In this day and age, it's really hard to be original. All we can do is make the best art that we can. If it sounds good, then hopefully that will be enough. But Chelsea Wolfe has created something so unique, some of us have a hard time to label her music. And when you can't put something in a box and put a tag on it, then you've created something very original.
The best I can describe Chelsea Wolfe is that it's a cross between folk and doom metal. Her vocals are very lovely, but also have a haunting feel, thanks to the reverb. You can also say that there is also a Black Metal influence. Especially her shriek on "Pale On Pale".
Other than "Pale On Pale", "Demons" is also a great track. Of course "Demons" is a re-recorded track from Chelsea's first album, "The Grime and The Glow" I do have to say that I enjoy the "Apokalypsis" version. "Tracks (Tall Bodies)" is also great. That's a song I like to put on when I just want to relax.
Of course by now, you've hear many awesome things about Chelsea Wolfe. Especially since she had some sessions on PBS. So if you're looking for some new music, I recommend "Apokalypsis" by Chelsea Wolfe. And if she is coming to a town near you, totally go and check it out.
This album gets "5 Hitlers Punched in the Face"
