ReVamp, fronted by Nightwish singer Floor Jansen, are currently on hiatus. In an interview with MetalBlast, Floor reveals the news. An excerpt follows:

Q: Because of your commitments to Nightwish, do you feel that your work will ReVamp will be diminished?

A: “It’s inevitable, and from the day I joined Nightwish it has affected ReVamp. I found it very difficult to do both things at the same time. When I joined Nightwish we were in the middle of the writing process, we had just planned to go to the studio, and we had to postpone the release. In between tours I was recording an album, promoting an album, and then when I started to tour with Nightwish I was also touring with ReVamp, which was just a lot. This is not something that I wish to do, if only because of my own sanity and health, and because I feel that both bands need 100% of your devotion and time, and doing both at the same time just isn’t possible for me.

So now it’s full-on Nightwish time, and there’s no time for ReVamp. Once we’re done with this tour we’ll have to sit together and see where everybody is in their lives, and see if there’s a chance to continue. It would be great, but I can’t tell the future.

Q: So now ReVamp is on hiatus?

A: “It is; it has to be.”
