Life of Agony has already announced that their upcoming new album is a continuation of the storyline from their classic 1993 debut, River Runs Red (Roadrunner). Now, they have announced new details for the album, dubbed “The Sound of Scars”. Legendary producer Sylvia Massey, best known for Tool, Marilyn Manson and System of a Down will help the album at her studio Studio Divine in Ashland, Oregon. Additional recording will take place at various studios in New York. Massy will also handle mixing duties for the album. The Sound of Scars is expected to drop this fall from Napalm Records. Napalm released the bands’ comeback album in 2017, A Place Where There’s No More Pain. Watch the trailer below.
Alan Robert commented:
“Sylvia has a deep understanding of what this band is all about and we’ve wanted to work with her for a very, very long time. Especially, since this is a concept album continuing the story of River Runs Red, we’re extremely grateful to have her on board to help capture the darkness, raw emotion and heaviness of the new material.”
Sylvia Massey commented:
“Life of Agony began boldly over 25 years ago with its hard musical discourse into the human condition, a darkly hued story which continues to evolve today. This is a unique band with a remarkable history of personal discovery – a phoenix tale of flight, fire and resurrection. This month we begin again to record the latest chapter. I am excited to be the witness to the creation of the new Life of Agony album!”
Life Of Agony has already announced a handful of dates for 2019, including a co-headlining show with Overkill on Friday, May 10th at PlayStation Theater in New York City, Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany on August 2nd, and Rhein Riot Festival in Cologne, Germany with Body Count on August 3rd.
