holy Thunderforce" from Rhapsody (of Fire)
ok probably the best comment in here
The Best Song and Band i´ve hear ever,,,, say hallo from SLOVAKIA !!!
0:55, Is that the Imperial Aquila?
The Emperor Protects!
YES THE EMPEROR PROTECTS
@@commanderstorm8874 FOR THE EMPEROR
a friend showed the band to me in early 2013 and I was interested but nor entirely convinced. Until I watched this video. This video made me a fan.
This is my new favorite song!!
I know Van Canto at 2 years, and this music still making me almost cry in the intro. this music is over 9000 in beauty. (I'm sorry if have English errors, my english is poor. xD)
Best part for me is when that female singer starts singing the intro.
TheBranchez I agree with that
+TheBranchez Nope. 3:59
Ikr?
Ich kann gar nicht warten auch damit live zu hören! Stefs E-Gitarre ist wirklich der Hammer!
0:55 IS THAT A DOUBLE AQUILA ON THAT SWORD?!
YOU ARE DOING FANTASY STUFF WHAT IS THAT DOING HERE?!
+D3athChick3n Evidently, the drop pod missed by a lot.
+Paul Wilson Must have gotten in a warp storm and went back through time.......
Alestorm style
+D3athChick3n Also note the Bald Warrior Priest with the hammer, Warhammer Fantasy
+D3athChick3n Larp mate :) just great fun and epic music as well :D
+D3athChick3n Don't miss that one guy gets freaking ressed.

I simultaneously understand both of these feelings
To be honest you have to have a very high IQ to understand Heavy Metal
Matěj Jureček no one is better for listening to metal 😂
Matěj Jureček well it is better than pop music nowadays
Got my ears turned inside out. Kneel and bow to Van Canto !
I still hear Bruce Dickinson's voice everytime I listen to the chorus!
tickets for their concert in april in the Netherlands are waiting in my closet....can't wait to see them live...they are awesome, and this song is their absolute best
WINDS BLOW AS OOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Awesome band!
The lead voices are beautiful, too!
I could listen to them all day. I have...
Sorry to see Sly leave.....
The new guy has a legacy to fill.....
THAT VOCAL SOLO THOUGH
Que genial , mudou todo o conceito de heavy metal !!! 👏👏👏
Wait.. at 3:32 was that really his voice doing the solo? Or just a guy pretending to sing the guitars?
yeah that's his voice, with a distorted mic
When you see them in live, that's really impressive ^^
I am truly amazed about how this video and music fit each other perfectly! Both are masterpieces separately, killer shockwave together - great job once again, Van Canto!
And now everything i fight in skyrim will now Die XD
It does scream Skyrim doesn't it?
It sure does man ! sure does !
madjack821 it screams skyrim and also larpers
:D
This has become one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you! 💖🎸
I absolutely love the first minute of this song. what kind of music style is that minute, before the metal starts?
mhhh... what about an Intro? O_o
i think it's called acappella :) like when you sing without music a song. i hope i explained it that correctly lol
Mhh... but the whole song is acapella... :P Thats the thing behind this band :P
yes u are right, ive read that later on. its an acapella band with only a drum set.
Snugglefluff Explain the guitar?
You know a band is awesome when they can make LARPing look cool and exciting.
250 people died in battle
This song is epic, whoever wants a choir without drums should listen to classical music. Van Canto puts the metal in it.
You know, I kinda want to hear what this song would sound like with actual instruments.
I bet it would sound epic.
I like acapella and drums,it´s just perfect.And nice woman singer,,, slovakia love this band :-)
CoVid-19 HomeOffice, sorry neighbors, but you'll have to wake up now by good music :D
@David Torode How could I have predicted it? 8 months ago, so it was April, the pandemic has one of the highest points reached in my country till a few weeks ago. I never predicted it.

If I die in battle I want you to know there is a clean pair of underwear in my pack, you need change me out. I don't want to lay in my own excrement. Sorry squad, but yeah...shit happens.
What they do ,professional ,knowledge,super tributes in high quality .I can speak about them only in superlatinus

Wanted to say that not enough archers to work on movements.
Although it has a lot since then time has passed, and I was very aware that with aiming everything is okay.
PS gained experience over time.
Kit Ran So you made the artwork or you're just pointing out in the video the archers needed better movements?
Enrique Zacur pointing.
Damn googl translator mocks people speaking different languages.
Just discovered folk metal. Love it! Great vocals.
Serious LARPers needed for the music video. Fucking Excellent.
I am just happy that they got into Napalm. I love half of their artists and Van Canto is no exception!
Epic...
Oh god... this solo!!!! This should be the most fun band when composing songs
Me: "this is gonna suck."
6 minutes later: starts searching for more.
I cant believe this is about to hit 10 years, damn
1:30 The man with hammer looks like a Sigmar priest
Yes you Right
0:55 look familiar?
0:10
Wojszach Wojciech For Sigma, And the Empire!

_That was LARPing. Not acting. Look it up._
That was acting.. but we are larpers who were asked to help out for this music video ^^
i think if they were to make a new Star Wars movie and there was a major clone battle, that it would be epic if they played this song during it!
You mean folk metal in a sci-fi movie?
Imagine something like guardians of the galaxy or Tron soundtrack in Braveheart
Episode 7 comes out this year.....-_-
We've all known this for years now
Daniel Ronen warhammer 40k... just saying
Its another awsome piece from Van Canto.. dont know much about them but i am totally deep in love with the female voice, not her, only her voice
is there a making of this Vid?
l love how this was done.
I was part of the Video, and i saw Stef running around with a Cam, but i dont know what happend to the vid. Maybe if u ask em politely, hell put it online :P
Lol...sorry but ask who?? Also Kelben could you tell about the fan club?? Im frim Australia and dont get to see such awesomeness often
I'd imagine it was rotoscoped.
Jinseo Lim: The Guy that does the awesome Guitarsolo with his mouth.
Youll find the Fanclub at www . rakka-takka . de/.
KelbenArunsun Waitwaitwaitwait....he actually does that with his mouth? I mean I knew they were a capella but I thought that they usually inserted a guitar bit for the solos. Holy sweet Mother that just made this band even more epic than i thought. And I thought they were pretty epic to begin with.
Best a cappella band ever!!!!
Play at 1.25 if you really want to DIE IN BATTLE!
+Jesse Clark TRUE DAT!
+Squishy T Gastrodon I've tried nightcore. Not impressed because it's mostly copy/paste music that has been sped up and re-uploaded. Remixed nightcore is cool but a majority could be made just using the RUclips tempo change feature on the original music track.
It fucking works mate. Fuck this shit, I'm replying from Valhalla. Cheers
I didn't know this band until today. Now I can't stop *_*
This is larpping at it best if you note the arrows are made with safty tips just as in larp
Van Canto is great! Great people & the shooting was awesome.
Kinda has the Dragonforce feel to it.
Brilliant ❤I only heard this today. Standing side by side.😊
162 people left their metal detectors at home.
165 ;(
Yep...ya got me.
I left mine at home and can hear it going off from here
IMHO their new best song, this is just epic! such passion, which is found in all their songs but this one is expectationally special.
dungeons and dragons metal. Awesome
I can't help but like their unique sound when it comes to metal.
Goddamn ranger shooting into melee.
You are amazing ! Can't wait to see you live.
Not enough distortion.
1:16 - 1:23 is one of my most favorite vocalpart in all of music history.
hot ^^
Great band
gigantisch ;-)
milasuperstar chillig ne?
Lovely melody...really good vocals...tight harmonies...great strong song! Thanks..
Interesting concept, but it would be way better with some guitars in there IMO
Good lord that girl can sing. Take that back. Good lord they all can sing! 0_0 most interesting group i've found.
175 boys aren't larpers! XD
Woot! Another LARPER!
This is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen...
when you play to much WoW ... e.e
atm to be infact :D
If i die in battle...
I woud die for metal... 🎶🎸💞
There's also a high chance you would die TO metal as well.
Sorry, I'll show myself out now.
I bought everyone of their albums after listening to this.
van canto is einfach sau geil napalm records muss mehr videos von denen machen
They need far more recognition.
Bring all your passion to each note in my self with your passion! God help yes all!
