3	'''[=ReVamp=]''' was a Dutch [[SymphonicMetal Symphonic]] GothicMetal band formed by frontwoman [[Music/AfterForever Floor Jansen]] shortly after her former band dissolved in 2009 that disbanded in 2016. After their self-titled album was recorded, Floor suffered a burnout in 2011 due to exhaustive touring, vocal teaching and other duties which took some time to recover from. Shortly after she recovered, she was asked by Music/{{Nightwish\|Band}} to finish the Imaginaerum World Tour after Anette Olzon left in September 2012, which delayed the release and tours for Revamp's second album, ''Wild Card'', from spring 2013 to fall the same year.

5	On September 29, 2016, a post was made to the group's official Facebook page informing fans that they had disbanded. The post read "We are sad to inform you that [=ReVamp=] has officially stopped. After two great albums it is unfortunately not possible for the founding front lady Floor Jansen to have a band next to Nightwish. Projects perhaps, but a band deserves a 100% devotion which is impossible to deliver to two bands at the same time." Jansen added: "I am proud of the 2 albums we made together! [=ReVamp=] has such talented and great musicians that I wouldn’t want them to wait any longer for me to find the time and the passion it needs to make another album. I also don’t want to give fans false hope. [=ReVamp=] lived a short and bumpy but exciting life but now it’s time for new bands and projects to start. I thank everyone involved for the love and dedication!"

22	-----
23	!Two tropes, a wild card, a dangerous impulse.
24	* AndIMustScream: "In Sickness 'til Death Do Us Part: Disgraced" is about a comatose patient lamenting their state and wishing just to die.
25	* AndShowItToYou: The cover art for ''Wild Card'' has Floor doing this with a SlasherSmile on her face. Whether it's supposed to be someone else's heart or ''her own'', however, could be up for debate.
26	* BSODSong: ''Wild Card'' is basically an album full of these.
27	* ConceptAlbum: ''Wild Card'' revolves around SanitySlippage and how to get back on track again.
28	* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Wild Card'' [[RuleOfThree (again)]] is certainly this to the self-titled.
29	* GothicMetal: The SelfTitledAlbum. ''Wild Card'' is this but with loads of gut-punching [[ProgressiveMetal progressive]], [[PowerMetal power]], and MelodicDeathMetal elements mixed in.
30	* IAmTheBand: Floor.
31	* IncrediblyLongNote: Right after an operatic section in "The Anatomy of a Nervous Breakdown: The Limbic System" Floor belts a D#5 for 10 seconds straight.
32	* LadyInRed: Floor's CostumePorn in the ''Wild Card'' [[http://hollywoodmetal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Revamp-Wild-Card.jpg cover]]. She even wore [[https://i0.wp.com/ampsandgreenscreens.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/DSC3344.jpg the same dress]] in gigs!
33	* MetalScream: Floor, of all people, does one on "Here's My Hell". Becomes more frequent to the point of SopranoAndGravel in ''Wild Card''.
34	* PrecisionFStrike: In "In Sickness 'til Death Do Us Part: Disdain", Floor gives us this gem:
35	--> ''Being useless is the worst, I can't do shit!''
36	* SanitySlippageSong: "The Anatomy of a Nervous Breakdown" trilogy is this ''in spades''.
37	* SelfTitledAlbum
38	* SopranoAndGravel:
39	** In ''Wild Card'', Floor provides the gravel to her own soprano for most of the songs! Death grunts and more are performed by her throughout most of the album in addition to the vocal styles she has already used. The best example would be in the song "Precibus" where the verses are sung in a operatic manner, the chorus her normal voice and the bridge the growls.
40	** In straighter cases of this trope, George Oosthoek in "Here's My Hell", [[Music/AfterForever Mark]] [[Music/{{Epica}} Jansen]] in "Misery's No Crime" and Music/DevinTownsend in "The Anatomy of a Nervous Breakdown: Neurasthenia".
41	* SpecialGuest: There's quite a bit in both albums.
