SERIOUSLY?

 Monday, March 23rd, 2009 at 1:00pm by

That band is called Dead by April. I’m telling you so that if anyone ever asks you “Hey, dude, you wanna hear some Dead by April?”, you’ll know how to answer.

    Poser checklist:

    - Faux hawk
    - Asian calligraphy tattoos
    - Tribal ear stretching
    - Sleeve tattoos

    I take it they failed at rap-rock in high school and “evolved” to this.

  • dave

    its like a hybrid of everything that makes up terrible radio rock.

    Am I the only person that already lived through the year 2001? I know 27 is old on the Internet, but these musical abortions MUST know we barely tolerated this shit 8 years ago.

  • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

    The chick is hot, but overall, song and video sucks.

  • razorsharp codpiece

    dead by april fucking rules, fuck you guys for hating. I have a dead by april tattoo.

  • Steve

    Really razorsharp?

    Really?

  • SM

    A shame for Sweden.

  • Kye

    Well….if they didn’t scream…and played less generic music…they might not be that bad.

    Basically if the singer joined a different band, I think he’s got a fairly decent voice, just needs to not use it to make shitty music.

    “dead by april fucking rules, fuck you guys for hating. I have a dead by april tattoo.”

    I must see this tattoo. Prove it.

  • Bro

    Stretched ears brah. LETS FUCKIN MAKE A BAND BRAHHHHHHHHHH

  • http://pandasdestroy.com Greg

    Hey Kids! Too young to remember Linkin Park? GOOD! Buy this, idiots!

  • bearbomb

    Good thing April’s just around the corner.

  • bombs away

    seems like an amazing amount of editing went into this.
    they must sound like crap live

  • http://www.thedevilsdemons.com Vincent

    ^Winner.

  • Senior Swanky (Beardo)

    I wanted to see some Muffin Top damnit!

  • Selaphiel

    Wasn’t too bad. I kinda liked it.

  • Strungout

    Putting my dick in a toaster would offer more entertainment than watching this video again.

  • herojoe

    ALL I WANT IS DJOO!!!

    Are these guys mexican or something?

  • BlestTilDeth

    All I Need is JEW!
    Dude looks like Matt Heafy’s lil’ brother.

  • RotAndOrRoll

    I think this is what was playing on the TV in the beginning of Brian Posehn’s Metal By Numbers video.

  • canea

    I’m on my way to get a Dead by April tattoo as well. I don’t want to be left out.

  • Marcus

    BlestTilDeth:

    They’re from Sweden, from the same town as In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity..

    I had never heard them before I saw this video here on metalsucks, I’ve just seen them on the bill of various festivals around Sweden, now I know I need to avoid them at those festivals. They play with Opeth, Meshuggah, Slipknot etc this summer in Gothenburg.

  • Brett

    Is that their band name or expiration date?

  • Patton

    Sounds like something “metalheads” from my school would listen to, I mean it’s obviously hardcore as fuck and all that…

    I’m going back to Hate Eternal, bye bye.

  • kanoric

    in some ways its annoyingly catchy but dam blunt and the poseromiter is at full on BLURHHHHH!!!!!!

  • Sammy

    @wata: You forgot #5: holding old style microphone sideways in hand.

  • myke

    you whats funny about this band? there singer use to sing for nightrage. he sang on their 3rd album. i heard the album really didnt care for it. i’m not really surpised by this metalcore lump of shit.

  • nick

    I got kinda nauseous after a minute or so of that. I’m not even saying that to be a dick i really did. I even gave it a chance.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    Hoobastank!!

  • Blackthorned

    They sound like Sonic Syndicate in a bingo hall.

  • Anthony

    The chick in the video looks like the barely legal chick at work that I want to fuck.

  • Metal J.

    Dude, Is the singer Brian Austin Green from 90210. Sweeeet!!! I feel gay for even posting this. Sorry.

  • http://www.themetalreporter.net TMR

    I heard about these guys when Jimmie left Nightrage, a year or so back…. Jimmie is a pretty good vocalist (although he took Nightrage to the Metalcore fences, jumped over and left them behind) these guys are obviously swinging for some big bags of money…

    Now EVERYONE prepare for the Scene Kids to demolish your brains with the new Linkin Park (wait what ?)

    Oh yea and the chick in the video is hott, I’ll pick up a copy of the album, if I get a happy ending from her. (apart from that, Its a bargain I’m not willing to partake in)

    But in all fairness, I’ll still check out what they have to offer (mainly because Tomas Lindberg was in Nightrage, and I love Tomas and Jimmie used to be in the band *before he got kicked out* and now he is singing in this) so what I’m trying to say is … TOMAS “TOMPA” LINDBERG RULES !!!!

    (plays the opening riff from “slaughter of the soul”)….GO !!!

    p.s. They picked the wrong time of the year to start spreading the word…

  • tyler09

    That was actually pretty good. Thumbs up

  • Andizzle

    This song was actually really good and catchy. I like it a lot. I guess this site’s name should be changed to DEATHMETALSUCKS.com cause all i see here is praise for that shit and hate on everything else. Umm hello, deathmetal is not the only kind of metal out there people. Unless it’s tech death, it’s also really boring and not technical at all. chuggachuggachugga! RAAAWWRRR!!! Oh yea this band doesn’t sound metal…at all…but thanks for posting it cause i just found a new good band!!

  • Malacoda

    @ Andizzle: Fuck you. We like good music. I guess this applys to the whole post.

  • Malacoda

    And I guess it’s catchy, but listen to the guitar. Pure crap. And now I’m ashamed of the previous Nightrage singer. Epic fail.

  • Lt Crumpet

    come on punks, if you havnt heard worse you’re A: lying or B: lying and trolling.
    Bad, yes. Getting nauseous? Try harder to sound troo kvlt please.

  • DemonicLemming

    Meh, I like it more than Gojira and all the rest of the grunt/scream/gurgle bands without actual lyrics so popular right now. I wouldn’t actively bother to listen to it at work, but it’s not disgustingly horrible, just more generic than anything, and that’s an issue the majority of bands out these days suffer from.

    Back to Blackwater Park now.

  • Kev

    Although that song did suck major balls. I do have to say its not only not metal, but not hardcore. Its no where close to metalcore, which i dont like anyways. Theyre a rock band trying to sound heavy, and just sounding gay. And Metalsucks, why would you post this? Give them free press? You know it, I know it, Stop posting videos by shitty bands

  • Brian B

    More shitty bands getting free press.

  • DanyLektro

    It’s.. whiney, but nowhere near as bad as most of the other shit you’ve shit on. It’s just kind of there, kind of, “ew, that’s playing? well turn it off!” kind of music rather than “OH GOD MY EARDRUMS!”.

    Though as everyone needs to point out, that chick is hot.

  • Dick

    If Gojira or Early Man did this track yous guys would be creaming all over yourselves yacking about what an impressive step this is for them who are in whatever band. Dokken is still rockin you buncha lame-o’s

  • alex

    how many other bands have done this a million times prior

    this shit is getting so old
    i want to rip my ear drums out

  • HagstromSpeed

    I want to rip his gauges out lol, BLEED BITCH QUIT SINGING!

  • Superhans

    why are bands trying to bring back neu metal??
    i’m with kev, stop posting this shit

  • Josh

    Fucking Twilight metal.

  • http://www.ulrlfc.co.uk Fionnbharr

    ^HA

    “Hey guys, what does this ‘T-Pain’s AutoTuner’ switch do?”

  • Headbanger32894

    I totally agree with Josh. This is fucking terrible.

  • Headbanger32894

    This is definitely not nu-metal. And the singer has no emotions at all when he sings. It must be really hard to lip-sync…

  • walterthemotherfucker

    haha Josh got it… and if this is not on the new twilight movie, then the movie producers have failed to link a crappy movie franchise with a crappy band that would have been great back when evanesence came out

  • Rik

    Hmm, I think this sounds pretty fucking good, or at least parts of it do. But I am a nu metal fan/fag, so whatever.

    Still, I’m finding it incredibly hard to believe that this video isn’t from 2003 at the latest.

  • Rik

    Wait this guy was in Nightrage? Haha. Those guys are just a poor copy of Dimension Zero anyway.

    Just listening to this band on MySpace, “Angels of Clarity” is pretty metal, it actually has riffs. And I think the drummer used to be in Nightrage too.

  • The Mighty Fucking Quinn

    To be honest, they sound like a band that with the right people pushing them, they could do a lot of big things.That being said, big and good are totally different things.Notice how bands like Emmure headline tours to 1000 capacity rooms and bands like Arsis or A Life Once Lost play to tiny crowds or open for those “larger” bands.

  • sasquatch012

    worst episode of peoples court ever

  • You Don’t Know Me

    a low budget and half assed attempt at making a court room look like something out of an art house film mixed with a cliche performance piece that looks like it came straight out of every video that debuted on Headbanger’s Ball in 2003. on top of all of that, the music isn’t even all that good. i’ve heard worse music but it’s just so generic.

  • Jimmy

    It’s not bad for a radio rock band. Beats the shit out of Nickleback.

  • Luis ROcha

    OBI WAN KENOBEE

  • Ell

    Once upon a time I would have loved this band. I guess that’s why I can’t really bring myself to hate this song.

    Doesn’t make it good music though. Just… catchy. More emo than metal.
