Hangman's Chair - A Loner - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD COLOURED

Hangman’s Chair, formed in 2005 in Paris, are one of the most unique sounding modern rock bands currently active. Through the years, they have found and fine-tuned their own sonic brand, somewhere at the crossroads between Type O Negative, Alice In Chains and Sisters of Mercy, to name a few, mixed with a certain street credibility connected to the group’s roots in hardcore. The result is crushing rock expanded with strong elements of shoegaze and new wave, and a foreboding, doomy heaviness. Each album takes its strength and essence from the band members’s life experiences, which they portrait with unflinching honesty. Whether it is the loss of band members, drug overdoses or the hardships of living in suburban Paris, all those human emotions resonate within each of their songs as they embrace the darkness and transform it into something beautiful, heavy and melancholic. After five studio albums and a handful of splits / EPs, Hangman’s Chair is releasing their sixth studio album, “A Loner”. Telling tales about loneliness in all its forms, this record has all the trademarks that makes Hangman’s Chair’s music so visceral, and will keep you in its tight grip from the very first listen.
