On 13.10.2012, we welcomed Paradise Lost for the first time on our stage. On 15.10.2022, we will see them again. Ten years – almost to the day – will have passed and yet one certainty remains: that of reconnecting with their submerged and inspiring gothic metal. The latest studio album, Obsidian, proves the resilience and musical intelligence of these Brits in search of a lost paradise.
For more than 15 years, Hangman’s Chair has been putting their experiences on paper with poignant honesty. The words are wrapped up in vibrant atmospheres with powerful, humming basses. In a perfect middle ground between doom rock and sludge metal, the Parisian band offers an intense but coherent experience charged with melancholy. Fascinating.
