About Hangman

Hangman was originally formed in spring 1997 by Mikael & Petrus to play Heavy Metal like Mercyful Fate / King Diamond.

In late 1999 or early 2000 we decided to call it off.

Late autumn 2005 the band relocated and reunited with only one original member, Mikael. The first line-up for the new Hangman was: Mikael - Lead Guitar, Jani - Lead Guitar, August - Vocals, Albert - Drums. No bassist. New material was heavier and more mature. Just before we hit the studio for a brand new promo Jani left the band and we were out of twin guitar. Now we have two original members after Petrus rejoined the band. Bass on this new recording was played by Melek T.

In a month and a half we were introduced to Tomas. This young "thunderfinger" showed his talents in audition and was immediately signed for the band.

Now we are ready to make things happen! Promotion and live playing is our main target for the rest of the year 2006. Including a video shootage for one song. We are all very passionate about our band and will do our best to give people something special, something beautiful, something spooky...

Some line-up changes again. A silent Hanging of August took place in early december 2006 though we were getting ourselves ready for the studio to record our debut album. In few weeks we saw an add of a vocalist and contacted him asap. We arranged an audition for him and that was it....

Please welcome to our Hanging party, Jeremia!

We have finaly found the right voice for our music!!!

Hang on...
