LIFE OF AGONY ANNOUNCES “30 YEARS OF RIVER RUNS RED” WORLD TOUR

Next year marks three decades since LIFE OF AGONY’s critically acclaimed, debut album River Runs Red was released on Roadrunner Records, and the group is celebrating the milestone with a 2023 world tour. The first leg of Life of Agony’s “30 Years of River Runs Red” tour kicks off in Europe with dates starting on Friday the 13th of January in Bochum, Germany and ending in Milton Keynes, England on February 11th. Main support will be fellow New York veterans Prong (in Europe) and Madball (in the UK), with rock duo Tarah Who? opening all dates. USA & Canadian dates start up in March with Sick Of It All. Tickets: http://www.lifeofagony.com. More territories will be announced shortly.

 

Rolling Stone hailed Life of Agony’s “River Runs Red” as being “one of the greatest metal albums of all time.”

 

“River Runs Red was an album that helped so many people get through some really dark times,” explains Life of Agony bassist Alan Robert. “It was raw, heavy, and extremely emotional when it dropped back in ’93. We had no idea the impact it would have on that generation, let alone being able to see it have such longevity three decades later. It is a complete honor and full circle experience for us to celebrate this moment with our longtime friends Prong and Madball, who were both there in the very beginning of the band’s history.”

Earlier in 2022, Life of Agony’s full-length documentary “The Sound of Scars”, directed by Leigh Brooks, was praised by fans as well as the media for taking a deep and personal look into the band member’s lives. Stories of domestic violence, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation came out through introspective interviews with the musicians themselves and their respective families.  Kerrang raved about its “unflinching” take on family with a 5-star review and the BBC’s Jennie Kermode called it “a highly accomplished piece of work… a story full of pain and struggle.” The film is available for purchase or rent on multiple streaming platforms and is out now as a collector’s edition BluRay through Raven Banner Entertainment.

Alan Robert Featured in New Spoiler NYC Video "Banned in 38 States"

Alan Robert has been up to no good. Since he returned from touring the world with his band Life of Agony, he's been seen in New York City driving around in an old checkered cab dressed as Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle. Most recently, he was caught on video being arrested at the Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn, NY.

It's all in good fun though. Robert has resurrected his punk rock trio Spoiler NYC to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the group's debut album with a pair of music videos and a brand-new, remastered release titled Banned in 38 States.

"I grew up on punk rock when it was dangerous. When burned out buildings lined Hell's Kitchen instead of these shiny, billion-dollar, high-rise condos. We're bringing back that raw, old-school angst with Spoiler NYC,” said Robert. “I remember the feeling that chaos could break out at any given moment…"

Watch Spoiler NYC's "Banned in 38 States" Music Video: https://youtu.be/UOLtTO8EQD8

Watch Spoiler NYC’s "Damaged Goods" Music Video: https://youtu.be/7G1hxEeyeKc

Both videos were directed by Derek Soto/Sinestra Studios with Marissa Ann/Scryer Photo.

Grammy-Award winner Ken Lewis, of Wu Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, and Eminem fame, produced and mixed Spoiler NYC’s “Banned in 38 States” and “Damaged Goods”. Both new songs are included on Spoiler NYC’s new album (also titled “Banned in 38 States”) along with 12 other remastered tracks that first appeared on the group’s 2007 debut “Grease Fire in Hell’s Kitchen”. Remastering was done by Life of Agony's Joey Zampella at The Nest Studio in Long Island, NY.


“Banned in 38 States” is available everywhere digitally right now, and on limited edition vinyl this Halloween. Vinyl pre-order: https://bit.ly/3SBOSc2

Renowned artist & musician Alan Robert, best known for being the primary songwriter and bassist for Life of Agony and the creator of the hit book series The Beauty of Horror, is also a man who would not take it anymore. Robert embraces his inner Travis Bickle in the new video for his punk rock side project Spoiler NYC. The band, along with director Derek Soto, hit the mean streets of New York City to recreate shots from Scorsese’s cult-classic Taxi Driver, with Robert in the iconic mohawk and unmistakable checkered cab. 

“There’s no sicker feeling in the world than driving down the streets of New York in an old cab dressed like Travis Bickle,” laughs Robert. “Random strangers were running over to snap selfies with me, thinking we were filming a sequel or something!”

“It was truly a sight to behold Alan's transformation into Travis and his uncanny resemblance to DeNiro in the movie,” explained director Derek Soto. “It was an honor to be chosen to help bring Spoiler NYC’s vision and concept to life on camera, paying homage to a film that is one of my all-time favorites. I say with proud confidence that working on this music video has pushed my potential for future projects to come.” 

Grammy-Award winner Ken Lewis, of Wu Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, and Eminem fame, produced and mixed “Damaged Goods”, which will appear on a new Spoiler NYC release titled “Banned in 38 States”. The upcoming album is a remastered 15th anniversary edition of the group’s 2007 debut “Grease Fire in Hell’s Kitchen”, along with two new tracks. All songs have been completely remastered by Life of Agony's Joey Zampella at The Nest Studio in Long Island, NY.
