Chelsea Wolfe on Embracing Anxiety // New York Post
Chelsea Wolfe, whose genre-blending music has appeared on “Game of Thrones,” “Fear the Walking Dead” and “How to Get Away with Murder,” says she’s embracing her anxiety, her dark past, and “the mess of yourself” on her new record. “I want to face the chaos of the world with my own internal chaos,” she told the New York Post in a sit-down interview. As a child, Wolfe was taken to a sleep center to treat her insomnia and night terrors, from which she continues to suffer. Now she’s using this experience to make art, and is selling out venues across the world. Wolfe’s fifth album, “Hiss Spun,” is out now on Sargent House.

Chelsea Wolfe On Revolver’s 20 Best Albums of 2017
Gothic singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe unveiled her heaviest and most dynamic album yet with a little help from Queens of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen, Mustard Gas and Roses’ Bryan Tulao and SUMAC’s Aaron Turner. But it’s Wolfe’s soaring, ghostly vocals that hold it all together, and under her guidance, the beautifully overcast Hiss Spun luxuriates in serpentine melodies, moaning doom riffs and high atmospheric darkness.

CHELSEA WOLFE AND YOUTH CODE: SURREAL PORTRAITS FROM THE ROAD // Revolver
This fall Chelsea Wolfe brought her cinematic, haunting doom to stages across North America with support from industrial-hardcore duo Youth Code.
Photographer and videographer Nick Fancher joined the bands for a couple of stops on the trek, including their shows at El Club in Detroit and The Metro in Chicago, and captured candid moments with the musicians onstage and off.
Full story and video via REVOLVER.
“Shooting in unconventional locations is my thing, so improvising ‘studios’ to shoot backstage at the El Club and The Metro was nothing new,” says Fancher, who is known for creating compelling, surreal studio-quality portraits in any location. “I try to cater each portrait session I do to the artist sitting in front of me. In Chelsea’s case, her music has had a great impact on my life and makes me feel big feelings, so I really immersed myself in her work, letting it dictate the colors and techniques I used in the shoot. I ended up going a more psychedelic route, using a lot of red and green.”
Scroll through the gallery below for Fancher’s searing portraits of these two compelling heavy-music acts. You can watch his documentary, Grey Days, on his time on the tour above

GREY DAYS: On The Road With Chelsea Wolfe x Youth Code
Chelsea Wolfe and Youth Code’s recent joint U.S. tour brought together two of heavy music’s most compelling contemporary forces, a union that Revolver was not about to miss. Photographer and videographer Nick Fancher tagged along for two stops on the trek, in Detroit and Chicago, capturing the musicians in candid moments onstage and off, soundchecking, applying their show makeup, test-driving instruments at a music store and planning future psychedelic experiments on the tour bus late at night. The result is an intimate portrait of life on the road.
