CHELSEA WOLFE Announces New Album 'The Dark'; Shares New Single, "Cold"
Chelsea Wolfe says the record was shaped by personal upheaval and sober reflection, with guitar-driven songs and a new single, “Cold.”
- On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, Chelsea Wolfe announced her ninth album, 'The Dark', scheduled for release on August 21 via Loma Vista. The project emerged from personal upheaval and self-reflection.
- Wolfe collaborated with producer Jennifer Decilveo to shape the album, aiming to overcome "self-abandoning" after prioritizing others' needs over her own. The title reflects a "dark night of the soul" moment.
- Moving away from her 2024 electronic sound, Wolfe incorporated guitar-heavy arrangements, including a contribution from guitarist Troy on 'Swallower'. "This is the perfect spot to give Troy another space," she said.
- Last month, Wolfe unveiled the title track and 'Death Is Not The End' as teasers. She plans her first live performance at London's The Dome before headlining ArcTanGent Festival.
- Reflecting on the album's themes, Wolfe stated, "I don't think there's ever really a final destination" regarding self-discovery. She views the process as ongoing re-evaluation of identity and life choices.
