Dan-Elias Brevig is a wonder. He has taken “The Violation”, by those Italian maestros of utterly bombastic death metal, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and created a completely a cappela cover of the song in a YouTube video. And by “a capella”, I mean that he has not only recorded the growls and falsetto cleans from the song, he has also used his voice to mimic the song’s instrumental arrangements.
Think about the original for a moment, and ponder what this would entail. After you’ve stopped shaking your head and going “No Way!”, move past the jump and see/hear for yourselves. Mr. Brevig calls it a parody, but it’s pretty damned impressive.
(Dan-Elias Brevig is from the vicinity of Oslo, Norway; he has a band named Immetic (whose music may be found here); and his Facebook page is at this location. To give you another example of his pipes in action, I’ve included an Immetic song after the video; it’s partially an exception to our rule, but I’m digging it — and it sort of helps explain his affinity for Fleshgod Apocalypse.)

Van Canto goes death metal? Who would have thought of it?
If this was on Glee, I might actually watch Glee.
And it isn’t, so don’t. If it were, the show wouldn’t be named Glee. Maybe “Growl”, or “Gutted”.
coolest thing ive seen all day
giving van canto a run for their money, definitely.
wow
This guy should join Tom Thum, dokaka and van Canto for one hell of an a cappella/beatbox showdown.
