CHELSEA WOLFE - Apokalypsis LP

Label: Sargent House

Los Angeles "doom folk" singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe may white-out her eyes and show a fondness for gothic and Greek typefaces, but Apokalypsis shows there is more than meets the eye. Chelsea Wolfe's sound is best described with broad strokes: elemental, intense, radiant, ancient yet modern, intimate yet expansive, dark and sparkling.

Hues of black metal and deep blues inform her ever-evolving electric folk, a warm force that wraps itself around the listener, encouraging uplift, seeking triumph.

After The Grime and The Glow, Wolfe relocated to Los Angeles and recorded her second album, 2011's Apokalypsis, which found her in an actual studio with her live band. The title of Chelsea Wolfe's new album, 'Apokalypsis', taken with her hollow-eyed cover art, serves to set an expectation of destruction, darkness, and emptiness. She delivers on that expectation, fusing elements of goth, doom, and even black metal beneath her haunting, hazy vocal presence.
