For DBA, it’s about breaking rules and not giving a crap about what others think the music should be – right from the start the only thing that has mattered is focus and feeling! Ambition, creativity and musicianship are epitomes for DEAD BY APRIL with each member of the band devoting every moment to the music and the passion and unity essential to the band’s concept. This pristine devotion and ambition stretches beyond the small, dark cellars of the underground stages where their art was nurtured. DEAD BY APRIL’s aim is to bring their musical vision and dream to the entire world.
“This band nailed it. With two excellent singers fronting the band, and back up musicians who don’t miss a beat, this band is one of the finest in their genre. Stoffe is a great hardcore vocalist nailing the songs perfectly. Their intense live performances and the quality of their compositions is what makes this band stand out.” Alt Music Review
“If you’re a fan of modern and up and coming talent, then I highly suggest you check out this release. This album is in my top ten albums of the year… Another gem.” We Love Metal
