==Career== |
|
|
Caputo started Life of Agony in 1989 with his cousin and guitarist ]. After signing with ], they debuted with the 1993 album '']''. 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 1998 and he returned to his native blanch. |

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. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
In 2005, Caputo provided vocals for the song "Tired N' Lonely" off '']''. |
|
|
|

On May 1, 2006, Keith Caputo released his third solo album ''Hearts Blood On Your Dawn'' which is not available in the stores, but at his live shows, via ] through his ], www.keithcaputo.com, and in the ]. |

==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 ] 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.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} |
