Chelsea Wolfe

When describing LA singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe, a hyperbolic YouTube commenter may have put it best: ‘It’s as if Satan presided over an unholy mass with members of Black Sabbath and Sonic Youth. Zola Jesus served as the naked altar and in the writhing orgy that consecrated the infernal ceremony, Chelsea Wolfe was conceived.’

When describing LA singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe, a hyperbolic YouTube commenter may have put it best: ‘It’s as if Satan presided over an unholy mass with members of Black Sabbath and Sonic Youth. Zola Jesus served as the naked altar and in the writhing orgy that consecrated the infernal ceremony, Chelsea Wolfe was conceived.’ Though Wolfe’s bleakly beautiful and romantic fusion of doom, drone, black metal, gothic rock, folk and dark ambient and her creepy visual aesthetic have helped build her a remarkably varied and devoted cult following over the past few years, the appearance of track ‘Feral Love’ in a trailer for the fourth season of Game of Thrones has given her popularity a significant recent boost. That track opens her latest album, 2013’s Pain is Beauty, her most electronic-influenced, emotionally direct and epic-sounding work yet.

Providing support for Chelsea Wolfe will be Amsterdam’s own Bird on the Wire. The poetic folk outfit lather their smooth indie sound and sweet guitar strums with the serene vocals of front lady Rosa van Ronsdorf.
