Product Description
Content Introduction Hangman's Chair, the French band that champions "cold doom" encompassing doom metal, hardcore, gothic, and even shoegaze, has released a new album. The album, themed around "loneliness," is relentlessly dark, heavy, and beautiful! Hangman's Chair is a French metal band formed in 2005. They made their album debut in 2007 with "(A Lament for?c) The Addicts." At the time, they presented a Southern rock-influenced style reminiscent of down metal, but with each subsequent album?"Leaving Paris" (2010), "Hope///Dope///Rope" (2012), "This Is Not Supposed to be Positive" (2015), and "Banlieue triste" (2018)?their musical style has diversified. Having absorbed influences from hardcore, Type O Negative, Alice in Chains, Sisters of Mercy, and even shoegaze, they have arrived at a highly original style they call "cold doom." Now, they have signed with major European label Nuclear Blast Records and are releasing their sixth album, "A Loner." As the title suggests, this album is themed around "loneliness," and is relentlessly dark, heavy, and beautiful. Just as Alceste from France has succeeded in attracting fans beyond black metal with their unique aesthetic, Hangman's Chair has a similar feel. This album is sure to appeal not only to doom metal fans, but also to fans of bands like Catatonia and Fields of the Nephilim, as well as post-metal enthusiasts, and Hangman's Chair is sure to become an even more mainstream presence.
