What is Keith Caputo?

Information about Keith Caputo

Keith Caputo is the lead singer of the New York metal band Life of Agony. He is also a solo artist with three albums and briefly appeared in Freax, a Brazilian industrial metal band.

Career

Caputo started Life of Agony in 1989 with his cousin and guitarist Joey Z.. After signing with Roadrunner Records, they debuted with the 1993 album River Runs Red. Shortly after the release of a third album in 1997, Caputo claimed that his heart was no longer in the type of music they performed and departed from the group.

After leaving the group, Caputo formed Absolute Bloom, but they broke up in July of 1998.

Later, Caputo helped to re-form the Brazilian band Freax, which had broken up over ten years earlier. They developed a self-titled album in 2003.

Caputo also worked extensively on a solo career in this time with two studio albums under his belt.

On January 3 and 4th, 2003, the original line-up of Life of Agony reunited for two sold-out shows at New York's Irving Plaza. The reunion resulted in several more shows and appearances on European festivals, as well as the recording of 2005's Broken Valley, the band's first new material since 1997.

More recently, Caputo provided vocals for the song "Tired N' Lonely" off Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions.

On May 1 2006, Keith Caputo released his new album Hearts Blood On Your Dawn which is not available in the stores, but at his live shows, via mailorder through his website, www.keithcaputo.com, and in the iTunes Store.

He is a guest singer on Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation's track "What Have You Done", the first single from their 2007 album, The Heart of Everything.

Keith also guested on the track "Free Speech (Will Cost You)" on the album Memory Rendered Visible by the band Both Worlds released on Roadrunner Records. He also provided additional backing vocals on Type O Negative's release Bloody Kisses.

Personal life

Much of the lyrics in Caputo's songs reflect on his rough childhood and other aspects of his life. His mother died of a heroin overdose when he was an infant. This had caused speculation that he, too, had sunk into the drug scene; however, Caputo dismisses such claims. Life of Agony songs "Heroin Dreams" & "The Day He Died" focus on Caputo's father whom he lost to a heroin overdose in early 2002. "The day he Died" was written after the death of his father. Keith also has called Amsterdam and Los Angeles home.
