Life of Agony is an American alternative metal band from Brooklyn , New York that was formed in 1989 by singer Mina Caputo , bassist Alan Robert and guitarist Joey Z . To date the band has released six studio albums .
Brooklyn ( /ˈbrʊklɪn/ ) is a borough of New York City , coterminous with Kings County , located in the U.S. state of New York , the most populous county in the state , and the second-most densely populated county in the United States . It is New York City 's most populous borough , with an estimated 2,504,700 residents in 2010 . Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen , it shares a land border with the borough of Queens at the western end of Long Island . Brooklyn has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan across the East River , and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects it with Staten Island . With a land area of 70.82 square miles ( 183.4 km2 ) and water area of 26 square miles ( 67 km2 ) , Kings County is New York state 's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area , though it is the second-largest among the city 's five boroughs . If each borough were ranked as a city , Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous in the U.S. , after Los Angeles and Chicago . Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city ( and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution ) until January 1 , 1898 , when , after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s , according to the new Municipal Charter of Greater New York , Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities , boroughs , and counties to form the modern City of New York , surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs . The borough continues , however , to maintain a distinct culture . Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves . Brooklyn 's official motto , displayed on the Borough seal and flag , is Eendraght Maeckt Maght , which translates from early modern Dutch as Unity makes strength . In the first decades of the 21st century , Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant-garde destination for hipsters , with concomitant gentrification , dramatic house price increases and a decrease in housing affordability . Since the 2010s , Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship , high technology startup firms , postmodern art and design .
River Runs Red is the debut studio album by American alternative metal band Life of Agony , released on October 12 , 1993 by Roadrunner Records . The album is considered a concept album . This album was reissued as part of Roadrunner Records Top Shelf Edition series on April 29 , 2008 , with bonus tracks and a DVD featuring music videos and live videos . On October 7 , 2009 , it was announced that for the first time ever the band would perform the album in its entirety at Starland Ballroom on Saturday , November 28 , 2009 . In 2010 , a CD/DVD package entitled 20 Years Strong - River Runs Red : Live In Brussels was published which features a complete performance of the album at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels , Belgium .
Ugly is the second album released by American alternative metal band Life of Agony . The album signalled a considerable shift from the hardcore and groove metal sounds that defined their 1993 debut River Runs Red ; though it still features the band 's trademark heavy riffing ( see : ' I Regret ' , 'Damned If I Do ' , 'Fears ' ) , the gang vocals and double-kick drumming have been completely omitted . Caputo also opted for a much cleaner and natural vocal delivery , eschewing his baritone howl from the previous record . It was released in 1995 through Roadrunner Records ( see 1995 in music ) . Sal Abruscato left the band after the album 's tour in 1996 , but later rejoined for their first reunion in 2002 .
Soul Searching Sun is the third album released by Life of Agony in 1997 through Roadrunner Records ( see 1997 in music ) .
Broken Valley is the fourth studio album and sole major label release by New York-based alternative metal band Life of Agony . It was released in 2005 through Epic Records .

Historically part of Lanarkshire , the city now forms the Glasgow City council area , one of the 32 council areas of Scotland ; the local authority is Glasgow City Council . Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country 's West Central Lowlands . It is the fifth most visited city in the UK . Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians or , informally , as Weegies . Glasgow is also known for the Glasgow patter , a distinct dialect of the Scots language that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city . Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland , and tenth largest by tonnage in Britain . Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh , and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the fifteenth century , it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the eighteenth century . From the eighteenth century onwards , the city also grew as one of Great Britain 's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies . With the onset of the Industrial Revolution , the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world 's pre-eminent centres of chemicals , textiles and engineering ; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry , which produced many innovative and famous vessels . Glasgow was the Second City of the British Empire for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period , although many cities argue the title was theirs . In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , Glasgow 's population grew rapidly , reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938 .
First Leaf Fallen is the first album from the hard rock group Logan . It was recorded at the RedEye Studios in Clydebank and was released in July 2004 .

Paul Gallagher played the piano heard on the tracks Had It All and When I Get Down . The liner notes dedicate the song Last Goodbye to James McCue , a Lance Corporal who was a casualty in Iraq . He was personal friend of the band . The track Like A Rain was re-recorded and subsequently appeared on the second Logan album , Welcome To The Wasteland , this time featuring Iain Stratton on drums . When I Get Down has also been re-recorded and was part of Logan 's third album , Cruel Little World , from which it was the group 's first single . The album has since been pulled out of circulation due to the band 's opinion that it did not live up to the material found on later releases .
Welcome to the Wasteland is the second album from Logan . Initially planned as just an EP , it grew in length and is now considered to be a full album . Track six , Like A Rain , is a re-recorded version of the song from First Leaf Fallen , Logan 's first album that has since been pulled out of circulation . The piano part on Hey Mary was played by Paul Gallagher , who had previously collaborated with Logan .

It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 and has a total area of 20,779 km2 ( 8,023 sq mi ) . Wales has over 1,680 miles ( 2,700 km ) of coastline and is largely mountainous with its higher peaks in the north and central areas , including Snowdon ( Yr Wyddfa ) , its highest summit . The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable , maritime climate . Welsh national identity emerged among the Britons after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century , and Wales is regarded as one of the modern Celtic nations . Llywelyn ap Gruffudd 's death in 1282 marked the completion of Edward I of England 's conquest of Wales , though Owain Glyndŵr briefly restored independence to Wales in the early 15th century . The whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542 . Distinctive Welsh politics developed in the 19th century . Welsh Liberalism , exemplified in the early 20th century by Lloyd George , was displaced by the growth of socialism and the Labour Party . Welsh national feeling grew over the century ; Plaid Cymru was formed in 1925 and the Welsh Language Society in 1962 . Established under the Government of Wales Act 1998 , the National Assembly for Wales holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters .

Liberation Transmission is the third studio album by Welsh rock band Lostprophets .
The Betrayed is the fourth studio album by Welsh rock band Lostprophets , released through Visible Noise and Sony Music on 13 January 2010 . Although the band initially wished to record a quick follow-up to 2006 's Liberation Transmission , problems with labels and producers led to numerous delays . Consequently , tracks from the album were performed live as early as 2007 , but recording was not completed until July 2009 , following an entire album 's worth of material being scrapped by the band . The singles include : It 's Not the End of the World , But I Can See It from Here , Where We Belong and For He 's a Jolly Good Felon . A Better Nothing was set to be the fourth single , but it was cancelled due to the poor charting of For He 's a Jolly Good Felon . Although drummer Ilan Rubin left the band before the album 's release , his drum tracks were still kept on the finalized product .
Weapons is the fifth and final studio album by the Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets . It was released through Epic Records on 2 April 2012 . It was the first and only record featuring Luke Johnson on drums , after being with two other drummers previously , Mike Chiplin and Ilan Rubin ( the latter of whom features in archive recordings included on the deluxe edition of Weapons , as well as the hidden track Weapon on all versions of the album ) . This was the last album to be released by the band before lead vocalist Ian Watkins was convicted of numerous sex offences , which led to their disbandment . Just like their third studio album it features Latin on the front , which reads deus velox nex . When translated it reads God is swift death .
