Chelsea Wolfe

Chelsea Wolfe is an American singer-songwriter who crafts a cinematic, nocturnal sound that blends gothic rock, doom metal, and folk.

Known for her versatile and hypnotic voice, she navigates the space between ethereal hushes and industrial explosions. Her work often explores themes of liminality, sleep paralysis, and personal transformation, frequently pairing music with a witchy, gothic visual aesthetic. Across her discography, she has evolved from lo-fi dark folk into more ambitious territories, incorporating trip-hop, electronics, and sludge metal. This versatility is evident in her collaborations with artists like HEALTH and Russian Circles, as well as her work on the soundtrack for the horror film X. Whether performing acoustic sets with longtime collaborator Ben Chisholm or delivering wall-of-sound distortion with producers like Dave Sitek and Kurt Ballou, Wolfe remains a singular force in modern dark music.
