Whilst The Hangmen were recording their ninth album 'Debauchery In The Mortuary', new vinyl editions of two previous albums sold out in weeks. Their last studio album rocketed straight to number 4 in the worldwide Psychobilly charts on release, now the anticipation for its' follow up is over. The Hangmen write all of their own material and nail it to a sound that is strikingly raw - one guitar, a double bass and drums topped off with a blood curdling vocal. No effects boards, no enhancements, just savage unique rock & roll from the dark side played loud and sweaty through gritted teeth.

"A footstomping beer swilling riot live" - Kerrang!
Described as an explosive live act with a track record spanning the USA, Canada and Russia via most countries between many times over, they've straddled many ‘Psychobilly’ and ‘Punk’ circuits in their time whilst regularly venturing into unchartered domains for new blood. A trail of sweaty rock dives and a discography hosted by a long list of international independent record labels lay in their wake.
