With Saddiction, HANGMAN’S CHAIR deliver an album that fully embraces melancholy and introspection. Released on February 14th, a day traditionally associated with love and connection, the record instead explores themes of solitude, longing, and emotional depth.
Musically, the band continues to refine their signature blend of atmospheric doom and post-metal, creating a soundscape that is both crushingly heavy and deeply immersive. Slow, brooding riffs, layered melodies, and emotive vocals weave together to form an album that feels intimate yet vast, like the echo of a lonely city night.
The album’s concept, described as “nine ways to say I love you,” suggests a nuanced take on affection—one that acknowledges pain, distance, and the weight of modern existence. Each track unfolds like a chapter in this narrative, drawing the listener into its hypnotic, almost cinematic atmosphere.
With Saddiction, HANGMAN’S CHAIR reaffirm their place as a band that doesn’t just create music, but an experience—one that lingers long after the final note fades.
