On December 14, 2009 Dead by April played a show at Malmö Arena in Malmö during the Taste of Chaos tour. Other bands/artists that played during the event were In Flames, Killswitch Engade, Every Time I Die and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.
Info[]
The last Swedish concert on the Taste of Chaos tour was played in Malmö. It was also the last concert Johan played with the band in 2009.
Although Dead by April met much skepticism and derision during the short tour, the Malmo concert was without a doubt the worst. Dead by April was booed when they entered the stage and when Anders Fridén thanked the band the audience once again booed. Jonn Palmér Jeppson from Sydsvenskan wrote:
- "As if tonight's bands would offer something uncontrolled and challenging. In this context the deliberately crude commercial band Dead By April is the tour's most subversive elements. Large sections of the crowd booed at their commercial radio hits, without noticing how their favorite band In Flames is milked as goodwill ambassadors for the energy drink that sponsors the event." [1]
Johan describes In Flames as Swedens best live band prior to "Promise Me".

Song analysis[]
The entire show is available in good quality.
Trapped
- Jimmie screamed the ending of pre-chorus 2.
- Quite strong vocals from Jimmie.
Angels of Clarity
- Jimmie didn't scream "is buired deep within me" in verse 1.
Promise Me
- No screams from Jimmie in the intro.
- Jimmie screamed the ending of both pre-choruses.
In My Arms
- Johan screamed the answering part in "never look back, never again".
- Once again, pretty decent vocals from Jimmie!
Erased
- Jimmie screamed "hold me close" before pre-chorus 3.
Stronger
- Johan screamed the wrong lyric at the end of verse 1.
- Jimmie didn't sing the clean vocals in any bridge. He onle screams "everywhere".
- Jimmie introduced the song as "the second song we ever wrote."
Losing You
- Just like previous shows Pontus sang all the high notes in the choruses, very, very rare!!
- Jimmie only screamed "it is all" before the last chorus
