OmegaChaos 1 Posted November 10, 2010 Dead By April is a Pop Metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The band released a demo in 2007 and another in 2008, and they both leaked out to several peer-to-peer-sites. During this time they also played in local venues around Gothenburg. The demo also spawned one radio single, Falling Behind. In 2008, the band received two awards, both for Best Newcomer, on “Swedish Pop Awards?? and “Bandit Rock Awards?? Really great band...a bit poppish for some..but for me very catchy and enjoyable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NWdRchzEzg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buster 3 Posted November 15, 2010 i actually enjoyed them pretty much, it's been a while since i listened to them... who knows if i still dig their album? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minre 13 Posted January 23, 2011 they opened for versailles/matenrou opera in stockholm when they were there, so I heard them then. [of course I had already liked them before, but still] 'new' release is out/leaked. that is to say, a remix album of sorts. Trapped (2010 Mix) Angels Of Clarity (2010 Mix) Stronger (2010 Mix) My Saviour Leaves Falling Love Like Blood Angels Of Clarity (Shawn 'Clown' Crahan 'Slipknot' Remix) Losing You (2010 Acoustic Version) Promise Me (2010 Acoustic Version) More Than Yesterday (Demo Version) I honestly can't stand this to the original, but that wasn't really the point, huh. I can't wait for their next album, as long as it's as good as their first. The only real news is that they lost both their guitarists, and the songwriter of the two returned to be a tour member and of course songwriter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaChaos 1 Posted January 25, 2011 They really opened for Versailles/Matenrou Opera?...Wow that,s really a suprise.In this remix album only 1 song is new....but it is epic .....but yeah I look forward to new album as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minre 13 Posted January 29, 2011 Though I do like Love Bike Blood, that is a cover song by some other band, unless you meant the Demo song, which I liked as well. haha. But yea, their opening resulted [not that I understand if that was really the reason] in Matenrou Opera having a RAPED set list. Oh well. In either case, it's not like any visual bands actually come to Sweden anymore, heh. I kind of do hope that they change it up a little, because you can only do so much with their style. [Honestly, there's a little to how much cliche lyrics I can stomach.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaChaos 1 Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah I meant new demo song,More Than Yesterday.Well,I hope they do less ballads this time and do more screams...because Jimmie,s screaming is the best I have ever heard. and yeah,their lyrics are cheesy as hell.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted February 5, 2011 I got their first demo for free when I bought clothes in Sweden some years ago lol :I They were having a gig the same day, I think that's why. Still got the CD lol. But I don't like it~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted April 23, 2011 Thought they were pretty cool, but for some reason I don't feel like listening to them anymore, it just kinda bores me :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted April 23, 2011 Pop metal? Like ADTR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaChaos 1 Posted May 1, 2011 Pop metal? Like ADTR? not really,ADTR fuses Pop punk and very cheesy Metalcore/Hardcore...but Dead by April fuses Pop and Metalcore with Melodic death influence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minre 13 Posted July 19, 2011 new album in september. I did like their single, although I couldn't stand two-faced... what a stupid song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaChaos 1 Posted July 19, 2011 Imo Two Faced was actually very good...pretty heavy song for them also.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted July 19, 2011 I would pretty much drop everything to be with Jimmie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minre 13 Posted July 19, 2011 Imo Two Faced was actually very good...pretty heavy song for them also.. For some reason, the lyrics just IRRITATES me beyond reason. I mean, it's not like their lyrics were ever any good, but there was something about it :/. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted July 22, 2011 I was expecting some gothenburg metal type sound but they don't really have a mid point between the pop and metal and seem to combine the broader end of those two genres. They seem interesting so I'll be checking some of their stuff out. Though they are quite poppy at times, almost too much, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
