The first chapter Allen-Lande's collaboration, “The Battle” was unleashed on September 19th 2005 with unanimous acclaim from fans and critics alike.
The second chapter aptly titled “The Revenge” was unleashed on May 11th 2007, with cover art specifically designed for this project by Rodney Matthews (DIAMOND HEAD, MAGNUM, ASIA etc.), once again songs were written by guitar sensation Magnus Karlsson (STARBREAKER, Last Tribe).
Heavier and with a tighter production, thanks to the involvement of Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, ANGRA, PLACE VENDOME) at the mix, this album will excite the many fans who loved the first chapter and everyone who declares themselves fan of quality Hard Rock or Metal.
Many websites and magazines named it “Record of the Year”. It’s success made it one of the most popular releases ever in Melodic Heavy Metal, thanks to beautiful, sweeping piano and keyboards, heavy guitar riffs, virtuoso guitar solos, hooky choruses and the vocal talents of two of the finest Heavy Metal vocalists around.
Russell Allen is the singer of the American Progressive Metal band Symphony X, who have released seven studio albums and one live record so far. More than once Symphony X received accolades such as “Best Progressive Power Metal Band Worldwide” or awards for the “Best Progressive Metal Album of the Year”. Russell is most well-known for his very melodic, loud singing style and drawn out vocal lines, as well as his large vocal range. Allen has worked with Arjen Anthony Lucassen on various occasions: originally he sang the song "Dawn of a Million Souls" on Ayreon's 2000 album Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator (which also featured a guitar solo by Michael Romeo), and in 2002 he became one of the lead vocalists for Lucassen's project Star One.
Highly rated ex-Masterplan vocalist Jorn Lande has a vocal capability that is world class, distinctive, rich and spanning a large range. He is in high demand and has appeared as guest or sung for such bands as MILLENIUM, ARK, THE SNAKES and many others.

The Revenge
Allen-Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to feel it in your bones
Want you to feel all of my pain
See all the demons
in the world that you created
I want you to live one of my days
Want you to dream one of my dreams
[Chorus:]
I can remember now
everything you ever said to me
I can recall the pain
And now the time has come
I can remember now
All the words that made me disappear
I can recall the pain
And now the time has come
For my revenge
Do you believe I will forget
Do you think that I won´t see
All the lies that you are hiding behind
Now is your turn to live in fear
Now is your turn to hide in the dark
The time has come for you to feel what I feel
[Chorus x2]

I want you to feel it in your bones
I want you to deeply feel the pain that you have caused me
Want you to feel all of my pain
I want you to experience all the suffering that I have gone through
See all the demons in the world that you created
Realize the destruction you have caused and the horrible people and situations you have brought into existence
I want you to live one of my days
I want you to go through one of the same horrific experiences that I have gone through
Want you to dream one of my dreams
I want you to experience the nightmares and trauma that haunt me
Time has come for you to feel what I feel
It's finally time for you to empathize with the pain that you have caused me
I can remember now everything you ever said to me
I still have vivid memories of all the hurtful words and actions you inflicted upon me
I can recall the pain
I can still feel the physical and emotional agony that you put me through
And now the time has come
The moment of reckoning has finally arrived
All the words that made me disappear
Your cruel words and actions made me feel like I wasn't even a person anymore
For my revenge
I am seeking revenge for the wrongs that you have done to me
Do you believe I will forget
Do you really think that I will just forgive and forget all the harm you caused me?
Do you think that I won´t see
Do you think that I will be blind to the truth of what you have done to me?
All the lies that you are hiding behind
I know that you are hiding behind falsehoods and half-truths, and I won't let you get away with it
Now is your turn to live in fear
It's your turn to feel scared and powerless as I once did
Now is your turn to hide in the dark
It's your turn to feel shame and try to conceal your true character
For my revenge
My need for revenge against you is all-consuming
