Chelsea Wolfe returns with her ninth studio album, *The Dark*, to a more organic sound that blends dark folk, gothic rock, and alternative. Guitars, piano, and live drums come together with her strongest songwriting to date and a voice that sounds more powerful and self-assured than ever before.

 

Thematically, *The Dark* explores letting go, self-discovery, and the strength to confront one’s own darkness. Together with producer Ben Chisholm and guest musicians such as Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), Matt Chamberlain, and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, the result is an atmospheric album that consistently evolves Chelsea Wolfe’s unmistakable sound and will appeal to both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
