Celebrate 30 Years of Raw Emotion: LIFE OF AGONY’s Epic ‘Ugly’ Album Tour in 2025
In a recent chat with Ryan from the 97.7 QLZ radio station, LIFE OF AGONY guitarist Joey Z, also known as Joseph Zampella, opened up about the band’s future plans. While discussing potential new music to follow their 2019 album, “The Sound Of Scars,” he highlighted that their latest single, “The Crow (In Memory Of B.L.),” has given them a creative boost. This tribute track honors Brandon Lee, the star of the 1994 film “The Crow,” whose tragic death left a profound impact on the band. LIFE OF AGONY recorded the single at Sear Sound in New York City, with Joey Z taking on production duties.
As the band looks ahead, they have significant plans for 2025, including a much-anticipated 30th-anniversary tour celebrating their second album, “Ugly.” Having completed a successful anniversary tour for their debut album, “River Runs Red,” in 2023, fans and industry insiders have eagerly awaited this “Ugly” tour. The band is also gearing up for a co-headlining tour with an undisclosed partner band, sparking anticipation with artwork currently in the works.
Reflecting on the timeless appeal of “The Crow,” bass player Alan Robert shared admiration for Brandon Lee’s iconic portrayal, explaining how the film resonated with them as young musicians. The band’s deep connection to cinematic influences is a long-standing tradition, demonstrated by their cover of SIMPLE MINDS’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” on the “Ugly” album in 1995 and the Stanley Kubrick-inspired visuals in the “Desire” music video from 1997’s “Soul Searching Sun.”
With excitement building for 2025, LIFE OF AGONY is poised to reconnect with fans through both nostalgic celebrations and fresh collaborations, keeping their creative spirit alive and honoring the legacy of influences from their formative years.
