New Song Premiere: LIFE OF AGONY's 'World Gone Mad'

“World Gone Mad”, a brand new song from reactivated Brooklyn hard rock veterans LIFE OF AGONY, can be streamed below. The track is taken from the band’s comeback album, “A Place Where There’s No More Pain”, which will be released on April 28 via Napalm. The band’s fifth studio LP marks LIFE OF AGONY‘s first release since singer Mina Caputo (formerly known as Keith Caputo) came out as transgender in 2011.

“The message behind ‘World Gone Mad’ could not be more relevant to what’s going on all over this planet right now,” says LIFE OF AGONY bassist Alan Robert. “People are more divided than ever, and if we continue to ignore the fact that this world is busting at its seams and just continue to ‘stick our heads underground,’ like the lyrics suggest, we will see a madness in our lifetime like we’ve never experienced before.”

01. Meet My Maker
02. Right This Wrong
03. A Place Where There’s No More Pain
04. Dead Speak Kindly
05. A New Low

The official video for the “A Place Where There’s No More Pain” title track can now be seen below. The clip was directed by Leigh Brooks of Firebelly Films and was shot predominately in Hamburg, Germany with a few shots from the London show on LIFE OF AGONY‘s recent European tour.

In support of “A Place Where There’s No More Pain”, LIFE OF AGONY will hit the road this spring in the Northeast United States. The first short run of dates kicks off April 27 in Allston, Massachusetts and runs through April 29 in Poughkeepsie, New York. The second jaunt begins May 12 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and runs through May 20 in Sayreville, New Jersey.

LIFE OF AGONY returned to the stage and performed on multiple festival dates in Europe over the summer of 2014. The band’s famed “River Runs Red” lineup, consisting of vocalist Mina Caputo, guitarist Joseph Zampella (a.k.a. Joey Z), bassist Alan Robert and drummer Sal Abruscato, was excited to take the stage together once again after a three-year hiatus.

Robert previously stated about “A Place Where There’s No More Pain”: “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.”
