Russell Allen, lead vocalist for the progressive power metal band SYMPHONY X, makes a guest appearance on the debut album by REVAMP, former AFTER FOREVER singer Floor Jansen’s new band. ReVamp's self-titled new album will be released in North America on July 27th.

States Allen: “I first met Floor on the Star One tour. I was immediately enchanted by her voice and her presence. I knew she was going to be successful in music if she desired to be and she has been… and continues to be. Floor asked me to sing the male lead on ‘Sweet Curse’. I heard the song and loved it. The substance of the lyrics are reflected in the music and that is what moved me to perform the song, which speaks to me of lost love but a love that has never died. I recorded my vocal tracks in my home studio and added a few twists here and there, but the origins of my parts are Floor’s. She is a talented writer and performer and this song was great for us to do together. I wish all the best for her and ReVamp.”

States Jansen on the collaboration: “ReVamp is heavier and more diverse than After Forever. Less orchestral, more riff-based. More vocal variety, from raw screams to opera, back to soft and light, off to rock or musical-like singing. Diversity is very important to me. I use my voice in as many ways as possible, but it’s still my voice. To combine my voice with others keeps the sound for interesting. Russell Allen brings power and emotion to the song ‘Sweet Curse’. Our voices together sound great, as we already knew from the past. This song became a great duet!”

Also performing guest vocals on ReVamp is Björn “Speed” Strid from SOILWORK and George Oosthoek from ORPHANAGE & PLEURISY.
