Flatspot Records is streaming “Abandoned,” the new single from Long Island-based hardcore act, HANGMAN, from their upcoming debut EP release "A Vile Decree". 

Running with the new track, the magazine has posted commentary from the band on connecting with Brian Zoid – vocalist of legendary Long Island hardcore brutes Neglect, who supplies guest vocals to the track – as well as from Zoid himself. Decibel issues in part, “Long Island hardcore bruisers HANGMAN are one of the many exciting, newer hardcore bands to be watching right now. With their latest EP, A Vile Decree, HANGMAN have made it clear that they can deliver on the same level as their labelmates Mizery and Backtrack.”

Five furious tunes are delivered on A Vile Decree, with upbeat circle-pit energy interjected with slamming grooves and vicious breakdowns. HANGMAN captured the tracks in late spring 2017, the EP recorded and mixed at Silver Bullet Studio in Connecticut with Greg Thomas (Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, Recycled Earth) and mastered by Bill Henderson at Azimuth Mastering.
