The band was formed in the summer of 1989 by singer Keith Caputo , bassist Alan Robert , and guitarist Joey Zampella (who used Joey Z. as an alias). The group recorded a handful of demos produced by Josh Silver of Type O Negative . Their initial drummer was Kenny Pedersen, who was replaced by Eric Chan in the latter half of 1990. Chan was then replaced by Mike Palmeri in 1991. Life of Agony performed up and down the East Coast, developing a loyal fan base. The band eventually signed to Roadrunner Records , and Palmeri was replaced by Type O Negative drummer Sal Abruscato to solidify the lineup. Roadrunner released their debut album River Runs Red in 1993. The following year, Life of Agony continued to build a following, and toured with the likes of Carcass , Pro-Pain , God Lives Underwater , KMFDM , Korn , and more.
