Life of Agony

The band formed in 1989 in the infamous Brooklyn and from the very beginning their music has escaped categorisation and association with any concrete style or trend. Most often referred to as a crossover band, their sound is an explosive mix of hardcore, metal and even alternative rock. Their debut album “River Runs Red” from 1993 is still considered to be a quintessential record and an unsurpassed example of a sound that spans multiple genres. An album that caused quite a stir both at the hardcore and metal scene and served as a bridge for two often separated audiences. From its formation until the present day, the band has been on hiatus many times and has faced extensive line-up changes and yet it has never lost its reputation as an absolute concert marvel – a phenomenon both great and rare.
