Page "Life of Agony" Paragraph 3

Vocalist Caputo departed the band following the release of Soul Searching Sun ( 1997 ).

He claimed his heart was no longer in the type of music Life of Agony produced.

The band then toured with ex-Ugly Kid Joe singer Whitfield Crane and went back into the studio, kicked Whitfield Crane out of the band, contemplated moving Alan Robert to vocals and guitar, and former Stuck Mojo bassist Corey Lowery only to realize they did not want to continue under the Life of Agony banner without Caputo.

In 1999 they decided to split.

Alan Robert started Among Thieves with former members of Biohazard and the rest of the band starting Stereomud with Erik Rogers on vocals, both not straying from LOA's style.

A live CD with LOA's unplugged performance at the Dutch Lowlands Festival from 1997 was released in 2000.
