One word about our releaseparties. On these parties our album will be played and the wacken-vid will be viewed. VAN CANTO WILL NOT PLAY ANY GIGS THERE! Even if we wanted we couldn’t be at three places at a time ;-) If you want to see us live, join our Tour of Force, starting end of march. See you there.

Bastian is now an official Meinl endorser.

The first video of our new album is online:

For all those waiting for the release of TRIBE OF FORCE in feb / march we published our video of KINGS OF METAL. Much metal, a giant stage and a lot of fire. That’s how the metal gods like it. Enjoy!

Happy new year to all Van Cantians!

After our TV show yesterday (with quite a strange sound without our vocal-guitarsolo?!) we are happy to focus on our club tour, which leads us through Germany in the first step. We will visit some festivals later this year and try to play gigs in other countries as well. Stay tuned. Thanks!

Our third album will be called TRIBE OF FORCE and it will contain 13 songs. Take a look at the front cover here.

The album will be released on the following dates:

• 24.02.10 – Finland, Spain
• 26.02.10 – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, France, Italy, Sweden
• 01.03.10 – Rest of Europe
• 09.03.10 – USA/Canada

We’ll be starting our tour on March 26th, 2010 (take a look on our tourdates) and in summer 2010 we’ll be playing some major festivals.

2010 will be at least so exciting for us as 2009 has been so far. On January 7th you can see us on German TV station „Pro7“. At „Quatsch Comedy Club“ show, German comedians will see what it’s all about metal a capella.

After a great show at female metal voices festival 7 in Belgium, we recieved the METAL FEMALE VOICES AWARD for the BEST NEWCOMER. Thanks to Phil (the founder of this great festival), to all our fans voting for us and of course to Inga for being female.

After Belgium we did a short trip with 3 more gigs in Switzerland and Germany. Great shows. We have the best fans in the world. Thank you!

We are now finishing recordings and hope to see you all on our gig with DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER (6.11. Schlachthof Wiesbaden).

We’re back in the studio again! After our successful tour we started working on our third studio album. Back in Twilight Hall Studios we are recording together with Charlie Bauerfeind.

The album will contain at least 11 own songs, and perhaps one or two bonus tracks. We will not do as many covers as on the last album, but at least one cover will find its way.

Napalm records will take care of the worldwide release in the beginning of 2010. Our first two albums finally will also be released worldwide then!

As soon as we have more information about songtitles, release and the next tour you will be able to read it here. Until then we’re sending a message from the studio:

Our Hero Tour has ended with a terrific gig at the MCF. Thanks to all our fans for the power you gave us on our shows. For the rest of the summer we’re taking a vacation, but soon we’ll be back with fantastic news! Rakkatakka!

Our gig on Bochum Total is scheduled on sunday, 5th july, 7.30 pm on the “Ringbühne”. Be there, the complete festival is free!

Soon we will be able to post more details about our gig on Manowar’s MagicCircle-Festival (July 18th, Loreley).

We’re playing Metale Female Voices Festival in Belgium on October 18th 2009. We are nominated for the Metale Female Voices Award in categories “best band” and “best newcomer”. Please visit www.metalfemalevoicesfest.be to vote for us. Thanks!
