Legendary New York band Life of Agony has shared a new single and music video for the track “Lay Down”! The song comes from their highly-anticipated new album The Sound Of Scars, due on October 11 via Napalm Records. Produced by the iconic Sylvia Massey (Tool, Marilyn Manson, System of a Down), the album is a concept album and the successor to the LOA classic debut River Runs Red. The song is an emotional hug to survivors of trauma. The video was filmed in an actual haunted mansion! Watch the clip below.

“It’s an anthem for survivors,” says bassist Alan Robert. “We’ve all been through situations in our lives where everything seems completely hopeless. ‘Lay Down’ is about believing in yourself when no one else will. Times when you really have to dig down deep to find that that last ounce of strength to keep on going.”

“You could absolutely feel the spirits in those rooms,” Alan continues. “Especially in the basement where we heard that a murder took place.”

White Hill Mansion, located in Fieldsboro, New Jersey, was built over two hundred and fifty years ago on top of a Native American settlement. The historic location stood intact throughout the Revolutionary War and has been investigated countless times by paranormal researchers over the years. The mansion was even featured on the popular television series “Paranormal Lockdown”. The “Lay Down” music video was filmed by Leigh Brooks of Firebelly Films.

“By far, this is the best LIFE OF AGONY record you’ve heard in years,” explains guitarist Joey Z. “We really went back to our roots on this one and tapped into the mindset we had when we first started the band.”
