The Dark LP

The Dark is Chelsea Wolfe's ninth album, out in 2026 and built from gothic folk, doom metal, and industrial parts, circling grief and whatever sits between being alive and not being alive. The Icelandic trio Kaelan Mikla add vocals, and Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age plays guitar. It moves slower and more deliberately than most of what's in her catalog, less a wall coming at you and more a room you have to sit in.
