As reported earlier this week by Ghost Cult, Life Of Agony has confirmed the release date for their upcoming album, A Place Where There’s No More Pain, out via their new label Napalm Records on April 28th. The band has also booked a record releases show, and two mini- tours as well.
The tour dates, including a hometown show at Irving Plaza to celebrate records’ release, on Apr 28. The band famously recorded their live album, River Runs Again at the venue, and has played there many times in their career. Also announced is the “Calling From the Underground” Unsigned Band Contest.
This contest will award the best-unsigned band in the tri-state area by being booked to open on one of their upcoming dates. LOA got their big break in the early 90’s as an unsigned act, opening for Overkill, Type O Negative, and Biohazard at The Ritz and now want to be able to give that chance to an up and coming band. The winner will be opening the band’s hometown album release show April 28th in New York, NY More details will be announced soon.
Bassist Alan Robert commented on the new album:
“We’re in the final stages of mixing the album with our producer and then we head into mastering sessions with Ted Jensen (Alice in Chains, Machine Head, Deftones) at Sterling Sound, NYC. This record is a monster and we’re so psyched to finally share it come April. It’s got such an energy to it. Raging guitar riffs, heartfelt lyrics and killer grooves. We definitely turned things up a few notches in 2017 and it feels great. And I gotta say, we’ve never been so focused as a band. Before we even wrote the first note, we all knew what kind of record we wanted to make. You can hear that drive and intensity in the tracks and you can feel the momentum building.”
