“Chelsea Wolfe plays folk music but counts plenty of metalheads among her fans. Abyss, her heaviest (and best) collection to date, was produced by John Congleton. Featuring more musicians and a deep, distorted doom guitar, the record is expansive and teeming, adding an anthemic dimension that you won't find in her other work.”
“Chelsea Wolfe's latest record is her most dense and brooding yet.”
“Chelsea Wolfe is an L.A. singer-songwriter with a taste for black veils and other unabashed goth affectations. But her fifth LP shows she's much more than a gimmick. Her voice is more confident than it's ever been, whether it's bathed in industrial noise on the opener, "Carrion Flowers," or backed by ghostly fingerpicking on "Survive." When she sings, "My heart is a tomb/My heart is an empty room,”
“Chelsea Wolfe drags the Abyss from the periphery and places it front and centre”
