"Fusing huge hooks, infectious melodies, stonking nu-metal styled riffage and electro samples, Dead by April surely know how to write songs... Sure, it won't leave your ears ringing, or fists bleeding, but it'll have you humming all the way home from the show," remarked Katie Parsons of Kerrang!, giving it a 4 out of 5 rating.[2]

Dead by April (рус. Убитый апрелем) — дебютный альбом шведской металкор-группы Dead by April, вышедший в мае 2009 года. Это единственный альбом с участием бывших гитаристов группы Йохана Олссона и Понтуса Хьельма (последний впоследствии вернулся в группу в 2012 году). Первым синглом с альбома стала песня «Losing You», выпущенная 6 марта 2009 года. Альбом состоит из 11 перезаписанных демо-песен, вышедших ранее и двух новых песен — «What Can I Say» и «Sorry for Everything». Песня «What Can I Say» 11 сентября вышла как второй сингл группы, через 12 дней (28 сентября) песня «Angels of Clarity» вышла как третий сингл группы. На все синглы, кроме "What Can I Say" сняты видеоклипы. Альбом в шведском чарте занял вторую позицию, на позицию выше таких альбомов, как Relapse рэпера Эминема и 21st Century Breakdown панк-рок-группы Green Day[5].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
