The timing of this was nice: the day before I went to see Sabaton in Vancouver, I came across this new video by German a capella metal band Van Canto. It features Sabaton singer Joakim Broden. You'd think I'd have used this tiny piece of news as a conversation piece when I actually met Joakim at the Sabaton merch table after the band's set, but no, I acted like a tongue-tied teenaged twit instead. More on all that later, though...
I've always liked Van Canto, but they seem to get a lot of haters. I think they are innovative, creative, and excellent. I wasn't as stoked about their last album because I thought the female vocals were not playing as big a role as they had in previous releases, but I have yet to get hold of their current CD.
I like this version of Sabaton's "Primo Victoria" a lot. Here is the original.
