Chelsea Wolfe enters a new era with her forthcoming album »The Dark«, shaped by sobriety, transformation, and confronting inner shadows. Written after deep self-examination, it moves through darkness rather than away from it, sharpening her blend of mysticism, memory, grief and desire into something heavier, more immediate. Produced with Jennifer Decilveo (Lola Young, Royal & The Serpent, Miley Cyrus) & featuring collaborators from Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam & St. Vincent. Sharper and heavier than ever, »The Dark« is where beauty meets ruin.

Chelsea Wolfe’s new album »The Dark« is out August 21st. Vinyl & physical variants available September 18th.
