I've met these guys a few times when I lived in Gothenburg and they're honestly the most down to earth people. Managed to sit with them in their studio a few times too. The drummer does have what you'd call a "robotic eye". He has a fake one he can remove that has different coloured lights for live shows, which is fucking amazing. Their music is 90% heavily infused with synths and breakdowns like that. Their screaming vocalists have been top notch. I'd listen to "Collapsing" & "Heartbeat Failing" for their later sound, but if you want to check out some of their older stuff, I'd recommend "More Than Yesterday", "As A Butterfly", "I Can't Breathe", "Warrior" & "Can You See The Red" They're fucking stunning.

@@nathandjohnny It's awesome to meet a band or band member out in public, it's incredible to see a band live but seeing them in action making a song is something else. Been a fan of them for easily 10 years, probably more. I understand entirely that this kind of metal isn't for everyone, too, because it is very "Pop Metal". People in Sweden described them as the "Swedish Metal Backstreet Boys", which I just found hilarious. Anything from their Stronger or Incomparable release are heavier for sure, but there's always some synths around their tracks.

The scream vocalist is originally from another band called dEMOTIONAL. He joined Dead by April last year after the original scream/clean vocalist was kicked out for a second time due to personal issues. They’re extremely underrated. They play a similar style, but less poppy. I highly recommend checking out their songs ‘Cornered’ and ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’. For more Dead by April, I recommend checking out 'Beautiful Nightmare', 'Dreaming', and 'Lost'.

Dead By April have had 2 previous Unclean vocalists. So this new album I belive has their 3rd new vocalist. Their older stuff is very similar with the synth driven sound but might be slightly more heavier on the Unclean vocals. This is my kinda metal where it's melodic upbeat with just the right amount of Harsh vocals. Reminds me alot of Amaranthe too.
