Tribe of Force is the third album by German a capella metal band Van Canto, released in March 2010. It is the band's first release with Napalm Records.

The track listing features 13 tracks, two of them being covers ("Master of Puppets" by Metallica and "Rebellion" by Grave Digger), and three of them featuring guest artists: Victor Smolski (Rage) on "One to Ten", Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) on "Hearted", and Chris Boltendahl (Grave Digger) on "Rebellion".

Two of this album's songs ("Water, Fire, Heaven, Earth" & "Hearted") have been, among Within Temptation's "Our Farewell", the inspiration for "Forevermore", a song by the Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, featuring the mildly-autistic Ruurd Woltring. The recording of this song was made possible thanks to the Dutch TV show Niks te gek! ("Nothing too crazy"), in which mentally disabled people get their wishes granted.
