There ain’t no rest for the wicked. After the release of two captivating singles, and a number of recent live shows in France and Benelux, HANGMAN’S CHAIR take a breath today to share some exciting news.
February 11th will see the birth of another bright star in their discography, their new album “A Loner” will be released via Nuclear Blast Records.
“A Loner” is the sixth album of the Parisienne quartet that stands confidently between the wistful sound of goth rock pioneers à la SISTERS OF MERCY, the emotive weight of grunge icons ALICE IN CHAINS and impassioned storytelling of New York hardcore outliers LIFE OF AGONY. It’s a unique combination that makes HANGMAN’s CHAIR stand out as a truly promising prospect in the French metal scene and beyond.

The band states about “An Ode To Breakdown”:“‘An Ode To Breakdown’ was clearly meant to be the first song of our new album ‘A Loner’.
Our new direction, especially sound wise, is perfectly represented by this track.
The cover is also a new direction for us, in contrast of the lyrics, light was chosen. White and neons as the new outfit. We asked the photographer Christopher De Bethune and the illustrator Dehn Sora to tell us what Loneliness means to them. An old man, a bench and the world around. Waiting for nothing.”
