The record will be entitled »Wild Card« - a title
that, according to singer Floor Jansen, came
about as follows: "This album became the most
aggressive album I've ever made and in the
lyrics I tell a lot about my personal experiences
of the last years. This resulted into some heavy
stories and some openhearted 'screams' I
needed out of my system. It matches the violence
of the music in a great way, we wrote as
a great team! But not one sentence or word can
really cover the contents of this album. Its variety
in all its ingredients makes it almost impossible.
A wild card is an unpredictable and
unforeseeable factor. You don't know what you're getting, or when. That's this album! It's 100% ReVamp
and it's your wild card!"
A concept that's taken literally in the album artwork, as the power woman explains: "I
am the queen of hearts on it, who is a wild card herself. You see a 'nice' and a 'nasty'
queen. The nasty one has a cracked lip, cuts in her face and a bleeding heart in her hand.
The other queen looks nice even though queens of hearts never truly are... Again, what
is it you're going to get? In that respect it visualizes the music, from aggressive and nasty
to melodic and pretty. This theme has been important to me personally throughout my
career and also in this album I played with it to the max. I used my voice in so many different
ways now! The music invited me to do this, I am super proud of the amazing guitar
riffs, the versatile and groovy but mega tight drums and the keyboard sounds and
arrangements that bring something new to the table. We hope you like our wild card!"
