Dead By April

CHART-TOPPING SWEDISH ROCKERS RELEASE DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM ON AUGUST 3rd 2009 VIA SPINEFARM RECORDS UK …

DEAD BY APRIL, the modern metallers from Gothenburg in Sweden, will issue their debut self-titled album through Spinefarm Records UK on August 3rd.

Produced by Henrik Edenhead and featuring 13 tracks, including Myspace fave “Angels Of Clarity” and lead single “Losing You” (a No. 1 record in Sweden), the album is an innovative, finely-crafted blend of memorable pop melody and raging hard rock power – the whole package proving sufficiently seductive to achieve a No. 2 position in the Swedish charts.

Says guitarist/vocalist/prime songwriter Pontus Hjelm about the music:-

“It’s the most brutal parts from the metal scene mixed with the poppiest parts from the pop scene, touching on all points inbetween, with a lot of attention given to the lyrics…”

In support of the album, DBA – who have already played a UK headline date at the Barfly club in London – will be returning here on July 31st to feature on a Kerrang! Awards show at the London HMV Forum that also includes Lacuna Coil and Dirty Little Rabbits; then, a couple of days later, DBA will be appearing at the inaugural Sonisphere Festival, set to take place on August 1st & 2nd at Knebworth in Hertfordshire; the Swedes have been confirmed for the newly-announced Bohemia stage, with performance times to be revealed shortly.

DBA will be back in the UK for further dates in the Autumn, backed up by the release of ‘Angels Of Clarity’ as a second single.
