\u00ab Tel temps le jour de Saint-Valentin, Tel temps au printemps qui vient \u00bb. Heureusement que l’hirondelle Hangman’s Chair ne fait pas le printemps, sinon celui-ci risquerait \u00e0 premi\u00e8re vue d’\u00eatre assez frisquet voire maussade. Le septi\u00e8me album des quatre Essonniens sludge \/ stoner est publi\u00e9 ce 14 f\u00e9vrier 2025 chez les Allemands de Nuclear Blast Records. Ils ont intitul\u00e9 celui-ci \u00ab Saddiction \u00bb, soit \u00ab la contraction des deux mots, tristesse et addiction \u00bb (Source : leur communiqu\u00e9 de presse de novembre dernier). Tout un programme. Gageons que leur ami le Professeur Karila ne manquera pas de nous \u00e9clairer quant \u00e0 cette addiction, cette affliction chronique et d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

La pupille de l’observateur est imm\u00e9diatement attir\u00e9e par cette intrigante pochette, t\u00e9n\u00e9breuse et lumineuse \u00e0 la fois. Une barre HLM de plus de vingt \u00e9tages la nuit. Certains appartements sont allum\u00e9s, d’autres non. Les appartements allum\u00e9s forment le titre de cet album studio. Outre quelques paraboles, un n\u00e9on rougeoyant, de type publicitaire, est install\u00e9 sur le toit. Situ\u00e9 \u00e0 gauche et de taille modeste au regard du grand ensemble ainsi que de l’immense intitul\u00e9, il porte le nom du groupe. Les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences \u00e0 la banlieue, \u00e0 la po\u00e9sie urbaine, se font depuis des lustres rares dans la culture rock fran\u00e7aise. Il est en effet bien loin le temps des bandes dessin\u00e9es de Franck Margerin et de Tramber et Jano. Elle est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s loin d\u00e9sormais l’\u00e9poque du Belleville d’Eddy Mitchell (dont Cubi, le chanteur-guitariste d’Hangman’s Chair est fan). Cet artwork sign\u00e9 Jean \u00ab Valnoir \u00bb Simoulin (Paradise Lost, Watain, Alcest ou encore Blut aus Nord) effectue un rappel (semble-t-il d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 ?) \u00e0 celui de Banlieue triste<\/em>, le p\u00e9nulti\u00e8me LP d’Hangman’s Chair paru en 2018.<\/p>\n

Pourtant, ce Saddiction<\/em> se revendique davantage de son pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur direct. Et pour cause : \u00ab Le septi\u00e8me album du groupe est pour nous le deuxi\u00e8me album de la nouvelle trilogie commenc\u00e9e avec \u00ab\u00a0A Loner\u00a0\u00bb en 2022, et il en est la suite logique \u00bb (Dixit le communiqu\u00e9 pr\u00e9cit\u00e9). Musicalement, l’objectif est atteint. On n’observe que tr\u00e8s peu de changement dans la continuit\u00e9, et les fans de la bande \u00e0 Cubi en seront ravis. Cette derni\u00e8re a une fois encore fait appel \u00e0 Francis Caste, le ma\u00eetre des studios Sainte-Marthe de Belleville (le producteur de tout le gratin du metal fran\u00e7ais et assimil\u00e9, et plus r\u00e9cemment de nos amis bruxellois de My Diligence). L’auditeur accoutum\u00e9 retrouvera ainsi les grattements haletants sur les cordes graves des deux guitares, les descentes instrumentales abyssales, les arp\u00e8ges indie parfois proches des premiers Cure, la lourdeur pachydermique des rythmes mid-tempo, les ambiances shoegaze, le r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel arty, et surtout cette voix, \u00e0 la fois juv\u00e9nile et mature, anxieuse et d\u00e9contract\u00e9e, tant\u00f4t plaintive tant\u00f4t extatique.<\/p>\n

Oui, car il convient de d\u00e9passer les apparences. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, Hangman’s Chair n’est pas un groupe strictement d\u00e9pressif, complaisamment lugubre ou gothique. Sa musique est certes pesante, mais elle laisse tout de m\u00eame percer de la luminosit\u00e9. Elle offre m\u00eame un contraste permanent entre le sombre et le lumineux, c’est probablement ce que souhaite r\u00e9sumer la couverture de ce nouveau disque. La clart\u00e9 de la voix de Cubi permet de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer ce contraste. C’est d’ailleurs un vrai plaisir de retrouver celle-ci sur \u00ab To Know The Night \u00bb, \u00ab The Worst is Yet To Come \u00bb et \u00ab In Disguise \u00bb, des compositions o\u00f9 la m\u00e9lancolie c\u00f4toie l’extase. \u00ab Kowloon Lights \u00bb relate une promenade lors d’une nuit sans lune dans les rues de Hong-Kong, au milieu de barres de l’autre bout du monde, sous les regards de gens planqu\u00e9s derri\u00e8res leurs fen\u00eatres. Arch\u00e9typale du style Hangman’s Chair, la chanson \u00ab 2 AM Thoughts \u00bb \u00e9voque les tourments nocturnes. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9e avec leur ami Raven van Dorst, le chanteur de DOOL, formation batave avec laquelle ils \u00e9taient en tourn\u00e9e \u00e0 l’automne dernier. D’autre part, et surtout, un soin particulier a \u00e9t\u00e9 apport\u00e9 aux harmonies vocales. Comme aux meilleures heures d’Alice in Chains ou de King’s X, les efforts du chanteur se marient harmonieusement avec les ch\u0153urs de ses comparses (sur \u00ab Healed \u00bb par exemple). L’union du vocal et de l’instrumental formant plus globalement un ensemble musical tr\u00e8s coh\u00e9rent. Un tr\u00e8s bon disque de stoner contemporain, urbain mais contemplatif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
