ReVamp (Floor Jansen)

Singer Floor Jansen needs no further introduction after 12 years of loyal service with After Forever. After the break of this band she knew she wanted to continue making metal!!! To accomplish this she joined forces with two additional songwriters to first compose, then record an album. The live band was formed after completion!


The first composer to join this new collaboration was soon found in Waldemar Sorychta (Grip Inc, Enemy Of The Sun, ao). The second composer is After Forever colleague Joost van den Broek. The ReVamp sound has become a unique blend of the personal style we recognize from these musicians.

Floor’s voice is already known for its wide range and variety. In ReVamp she shows the world she can do even more! From opera to raw screams; from rock to a light and almost whispered sound. She knows how to ‘master the cords’ and takes you along with her on a wild ride throughout the album!

The music is heavier than some of you might expect. Bombastic; but with heavy riffing. Complex and pounding drums mixed with melancholic strings. Crazy synth-sounds mixed with a beautiful choir. A wall of sound, yet transparent and versatile. And to finish this cake with a fine icing 3 special guests made this album extra special! Russell Allen (Symphony X) sings a beautiful duet with Floor. The fact their voices mix perfect together was proven before and on the song Sweet Curse they show ones again they are a magical duo.


Björn ‘Speed’ Strid (Soilwork) brings in power on a different level on the song ‘Disdain’. His raw screams make this song the heaviest on the album and create a nice ‘battle of the titans’ with Floor. On Here’s My Hell you’ll hear Dutch master grunter George Oosthoek (ex-Orphanage). The variety of these guests make the album extra interesting from the first note off to very last!

The word revamp literally means: to renovate, redo or revise. For Floor it got the symbolic meaning that this band puts new energy into her career as a singer, a next step but at the same time a continuation of her dream. The word ‘vamp’ indicates, with a wink, ‘woman’. No vampires or slutty types, just a strong lady in charge of her passion.

The live band is now rehearsing and will start kicking ass on stage in May already. Floor is taking 5 ‘new’ talents with her:


Matthias Landes (Dark Fortress) on drums, Jaap Melman (ex-Dreadlock Pussy, Pendejo) on bass, Jord Otto (The Blackest Grey) on guitar, Arjan Rijnen (Pendejo) on guitar and Ruben Wijga (Insomnia) on keyboard. Preparations for the shows are being done as we speak and the south of The Netherlands isn’t such a quit county anymore now ‘ReVamp’ is trying out some tunes every Saturday and Sunday.


For now there are shows booked only in The Netherlands but ReVamp will soon cross the Dutch border and conquer Europe and beyond!!!

On the 4th of June the first ReVamp album will be released by Nuclear Blast.

The self-titled album has 13 tracks and presents a new dimension in the female fronted metalscene.

Whispers Of Fate

Whispers Of Fate is a musical project formed by Betty and Kaos; it has always existed as a strong devotion to music and nature. The musical composition begins in early 2007 and after many attempts to form a proper band the duo starts working on the first full-length album. In 2009 Alex joins the project as drummer, and Stev as keyboard player. In 2010 the first album called "Embrace My Winter" is born.

The Dark Power

Originally formed under the moniker Unseen, the dynamic four piece around Polish guitar maestro Mauser (who is also playing in Vader, one of Poland’s renowned metal bands) finally decided that something incorporating day and night, light and darkness would suit them best. A label for their music which is melancholic and a little dark at times, yet catchy at the same time. Something that would put a name to the bitter-sweet twist of Aya’s highly melodic vocals topping the driving force of the underlying guitar riffs. This unique mix easily makes UnSun’s debut album “The End Of Life” one of the most promising releases of the year.

Consolidated by the sheer passion to play intense music, Mauser and Aya knew upon their first rehearsals that it was their destiny to create music together. Right from this supernova it was clear that UnSun was not supposed to be just another side-project for Mauser, but his personal way of exploring new music. Thus, he and Aya started looking for other exceptional musicians to make UnSun a full-time band. Very soon Vaaver from Indukti and Heinrich, who also plays bass in Vesania, teamed up with Mauser and Aya to form the high profile band they are today.

During ice cold winter days at the end of 2006 they entered the studio to record their first demo “Whispers”. It didn’t take long until UnSun caught the attention of various labels throughout Europe and in 2007 they finally signed a deal with Mystic Production in their native Poland. The ink hadn’t fully dried yet when Mauser and Aya already started writing the first songs for what should become their debut-album “The End Of Life”, which was recorded in Poland in Studio-X in the beginning of 2008 and will see its European release on September 22nd with UnSun’s new, world-wide partner Century Media Records.

DeadLock

DEADLOCK's "Manifesto" brilliantly builds upon their signature paths of guitar mastery and beautifully sung passages of bliss intertwined with agonizing growls of defeat to expand on the band's highly diverse metallic palette by adding more expansive elements to their extreme yet progressive-metal sound. On one hand, it is traditional and technically experienced, just like their label-debut "Earth.Revolt" and on the other hand it is as catchy and listenable as their second full length "Wolves." Within its melancholy and dark undertones of picking out mankind's gorging and exploitation of animals as a conceptual storyline, there is still a positive outlook to the world that was not been present in past recordings. Being their third full length album for LIFEFORCE RECORDS, DEADLOCK's intensive and emotional "Manifesto" is technically challenging and just as excellent if not more so than their previous efforts. While offering innovative orchestral arrangements as well as melodic and technical lead guitar-assaults, the German metallers find virtuous keyboards/electronics and Sabine Wenigers beautiful vocals as essential contributions to their specific sound. "Manifesto" convinces with flawless playing and a stellar production done by guitar player Sebastian Reichl, while Jacob Hansen (Mercenary, Volbeat, Heaven Shall Burn) took care of mixing/mastering. With "Manifesto", DEADLOCK is out to make a DIFFERENCE!

Being around since 1997, DEADLOCK evolved slowly but consistently. After finding a solid line-up, the band started to include clean female vocals and atmospheric keyboards to their songs. Vocalist and keyboard-player Sabine Weniger became a full time member of the group right after the release of the LIFEFORCE-debut "Earth.Revolt" in 2005. Her impact led to a more subtile and DIFFERENT edge to the sound that DEADLOCK is known for today. "Wolves" saw the sextet earning euphoric reactions by both - listeners and press - that will increase with 2008's "Manifesto".
