At Vance: A Cool Metal Band

I was searching for Chopin Etude Op. 10 No 3 in guitar chord, when I read a title saying a metal cover of Chopin composition. I was like, "Huh? Chopin and Metal? What are they going to do with the song?! Please don't mess it up?! Come on.. don't ruin it!" But my worry is for nothing.

They did a good job with it and their arrangement is awesome without missing a note from the original. Make me want to give a big salute to these guys. So who are the people that I keep talking about?


How's that? Cool isn't it?


The group name is At Vance. Formed in 1998 by Oliver Hartmann (ex-Centers) and Olaf Lenk (ex-Velvet Viper) as German power metal/Neo-classical metal band. But later on, Oliver Hartman left the band in 2002 because of personal reasons. Currently, At Vance is consist of 5 members with Mats Leven for vocal, Olaf Lenk and Rainald König on guitar, Sascha Feldmann on bass and Jürgen "Lucky" Lucas on drums.

Too much to talk about this guys and I hate composing a long article, so here I provide links for you to know them more.

They are a lot more to add to the list of their covered songs. They didn't just do covers for others' songs. They did their own too. Thanks to Youtube, you could find them easily. But if you really interested with their music, please support them by buying their albums.

So, enjoy the songs. I got to go back listening to the Chopin cover.
