Release date: 2010
Release: CD + DVD

Life of Agony is an alternative metal band from Brooklyn, New York, America and scored a lot of hits with “River Runs Red”, “This time” and “Let’s pretend”. The band was formed during the summer of 1898 by singer Keith Caputo, guitarist Joey Z and bassist Alan Robert. After playing with several drummers, they enlisted drummer Sal Abruscato from Type O Negative. This line up made the legendary River Runs Red album and got them signed to Roadrunner Records.
Now so many years later, the band wanted to recommend all those years of hard work and organized 3 concerts in the Benelux. One of them in Brussels and the guys made a live recording of it and a live DVD. So you got all of their classics, live and in great audio format (do keep in mind that not everyone will love this) and you can even live (or relive) the concert with the DVD.
