HANGMAN’S CHAIR have announced a new album!
Titled Saddiction, the upcoming album from the French doom metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s A Loner, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “Saddiction is the contraction of two words, sadness and addiction. It means the addiction to sadness. Seventh 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.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Kowloon Lights. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from 2 AM Thoughts, which was released last month.
Speaking about the new song, and it’s accompanying music video, the band says, “walking hand in hand into Kowloon Lights in a no moon night, at a loss. Where the neons replaces the sunlight. Like in a Gaspard Noe’s film, Into The Void, we discover every lost souls hiding behind their windows apartment. Each of them with their own vices, regrets and dreams. Your home has become the barrel of a gun and finally the bones of your body become the only neons that enlight the lost souls of the city. Dehn Sora remarkably designed this 3D video for our new single, a glimpse of the new album Saddiction.”
