LIFE OF AGONY ANNOUNCE SPRING TOUR


PHOTO BY RENALDO MARKUS What is up my Lovelies? This is the greatest news for LIFE OF AGONY fans (yes, that also includes me) because if you are, you know what a mammoth show LIFE OF AGONY puts on! Am I right? This Spring the band sets out with the iconic, DOYLE and another band that moves it live - ALL HAIL THE YETI! What?! Yes, you heard me correctly - or read my typing correctly? In any case, you know that this is a show that you do not want to miss!

In lieu of the tour, the band's released a new OLV (Official Lyric Video) for the track "Stone" and you can watch and listen right here; just follow the link below!

If you've never had the chance to see DOYLE, who like LIFE OF AGONY, is an iconic member of thrash metal and has influenced probably any musician over the last several decades, in any genre. So, make it a point to go to the show if they're coming to a city/town near you.

Which leads me to the band news of this article - at least bad news for me - the Spring tour doesn't have a Dallas, Texas date so unless I teleport myself up north to a location, I have to wait until the tour comes through Dallas. And of course, I'm typing with Hammer of the Gods fingers as I'm writing to virtually inflict my frustration about not getting to see this tour on this run. Literally, having a toddler fit upon the keyboard, as I write.

LIFE OF AGONY is riding high off of the success of their critically acclaimed 2019 release, The Sound Of Scars (Napalm Records), and is teaming up with legendary Misfits guitarist Doyle for the “Beast Coast Monsters” US tour, beginning Friday the 13th of March in Philadelphia, PA and ending on May 25th at The Whisky in Los Angeles, CA. Special guests include All Hail The Yeti.

Bassist Alan Robert says, “The reception to the new songs has been incredible and one of the cool things about ‘em is just how seamlessly they fit into the live set. We’ll definitely be breaking out “Stone” for the very first time on this upcoming “Beast Coast Monsters” tour!”

“Kickin’ off the tour on Friday the 13th seems absolutely perfect to me,” laughs Alan Robert. “After all, we’ve got the ultimate monsterman out with us! We really cannot wait to get back out there... we did a tour with Doyle last year in Europe and it was so much fun. Now we’ve got a great new set ready filled with fan favorites old and new, plus a few surprises up our sleeves.”

The Beast Coast Monsters tour also heads over to Australia for a handful of dates this May. That trip will mark the very first time LIFE OF AGONY will perform on Australian soil in their 30-year history. Later this summer, LOA will appear on several open-air festivals in Europe such as Hellfest and Alcatraz, as well as string of co-headlining dates with Static-X.

LIFE OF AGONY’s The Sound Of Scars was named Album Of The Year by The Aquarian and took the #1 spot on Metal Hammer’s (DE) Alternative-Rock/Punk “Best of 2019” list. The record was produced by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of A Down) with LOA’s very own Joey Z (mixed by Massy), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Nirvana).

So there y'all have it! Below are the dates for the scheduled tour dates and you can view the new OLV right here!
