French doom metal pioneers Hangmans Chair –  are back with their new single ‘In Disguise’

Ahead of their next studio album, Saddiction, due on 14th February 2025 via Nuclear Blast, French doom metal pioneers HANGMAN´S CHAIR are back with their new single ‘In Disguise‘. A haunting, slow-burning shoegaze doom track that drifts through layers of sorrowful distortion. Its mournful lyrics unravel the weight of depression, echoing the isolation and darkness that consumes the soul.                  

HANGMAN’S CHAIR comments about ‘In Disguise‘: “Wheather, debts, long time since failure, low motivational level, feeling of a need to take action… already depressed? January 20th, more commonly known as “Blue Monday”, what a perfect day to release our third single “In Disguise”. A last fix before the launching of SADDICTION on Valentine’s day. Enjoy!”

Saddiction Tracklist:
1. To Know The Night
2. The Worst is Yet To Come
3. In Disguise
4. Kowloon Lights
5. 2 AM Thoughts (feat DOOL)
6. Canvas
7. Neglect
8. 44 YOD
9. Healed?

About Saddiction“SADDICTION is the contraction of 2 words, sadness and addiction. It means the addiction to sadness. 7th effort of the band, for us, Saddiction is the second album of the new trilogy started with A Loner back in 2022 and it’s the logical continuity. Keeping up with the cold, massively reverbed and chorused atmosphere but now mixed with what Hangman’s Chair has been known for, the heaviness and the low tuned sound, thanks to the magical sound engineer Francis Caste, once again. Valnoir of Metastazis designed the cover and resumed what the identity of Hangman’s Chair is all about in its purest form, concrete, pavement, bleakness and ultra modern solitude of the Parisian « banlieue ». Now, please don’t blame us for your saddiction. It has always been here. In your hearts, February 14th 2025.”
