I Scream Records is very excited and proud to welcome Life Of Agony to the family.
On Saturday April 3rd 2010 I Scream Records will be recording & filming Life Of Agony's performance at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium, the second show of their exclusive European "20 Years Strong" tour. In late 2009 the band performed their debut album "River Runs Red" in its entirety during a few exclusive, sold out, US shows and now, after popular demand, they're also heading over to Europe to perform a set built around this amazing, legendary album.
The release of this "20 Years Strong" live album, which will also include a free bonus DVD of the complete show at the Ancienne Belgique, exclusive footage and much more, is set for early this Summer.
Crossover-metal kings, Life of Agony, formed in the summer of '89 and quickly built a cult-following upon the release their now classic, debut album, "River Runs Red" released through Roadrunner Records. The band's unique sound and honest lyrics have captivated audiences for two decades now. In celebration of this huge milestone, the group has been performing the record that started it all!!
"We're really excited to capture this moment in time. Twenty years, man, that's no joke! If you would've asked us when we were kids growin' up in Brooklyn, if we thought that we'd ever make something this important to people around the world, we probably would've laughed in your face. But, here we are, still selling out shows after all this time and turning people's tragedy into hope. Somehow, through the music, we've helped a lot of folks out there. And that's what's always been most important to us." - LOA Bassist, Alan Robert
AqME (avec un q minuscule) est en ce moment la rĂ©fĂ©rence en matiĂšre de mĂ©tal français. BasĂ© Ă Paris, le groupe est actif depuis 1999. AprĂšs avoir livrĂ© lâEP âUniversity Of Nowhereâ, ils sortirent en 2002 un premier album intitulĂ© âSombres Effortsâ produit par le SuĂ©dois Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames). Lui succĂ©dĂšrent âPolaroids & Pornographieâ et âLa Fin Des Tempsâ, suivis par un CD/DVD live qui fut pour partie enregistrĂ© lors de leur concert Ă l'AB en 2006. Le groupe retrouva ensuite Bergstrand pour l'enregistrement de âHeresieâ (2008) et du tout nouveau âEn lâHonneur de Jupiterâ. Sur ces deux derniers albums, le son du groupe s'est enrichi d'Ă©lĂ©ments typiques du rock classique (pensez Ă Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Black Sabbath et QOTSA). Ils ont mĂȘme Ă©crit un duo avec Indochine quâils ont rĂ©guliĂšrement jouĂ© en live.
C'est aux Anglais de Panic Cell qu'il reviendra d'ouvrir la soirée. Ce groupe métal a déjà eu l'occasion de tourner avec des groupes comme Mudvayne et Disturbed et sortira un nouvel album en avril.
