Hangman's Chair - Leaving Paris

heidymccallum

Review by Heidy L. McCallum

Leaving Paris, the latest album by Hangman's Chair, is a powerful and emotive collection of songs that showcase the band's unique blend of doom, sludge, and post-metal. From the opening notes of "Banlieue Triste" to the haunting final track "Naïve," the album takes the listener on a journey through the darker corners of the human experience.

The band's signature sound is built around heavy, distorted guitars, thundering drums, and brooding, melancholic vocals. But what sets Hangman's Chair apart from other bands in the genre is their ability to infuse their music with a sense of vulnerability and introspection. The lyrics are deeply personal and often explore themes of loss, isolation, and despair.

One standout track is "Tired Eyes," which features haunting guest vocals from Aaron Turner of ISIS and SUMAC. The song builds slowly, with layers of guitar and atmospheric synths, before erupting into a cathartic climax.
