Dead By April is a Swedish melodic metalcore band from Gothenburg, formed in 2007 by vocalist Jimmie Strimell and guitarist/songwriter Pontus Hjelm. Their debut single "Losing You" hit number one on the Swedish singles chart in 2009, and the self-titled debut album followed shortly after. The band blends screamed and clean vocals over heavy riffs and melodic, pop-leaning choruses - a formula that has kept them a fixture on European metal stages for nearly two decades.
Dead By April released new singles "Promise Me", "In My Arms", "A Promise" and a new version of "What Can I Say" ahead of their autumn 2026 Finland tour.
Dead By April performed at Kaaos Festival in Vaasa, Finland in July 2026.
Dead By April played RockFest in Turku, Finland in June 2025.
The band released two new singles, "Brain Tissue" and "Naked", in 2025.
Dead By April released their fifth studio album The Affliction on 26 January 2024 as a self-released record, their first album in seven years.
