Trust in Rust is the seventh studio album by German a cappella metal band Van Canto, released on 10 August 2018 via Napalm Records.

[3][5] According to leader and vocal guitarist Stefan Schmidt, after finishing their tour in promotion of Voices of Fire in 2016, the band reflected on their goals and situations.

[6] Instead of auditioning for an unknown new member to replace Schunke, Schmidt preferred to reach out to an old fellow musician, Hagen Hirschmann, whom he knew since before van Canto.

He criticized the cover of "Ride the Sky" for lacking the "rawness" of Walls of Jericho-era Helloween, but said the band did "everything right" with "Hells Bells", seeing it as Hirschmann's top performance on the entire album.

[1] At Laut.de, Yan Vogel expressed his belief that the band is going on a downward trend since their three previous albums and that the addition of a seventh member did little to work on their weak points.
