ANGUS McSIX Share New Single & Video "Dig Down" Featuring Van Canto

ANGUS McSIX teams up with Van Canto for the new single, "Dig Down", an out-of-the-box harbinger from their sophomore album, Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye, out March 13, 2026 via Napalm Records. Mixing their epicness with the German acappella troupe's signature style, the power metal supergroup crafts an undeniably entertaining and inciting hymn. Led by their new hero, Adam McSix, the band is ready to face the perils of the universe on the follow-up to their chart-storming debut, Angus McSix and the Sword of Power, which reached #10 in Germany, #16 in Switzerland, and #26 in Austria, and with its lead single amassing over three million Spotify streams. Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye is an exciting passing of the torch, and "Dig Down" invites you to pick up a sword!

ANGUS McSIX on "Dig Down" (feat. Van Canto): 
"Our three heroes Adam McSix, Orz Zero, and The Dwarf are taking a break in a cave in the mountain "Ironpick Peak" when Adam suddenly notices that The Dwarf might have set her eyes on the Orc. At least, that's what he assumes. Throughout the song, he makes fun of The Dwarf. Finally, she’s had enough and quickly orders barbarians from "Only Heroes" to teach Adam a lesson. Unfortunately, she misspells the order and the bards of Van Canto arrive. They initially reprimand Adam for bullying, which is not appropriate for a prince, but then quickly realize that the song is "really catchy" and end up joining in..."

ANGUS MCSIX rise from the aftermath of previous historic battles with Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye, out March 13, 2026 via Napalm Records. Following the chart-storming debut (Angus McSix and the Sword of Powerinstantly rose to the top 10 of the German Album charts in 2023), Angus’ brother, Adam McSix (Sam Nyman, Manimal), now steps forth as the main character and lead singer. Also adding the brute force of new guitarist, The Dwarf (Jasmin Pabst) besides guitar Amazon Thalestris (Thalia Belazecca, Primal Fear), the power metal supergroup is thrilled for new adventures, one being to save the legendary hero Angus from his cruel fate of being frozen in an ice block prison in which his nemesis, the Archdemon Seebulon (Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann, Orden Ogan), trapped him. ANGUS McSIX embark on their absurd journey wielding the power of metal and a tongue-in-cheek attitude as their mighty weapons!

Pre-Order Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye — NOW!

The eleven tracks of Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye feature the band’s one-of-a-kind storytelling, proving even more epic, absurd, and magnificent than ever. Previously released "6666" still features their now-imprisoned frontman Angus McSix (Thomas Winkler) on vocals, passing the torch to Adam McSix and placing nothing less than the fate of the universe on his shoulders. "The Fire Of Yore" bridges the gap between Manowar, Modern Talking, and Electric Callboy and fully opens up the new chapter – Angus, after all, possesses no memory of his previous adventures, leaving all the more room for more lore to be introduced through Adam! ANGUS McSIX gain further help on their quest from a cappella group Van Canto on "Dig Down" and Finnish Turmion Kätilöt on "Techno Men". "Ork Zero", referencing their monstrous drummer (Gerit Lamm, ex-Xandria), and "Starlight Stronghold" are electrifying disco bangers, while "Let The Search Begin" – following instrumental break "Aetheriyja" – is another true metal hymn. "The Power Of Metal" adds Freedom Call to the party before the mighty heroes take their final stand in "Into Battle".

Charmingly quizzical and undeniably entertaining, Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye crafts one catchy anthem after another. With rich storytelling and over-the-top pathos, ANGUS McSIX invite you to pick up a sword and fight side by side with them against ancient powers to fulfill Adam’s destiny!

VAN CANTO Drops New Official Video for “Turn Back Time”, Cut from 2021 Studio Album, “To The Power Of Eight”

Get Your Copy of the Latest Record, To The Power Of Eight, NOW!

New Live Dates for 2022 Announced!

This past summer, Germany's most thundering voices VAN CANTO set free their eighth studio album, To The Power Of Eight, to spread their unique soundscapes as the world's most exciting acapella metal masters. Now, the energizing powerhouse is ready to impact the new year with their unique Rakataka-style by unveiling a brand new atmospheric music video for “Turn Back Time”, cut from their latest full-length. The harmonizing song appeals to the calmer side of the multifaceted outfit and showcases the wide range of creativity that VAN CANTO stands for since releasing their first record, A Storm To Come, in 2006.

VAN CANTO on “Turn Back Time”:

“'Turn back Time' is a ballad that has quite a history behind it. I wrote it together with Bastian back in 1999 for our former band Jester's Funeral. At that time, the instrumentation was more like 'Bard's Song', with acoustic guitars and a lead singer. We never finished the songwriting on this one, and over 20 years later we came across it again while listening through old demos.

Since the lyrics are about what would happen if you could turn back time (but maybe you don't even want to), we thought it would fit quite well that a composition from our teenage years would finally see the light of day on the eighth album of a seasoned band. Listening to the song now, you'd think it had always been written for VAN CANTO and with eight singers in mind.”

German acapella metal at its best!

To The Power Of Eight marks another milestone in the band's impressive career and presents VAN CANTO as a coherent entity stronger than ever! Starting out with their first full-length in 2006, the unstoppable force set the stage for their very own genre and never failed in surprising their fans and beyond throughout time, while showcasing that metal can be heavy as hell without any riffage. With their previous full length, Trust in Rust (2018), the German rarity reworked its lineup, consisting of seven members since then. For To The Power Of Eight, the unit once again joined forces with Philip Dennis “Sly” Schunke, who had been the lead singer on their first six studio records. Sly joins lead vocalists Inga Scharf and Hagen Hirschmann on all twelve flawless tracks as third vocalist and special guest. It’s clear that this peerless piece of music was written with three voices in mind: To The Power Of Eight embodies a special sense of common bond and presents VAN CANTO in undeniable peak form!

From their own original speed driven tracks, like flaring “Faith Focus Finish”, raise-your-fist animated “Heads Up High” or mid-tempo, heart-warming “Turn Back Time”, to anthemic heavy metal covers such as Amon Amarth’s “Raise Your Horns”, Iron Maiden’s “Run To The Hills” or AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”, VAN CANTO always manages to easily serve their own unique take with every output. On the one hand, To The Power Of Eight reflects a well experienced collective that has gathered several top 50 entries on the German album charts and played numerous shows around the globe and festivals like 70k Tons Of Metal, Wacken and Masters of Rock. But at the same time, it presents these energetic visionaries of acapella metal, who are far from resting on what they’ve achieved so far.

“VAN CANTO can hold their own with the biggest names in metal.”

(Powerplay, UK)

Germany's most thundering voices VAN CANTO recently set free their eighth studio album, To The Power Of Eight. Now the world's most exciting acapella metal masters follow up directly and release the snappy anthem, "Dead By The Night", along with a rousing and atmospheric lyric video.

VAN CANTO on “Dead By The Night”:

"After the rather soundtrack-like intro 'To the Power of Eight', 'Dead by the Night' is the actual opener of the album. We wanted to show everything that is possible with three lead singers right at the beginning. The result is an uptempo power metal song with Rakkatakka-riffs, big melodies and a huge background choir. All this comes along with a very positive message that points out how important it is to enjoy the moment. In the end, we all can be dead by tomorrow (or by the night!)."

VAN CANTO on the new album:

“Being able to present an album after 15 years of band history, where three lead singers share the microphone hand in hand, makes us incredibly proud. Due to the pandemic situation we had a lot of time to work on To The Power Of Eight and put all our heart and soul into the compositions, the arrangements and the production. Originally we planned to have Sly as guest vocalist for one song – but it turned out to be twelve in total in the end. If someone would ask for one record to present VAN CANTO the most suitable way, we would choose To The Power Of Eight.”

The world's most exciting acapella metal masters VAN CANTO return with their energetic and unique Rakkatakka-power. The inimitable new offering, To The Power Of Eight will be released this Friday, June 4th! To stir the anticipation even more, those thundering voices are smashing their new single, “Faith Focus Finish“ today. The official music video references the album's cover artwork while also following the visual approach of the previous singles, hammering cover-version “Raise Your Horns”, originally by Swedish Vikings Amon Amarth and powerhouse “Falling Down."

VAN CANTO are well-known for their catchy tunes and sophisticated interpretations of various scene classics and follow their path with record number eight as well, as the album triumphs with four red-hot cover versions and eight own, rousing band anthems!

Stefan Schmidt on “Faith Focus Finish“:

"Faith Focus Finish' is all about the "flow" you feel when you're so deep into something, that you totally forget about space and time. This can happen while listening to music, making music, or even playing sports, which is where the phrase 'Faith Focus Finish' actually comes from. We have adopted this feeling and the result is a composition in which the parts merge seamlessly into each other. Especially the drums and the rhythm section permanently drive the song forward. Inga gave all her power here and is framed and carried by the two male lead voices. Just what you need to finally be able to pull a ship into a harbour..."

The world's most exciting acapella metal masters VAN CANTO return with their energetic and unique Rakkatakka-power and are set to release their highly anticipated, inimitable new offering, To The Power Of Eight, on June 4, 2021 via Napalm Records. VAN CANTO are well-known for their catchy tunes and sophisticated interpretations of various scene classics and follow their path with record number eight as well, as the album triumphs with four red-hot cover versions and eight own, rousing band anthems!

Today those thundering voices unleash their very own and remarkable take on hammering “Raise Your Horns” by Swedish Vikings Amon Amarth. VAN CANTO took the well-known favorite and turned it into their own unique version, featuring band trademarks without losing sight of the actual core of the track. Horns up!

VAN CANTO on the song:

“'Raise Your Horns' is a very special cover for us. For the first time VAN CANTO tackled a song where the lead vocals are consistently in the lowest growl register. Thanks to the constellation of having three lead singers, Hagen could spread out in the lead, while Inga can set high, almost orchestral accents and Sly leads the choir together with Jan. For the first time in a while it's also a song where a "real" riff sets the direction, so that the Rakkatakka and bass singers are extremely busy as well. A great composition by Amon Amarth, that we gladly pay homage to.”

The world's most exciting acapella metal masters VAN CANTO return with their energetic and unique Rakkatakka-power and are set to release their highly anticipated, eighth inimitable offering, To The Power Of Eight, on June 4, 2021 via Napalm Records.

Since 2006, VAN CANTO have delivered pure vocal power to the metal world and prove that heaviness does not necessarily need riffs and bass lines. “Falling Down” takes off at full speed as a stomping, heroic power metal anthem that leaves no muscle inactive. Both male and female vocals are given space to shine, but also harmonize together as one entity.

VAN CANTO on “Falling Down“:

"'Falling Down' is a VAN CANTO powerhouse, a composition with powerful vocal riffing, endless harmonies and a dramatic arrangement. The lyrics describe the timeless moment of creativity when you feel a melody entering your brain to then materialize into music.

We put our focus on all the details in the vocal arrangements, tying together Sly's heroic lead voice together with Hagen's rough power and Inga's epic smoothness like an eight-knot. 'Falling Down' combines VAN CANTO's trademarks and brings them to life by a combination of a rock'n'roll stage environment, on- and off-stage visuals and a lot of Power of Eight and more, thanks to all the people involved! It is inspired by all work Robert Naumann has done in all previous videos of VAN CANTO. Robs, we love you and we miss you."
