Hiss Spun

Chelsea Wolfe

Crushing industrial doom meets ethereal folk. A dense, distorted exploration of the messy self recorded in the dead of a Salem winter.

It's like a beautiful ghost haunting a heavy machinery factory.

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'Twin Fawn' where the delicate acoustic melody is suddenly obliterated by a wall of sludge metal distortion.
The guest vocal appearance by Aaron Turner on 'Vex' providing a guttural counterpoint to Wolfe's ghostly soprano.
The final minute of 'Scrape' where the music dissolves into a terrifying mechanical screech of rats in the walls.
