Chelsea Wolfe – releases two captivating new songs, “The Dark” and “Death is Not the End,”

Acclaimed musician, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist Chelsea Wolfe releases two captivating new songs, “The Dark” and “Death is Not the End,” via Loma Vista Recordings. The two tracks mark her first new music since 2024’s She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She and serve as the first glimpse of Wolfe’s forthcoming ninth studio album.
 

“Death is Not the End” features guitarist Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Tori Amos, Fiona Apple), while “The Dark” showcases drummer Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett) alongside bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Air, Beck).

Chelsea Wolfe also announces a mammoth 43-date tour across the US and Europe, running from September through the end of 2026. See the full tour dates below, tickets and VIP packages available on chelseawolfe.com.

Chelsea Wolfe returns with new music at the center of a world that she is only beginning to reveal. “The Dark” and “Death is Not the End” arrive after a week of fan speculation, sparked by cryptic imagery, fragments of sound, and the shadowy visual language teased by Heretic Parfum across its socials. 

Fans quickly caught on that the mystery figure was indeed Wolfe, leading them to GHOSTS, Heretic Parfum’s collection of five spectral fragrances and the storied fragrance brand’s first partnership with a musician. Featuring Wolfe as the face of the campaign, the musical soundscapes for the launch were crafted from Wolfe’s new material, giving fans their first glimpse into the sound and feeling of what is coming next. More information on the collaborative collection HERE.

Chelsea Wolfe has become one of the most singular artists in the world, moving fluidly between doom metal, folk, industrial, electronic music, and spectral balladry. She has collaborated with artists including Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Xiu Xiu, and Converge, had her music featured in HBO’s Game of Thrones, co-wrote the score for the A24 horror film X with Tyler Bates and turned heads at last year’s Ann Demeulemeester show at Paris Fashion Week.

Known for building immersive worlds where darkness and beauty are indistinguishable, Wolfe has cultivated a devoted global following through music that explores transformation, spirituality, grief, longing, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. With these new songs and GHOSTS arriving in close succession, she opens the door to a new chapter that feels unmistakably her own.

As she gears up to release more new music this summer, she will headline the esteemed ArcTanGent festival before embarking on her headline tour. Joining Chelsea on the road will be Jonathan Hultén across the US dates and A.A. Williams throughout the European leg.

Last week, Chelsea Wolfe launched a secret pre-order via her mailing list, selling out in under 30 minutes. Fans who secured an order will discover what they’ve purchased later this summer.
