Hangman’s Chair sign to Nuclear Blast

HANGMAN’S CHAIR have signed to Nuclear Blast!

Having formed in 2005, the Paris-based band are considered one of the most unique doom sounding acts still active. Now, they mark the next step in their future by signing a worldwide record deal with Nuclear Blast.

The band state, “We’re thrilled about this new collaboration with a respectable and renowned music company such as Nuclear Blast Records. Looking forward for a brighter future, let’s see where it will leads us.”

Jerome Riera, European Head Of Label for Nuclear Blast, adds:
“I’m delighted to welcome HANGMAN’S CHAIR to the Nuclear Blast family. With our label stepping up its operation in France I’m really pleased to be working with an act that represents some of the best emerging talent the French metal scene has to offer, bringing them to an international audience. HANGMAN’S CHAIR forthcoming album is going to be fantastic, and I’m sure their heavy, heart-rending sound will strike a mournful chord with audiences all over the world.”

To celebrate the signing, the band have released a brand new single, with an accompanying music video, titled Cold and Distant.

Watch the official music video for Cold and Distant here:

About the song, the band states, “The words of Travis Bickle still resonate  ‘I realise now how much she’s like the others, cold and distant’. We are Travis as we are Betsy. When the World tries to cure and save you, we choose isolation. Embrace your depression and don’t complain! This first extract gives a 5 minutes snippet of what to expect from the new album. Moreover, Béatrice Dalle, who stars the Cold & Distant video, fits the suit so easily, it’s like it was made for her.”
