It's 'Day 2' of the 36th 'BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival', things are a little hectic, BUT, the @EchoChamberFP coverage is still coming at you!

Now today we have another music documentary, (from the Minds strand) but this one hits different f'sure!!!

'The Sound of Scars' is directed by Leigh Brooks. The story of how three friends overcame domestic violence, substance abuse, and depression to form 'Life Of Agony' one of the most influential bands in its genre. Through the success of their groundbreaking 1993 debut "River Runs Red", hailed by Rolling Stone as “One of the Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”, they channeled their cumulative life stories into a soundtrack for a broken generation. As newfound fame allowed them to escape the tragedies of their past, in the wake of their accomplishments, unforeseen obstacles arose.
