Van Canto... *sigh*

It's a well known fact that the internet gives even the stupidest, most pointless of websites an audience.  Case in Point.  What's strange is that the internet has segued into mainstream culture, meaning that films, albums, books, and art that would otherwise rightfully remain unknown are now receiving attention and air time.

This is a lowering of the bar across the world.  Remember standards?  Gone.  Unfortunately, ideas that should probably be left unexplored are put before us.  And, strangely, people seem to react to them. 

A few years ago, it was two "lesbian" Russian teens making out in the rain.  Remember that song?  For about six months, it was all the rage.  Then it was a bunch of, *ahem*, "ladies" singing about how your boyfriend lusts after them, while they're busily busting out of their top.  Class act, all the way.

Well, it's time for the new next big thing.  I give you.... Van Canto.

For those who don't click on the link (lucky bastards), allow to me to explain it.  It's a metal band, with five singers and a drummer.  No musicians.  Yeah.  All the music is done A Cappela.  Did I mention how they're all super clean cut and look like black-clad Evangelical youth with soul patches?  This band is more proof that we should have just turned Germany into a sheet of glass way back when, on May 8th, 1945. 

I mean, A Cappela metal?  With guitar sounds made by people?  How much do you need to drink for this to be a good idea?
