Life Of Agony - Tumblr Posts
Life of Agony is an Alternative Metal band from Brooklyn, NYC that formed in 1989. Their debut album River Runs Red was released in 1993, a concept album that focuses on suicide while exploring the themes of abuse, alcoholism, and abandonment.
It’s very much an album of its time, what with its almost grunge-like vocals and groove metal-ish guitars and bass. While I have not listened to the album whole way through, though from what I have listened to, I will say it has a number of very well put together songs, even if I find some a bit uninteresting to listen to at points just based on how the vocals are delivered.
Keeping the LoA train going, back in 2019, Life of Agony released another concept album, titles The Sound of Scars, it being a sequel to their debut album River Runs Red. As some may or may not be able to guess, as a sequel to an a concept album exploring themes of abuse, alcoholism and abandonment, the themes of this album are related to trauma recovery and healing.
