DEAD BY APRIL - New Single Details Revealed; UK Tour Dates Confirmed
May 6, 2010, 14 years ago
Swedish modern metallers DEAD BY APRIL will be returning to the UK in October for a full run of dates supporting MY PASSION.
In advance of these shows, on May 17th, the band will be releasing a new double A-side digital single, comprising of ‘Love Like Blood’ and ‘Promise Me’.
‘Love Like Blood’, a cover of the KILLING JOKE classic, is taken from a forthcoming Killing Joke tribute album (also featuring artists such as METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS and HELMET), whilst ‘Promise Me’ can be found on Dead By April's debut self-titled album, a #2 record in their native Finland.
The band recently confirmed a lineup change, with guitarist/vocalist Pontus Hjelm being replaced by Zandro Santiago (Pontus, however, will continue as a non-touring member of the writing team). This means that Santiago will share vocal duties with Jimmie Strimell, leaving Johan Olsson to take care of all guitar parts live.
