River Runs Red

River Runs Red is the debut studio album by American hardcore / alternative metal band Life Of Agony, released on October 12, 1993 by Roadrunner Records. All music & arrangements are credited to Life Of Agony collectively. All lyrics, melodies & musical concepts are credited to bassist Alan Robert. Robert also conceptualized the album's cover art and designed the band's logo. The album was produced & mixed by Josh Silver (ex-producer/keyboardist of Type O Negative) at Systems Two in Brooklyn, NY and was mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, NYC. River Runs Red is a concept album telling the story of a young man, from a troubled household, who ultimately attempts suicide. The album features what Rolling Stone Magazine called, "bleak odes to misanthropy, parental neglect, regret and killing yourself." In May 2005, River Runs Red became the fourth album overall to be inducted into the Decibel Magazine Hall of Fame.
