Life of Agony is one of the most influential bands with one of the most distinctive sounds of the 90’s era. A whole decade has gone by since their last album but now, LIFE OF AGONY are finally back!
Brooklyn’s hard rock legends LIFE OF AGONY have signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records. LIFE OF AGONY returned to the stage and performed on multiple festival dates in Europe over the summer of 2014. The famed River Runs Red line-up, of vocalist Mina Caputo, guitarist Joey Z, bassist Alan Robert, and drummer Sal Abruscato were excited to take the stage together once again after a three-year hiatus. And now the band has come back to stay, as they are about to continue touring the world and release their 5th studio album, the first in over a decade, since 2005’s Broken Valley.
Now the band unveiled the first details as well as the cover artwork for their upcoming album, titled A Place Where There’s No More Pain, set to be released on Napalm Records in 2016!
Bassist Alan Robert comments: “I think our fans know that our music comes from a very real place of suffering, from all of us in the band. Many of our fans have told us over the years that sharing our personal struggles has been cathartic for them in healing the pain in their own lives. That uplifting energy we share at the shows, gives us hope that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. And for us and hopefully our fans, that short time when we’re all together is a place where there’s no more pain.”
“Life Of Agony is without a doubt one of the most exciting and energetic Rock bands of our times. It is an honour to work with such talent, we are excited to announce their signing to Napalm Records and release the band’s first album after over a decade.” states Thomas Caser, CEO of Napalm Records, about the recent signing with legendary LIFE OF AGONY.”
