Floor Jansen must be one of the busiest women in metal at the moment. Not only is she now taking all live duties with Nightwish, she's been working her ass off with her own metal band ReVamp. All this work might get to you and Floor knows this better than anyone. Fortunately enough, her illness hasn't stopped her creative vibes and Floor and her band are now ready to treat us with Wild Card, the second full length album of ReVamp.
This album blows you away instantly, from the very first notes. It sounds amazingly heavy, but with a certain amount of complexity. Where the previous album was quite easy to digest, Wild Card will quite likely take some more time to take in. That being said, Floor proves once more what she's capable of. The clean vocals, the opera parts and even the growling are by her own hand and that is something only she can do, for real!
Just lend your ears to songs such as The Anatomy Of A Nervous Breakdown (a trilogy), Precibus and Amendatory and you'll get the ultimate taste of ReVamp one can have.
With Wild Card, ReVamp don't seem to have been gone for such a long time. The album is refreshing, solid and most of all: it's metal to the bone!
