Chelsea Wolfe

California singer Chelsea Wolfe offers an improbable mix of scrappy outsider folk and black-metal atmosphere that works despite long odds. The video for her latest single, a slow-burning acoustic tune called "Hypnos," features black and white footage of Wolfe with a live snake draped around her neck—it's at once ominous and strangely soothing, much like her metal-inflected 2015 release Abyss. New Zealand duo A Dead Forest Index open the show.
