the new guy has a deeper, fuller sound, but jimmie has that signature sound that makes him sound like he's ripping his throat apart. i actually can't imagine him screaming without a little blood mist coming out of his mouth. anyways, the two blend together perfectly.
I've been following DBA for many years now and I'm well aware of the mixed response from the metal community. I personally respect the artistry here and absolutely love their sound, people who are fans of this pop-metal fusion style may also want to check out Amaranthe if you haven't already. Great bands. :)
Ngl I never understood the biasness of the metal community. There are so many poppy metal bands out there but then some bands get all the hate while others don't.
@@sushio4357 metal fans are usually very specific about what they like. Like the technical people only like technical death metal, the black metal people only like that, so on and so forth. I think it’s really stupid and closed minded.
O come on. I've listened to these guys since '07 and love them. Although my musictaste has changed and am not a huge fan anymore and I immediately heard they had a new singer, this song breathes DBA and made me happy when I heard it. Imo it's sad he left, but they couldn't get any better replacement for him. :)
I think this is a new era of DBA. Thanks to Jimmie for all he's done and good luck. The song is amazing, it sounds in a special way, Stooffe's vocals are fucking great!
Hey Guys, listen .. I was just starting listening to this band like 2 week ago ... I have listened to about 12 songs, and let me tell you ... I love this song ... I liked Jimmie, but this dude is actually very good too, you should cut him some slack. Since I am just starting to become a fan of this band (I haven't assimilate completely with their line up/ old songs/ the voice of the lead) , I can tell you for sure, they sound just as good as before ...
Stoffe is a great screamer. He replaced Richard from Sonic Syndicate and did an awesome job live back in 2012. I saw DbA last week and I can tell you Stoffe is just awesome
I'm not sure if this has been said before, but this version of "Freeze Frame" still has Jimmie's vocals on it, while the version on DbA's album "Let the World Know" has Stoffe's vocals.
I personally love Santiago and Stoffe. I love Let The World Know as an album, I don't understand the hate for them. Though I do prefer the Pontus/Jimmie combo a bit more
I'm not gunna lie, I am impressed with this song, I have followed DBA since they started. But its true, this isn't like original DBA. :( but cannot wait to see them in london this year.
It's dropped :)) it's on spotify so and i see you like Hu aswell ;P never thought i'd see a person who loves Dba and Hu hehe own all albums except Tragedy Redux (not a big fan of remixes)
MetalHeadMcNarland i think its not edited, watch some live videos with stoffe on youtube hes doing a great job and nobody could replace jimmie as good as stoffe does! i think he deserves to be a part of DBA!
No, he did, he would do pretty much do 95% of the song back in like 07,08,and part of 09 Here's an example Dead by april in my arms live at Gardehov (click the one by MrsTwisted) and then Pontus would start to do most of the clean vocals and Jimmie would just do the growls Here's an example Dead by april losing you by Pitcam Btw the first vid I linked you of in my arms is my fav live vid of DBA, I loved it when Jimmie did pretty much all the vocals himself, he has such a good voice.
I can get used to this new Dead By April :) However I feel like everyone will think Jimmy is better for the reason that he was in the band as it started. If Stoffe was in the band first and Jimmy happened to take his spot later on, I feel like people would be saying "Stoffe was better." Excited to see how much this band grows :)
Jimmie used to do all the vocals, and then Pontus started to do vocals live as well, and ex guitarist Johann Olsson used to do back up screams as well, but then he left the band in 2010, and Pontus also left the band in 2010 because he wanted to focus more on song writing, so they then brought Zandro in to replace Pontus on April 5th 2010 I believe, but Pontus came back after. The first DBA album is just Jimmie doing all the vocals, and Pontus saying a couple lines in "My Saviour" and "Carry Me"
In fact, this one is re-recorded with Stoffe's vocals on. And it wasn't released before Jimmie got kicked out. Just an acapella of the initial version of the song. Then Jimmie got kicked out and they had to re-record the song.
Need to say that i liked the version with jimmy more, not only beacause of the screaming parts it was more melodic, the instrumental part was simply better. But i still like the song and cant wait for the new album
I have been a solid fan for 3-4 years... An good god.. RIP.. The band is not what it use to be... Doesn't even sound like the same band. They went from something really great to... I don't even know what this is :/ I'm sad..
DBA without Jimmie is not longer the known DBA. but they had changed. Changed like every band will do at one point and i like jimmie more espacially live but DBA is still DBA and they are going the way they want and thats how musicians do! so shut up and listen to them oder not. i will do! with Jimmie or without,
I thought this the singing was Jimmy at first--definitely can notice the screams. Overall, definitely dig it--when Jimmy left I thought the sound would change drastically, but it didn't--good shit!
Finally someone who likes Stoffe! Whoa! He's fucking awesome and has been struggling against his alcoholism for years. Jimmie was a really bad person in private life.
Honestly, I find Jimmie's screams to be more desirable to listen to. I feel his are clearer and more expressive. Now I'm not saying that Stoffe is bad, because he isn't. I know I couldn't do what he does, but I just feel sometimes I cannot understand what he is saying when he screams and I have to turn to the lyrics on the screen to understand him. It's just my opinion that I believe Jimmie was a better screamer, but Stoffe is a decent replacement. I'm excited for the future, DBA Army!
screaming in harmony. only dead by april.
the new guy has a deeper, fuller sound, but jimmie has that signature sound that makes him sound like he's ripping his throat apart. i actually can't imagine him screaming without a little blood mist coming out of his mouth. anyways, the two blend together perfectly.
Zack Zaike I'm quite sure after their concerts he was awake the whole night full of pain and longing to die.
this needs more recognition
I've been following DBA for many years now and I'm well aware of the mixed response from the metal community. I personally respect the artistry here and absolutely love their sound, people who are fans of this pop-metal fusion style may also want to check out Amaranthe if you haven't already. Great bands. :)
dEMOTIONAL
Both are amazing groups

One of the best songs from DBA
PartyDan absolutely
Neon1Ice yup
Very nice song , bravo guys!
I can tell you that Stoffe is very good live even with the older songs. I've seen them past Thursday and it really showed how good he is.
Dead by April are extremely underrated man.
Voll der niedliche Anfang ~yay
I really like this! I love how different the vocals are, yet still so familiar.
pontus is the heart of this band. he is an awesome songwriter. he write all the music
I'm impressed with Stoffe. Still has that DBA sound and Zandro still kicking ass on those cleans.
Man I love Dead By April!
this is what you call music
i haven't listened to these guys for like... 3 years or so, since their self titled and now i just happen to listen to this? wow, i love it
This song accually suprised me i thought it wouldn't this good...I like it
Jimmie was good, but stoffe is good too :)
This is awesome, Love it! Pontus done it again, written another hit song!
J'adore se groupe du new métal très bon !
I'm glad that Pontus came back to clean vocals. I mean this dude was so so good but I love the way Pontus sings
I guess Zandro was the best clean vocal of Dead by april
They are just an amazing band would love to hear them live coz they give me inspiration to carry on! Keep it up dba ur just brill! :-)
They are sooooo good live! met the guys afterwards as well they are the nicest people ever, had such a laugh especially with the new guy!

Hell yeah :) its great! Love this song cant wait for the new album :)
Awesomee new music by the greatest band ever !!
whoooo published on my bday!!!! my fav band :D
I wish Jimmy was still in this band, he was amazing :'( I hope he is okay soon
Hey Guys, listen .. I was just starting listening to this band like 2 week ago ... I have listened to about 12 songs, and let me tell you ... I love this song ... I liked Jimmie, but this dude is actually very good too, you should cut him some slack. Since I am just starting to become a fan of this band (I haven't assimilate completely with their line up/ old songs/ the voice of the lead) , I can tell you for sure, they sound just as good as before ...
You gave me the whole storyline
We miss you Jimmie...
I LOVE YOU STOFFE , helt underbart!
Even though Jimmie is gone, Dead By April is still amazing.
Jimmie came back and forced to leave the band because of drug addiction
I can't stop listening to this!
you are the best band ever
Chris keep up the good work
Stoffe is a great screamer. He replaced Richard from Sonic Syndicate and did an awesome job live back in 2012. I saw DbA last week and I can tell you Stoffe is just awesome
I'm not sure if this has been said before, but this version of "Freeze Frame" still has Jimmie's vocals on it, while the version on DbA's album "Let the World Know" has Stoffe's vocals.
All this talk about Jimmie, but what about Pontus? His clean vocals are some of the best in Metal. Jimmie is unique and so is Hjelm.
I personally love Santiago and Stoffe. I love Let The World Know as an album, I don't understand the hate for them. Though I do prefer the Pontus/Jimmie combo a bit more
Pontus vocals sucks. I hate it so much. Jimmie was the only good thing about this band.
Love them all so much 😍
I love this new album... love it
i need him right here right now !!!!!
awsome song
Jimmie is the reason DBA sounds like this !!!
Finally! New stuff!
Really worth the wait!
Amazing song!
Good shit right here
going crazy for the new album right now :D
What. A. Voice.
I think yal are my new Favorite Band
I'm not gunna lie, I am impressed with this song, I have followed DBA since they started. But its true, this isn't like original DBA. :( but cannot wait to see them in london this year.
Песня супер!
Amazing work, stoffe is really good
It's dropped :)) it's on spotify so and i see you like Hu aswell ;P never thought i'd see a person who loves Dba and Hu hehe own all albums except Tragedy Redux (not a big fan of remixes)
Zandro: *kills this song with ease*
Me: "Sing it, Z!"
Jimmie was the Heart!!!!
That's so dumb. Stoffe sounds almost EXACTLY the same as Jimmie.
WolfieboyMachi
I believe his voice is edited to sound like that. Just my two cents.
MetalHeadMcNarland
i think its not edited, watch some live videos with stoffe on youtube hes doing a great job and nobody could replace jimmie as good as stoffe does! i think he deserves to be a part of DBA!
i think stoffe does a great job
This guys are awesome, Hey guys, maybe someone can tell me others good melodic metalcore bands like Dead by April?
+G'eZz(Gaston) ERRA, Killswitch Engage, AILD, Amaranthe, coldrain, Crossfaith
This shiiiit is awesome,grettings from Serbia!!!
Playing minecraft, just chilling, placing blocks Like dirt like dirt like dirt!
I see what you did there lmao.
more great songs to come
No, he did, he would do pretty much do 95% of the song back in like 07,08,and part of 09 Here's an example
Dead by april in my arms live at Gardehov (click the one by MrsTwisted)
and then Pontus would start to do most of the clean vocals and Jimmie would just do the growls
Here's an example
Dead by april losing you by Pitcam
Btw the first vid I linked you of in my arms is my fav live vid of DBA, I loved it when Jimmie did pretty much all the vocals himself, he has such a good voice.
Yeah yeah... whatever you guys say, I still love this Dead By April & also love Ends With A Bullet (Jimmie's new band) End of my story.
Those old good days😢😢
I can get used to this new Dead By April :) However I feel like everyone will think Jimmy is better for the reason that he was in the band as it started. If Stoffe was in the band first and Jimmy happened to take his spot later on, I feel like people would be saying "Stoffe was better." Excited to see how much this band grows :)
DBA are FOREVER ♥

The new vocalist nice growl was recently at their concert. Liked it.
In fact, this one is re-recorded with Stoffe's vocals on.
And it wasn't released before Jimmie got kicked out. Just an acapella of the initial version of the song. Then Jimmie got kicked out and they had to re-record the song.
Oh so lovely, I missed this :3
Love it!
i love it!
Hamburg! Das war so geil!
When I saw DBA with the new singer I thought it would be disappointing but Stoffe is AWESOME!!!
BEST BAND EVER I HAVE CONCERT CARDS FOR AACHEN YEAHHH
Guys seriously quit whining about Jimmie. The new screamer sounds almost exactly the same as Jimmie. It's not a big deal.
Need to say that i liked the version with jimmy more, not only beacause of the screaming parts it was more melodic, the instrumental part was simply better.
But i still like the song and cant wait for the new album
Luv it!
I have been a solid fan for 3-4 years... An good god.. RIP.. The band is not what it use to be... Doesn't even sound like the same band. They went from something really great to... I don't even know what this is :/ I'm sad..

Changed like every band will do at one point and i like jimmie more espacially live but DBA is still DBA and they are going the way they want and thats how musicians do! so shut up and listen to them oder not. i will do! with Jimmie or without,
What did this guy do in the band?
Found these guys by accident. Best accident I've ever made.
their music is becoming increasingly pop music
LOVE IT !
I thought this the singing was Jimmy at first--definitely can notice the screams. Overall, definitely dig it--when Jimmy left I thought the sound would change drastically, but it didn't--good shit!
Finally someone who likes Stoffe! Whoa! He's fucking awesome and has been struggling against his alcoholism for years. Jimmie was a really bad person in private life.
Album; February 2014. Jimmie's band: Ends with a bullet :)
I'm in love ♥
And joined a band called Ends with A Bullet Happy to know he is doing good.
I was a little worried, with a new screamer and all, but it still sounds excellent.
For my Dead By April is all what i need...
i luv it
Jimmie has his own band now. Band name, Ends With A Bullet. They release a teaser. Thay are awesome to.
Yeah!! DBA Forever :)
Honestly, I find Jimmie's screams to be more desirable to listen to. I feel his are clearer and more expressive. Now I'm not saying that Stoffe is bad, because he isn't.

I really like Stoffe's voice
They was always like this, and your English is fine. : )
This band >

Old DBA Forever !
